I'd have this as your team:

J Edgehill
D Giles
A Watts
C Macey
I Tailor
D Gatsha
+R Mpho
M Lynn
C Lebohang
J Sekhon
C Mohan

Watts, Lebohang, Lynn, Sekhon and Mohan the bowlers. With Lebohang and Sekhon as your opening bowlers. Though look on the market for some mediocre primary players - they're incredibly cheap. Give Edgehill and Lebohang stamina, primary and fielding/wk training

 

[andyc]

damn the new teams dont really get much do they

Are you serious? He's got two proficients there! My team had two mediocre batsmen, one competent bowler and one mediocre bowler.

 

[andyc]

Just got 60k off Jones, way more than I expected.

 

[GotSpin]

My first team had two competants and one mediocre

some good cheap players on the marekt coming up for sale in a few days!

 

[superkingdave]

yeah i had 2 competants and a respectable in my starting side

Yeah, only problem is that everyone's thinking the same thing so they won't be cheap by the time their deadline rolls round. Still looking for a bowler, found one guy who would be perfect for my team but his price is already getting up towards my spending limit. Noticed this namesake as well:

1. Dan Vettori  £ 620,000 (opening price)
Plays for: comedy club 	Stamina:	woeful 	W/Keeping:	feeble
Age: 27 years old 	Batting:	mediocre Concentration:	feeble
BT Rating: 10,813 	Bowling:	superb 	Consistency:	woeful
Deadline: 10/03/2006 10:30 Fielding:    woeful

Pretty accurate, even the age is correct. Only problem is that he's a LF instead of LH Spin bowler.

And he's a superb bowler.

Who's been the longest serving Battrick member from CW. I joined on the 25/4 last year and i'm pretty sure Adam joined a day before that.

 

[ash chaulk]

i went a day after you 26/4

 

[Adamc]

I was 24/04, same as Hakon. He applied before me though, so I don't think it's possible to have joined before then. I just checked the team page of the creator of BT and he joined 24/04 as well.

Now that we're back to the start of the draw again, I'll actually be able to win my next two games. Hopefully it'll help stop my members from leaving, as they have been this last week.

This coming one is against a team that just started this week, so I'm TIEing, opening with Griffin and resting Canning for the Battrick Cup and just to get his fitness level up a bit. Am also interested to see what he can do against a rubbish attack before his low (mediocre) stamina kicks in. He's on very attacking, so I'm hoping for some fierworks. Then again, my top 5 batsmen are all on very attacking.

In terms of joining date, I started last season, on the 21st of September to be exact.

Can't believe you left out Zonke from there.

I'd be going for something like:

A Watts/D Giles (given that Watts is bowling, he may get tired more opening, but he's got good stamina so he'd be a good opener)

G Zonke
J Edgehill* (I just like having my best bat at 3)
D Giles/A Watts
C Macey
I Tailor
D Gatsha
R Mpho+
M Lynn
C Lebohang
J Sekhon
C Mohan

Same bowlers as Rob said.

You're pretty lucky in that you have two proficients in your starting side, but you should start looking for some better youth players. Basically, given that you're starting out, you should really be aiming for at least mediocre primaries for all of your players.

GFI'ing it against the top side tomorrow. Hopefully i should get strong or even supurb orders

 

[trevor_vayro]

Playing the No.2 in my league tomorrow, who have a record of 5/1/1. I'm torn between GFIing and seeing if I could possibly live with them, or TIEing and salvaging at least a fitness boost out of an otherwise lost cause. Their last ratings were Strong/Resp/Abs - Prof/Use/Med, as opposed to my Comp/Comp/Abs - Comp/Med/Feeb. But I'm thinking they probably GFIed their last game, as their top order and seam bowling are both up a level on their other recent performances, and I'm presuming that they wouldn't bother their bottoms GFIing against me, as on courrent form it appears that some of the Stephen Hawkin in my speech software is rubbing off on my team!

So what it boils down to I guess, is if their PAN ratings are something like Prof/Resp/Abs - Resp/Use/Med, would I stand a chance against them on GFI? or should I save my fitness?


Oh, BTW, Joined on 27/09/05, and from the sound of some of your starting teams, I think I was quite lucky. I had 4 Comps and 2 Med batsmen, and 2 Resp, 1 Comp and a Med bowler. But they were mostly too old to train, and nearly all of them were regular visitors to the ccoronary care unit!

Later, Trev
