My worst bowler was a superb-strong until I sold someone and now it is comp-med.

Haven't really thought about long-term strategy as haven't had much time to study my side and I haven't a clue how far people are from popping but I think an all-rounder is on the cards if I can scrape the money together for them. What do people train 17yo all-rounders on nowadays? Thinking I may need 3-4 nets for them which isn't really a go at the moment so wondering if I should wait until next season possibly.

I got a proficient/woe/woe stam as my 6th bowler ftw...

By the end of the season everyone in my 1st XI will be proficient plus also.

A 17yo a/r is worth it properly with 6:

2 bat
2 bowl
1 stam
1 field

You could get away with 1 bat though - and make a bowler who bats very well

Okay, quick transfer poser if anyone's around to weigh in: I need cover for Bromby, who is dying out there (dying, I tells yer). I have about 400k to spend, and in an ideal world I'd get something for tomorrow's match. Those parameters leave me with ... this guy.

Pretty much what I'm after (well, he'll do I s'pose); bidding finishes at 3am. Only problem - 275k opening price. Is this obscene? Am I mad to be even considering this? Or is it just a sign of the times?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yep obscene, you're mad etc.

 

[Dead Badger]

Yer, thought so. Good good, well I'll just be off and polish the cat then.

Batting: 	competent 	Concentration: 	feeble
Bowling: 	remarkable 	Consistency: 	remarkable
Fielding: 	strong

6.89, had a small bidding war with volrathy, and it felt good to outbid the ****. Will be getting two nets this season and then a single for a few after that.

Playing a bot, bowled first and finished it for 19, set the declare target to 200 and have already declared, should win within 20 minutes. It's an away game so I don't care.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Oh and I think Rodgie's a **** and he probably feels the same way about me, but the kid loves his battrick and will be pretty damn good for Pakistan IMO. Good luck to him.
