Yeah I'd probably stop him. The minimal gain you get from bumping him to miraculous and beyond is better used on a younger player.

Thoughts on destructive RM/LM bowlers? A bloke on the TM atm that I thought would be a great replacement for verhoeven, then I realised he was only RM, not RFM.. was sure I'd read somewhere that people haven't found them overly effective?

He's decent, I think I've got enough money for that too.

Edit: Blah, only $15m. I swear I had $20m+

Can't really speak for my own team, as I've never had any particularly good medium pacers.

However, I've definitely been taken apart by destructive medium pacemen, albeit highly skilled ones. A national player or two, I think.

Think they're a good option, as they can work alright on all pitches. However, I wouldn't want one as my stand-out strike bowler.

0.1 W Daniels to Dylan
Slightly wide and Dylan throws the kitchen sink at it. Skies a top edge out to point and it's safely pouched.

Great start 8|

End of Over 40: 161-10, runrate=4.03
Coburn 7-2-13-4
Sekhon* 1 (6 balls)

Thats last time my boys will take to the pitch, and its looking like ending in a win. A couple of days until Coburn can be listed, so will wait till then to list them all.

Got any bowlers one could afford with 11-11.5m??? Preferably RFM/LFM or RF/LF.

Both of the top two teams in my league chucked today's matches so they wouldn't possibly auto-promote. Why on earth do people like that bother playing?

That their capitulation pushed me down to fourth place has nothing to do with my ire, of course.
