I expect Kyle to decline the offer of this new player as we already have a lot of bowlers and need to improve our batting, so are holding out for a bat at the moment. I'm pretty sure we all agreed in the panel to do this (hold out for a bat).

Hollow feeling for Clapham this.

Hehe, yeah. We're not exactly making him feel welcome, are we?

The one true downside of the new policy

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Just for further reference, it'd be good if captains took a look at the newly signed up player even though it's not their turn, so that we can get quickly through the rota.

Blue also decline. We have Halsey and Currie, and as it is Currie struggles to get into the side. Another spinner would get nowhere.

edit: We also have Gooljar.

hehe... whatever suits best is fine by my... still trying to get used to the idea tbh... so it doesn't worry me

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

If he'd convert to seam-up he might get more interest.

If it makes a difference i do occasionaly bowl left arm seamers ??? doesn't worry me

 

[Loony BoB]

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just going by the Squad Assignments thread here, but...

Colts - 17 players including 4 frontline spinners and 1 parttime spinner.
Reds - 16 players including 2 frontline spinners and 2 parttime spinners.
Black - 17 players including 3 frontline spinners and 1 parttime spinner.
Blue - 17 players including 4 frontline spinners.
Green - 16 players including 2 frontline spinners.

Surely it would be logical for Green to tak this player? I can't expect that a side with 3/4 spinners will be looking to add yet another to their ranks.

If he were to convert to a batsman, Colts might be interested but would also expect some other team to get them first.

Yeah, as you can see from Bob's list, we have plenty of spinners and really quite seam-friendly tracks. So if you want to be an LM or an LMF, that's fine.

LFM it is then

 

[Mister Wright]

Unfortunately the Colts are in desperate needs of batsman, and with the likely inclusion of Patrick, we will have to decline drafting Clapham. We wish him the best of luck with whichever team drafts him.

 

[Mister Wright]

Has Clapham been assinged a grade cricket team yet? If not, IMO he should be. At least he can be active and doing something until a development team picks him up.

 

[Robertinho]

This is pretty shocking. He's active (from what I can tell) unlike certain other players and I reckon he'd be a good bloke to have around. Possibly, to "enhance his marketability", he could lower his bowling average to the mid-low twenties? Or something of the sort. Just a quick change to the ol' signup stats, even though it embarrasses me that when a guy is 100% honest with his stats, he can't get picked up.

Clapo, don't hate the player, hate the game.

Fair point.

Red it is.

 

[Adamc]

Are there any disadvantages to a team picking up a player? Squad limits or anything such?

Apart from moving to the bottom of the rota, no.

 

[Adamc]

Right, wasn't aware of the rota system.

I reckon a review needs to be carried out on so called "active" players.

 

[Johnners]

Red it is.

W00t,

Must ask though, if reds have a gun Pace attack is it possible to change back as a spinner ??
