    My follow up was to ask you what 'wut' meant. Not much can be deciphered from 3 letters so almost certainly (and not unreasonably) I have concluded the motive was otherwise - that we have already discussed. The nature and the tone of your further responses have also already been discussed.

    But you quite literally didn't ! You said 'wut' - but did not choose to explain why, perhaps attempting to intimate it was beneath you and merely wanted to register your disdain (we can never be 100% certain as all words spoken are subjective to the writer, which is why I asked you to elucidate...

    Why so aggressive? If you don't value it then why post, just let it go as most of us do the posts here ? Is there any needfor such vitriol, what is your objective , what response are you hoping for ? We are a small group of people with different ideas, thought and energies for playing an...

    Tells you nothing about what? It would be great if you could be a little more fulsome in your answers - I To kick-off, catches per match tells you how many catches per match a fielder takes which means you have a direct comparison to another player in your squad at a generic level... there can...

    So you are saying you do not agree that is a correct basis for evaluating fielding levels in terms of the number of runs they might impact a match by? If so - the 'non-starter' of the 'math', is it the concept itself ? or that something I have calculated has been performed incorrectly? You...

    Jura have never gone so far in the CUP... I realise (now!) we are not good enough to play this long without huge ramifications for the fitness of our squad. I know i should bow out but you only get once chance in 10 probably to go this far so i continue to play my best team. It is at the big...

    Oh now I see why! Well it would be a mean chap who denied you the right to enjoy a win against the team 8th in the world and had a superior XPV (although his WR is based on his OD rather than T20 skills, though he looks like he will take the title) I'm happy to have edged in front of the...

    I really hope you have dropped the ball there zor.ax on the IGT being more in Div1 then 2 than 3 etc - i have never heard that !! I know about the 1 ball for batters etc and had many debates on IGT for bowlers and the relative importance of 1 over in OD T20 and DEV but no one has ever said...

    That would mean the captain is displaying better captaincy skills for one fielder than he does for another - I am not sure the ME would be that skilful. More likely a captain of x skill make xx% of mistakes and one of y skill only y% of mistakes but across all fielders not just the best or worst...

    I agree- better captaincy, then fielders are put in the right places at the right time to the right bowlers so the potential to improve your catches per game improves (also influenced by the strength of opposition of course- if you play a BOT you are likely to take 10 wickets and say 5 catches...

    Stumped!

    Going back to the above ..... some musings on the importance of fielding My best fielder has a bullet arm and averages 0.41 catches a match. Let's remove him and then my best fielder who has an actual of 10 for fielding averages 0.31 catches a game - my worst fielders who have an actual of 3 to...

    I dont think you overpaid for him. Money is relative as well of course in real life and in Stumped - if you are sitting on $5m is it only 10% of your funds. He maybe fills in a piece of your jigsaw and if you wait you don't find another and every week the other components of the team, or squad...

    I was thinking of him but didn't mention his name as bidding was live. I am not saying you payment for him was too high just there a number of smiliaraities to my chap in terms of bowling and bowling split which means 5k is possibly too low an estimate as he sold for 525k The bowling pot...

    Just looked at the TM based - i think i may be undervaluing him at 5k based on current sales!

    ok to put you out of your misery he is POT - 32 BAT (10,10,12) 43 BOWL (18,9,16) medium pacer. Shame he wasn't a couple more on the bowling front' although the mix is quite good with 18 Accuracy . He as 'PoT 16 Stamina and 8 fielding with 6 captaincy at the moment I think though he is a bit...

    Lol I know you are right - I am looking for the appliance of science when this is just an old village fairground coconut shy! One of them is a Bangladeshi so I should do the decent thing - and if he is any good Id rather be dealing with our esteemed Bangladeshi Manager and new assistants than...
