    Cookson does not deserve to be fired for nothing - Geese bought for them a very expensive waged keeper recently so I dont have a space there , although at 5k a week cheaper Cookie is tempting ..and in Jura I have a guy who is a few weeks from joining the senior side - which will leave me in the...

    You have a squad of 18 and 12 of them are under 22 so do you not have 9 players who have the opportunity to net with at least 2 stars for something- - ideally u have 9 players always who need a lot of netting and as 2 or 3 drop off from the top each season as they near or reach 22 they are...

    I think it is better you just make a decision at the time and go with it . IF you don't you are paying two wages and using up IGT and nets on both which is stunting the development of the one you keep - you will end up with two mediocre players after 1 season of 'half rations' and then sell one...

    Why do you train players not to keep them for the long term is my Tom Hanks 'BIG' question! (have not looked at them just read the post only) I don't see DEV as a stand-alone end in itself merely a journey by which one 'develops' players for your senior team - sure some players will not last...

    The difficulty or pleasure of course is that there are so many variables that impact one player in a match let alone across all 22! - I'm no maths genius but when you have so many variations it is difficult to say - oh yeah thats down to touch that is!! so then you kinda play safe and your...

    Hi Guys - just reading Ataraxias last message - and id like to touch on Touch! I have a guy at 16 touch at the moment and I have really noticed how well he is playing - not just run quantity but the speed of them. Do you notice much difference / correlation with touch ? how much note do you...

    Perhaps GG can do you a big favour - as for our match it is very much unknown at this stage- i was really hoping and then half way through expecting 240 - now we will be lucky to make 200 - that is a 50/50 shot at best against your quality batting team De Beers blocking for 6 balls so that...

    You are being tongue in cheek here right - in regards your BQ issue! I guess if you are inaccurate you bowl a lot of wides and no balls and it doesnt go where you planned BUT that only adds to the mystery of your movement and variations to bamboozel the batter? Anyway will love to hear about...

    He has got the stamina to bat and bowl regularly so that is handy - the fielding is a thumbs down (you can't have everything for 1k!) , but the batting is nicely spread - knowing you - youll probably sell him for 200k next season as well! :) How do you deal with the Accuracy?

    a fine effort - you had them rocking at 204/7! Jalal was a tad expensive but you cannot fault his performance or selection really after his 46* gave you a fighting total in the first place - You have absolutely pulverised their fitness levels - no consolation for you though , and looking at...

    IN CWC 6 Premier League that close game between TMO and Charminster may have had a critical impact on determining the final 4. Charminster in 5th are now 6 points adrift of 4th place - if they had won a tight game the points of 2nd to 5th place would have been 32, 31, 30 and 27. The Geese were...

    I know the feeling , i dont dare to look when the last time was that either club pulled anything but a muscle! Basically Z-orax's Bangladeshi YP thread is just a waste paper basket twice a week for my 'new youth' Look- Click- Look - Bin !

    Congrats to Free HK for marching on in the CUP - On a spinners wicket ours were just not as tight and productive as FHK. Aside from that a plodding innings from Sampson of 60 off 124 balls restricted us to 213 whilst in contrast Law struck 94 off 105 - of course Sampson might argue that this is...

    I am pleased to say we are now WR 1 in the Stumped World....... oh sorry I meant WR1 Oceanian team (whose preferred nation is Bangladesh ) Stumped team in the World! :laugh:

    That is totally crazy - I know it is human nature to often feel hard done by - but sometimes I put a decent player up for sale aged 26-29 and he won't even get a nibble for 1k and then i see inferior players go for sale for 50-150k! But I'm not brave enough to have him sat there on my wage list...

    In light of the WI vs BNG match i can guess what experimentation that might be!! :laugh:

    You are quite right and as an X number 1 WR that is the standard you have reached and are used to. I guess Kandy are in the circle of never having had such a player or the money to buy them - so discussion on such riches and or abilities causes a smile- but your point is fair enough :thumbup1:
