    Battrick

    Only experience pops for me -- Gibb and McGregor up to Miraculous, Sandwith to Elite+1. Marshall should have popped to Sensational batting weeks ago, which is annoying. He's 23 and I need the net elsewhere!

    Nicely done, that man. Always like to see a good cupset!

    Battrick

    Nope. He'd take three seasons to even get up to Respectable stamina -- if he was starting with a Respectable primary, I might consider it. As it is, a few £k should get you someone better, e.g. a Competent/Mediocre with Mediocre stamina.

    Strewth! I've slipped right down while I've been away. Time to rectify that... I got the same ratings for my last two OD league games of last season: Exceptional = 14 x 3 = 42 Elite = 20 x 4 = 80 Proficient = 8 x 4 = 32 Elite = 20 x 3 = 60 Phenomenal = 19 x 2 = 38 Respectable =...

    Battrick

    Hello all! I've been away for what feels like bloody ages, and is probably close to two months. Just sort of stopped visiting. Then I noticed Magical Ponies in my BT20 league, and remembered that you lot actually existed! Have I missed much?

    Cheap trainees

    Early-season 17yo Respectables have been well over £500k for several seasons now, and high Competents aren't all that far behind any more, esp. those with all-rounder potential. Wait 'til the closer to the end of the season, or go for an 18yo. Unless you're trying to end up over the...

    How big is your squad?

    21, comprising 10 proper players (BTR 60k+), 7 fillers/reserves, 2 passengers and two YPs from this season (one who'll be trained, another who'll be summarily executed if he doesn't sell at the third time of asking).

    SpeedzzzzzSterzzzz, right? Well, the opposition are following on, 70 or so runs behind still, and with 6 2nd innings wickets remaining.

    Ha! BRILLIANT! :laugh:

    Battrick

    If you're caught with that (and yes, there's definitely one MOD around here), your joint team would definitely get locked down. For a first offence, you and tait express might get away with just a fine, but I wouldn't count on it, multiple teams being arguably the no.1 bad thing to do on Battrick.

    Battrick

    Sorry, just noticed that he's 18yo, rather than 17yo -- thought he was a top-notch week 1 YP! That definitely puts his value down. £1M certainly, £1.5M if you're lucky.

    Battrick

    Are you selling or buying? He'll go for an absolute shedload -- I wouldn't be surprised at £2M.
  15. Mahindinho

    Battrick

    Yes. He'll be available until the day he turns 20. Not a chance. Even the smaller nations would expect far better than that for an U19 player.

    Battrick

    Happy days! I remember watching the 2nd round match in the TV room of my uni hall of residence -- it was basically a hundred or so England fans and me (plus large Sri Lanka flag). Most of them ended up supporting SL for the rest of the tournament!

    Battrick

    Interesting...but getting someone to put FOUR bowling nets on a player who realistically will never be good enough is just irresponsible. Sure, he's a nice trainee, and with continued training on 2 primary nets will eventually be a star bowler, potentially Masterful or higher...but those 3rd...

    See post #1: Batstats rating = (Top Order x 3) + (Middle Order x 4) + (Lower Order x 4) + (Seam Bowling x # of seamers) + (Spin Bowling x # of spinners) + (Fielding). I do feel a bit guilty at mine going up to Competent! Having said that, batting down to #8 or #9 has saved me a couple of times...

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    Indeed -- it's been good, with some tight games and a couple of shocks. Hopefully I'll not be quite so busy this time next season. If someone could do a match report of the final, I'd be grateful. If not, I'll try to get one up tomorrow during my lunch break. Congrats Andy -- you've justified...

    Battrick

    Salaries up £322k to £327k. Ouch! One stamina pop (Sandwith to Strong), but that's it. Was it AndyC asking about skills decreasing with age? Stamina definitely goes first -- I've got a 34yo who's just dropped to worthless. He dropped two levels at once (!) two seasons ago, having been feeble...
