Well ended up losing my match by five wickets, which was far better than I thought I'd do. Made 213/8, should've made a bit more but Cuss was runout for 35. They messed around with their batting lineup a bit which contributed to me getting five wickets, and when their best batsmen came in they knocked off the runs pretty easily. Pretty satisfied with the result given that I TIE'd though, and got some rather nice ratings. Cuss makes a hell of a difference:

Lower Order: 	woeful 	        mediocre
Seam Bowling: 	strong   	superb
Spin Bowling: 	quality 	sensational
Fielding: 	mediocre 	respectable

Can't wait to see what I'll manage on a normal, not sure if I'm going to play next week on normal or not. The other good news was that I sold Bridge for a tick over 255k, which I was pretty happy with. He's very close to proficient batting though so he was probably worth close to that, but still, I didn't expect him to sell at the 250k reserve. If I manage to sell Pollock soon I'll have close to 1.5 million to splash out on a new player or two before next season; today's match has certainly made me more confident of being competitive when the first 'proper' season in the Premier league starts.

Won my match comfortably in the end. GFId it to see if I could raise my run rate. Particularly pleased with Weekes performance. He's my captain so nice to see him getting some bowling form.

What are the sizes of the grounds of you guys? I'm currently at 17000. I plan to upgrade though after my next home league match. Especially my standing and sitting sections. Those are usually sold out.

Ooh, I got a 475k bid for Pollock. Deadline is tomorrow at 11am BT time, hopefully there'll be another bid or two.

[nibbs]

my ground holds 25,000. bank edged over 800,000 this week

i lost today by 9 wickets, turning my promotion procession into an absolute fracas. my opponent has 2 very good players, and i suspect that he may have GFIed also, meaning I'm probably going to have to play a qualifier now, thats if i am able to win my division. ffs, can't say i'm overly happy about this.

[GotSpin]

Will be interested to see my ratings in two weeks time when team morale is up to animated with sublime team fitness plus an extra batsmen which i hopefuly will purchase tonight.

Not sure if i want to go in to debt to get a good batsmen or still have 100k up the sleave for slightly worse batsmen

 

[Hoggy31]

What do you guys reckon, keep or sell? He's a superb leader too, and my current captain has the same primaries (although better secondaries).

 

[roseboy64]

If you're near bankruptcy I'd sell him. Otherwise keep him. Also, do you have any spare nets?

I've got 127k in the bank, so I'm alright. I don't have that much net space, however. I'm training, or planning to train, the following players:

But if I were to get Jones's bowling up, he could play as a second allrounder with Canning so I'd have a very decent batting line-up. Currently, if I want to play two allrounders, I have to let Drench bowl:
