What price do low and high respectable 17yo sell for at around this time? What kind of wage would a high competent be as well?

Thanks guys.

 

[andyc]

Not sure about the price for a 17 yo, but, depending on secondaries, anything around 600 is pretty close to respectable AFAIK

Haha Cameron, I see you've cracked Div 2 OD yet again. Nice work. How's your side looking? I haven't been around much but I've been rejigging the side recently. I'd really focused heavily on getting young players in, at the detriment of present performance, but I've since sold a trainee or two and bought an older player to replace him. Sitting in Div 3 OD/FC and Div 4 BT20 - looking to promote in all 3, and realistically could, although I heavily doubt it in FC. The side is looking pretty decent at the moment but I've only just caught on to the whole '100k+ wage freak' phase, not looking forward to having to recruit elite/elite players for a season and then moving them on. Too much effort

I made a big effort to assemble a freak bowling lineup, ended up selling Hulse (22yo rem bat wond bowl) and buying Sanders (28yo mast/phon bowl). The end result:

Allott (sens/exc)
Appleyard (sens/exc)
Sanders (mast/phon)
Salhan (mast/sens)
Holdsworth (exq/phon)

Hopefully going to give me a better chance at actually bowling ****s out in FC

rob. nice looking bowling lineup. actually, it's better than mine ffs.

Anton (exq/mirac)
Allison (sens/phon)
Spring (mast/mast)
Scholes (sens/mast)
McIntosh (excep/mirac)

you know, we really should tee up a bhutia-duggan trophy match at the end of the season.

i ballsed up allison's nets so he has a few more weeks to go it would seem. coates is now ready to start developing into a real superstar bat. or duggan 2.0. he's the guy i hope can lead me to I.1 OD glory this season.

Am really only focusing on ODs tbh. Side looks much the same, with Canning (wond/wond bat, exq/exq bowl) getting on at 31, but 23 yar old allrounder Hamilton (exc/mast bat, mast/mir bowl) an up and comer. Other two bowlers are both exquisite, and am training up the fifth bowler aws. Tedstone at qual/prof trying not to concede more than 60 a game in the meantime. Definitely better in the bowling though, my batting line up's still a little below par, with Terry (sens/mast), Burger (sens/sens) and Maguire (exc/exc) shouldering most of the work.

Six trainees and not a single pop.

Also rolled in my first Div 4 OD. I don't think I'll win a game this season. Trying to buy a couple of really decent cricketers, but I'm never online at auction end and have been outbidded inside the final minute. Four times it has happened this week, frustrating. I'm going to end up overpaying for someone.

Hi guys I'm new and this is just my first season. About a week after I joined, I received £400k from the bot playing the previous season.

Just a quick question, are new players are only allowed to join at the start of a new season? And if so, this £400k isn't really a bonus is it?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Started off with 2 close losses in Div IV (around 20 runs in both), but I'm not sure I have the team to actually compete and stay up. Guess we'll see as the season progresses. Am probably a bowler or two short I think.

Only pop for today. Verma has added very little to my team thus far, starting to get to the level that puts him into my best 3 or 4 batsman. Needs to step up, my team is copping some beatings this season.

A player originally from my YA (Clarke Mitchley) has made the Zimbabwe U19 squad. He looked a pretty solid player when I sold him. These little moments make Battrick very enjoyable.

[Jarquis]

Not a bad side then

 

[Son Of Coco]

Lost to the team below me in OD...looks like I might be heading back down again this season unless I can grab a couple of wins at the back end of the season...it's an awkward spot to be in as Div V is way too easy.

 

[Robertinho]

I see you had a big win yesterday kurt! Nicely done, 2nd in Div 1. You are getting some incredible ratings too, do you GFI every game?

I had a few pops as well - no primaries, but very important ones:

Dilawar Salhan - 24 yo, BT Rating=148,069, Wage=£78,751
A steady RH batsman and a steady RFM bowler. He has respectable leadership skills and elite experience. He has no preference and no trait.

He currently has feeble batting form, respectable bowling form and fair fitness.

Stamina: superb Wicket Keeping: feeble
Batting: quality Concentration: exceptional

Farhan Jahanzeb - 21 yo, BT Rating=71,528, Wage=£30,903
An attacking RH batsman and an attacking RFM bowler. He has proficient leadership skills and competent experience. He has no preference and no trait.
He currently has superb batting form, superb bowling form and invigorated fitness.

Stamina: superb Wicket Keeping: exceptional
Batting: wonderful Concentration: quality
Bowling: worthless Consistency: competent
Fielding: worthless

Allott and Salhan are going to dominate once their training finishes and they can maintain decent PFL. I'm going to get Salhan to exc bat/mir bowl and Allott to wond bat/mast bowl. Jahanzeb is a work in progress but with another couple of conc pops he is going to start showing his worth.

Currently #1 in my BT20 after three wins, I'm actually going to try and win it this season. FC is a write-off, I'm just hoping to stay up, but I really want to load up for a crack at winning my OD league. With a few players not far from finishing training and having good PFL, I wouldn't mind having a crack at Div 2.
