Yes and I don't really care. My team is below average in OD, so what? If you want to keep trying to wind me up then I will have to remind you that I refused your offer of trade with T Petal purely on the grounds that I could not stand to see him play for you...aditya said:I like to rotate my batsman in all positions as all of them are good.In last od match he batted at 3.And many are much better bat than Troughton.Trough in an od allrounder so he balances the side very much.U can see i am playing only 2 fulltime bowlers with J Moss,Troug and A Jones and still sides get out cheaply against me.And btw i dont have a team like u where there is no one to play in od and all are below avg.:P :P :P
My team is only good in 4D, and I have a very strong 4D team. The players you offered me did not fit in with my plans, and I already had 11 good players and I couldn't see your players adding anything to my team, in fact, by taking Petal I would have weakened it. Not only was your offer not what I was looking for, but also I could not bare to see him play for youaditya said:Being so rigid in trading is not good for the team.I know T Petal is a good player and it is difficult to see him play for any other team but by selling him u could have got 3 to 4 very good players.So this would be good for ur team.Cricket is a team game not a one man show.I am not saying this because u rejected my offer but just how to trade and make a avg side better.There were many who were interested in T petal so u would have got the best offer.3 good players instead of 1 is much better for the team.But after all it was ur decision and wht u thought was right u did.
There were many othrs who were offering u good players and that was my 1st offer.If u showed any interest then i would have increased it.I am telling in general and not just my offer.Rik said:My team is only good in 4D, and I have a very strong 4D team.

What about if I already have a pretty damn good team and the loss of a really really really good player would mean I would have to release 2 of your players...then your offer starts to look less attractive. I may be a newbie but I know what I'm doing.aditya said:There were many othrs who were offering u good players and that was my 1st offer.If u showed any interest then i would have increased it.I am telling in general and not just my offer.
Why do you keep telling me I've weakened my squad? I don't care! Trading Petal would have upset my entire game plan. Please leave it will you, I made the decision to keep him as he fits in with my tactics. All you keep saying is how I've only got an average side, well somehow I doubt that, aside from another good pace bowler my side is one of the strongest in Div 5, and just because I'm in Div 5 does not mean I'm automatically weak, it means I'm a new team. Stop moaning about how you feel I'm weak and go off and dodgily deal someone else who cares.aditya said:Here is an eg
Mumbai traded V Kambi,MJ Sigera,A Morris and S McGill to Hamp for S Graham and 3 others.So hamp got 4 top players for 1.Mumbai team is very strong to it can afford to trade like this.Somewhat like this u could have demanded for T Petal from anyone who was interested in him.Now u will say that the players Mumbai traded are avg.Thay have not played much for mumbai this season as there are more better player than them in Mumbai.But for any other team these players are quite valuable.U can have a look at the stats and then u will realize that this is a great trade for Hamp.
I am not at all upset abt not having T Petal with me.I just found him good so i went for him but just once.I was not after him badly.
