**Official Trade Discussion Thread**

[Slats4ever]

That's right folks... there is starting to become more talk of trades amongst managers on MSN... So to keep a good central place for a lot of talks to go on, the board are opening up this trade discussion thread. A note to new managers, no trades will be confirmed in here, so if you lock up a trade you'll have to wait until the board decides to open trades.

So let's get talking and firing the trade machine up...

[Slats4ever]

Western Province this season are looking to be quite active once again in the trade market. Slats4ever has hinted at his desire to strengthen the OD side up a bit, whilst maybe weakening the 4 day one.

Overally he is happy with all of his players on another fine year at this stage, however he feels that some players might perform well at the club.

All players are available for opposition club negotiations, but of special interest are

T Samaraweera: 4 day Batting AVG 43 4 day bowl sr of 46
J Schofield: 4 day batting avg 30 OD Batting avg 36 4 day bowling sr 44 OD bowling sr 50 (avg 16 with the ball in 4 day this year)
B Matthie: 4 day bowling sr: 44 4 day bowling er 2.6 (avg under 20) (this year he's avged 19 with the ball.
F Rickman: 4 day batting avg 45 OD batting avg 41
O Wessells: 4 day batting avg 45 OD batting avg 44
U Gul: 4 day sr 39 OD sr 38

All the other players are available.. just approach me, but they're either too bad to put here or are going to need quite an offer to get them away from me.

Look forward to talking to you all.

Oh yeah ps. I particularly am interested in a fine batsman or all rounder.
