[Rich2001]

Stop giving me spinners!!!!!!!!

That's 5 I have now, oh well at least this one can actually bowl......

 

[marc71178]

My Rookie is no dud. He will surely be a star of the future. He has a 4 day avg. of 58.

Likewise I welcome J Wilkes onto the Surrey staff - he looks a very capable player to me!

Even better player - probably the best rookie bowler drafted and he's coming to Surrey!

 

[Rich2001]

Well the Kent lads would like to welcome T Hawkins to the club. He looks to have some great talent and a strong possiblity that he will be staying with the club ready for next season.

However what ever the name of the other guy is won't be, a pile of pants with a cherry on top !!!!! he may speak to other clubs whenever he wants.

Lol they cant create much havoc if they are only playing friendlies...

they wont be let loose from more than some friendlies so its all good ...

LOL.....and the bad thing is that they are rookies so they prob wont play as good as their stats say

 

[lord_of_darkness]

and the fact that they are of multiple uses ,

1) Use Rookies to kick soccer balls at when you feel lonely

2) Use Rookies as punching dummies when you want to relieve stress after losing to a team like S.A or Mumbai

3) Use Rookies to attract women if the rookies are good looking but not with names like Ben Dover, we arent going to get anywhere..

4) Use Rookies to carry beer

5) Use Rookies to cook food , clean dishes , lick shoes clean , what ever slavery job you need to do..

6) Rookies to fan you when u are hot in a game when playing in Wankhede Stadium ( Mumbai , India ) and to serve the team and you water...


My conclusion rookies arent that bad..... They are Sh*T

I guess it's the luck of the draw but gee the Leicester manager got 2 shockers. The winners seem to be Lancashire, New South Wales, Surrey (big time), Warwickshire and Colts.

I got one good and one bad so I can't complain.

Maybe another draft might have improved things.

 

[deckard]

I dont know y some ppl are so pissed off or in some casees happy cos u really dont know how they will play cos vc edits the stats and stuff

 

[Graham]

It wouldn't alter them by a huge amount though, surely!

Until next year that is...

I'm more than happy by my pair!

How do you mean another draft - these are players trained up by the youth team staff for each club.

 

[Simon]

my new players can f*ck off, they wont be welcomed into the squad, my current players will treat them as outcasts. They dont deserve a spot in my all mighty team.

I think he was talking about a rookies draft kinda like the AFL

I dont know about that...it looks like some of the guys have been pulled off the street.....or the staff were constantly drunk

I guess a draft system would be more fair but its a bit late for that......plus i think that the simulator might have to be changed.....cos some of these players are pretty bad and these players are meant to be like the best players from the youth squads or whatever.....

Ive used VC before so i know that the stats are altered and i think for inexperienced players that stats are altered more than usual.....plus also remember that keeping rookies will be a risk cos their stats will go down heaps at the end of the season if they dont perform cos they are inexperienced and stuff
