Wonder how many runs you'd get bating for three days. Reckon Walters can pass the thousand mark?

How much for this geezer guys? Just pulled from the youth team...

you should have saved your wossnames for the new season :)...

Is it worth continuing to train these players ? They each get 1 bat, 1 bowl, 1 fitness net. They will be 22, and both recently (last couple of weeks) popped to remarkable batting.

Is it worth eeking out another pop, as I don't intend to sell them, or should I just get their fitness up for the new season, and use them to try to win my FC league ?

arse! I got bored...

Yes, i'd train Riches for another season, to get secondaries up etc. Whack a fielding net on him quick.

I'd try and sell herbert, if you are going to keep him he needs pure secondaries so 1 bowl 1 bat 1 field quick.

Stamina can wait as that trains at the same speed regardless :P

What would you replace him with ? Would I be able to buy better at the price he sells ?

does it really ? crikey, what a red herring.

Regardless of age that is :)

You might not be able to buy better, the market is a funny old place. But you could buy in younger and train and wouldn't take long for them to be better. The secondaries reeeeeaally let him down.

Will that 20/20 shit appear again this coming season?

Fraid so.

set your weakest line-up, then you only have to play it once.

edit : oh, no, they changed it to a league system didn't they. Scrub that.
(edited)

Didn't they do some shitty league doohickey last time?

yes, hence my edit while you were writing that shit.

WHats got you in a strop? Still waiting for snow?

Not really in a strop, I was using the word in a laid back way, not a derogatory one.

And yes, we have no snow. What's the point of having a 3 year old to make a snowman with if there is no snow ? At this rate I'm going to have to book a skiing holiday. And I hate skiing, plays havoc with me knees and I can't turn. Or stop.

Looks like I'm fairly safe in my OD play-off.

End of Over 6: 10-3, runrate=1.67, reqrunrate=7.93 (358-2)
