He is fairly near remarkable bowling too, this makes him pretty near to being my worst bowler, but I would have still hoped for *slightly* better from him!!

Well I am 99-4 and doing rubbish. Only my opening batsman seems to know what he is doing everyone else seems to belt a 6, a 4 and a catch at the moment...

Can you win anything in the BT20 thing? It just turned up, I didn't join anything...

It's pap. I just stick the same team out and TIE every match except the last one. More an experiment in PFL than anything.

Well me losing 5 wickets in 8 balls hasn't made my chances of winning any more rosey...

How long is it before a team becomes half decent if I stick with training the same players?

about 3 seasons of doing the same nets was enough to get me into III, having started in IV. Selling a couple of the players that got me there put me back into IV though.

You just wanna brag about how good your bowlers are lol

Mine are the opposite! They couldn't get people out if they were the gay-finder general.

I hate you..18 yr old near remarkable is near to your worst bowler...bloody pity for you ;)

Well, he won't remain my worst bowler at least!

I have a bit of cash right now, waiting on new season i think. I only have four proper batsman right now, and 4 bowlers. Was hoping to get a good spinner to replace my old one (who makes up the 5 bowlers btw).

So i was going to see what cash i can get if i get good youth and see what youth i can get to train either a batter or a bowler, but i am training a couple of bowlers right now on multi nets so it may be nice to train a batter and buy a good spinner (who could have a net on him i guess ;) )

When do the players age? I'm bored of this lot and want a new 17yo bowler. A spinner would be sweet.

hello battrick fans how does everyone look in their match's today.
