Battrick thread, Part IV

[johno]

not bad... if u've got 2 or 3 decent trainees sell him because training him would really only make sense if he's gonna have multiple coaches... to raise up stamina, conc. and bowling... batting would be nice too of course.. to make him into a semi-allrounder.

I wouldn't waste slots on making him into an all-rounder. Just train him for stamina and bowling, and you'll have one hell of a player.

What will you do with him, Helg?

My guy is up to about 153k with about a day to go on his sale.

very very nice pull... if he was 17 I'd have said he'd be NT caliber given training in batting, fielding, stamina and bowling. Very evenly balanced.

Here's mine:

I put this guy up for sale and he already has a $350K bid on him :))

[kopiteinkc]

Looks like I am gonna lose my cup match :(

[kopiteinkc]

Lost by 6 wickets with 5 overs left :(

Incredible ratings for both of us though, I played GFI

KC Googlies Guernsey XI
Top Order: superb strong
Middle Order: respectable competent
Lower Order: worthless woeful
Seam Bowling: proficient competent
Spin Bowling: quality superb
Fielding: competent feeble

[johno]

We're killing them.

I shouldn't have GFI but I thought they would and a Normal might not have been enough. Oh well.

I set them 323/1

they are 64/4 after 12 overs.

[Craig P]

I put up a ridiculous target of 393-4, Sulieman Seargeant getting 179 I think, but my bowlers are doing their best to make an interesting match of it, conceding a run rate of 6.19 through 16 overs. That's not enough, but it'll make things more interesting than I'd prefer.

[johno]

Goodness me! The batsmen have collided while taking the single, what a simple run out for the feilding side.

a dive to the left with hand outstretched sees a superb catch from Owens in the slips.

Oh that's magnificent! Cat-like reactions from first slip to take that catch. They'll be replaying that one a few times in the studio.

Yes, got him! Shove that up your arse Tony Grieg. Simply marvellous effort! What a hero! Knocked the middle stump clean out of the ground!

commentator is havin fun!

[johno]

So my opponent DID GFI...

Reporter's Summary
winningconnection Badlands
Top Order: superb respectable
Middle Order: proficient competent
Lower Order: woeful woeful
Seam Bowling: proficient respectable
Spin Bowling: strong competent
Fielding: competent feeble

[Craig P]

Norse with remarkable top-order batting and superb seam bowling. As I think I had anticipated last week, my opponent had better spin than seam bowling, which probably hurt them on the cracked pitch.

[Craig P]

winningconnection got a 280 run partnership out of the openers en route to a 192-run win. Superb top-order batting, proficient seam bowling, and strong spin bowling for the winning side.

I'm not sure if there's anybody else I'm looking for in the Windies?

[johno]

the bad news is maybe I shouldn't have GFI... the good news is, I've got a TIE coming up and if I GFI again in the cup I'll have another TIE after that one...

At this stage I'm not sure what to do though, as I've got after that match a make or break game against the series leaders... perhaps going for it in the cup isn't wise... well I'll have to see who I'm drawn with because getting to the round of 8 would be HUGE. Of course, in the long run, promoting would be better for the team.

[quentinc]

I got owned playing the defending champs on TIE. It took him 14 overs to meet my massive target of 82 runs, and he had a quality top order rating.
