    4 week hangover

    From AFP (it wasn't me before anybody says!!!) It may be the longest hangover in the history of binge beer drinking. When a 37-year old man walked into a hospital emergency room in Glasgow, Scotland last October complaining of "wavy" vision and a non-stop headache that had lasted four weeks...

    My team!

    Ok, Ok, i'll admit it, i have been a little bit coy about my team over the past season or so, so i thought i would come clean as i need some advice about what to do next! First up, my WK who is (well, will be!) handy with the stick in his hand! Craig Browne - 18 yo, BT Rating=26,455 Stamina...

    How should I improve my batting?

    You may or may not have noticed it but I need to improve my batting somewhat…. With the new season only a few weeks away, I need to start planning how I'm going to do it. As it stands I will be using 5 nets at the start of next season, 2 bat, 1 field & 1 stamina on Cunningham and a single...

    England v. India, 1st ODI

    Well, remarkable goings-on at the Rose Bowl. Remarkable, in that England has been put into bat and has done rather bloomin' well. After 48.2 ov, we're 271/2. Cook has hit his maiden ODI ton (eventually bowled for 102 by Singh), Bell has hit his maiden ODI ton (currently 113* off 111), and KP...

    BT Pops

    Saj popped a week early, his training is now complete. Suthers will continue. A couple of skill trade pops as well, though I doubt I'll make too much on them due to low stamina. Now hitting stamina again, 5 nets cleared to get everyone up a level by the end of the season. Adeem Sajjad - 21...
  9. Battrick - Week 10 pops

    A very good week for me, as I thought Middleton had only just popped in Batting when I bought him, so I have now had both primary pops within 8 weeks :p Delroy Middleton (440539) RH Batsman, RM Bowler, strong batting form, strong bowling form, invigorated A destructive player with feeble...

  12. Battrick - Week 8 pops

    2 for me today, glad about Middleton's as it now means I can swap his Stamina net to a Batting net and try and get his Conc up, and then switch back to Stamina a bit later on. Phillip Evelyn (924822) RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime A cautious...

  16. Battrick - week 3 pops

    Had a real result today. I bought this all-rounder for 6,666,666 on Thursday. i now reckon I could sell him for 8.5m in 5 weeks, as he'll have another level of Stamina by then. Guy who sold him must have miscalculated his bowling !! Delroy Middleton (440539) RH Batsman, RM Bowler, strong...

    One to Start the Weekend (week 9)

    As Dave's on holiday I've been made caretaker manager of his "One to Start the Weekend" slot. First thing I thought when browsing YouTube for some classic tunage was "how on earth does he pick just one song each week?", so as the cat's away I'm going to spoil you with "Three to Start the...

    Believe

    Ok, I was gonna post some inspirational message but to be honest, I can't be bothered. I put this video together after the playoff final a couple of years back, and after watching it again, it's made me realise just what a remarkable job Tilly and the boys have done over the last few years. And...
