  3. Do you back Tilson to find good replacements?

    Simple answer for me - yes, I do. We lost Freddy and got Barney. Lost Juppy and got Francis. Lost Maher and got Bailey and Macca. Lost Spinner and got Clarke. Lost Hammell and got Mulgrew. Poll added please mods?

  4. Something doesn't feel right

    Maybe this is just me but there is something that is bothering me about this - Nicky Bailey, i can understand rejecting the new contract. He did a very simialr thing while at Barnet (even admitted "sulking") but Peter Clarke and Franny both seem good lads who wouldnt try and hold the club to...

    Advice needed

    I've got a bit of a weird team - my best player is my batsman (quality/strong), but my next best batsman is only prof/prof, who is also prof/prof in bowling. Both these are on nets as well. After that, only respectables (two of which are on bats nets) My best bowler is strong/strong on two...

    Test match review

    Ok, so a stunning win England albeit not an especially stunning performance but I have a few questions for the SZ cricket knowledge-base: 1.a. Why does every media agency seem to be giving all the plaudits to Strauss when Monty took 6 of a possible nine wickets in the 2nd NZ innings ripping...

    Is this week 18 or week 1 Either way just this for me Eddie Thelwell - 18 yo, BT Rating=9,520 RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, mediocre bowling form, energetic fitness. A destructive player with proficient leadership skills and abysmal experience. Stamina: competent...

  11. NEED HELP - Family & ticketing issues at RH

  12. Tin Bath

    Lots of ifs and buts, however

    it looks unlikely (depending on appeals) that we wont finish any worse than 5th. Now in the plays offs its 3rd vs 6th and 4th vs 5th as I understand it. I am quite glad we are not playing leeds as I dont fancy having to go to Elland Road and playing in front of 40,000 and an intimidating...

    BT - OD Match 10

    Thought I'd start this week. I am punching slightly above my weight in second at home to third today and a win would seal V status next season. As it is so tight any defeat needs to be close to maintain best NRR in the division. I only lost the away fixture by 8 runs and it is really down to...

  14. BT - Week 12 pops

    Another good week for me. Very happy about Lea's pops as he's only had 3 weeks training. Makes 8.9m look relatively cheap now. Phillip Evelyn - 21 yo, BT Rating=87,377 RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic fitness. A cautious player with feeble...

    BT- OD week 11

    Won't be able to check my game today as I'm off to Norwich for a job interview (:offtopic: , beats ones self)... am playing the team in 3rd, one place above me but who i beat by 30 runs earlier in the season. Their spin bowling is traditionally their weakness, so it's a dusty track for me and...

    Pops 3/3 (week 7)

    just the one this week, Harmless's bowling pop is taking longer than i'd predicted which is annoying. this one's a good one though- bought him for just over 50k 2 weeks back, he's popped in bowling and cons since then. will stop training now (though may get his stam to at least mediocre if i...

    week 5 FC

    got what should be a relatively easy game away to Rhobabians CC- weakish team with PFL problems. am hoping to bowl first, and am putting out a mixed team (resting the likes of Horsfield, J-Mac and Ahmed). also picked up a resp spinner yesterday for cover and hopeful skill-trading, his wage is...

    Indy IV

    http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=21976 So, the trailer is due this week. Has he still got it I wonder? My only fear is that they turn it into an elaborate excuse to extend the franchise by using that kid out of Transformers in a spin-off. If it's as good as 1 or 3, I'll be made...
