    Tuckett

    Sold Tuckett, my leading old bowler for 500,000k to a III side, to focus on my trainees. He was rubbish recently, so money's useful. Now got 4 decent bowlers to use, all of which using bowling nets. 11. Mark Van niekerk - 19 yo, BT Rating=18,995 RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting...

    NZ v Eng, 20:20

    Comfortable win for England. KP looked a class apart. My MoM McCullum for inserting England on a good pitch. The ball was darting about in the second innings under lights, with Sideshow in particular bowling well. Mascarenhas will probably get the plaudits for slogging Jeetan Patel for 4...

    BT

    Hi guys have finally got round to playing this game and have just been reading the guides about 5 times. From what i can gather my entire team is gash and i'll need to get in some youngsters to train. Is there anyone worth selling out of these or shall i just put up with them for now? Any other...

    Garry Richards

    Yet another player who couldn't break into the Tilson clique. He has left at a time when what the squad needs is some big powerful players who can get at the opposition (something that was lacking against Barnsley). Everytime team that comes to Roots Hall seem to have more bigger players than...
  6. cockles is back

    problems up front/at the back............

    Listen lets cut the crap, there are massive problems throughout the structure of the team. Yes you can blame it on the forward line, yes you can pull the defence up, but lets be honest I can't remember seeing a southend team with so little ability to create,change,adapt,to read a game, as i am...

    Battrick - OD Match 12

    Unusual for me to start a thread off but I have a rare chance of an FC victory tomorrow - sixth plays seventh (me) and it'll give me something to look at on the phone during the next three days. Playing away on a hard and fast pitch so one of my trainee spinners is being used. Shouldn't really...

    First test v Sri Lanka at Kandy

    I hear Agnew reckons there will be a fair bit in it for Harmison or Anderson, based on the nets. Having been out to the middle this lunchtime I'm not so sure. Whilst the square is nice and green and the nets had a green tinge, the pitch they are going to use doesn't. I haven't been able to do...

  14. Battrick - Match 10

    Highland Storm v BATTY SHRIMPERS We can tell you that Highland Storm won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this sunny day. Des and Keith get a rest today, got about 3 at Energetic, everyone else at...

    England in Sri Lanka

    First warm-up game today in Colombo. England have actually beaten their hosts to Sri Lanka, which is promising. They've also managed to beat me out there, as my flight isn't until Saturday. Sri Lanka were last night falling to a 2-0 defeat in convict land. Needing a world record 507 to win on...

    Bit prompt i know but hey ho! I face the MCC XI at home and will be looking to bowl first, skittle them out cheapily and get the runs quick. Decided i wont TIE as i just want it over asap! They have some decent players, but are severly lacking in fitness! Maqsood Edworthy - 22 yo, BT...
