Not good, just have to hope he's set a declaration otherwise there could be some really horrible bowling figures

[Grayson]

Forgot to change the declaration target, so we made 429-2. Luckily they're 88-3, hoping we don't bowl them out today as we're at home.

Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: abysmal Concentration: woeful
Bowling: wonderful Consistency: mediocre
Fielding: worthless

Current bid just under £5million, because it was a £1.3million increase from the last bid I presume this is the final offer from the current winning bidder. Worth paying £5million for or should I wait for a better deal? I've got my positions in my league tables sewn up so it wouldn't be a bad thing to wait.

 

[MrB]

Wonderful primary is probably worth more but the consistency is a killer, he'll never be a big innings maker at a high level. The only thing making me say yes is his destructive nature which could make him a good pinch hitter or lower order slogger.

 

[The General]

69 all out but Akram and Thompson should bowl the first 20 overs in the 2nd innings so we'll be fine here!

He's a bowler B :finger: 1 x bowling and fielding until his 23yo Primary pop will give you something like Exquisite / Remarkable. Depends where you are going to be playing for the next 2 seasons, if you're at IV next year he'll probably be OK. I wouldn't be a great fan of 3 spinners though, as it limits you when you play away.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

We have a wicket HOORAY !

He's a bowler B :finger:

Oh....yeah. In that case I wouldn't buy him!

We're looking safe for a third day now, great defensive bowling. Mushy thinks he's Suthers!

Last Wicket: Stewart c. Askew b. Mushtaq 0 (FOW: 13/3)

 

[Grayson]

I may wait then, I'd ideally get a remarkable/wonderful RF/RFM than a spinner. Reckon a remarkable/remarkable would be a similar price?

Next season we'll be in IV for FC and III for OD.

 

[Grayson]

Looking at the transfer list, I'll struggle to get much better for my money. Looks like I'll need to bide my time, got 8 or so weeks to get the necessary player though before next season.

 

[MrB]

Hmmm, will we see the third day? 7 overs for them to survive.

End of Over 32 (1 runs). Lenzie XI: 49-7, runrate=1.53 (1st Inn: 235-10)

2 overs to not get 5 wickets in. Worked out quite nicely today.

Think I'm going to go for the spinner tonight, as I've got 2 RFMs on a training programme already and in 2 seasons time, like BB said, the spinner will be a very good player. Only problem for a short while is having 3 spinners, but with Rennie likely to be remarkable/competent by the end of this season there should be enough flexibility. Will use the new player, if I buy him, for FC and home OD games next season. I've convinced myself into going for it now, hope it'll turn out to be the right decision!
