BT - OD Match 7

[Yorkshire Blue]

I can help out with £1.5m if needed but would have to be in the next half an hour!

How much do you reckon I'd get for

Jermaine Flynn - 30 yo, BT Rating=12,243
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, strong bowling form, sublime fitness.
A steady player with feeble leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: strong
Batting: competent Concentration: woeful
Bowling: worthless Consistency: abysmal
Fielding: woeful

 

[Grayson]

Someone's bid £2.65m on Thomas. I'm now on £9.75m, and need £10.2m.....

Now could be the time to list any proficient/proficients? Or that proficient you had earlier, get someone to put a million on him than buy him back later?

The WK probably wont get all that much, not sure though.

Good to see someone's bid a lot on Thomas.

To buy him back would cost you around 200-250k.

Have decided to list Canning

Bill Canning - 27 yo, BT Rating=7,467 [transfer listed]
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, feeble batting form, superb bowling form, energetic fitness.
A destructive player with feeble leadership skills and mediocre experience.
Stamina: woeful Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: proficient Concentration: respectable
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: worthless
Fielding: abysmal

Early bids appreciated.

He's my reserve batsman and so vital for saving fitness!

 

[MrB]

What bid do you need?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I need another £50k, I think.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Cheers B.

Now to hope that no-one bids in the next two hours!

Go to the pub everyone, its Friday night!

Reasonably comfortable 7 wicket win. Was worried at one stage when they were averaging 7 an over for the lost of 1 wkt. 120 -1 to 180 all out and 5 wickets for a trainee. All rounder bagged a couple cheaply and got his highest ever OD competitive knock. Finally the training for him is really kicking in. Need more conc pops but we will get there. Joint 3rd and next two games are bots guaranteeing 5th. Top 4 definitely achievable esp with current NRR

 

[Grayson]

You got him YB :)

The all-rounder I may try get, who Toddy has shameless bid for, may cause anger with the Aussies as I won't be training him heavily if I get him. Almost worth doing it just to spite them :D

Forgot to add

1) Record gate receipts of £123,850

2) First ever proficient rating for top order

Spin bowling is only competent - slightly puzzled by that with two decent trainees and another spinner when at home.

I'm GFI every game and I'll do the same with the bots to give as little away as possible.

I've GFI'd every game and my opponents are perplexed by my spin rating. It's quite funny really, but when they've got nothing else to compare against you would just presume that's the PAN rating.

That's precisely why I did it - helps when you are in a mickey mouse FC league playing mostly second string :D

I've now just got to hope he doesn't bankrupt me!

Cheers for your and MrB's help.

As my hero is Sir Beefy, anything which winds up the convicts has got to be a good thing.

Nice one, a great player to get. Are you planning to rebid on Canning or is that what I'm getting for my dough?

 

[Grayson]

Only 5 remarkable+ bowlers on the list now, it's crazy. I'm probably going to take the wonderful/strong 20 year old in a couple of days, but I'm not having him listed now as the lack of supply will make me pay a stupid price.

Canning is now going for £478,584 so you are off the hook. I'd like to think he'll raise a little more anyway.

Thomas is now £3m. Again, I'm hoping for more (I reckon about £4m).

By my calculations, I need to raise a further £17,828 to stave off bankruptcy so I hope they go for more!

That figure takes into account everything from interest, sales tax, next week's wages to projected gate receipts. Hopefully away games will raise more than the £7,000 I've budgeted for.

Unfortunately it took me two logs-in to get in today to check my training and it has chucked me out again. I'm now down to 3 log-ins.
