BT Pops

[MrB]

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.

Not a bad week again for me, O'connor now needs his Stamina worked on, as will be the case for all of my better players when they finish Skill training. Schoeman should pop in Bowling next week, and will also pop in Batting,Conc and Cons (again) befoe the end of the season. I freed up a couple of nets by selling Chirwa, and along with the sale of Mendis, I had enough to pay 7.5m for this guy, so this will mean we play 3 all-rounders so enabling us to bat down to 9.

[The General]

Think i have had 1 or 2, but will have to check my excel sheet!

 

[loz]

just the one bowling pop for me- am also considering rejigging the nets for more stamina, but won't make any changes until i find out whether i get a fast bowler/no.8 batsman i'm bidding for.

 

[Napster]

Two nice pops for me

[Grayson]

Nothing for me this week. I expect quite a few primary pops in the next few weeks though.

 

[blues_r_best]

None here either but a couple of primary pops should be soon for Drury and Boateng ending their training and considering selling Bartlett, how much do people think he'll go for?

1. Danny Bartlett (100646)

LH Batsman, LFM Bowler, superb batting form, proficient bowling form, sublime
A defensive player with mediocre leadership skills and respectable experience.

Plays For: Southend United
Nationality: England
Age: 23 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 117,309 (-2376)
Wages: £33,857 p/w

Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: feeble
Batting: remarkable Concentration: elite
Bowling: woeful Consistency: proficient
Fielding: competent

I'd be hoping for about £5.5 million at least and looking to replace him with a player B was looking at, Kieren Baxter and ask if his manager would be willing to list him at £6 million.

 

[MrB]

I reckon you'd get nearer £6.5m for him.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Possibly nearer 7.5m, as Tselane went for about 6.2m and he was only Remarkable / Proficient

 

[Phippsy]

Guys i need to ask what is possibly a stupid question....for about 6 weeks my bt ratings have steadily risen to quite a healthy state, but for some reason, 2 weeks in a row they have dropped.
During that time i won one and lost a game and havent changed training or intensity. Is it just tough or am i doing something wrong?
cheers

 

[MrB]

It will probably be related to form which is now fluctuating. Don't worry, it doesn't affect their skills.

 

[The General]

Fitness pop's for Browne and Guy. Would you say Prof stamina for a spinner with no batting ability at all is reasonable enough or continue to Strong and then leave him forever ( as he's 18 - and a half ;) )

Also a Conc pop for Browne which is lovely news. He is coming along nicely!

:)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I think with FC coming in, anyone that you can get to Superb is going to be a real bonus. As I said earlier, the minute my trainees stop Skill training they are going on to Stamina until they reach Superb.

 

[The General]

Well he is currently on 2 bowling nets and a fitness net so will probably train him till the end of next season and when he hits 20 he should be at least remarkable (probably wonderful)/superb with superb stamina.

:)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Then he should be pretty handy I would imagine :)

 

[blues_r_best]

Put Bartlett up for £4.5 million, any SZ'er want to buy him?

And as a replacement how about this guy is he worth the £4.5 million price tag?

Keith Tedstone (96168)

RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A cautious player with superb leadership skills and competent experience.

Plays For: DeeAreBees11
Nationality: Australia

Battrick Rating: 44,769

Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: superb Concentration: wonderful

[MrB]

Personally I think £4.5m for a superb bat, even with the concentration, is over priced - particularly with that stamina.

I would pay that for Bartlett though!

 

[blues_r_best]

I would love for him to go to another SZ'er

Even more if they paid £7mill+

 

[MrB]

So an SZ Cup legend has played his last game, look slike Titters is going to have to up his game to catch up with the all conquering Hudson on the runs front:

Batsman.....Team..................Runs..Average.Strike Rate
1 Hudson....Southend.............1743..102.53....100.64
2 Bartlett...Southend United....1612....94.82....102.41
3 Titterton..General Stars.......1477....86.88.....103.29
4 Maynard..Whos Your Daddy...1275...85.00.....103.41
5 Curtis......ShrimperZone CC...1230..111.82......99.76

Can't match Cold Rod's average though!

 

[The General]

Yes but does Hudson bowl!?

;)

Todd ... i really cant believe you are selling him mate. If i had the cash, i would definetly get him, especially as batting is my weak point. Hope this decision dont bite u on the ****!
