BT Pops

No, but I'll hope to recoup that with extra cash from the Botham and Mcconnell sales.

Miscalculated my current scenario, if he bids again I'm screwed. Be ready with another £500k Toddy! :D

I'm at my limit now, If I hadn't mucked about with Bartlett I would have just about enough
 
Ok, no worries. All quiet at the moment, have had a couple of messages from higher echelon teams who were looking at him. Seems he's quite a coveted player!
 
Well, Cook is now my player. Not sure if I'll regret this in the long term but with no bowling or all rounder trainees to worry about i can really focus on bumping up my batting. My bowling line up now looks like this:

Hot Rod: Remarkable/Quality - LF defensive
Suthers: Sensational/Quality - RFM attacking
Cooky: Exceptional/Wonderful - LFM defensive
Mushy: Remarkable/Strong - RM attacking
Saj: Remarkable/Quality - RHS attacking

Almost exactly the variation between handedness and mentality I was looking for.

Now to decide what to do about Cunningham. I'm currently £7m in debt!

That's rather a handy bowling attack. You should be able to get consecutive promotions to the championship with that attack.

What is your wage bill like though?
 
Total wage bill is £120k per week at the moment which is more than manageable. Obviously Suthers will start to rocket at the end of the season as he approaches Exquisite.

What's your batting like?

God, my second best bowler will be the same skill as Mushy and the best a bit better than Saj/Rod when they pop.
 
49.5k here, but that will change a bit as my all-rounder training starts to kick in. Potentially another 20 - 30k
 
If I keep Cunningham I'll have one remarkable, two quality, a superb, a strong and a proficient. Yes, work to be done!

That should be enough as it is exactly the batting I had last season!

How are your nets going to be split now?
 
I'm sure your secondaries were much higher though!

I have 5 stamina nets running at the moment so that will continue, other than that it will be 2 bat and 1 field on Cunningham and 1 bowl & 1 field on Suthers. Once stamina is up I'll grab another mid range batting trainee and work on him.
 
Hmmmm my wages are about £55k at the moment! Nearly back upto my 1.8 million mark and making that £80,000 interest per week with my 8 F.A's!
 
I got a warning from the GM's for mentioning the SZ Alliance on the sledging boards. A bit rich considering there's an open thread asking about Alliances elsewhere where people are talking about theirs!!
