Good news this, as the latter two should pop again before the season's out. Form drops are a worry before the first game, but hopefully my opponents have suffered too.

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Loz, did you get yourself a W/K trainee, as Mrs BB's Yp this week was Comp Stamina, Medicore Bat/ Conc / WK.

Could also fit in for ORM...

 

[The General]

Raven pops to superb cons ... nice timing :)

 

[MrB]

All pops on schedule. Saj finishes his bowling training, a few weeks batting to go then he's finished entirely. Decided to keep training Mushie to wonderful on that basis that he's been pretty rubbish at quality so clearly needs more than just remarkable under his belt. Cunningham looks just peachy at the moment. Must train his stamina at some point though!

[Grayson]

I'd take Saj onto one more bowling level if I were you, Mr.B, as he's one you'll want to keep for a good while I'd imagine.

 

[MrB]

I would do but my batting desperately needs to be addressed so nets are piling into Cunningham and Mcconnell instead. It's rather poor that having just turned 18, Cunningham is my joint 3rd best batsman!!

Ultimately Saj will be my 5th bowler and I would hope that Remarkable would be enough to sustain me in III and even II if I got there.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Remarkable 5th bowler, (BB shuffles away, quietly sobbing to himself) :cry:

 

[MrB]

I did say ultimately....

At the moment he's number 3 but Mushie will overtake him shortly and that leaves Botham who is only halfway to superb but eventually he'll be sold and replaced with a higher grade all rounder.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Quick question or 2

What do you think this guy is worth, up for 6m at the moment and has a bid

Also does anyone have a spare 4.5m to bid on Tselane

Jack Tselane (801956)

Plays For: BATTY SHRIMPERS

Fielding: respectable

He should go for about 5 to 5.5m so you wouldn't be stuck with him.....

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Bump

C'mon guys help me out here ;)

 

[MrB]

Would love to have the money to bid but I'm about £1m short. Couldn't tell you about the other guy, so long since I bought a player I'm a bit out of touch with values!

 

[Grayson]

I've only got £2million in the bank so cant, sorry. £6million is not bad considering it's £3million per primary, but at 26 how many seasons will you get? Whereas you could train up your own who, in 2-3 seasons, will be the same skill levels.

Depends on your nets situations, I guess. So, really, I haven't a clue if it's a good price :o

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

OK guys, not to worry. Thanks for trying though.

I've put him up for sale just to see if I get anything, and then if he doesn't reach a decent level, I'll buy him back.

I think if the other guy goes for 6m that's a pretty good price, you should get at least 4 seasons out of him, and by that time Schoeman, would have easily caught him up.

 

[MrB]

Gives me a good idea of what I can get for Botham when he hits superb bowling to go with his quality batting!

 

[blues_r_best]

Might as well train him through to remarkable

[loz]

if anyone pulls a half-decent fast/fast-medium bowler, i'd be interested.

 

[Grayson]

Gives me a good idea of what I can get for Botham when he hits superb bowling to go with his quality batting!

I'd say £4.5-6 million, as his bowling is worse than batting. Cant be sure, though - I doubt there are many players like that about.
