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

I pulled him Saturday - current bid at £3000. Not sure he's too high a competent, though. He got 2-26 in the cup game Sunday, against a side similar to your level I'd imagine.

B, you'll make a killing on him, that all rounder went for 7.7m

Loz, I pulled this guy, he's on the market, and I think he'll pop very quickly.

Bloody hell, that's expensive. Botham would get over 6 million then.

 

[MrB]

My worry is that I won't be able to replace him. There just aren't any all rounders on the market so those that do come on are going to be stupid money.

Wonder what Nick's 20yo would go for then? Superb stamina & fielding, quality batting, wonderful bowling!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Yes, you are looking at needing 7-8m to buy anyone decent now.

 

[blues_r_best]

How many nets is he on?

Double figures I reckon, but then again, how do you replace him ??

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Hopefully the wage increases will start to bite soon. Once teams stop making a profit even when they are playing away, we should see the rampant inflation slowed down.

The first class subsidy is fair enough, but its ridiculous that you can earn £80,000 a week interest.

 

[MrB]

How many nets is he on?

I think he's down to two now, one bat & one bowl. Popped to wonderful today.

 

[Bucks_blue]

3 secondaries for me but my 20yo Wk/Ba didn't pop in Ba as expected. So another week for him at least. Plus that means I have over estimated on Ruddy's (22) Batting pop which now won't be next week but the week after.

 

[Davros]

only one pop this week... however, i was more excited by my new allround YP i got on saturday...

got him on one bowl, one bat one stamina... how long till he pops in anything do you know??

 

[MrB]

Need his wage to be able to tell. Surely got to be worth a fielding net as well if you can as well benefit both cons.

I would say you should get the bowling pop after about 3 weeks but wait a bit longer for batting. No real way of telling for absolute definite though. 1 x bat, bowl, field & fitness would create a great little player though. Whilst the bowling secondary is equivalent enough to the primary, boosting the concentration will make up for his batting starting from such a low level.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I reckon he's 3 weeks bowling at max, even if batting is only a week away.

As B says, he has to have a fielding net as well.

Destructive FM, will do wonders on a Cracked pitch in about 2 seasons.

 

[Davros]

right, ive taken Cawood off bowling training, as he is 23 now, and prof/prof so hopefully will do, altho he is my only spinner, but is gonna take an age to get to strong.

Now i have 4 nets for James, hope he pops like a little engine...
