Not rising to that ;)

Only had one decent one in the last three seasons (Mcleod). Decided to sell Graham. I do want an all rounder but I'd hope to get an inflated price being week 1 + shouldn't be far from proficient in either discipline.

Will wait a couple of weeks then pick up a new trainee. Or maybe even pull another one next week :)

For info it was 12 bowl, 7 bat, 7 cons, 4 conc, 5 stamina. So already had base skills in place, lovely.
 
Thought I was going to have the best YP on SZ, but reckoned with out B's usual luck. Going to put him up for sale, should get a decent price.

There's a theory all English YP's are ***** and i have to agree. I pulled Sookram (who was very good) and he is a Windy!

Very nice BB. Should get millions for him!

I always work on the basis, that if I pull for a lesser nation, and get a decent one, then there'll be a fight to get him as he has more chance of becoming an international.

Probably my best ever Week 1 pull, would have been nice to have some additional stamina, but can't really complain.

He's one of only 4 Double Respectables on the market, and the only Indian, so should get a decent price.

Yuck. You made the (big mistake) of having nothing on stamina!! I'd say list him...
 
I have overbid for a medium paced all rounder closing in a couple of hours. I won't be raising any more. If that fails I'll be straight in at around 3 mill for Bs spinner though that will make 5 in the squad. My 19yo RFM resp/strong selling tonight is around 3.2 at present. Secondary pop is only a week or two away. Expecting a few more bids

I do hope someone else takes him. I picked up a resp/resp trainee for 1.5 this morning. Admittedly bowler only but I need the 2.5 I have bid on a Med first teamer

I cant afford 2.5m. Bid on a couple, but I keep losing out. Might have to wait till the market cools.
