Maybe interested in his seam capabilities rather than striking which looks good only in FC.

Just curious, how does the $250,000 budget work in regards to the team founders? Wouldn't those with 4 founders rather than 3 for example benefit at the requirement for 1 less player?

Congratulations team Landscape on placing a winning bid of $30000 on one of the 40 all rounders!

With all the other teams out, I'll take this opportunity to mention that the Hugging Muffins won't be bidding for Lameck Onyango - who I assume is up next.

Congratulations team Landscape on placing a winning bid of $30000 on one of the 40 all rounders!

He's not just any old all-rounder though:

976 [email protected] with an economy 2.89 in FC cricket stacks up against any bowler, the batting is just an added bonus!

You can't really praise him enough. It's not that he takes wickets but he also creates pressure for other people because he goes at under three an over. He's bowled beautifully this year and he's also got the pressure of captaincy so he's great to have in the side. He's worked very hard physically as well to make sure he's kept himself fit and strong to do a role of strike bowler in the side, so all credit to him: he's done a great job. ... He hasn't lost pace, he's got great control, and he moves the ball all the time.

Can Glen Chapple be officially added into the Landscape Squad? @VC the slogger

 

[VC the slogger]

With all the other teams out of contention for bidding, Glen Chapple has been sold to Landscape for $30,000 - an amount three times his base price. The bidding can start on Lameck Onyango, the Kenyan former specialist No 11 who has developed into a useful seam bowling option over time.

Star Player #3 - Lameck Onyango ($10,000)

​

Full name: Lameck Onyango Ngoche
DOB: September 22, 1973 (Age 41)
Country: Kenya
Role: Seam bowler
Batting style: Right-hand bat
Bowling style: Right-arm medium
Playing status: Last put on a Kenyan shirt in the 2015 World Cup Qualifiers at the age of 40. Hasn't played a match since.

Short bio

"Perhaps the only man in cricket with more siblings than Ed Joyce, Lameck Onyango's medium-pace has gradually improved with age. That may not be saying overly much, but he did take four for 29 against Hong Kong last year. Might be worth a punt." - The Author​

Lameck Onyango, the Kenyan former specialist No 11

What the hell is a specialist number 11? Is it another term for a bunny?
