BROADY CC
This will be another story by me about my battrick team Broady and their progress in Battrick. they are currently in league V.86 following promotion convncingly last year. We expect to just avoid relegation in the coming season however it should be a tough battle. Heres a run through of the squad

Shaun Blair,the Don Bradman of the team,he makes the runs when it matters,crucially for us every game matters! An average of 128.333333 against local rivals of Derbyshire Deasey Athletics shows how he can raise his game. Last year he averaged 111.63 in the league in 11 innings making 893 runs with 4 50's and 3 100's including a massive 167* Blair is a fan of huge hundereds with 3 scores of 160+ so far and 2 150+s V deasey athletics including a 174. without a doubt the star batsmen

Ben Cockerill,a great keeper who regurlarly takes over 5 catches and/or stumpings in a match. His batting is a let down with an average of 8 last year but following a few useful pops he's more than handy bating at 7.

New signing and responsible for my big debts,looks a very useful batsmen though who should make the competition for the team very interesting. Playing this sunday in the cup for us to make his debut and see whether hes a capable replacement for Sturgess who was dropped very harshly.

Bowling: woeful Consistency: woeful

An interesting batsmen who for a while was told to pinch hit but despite his aggressive batsmen it looks like his playing days at Broady are now over and he's purely a squad player who might get in the 2nds
Averaged 36 in the league last year from 288 runs.

Amazingly dropped after taking a 6fer but this boy looks like rotting in the reserves,he doesn't quite cut it despite an average of 13 with the ball and a 6fer in the league last year.

Another solid player who definately has a chance of making the team with his leadership and experience coming in handy as well as his reliable pace bowling. An average of 25 in his career with the ball but he's been heavily underplayed.

Comes in at number 5 and a very useful batsmen,certainly capable of making big runs this year after a solid start with the team. His defensive nature at number 5 could come in handy in preventing the classic battrick collapse. Career average of 48 with the bat in over 50 matches.

Mr consistency always does a job no matter what the situation,i'm always looking for an excuse to drop him and buy a better bowler but he never offers one.A batting average of 1.62 is embarassing and his career average of 34 isn't special but that came in a much tougher leageu than mine that i bought him from in Australia.

Classy batsman,widely regarded as the future of Broady and although he's never had much of a chance with the bat and has only had to finish in a Bevan type role he should enjoy batting at 4 as he's a quality young batsmen. Averages 141 from only 3 innings with 2 not outs.

A very good bowler but his recent lack of form could see him being the man dropped if a new bowling talent that Broady is scouting for comes in. Averages 26 with the ball,solid opening bowler.

Reasonable keeper,no-one wants to buy so i'll keep trying to sell him but for now he's just making up numbers/a back-up keeper.

Ok so when i update the main things I'll do is react to matches,look at the games,preview them and look at some of the rivalrys i've developed perhaps somedays just focusing on 1 player in particular.
so Cockerill will now float through the transfer market offerless again but at least this way i don't lose my keeper. I do however desperately need some money,i'll have to go for a YP
