I have two batsmen on sale:

From the Pavilion - Free Online Cricket Management Game

If anyone wants them, they'd be good to have up the order

Placed a bet on him. I would be happy to have him in my team.

 

[hedger_14]

I have my U19 Sri Lankan International listed for 350K if anyone is willing to pay that much for him

Lol it is more than the total money I have.

 

[AkshayS]

I am taking on Akshay tomorrow. The last time he beat me by a big big margin but my team has improved heavily from that time. Big hopes from my team!

and mine has improved more than double, I guess I will win.

Sangster's not too bad but yea not worth 25k

Calver is worse than Sangster to be honest. His bowling/tech are lower and he's 27 so not much room for improvement. His talent does help though.

Put Sangster on fielding immediately though lol

 

[hedger_14]

I'd have to say that Calver isn't worth 3,000. You can get reliable players for $1,000.

 

[Chewie]

I'm batting first vs Hedger. Going to get so wasted

Phillips strikes early.

1.6 W Phillips to Emery : Emery prodded at a nothing ball and caught a thin edge towards the slip cordon. Fiebig takes what looks like a superb low catch to his right and the umpire's given it. Allan is livid at the other end and the replay confirms why - the ball didn't quite carry. Poor sportsmanship there from Fiebig.
D. Emery c J. Fiebig b. G. Phillips 1 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR:33.33

 

[Chewie]

Placed a bet on him. I would be happy to have him in my team.

His price is quite high at the moment. I wouldn't have said he's worth it but meh it's money

My other batsman is probably just as good - higher rating and better technique, endurance and power, but poorer batting.

tsk tsk your players don't have sportsmanship

Agrid South Africa won by 142 runs

Yea, didn't really stand much of a chance. My bowlers started well reducing them to 13/3. But a 119 from Qassem took them to 242. Garrick the best of my bowlers with 3/57.

As per usual my batting collapsed in one gigantic heap, getting down to 14/4 after 2.3 overs. Didn't take much more to blow away the rest of my team. All out for 100 .

Playing these PCL and FTP World Tour matches makes me realize how crap my team actually is. It's a steep learning curve I suppose.

tsk tsk your players don't have sportsmanship

Neither do mine :laugh :

Garrick to Steele : Steele prodded at a nothing ball and caught a thin edge towards the slip cordon. Kenobi takes what looks like a superb low catch to his right and the umpire's given it. Qassem is livid at the other end and the replay confirms why - the ball didn't quite carry. Poor sportsmanship there from Kenobi.
J. Steele c O. Kenobi b. P. Garrick 40 (51b 1x4 0x6) SR:78.43

But hey, who's going to argue with a Jedi on your team?

 

[Chewie]

Well Hedger has a NBA star on his team

Chewie added 7 Minutes and 35 Seconds later...

I was about to say I'm not doing too badly, then I refresh and I've lost my second wicket

 

[hedger_14]

And also a cricketing star. He popped to outstanding in endurance today. He's way better than any of your players.

 

[Chewie]

Well I.... used to have Ravi Jadeja?

I sold him a couple of weeks ago.

Chewie added 4 Minutes and 54 Seconds later...

oh god just lost two quick wickets. I'm going to be bundled out for not much here.

Kwistel turns back the game in our favour.

14.3 W Kwistel to Duranjaya : Oh! A peach of a delivery there from Kwistel. It arcs in gracefully and hits middle stump.
D. Duranjaya b. B. Kwistel 24 (35b 1x4 0x6) SR:68.57

18.4 W Kwistel to Punchihewa : [catch] Attempted paddle through midwicket but he gets a leading edge and the ball loops back to a grateful Kwistel.
C. Punchihewa c & b. B. Kwistel 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00

18.3 W Kwistel to Allan : A straight ball hits him in line, the finger is slowly raised.
J. Allan lbw b. B. Kwistel 41 (63b 3x4 0x6) SR:65.08

Kwistel 3/21 from 5.
