Piked out on a player I was bidding. Price went up to 91k but didn't want to take it further.
 
Yay. My another youth player getting bid.. Although it is at 20K at the moment. He's 16, lets hope he can fetch me some money like Manooj did :p
 
Having a terrible time in 20/20 this season, only have 4 points from 8 matches. Probably capable of the highest match ratings in the league, so that is a nightmare start. 7th in the league and playing 6th. Simply a must win and I look like setting a decent target.

End of over 15 (8 runs) - Tom Jones Enthusiasts(120-2) RR 8.00
S. Evans 48 (38b) , C. Waldron 14 (10b) , L. Alderman 4-0-34-1

With two solid batsmen, including the elite experience w/l left I should set 165+. A solid seam line up on a green but my star M is struggling for fitness. Could do with an emphatic win to boost NRR too.

I might be moving to scotland though so not too sure if league position will count for much.
 
Bowled out the second placed team in our group for 68,Tossol getting a hattrick and chased it down in 4.4 overs with the loss of a wicket.
Having a good T20 campaign.
 
won by 37 runs. nrr now ahead of 6th, but 4 points behind, top of the league next week too, but I can win.
 
Doing pretty well in my youth match, restricted them to 182 thanks to my RF and LF youth pulls and my mean youth all-rounder, and am 44/0 after 8.3 overs chasing :)
 
Won by 7 wickets, thanks to half centuries by both my openers and my number 3. For the first time my youth team's match rating is above 60k :)

And Lindeman still hasn't gotten out yet, after 4 innings and 270 runs. I probably shouldn't bat him down at 5 though. Do players get more experience by time in the middle or is the same amount just for being in the side?
 
The rules just say experience is gained by playing matches. Doesn't say anything about having to spend time in the middle to gain exp. Just as long as their in the team. That's my take on it anyway.
 
They're currently 75/5 chasing down 146.

Baldry 1/14 (4)
Reshma 2/19 (4)
Murubi 1/18 (4)
Habeebullaah 0/14 (6)
Whiteman 1/5 (2)

Their current RR is 3.95, RRR is 3.4.

Another important wicket getting rid of the set batsman. Now on track to win this match.

21.5 W Habeebullaah to Beattie : Flat delivery on the middle off stump line. Beattie comes down the track, looking to drive it away through cover. The ball clips the edge and flies low towards Murubi at first slip and he takes it diving across to his right.
K. Beattie c A. Murubi b. A. Habeebullaah 36 (52b 5x4 0x6) SR:69.23


End of over 22 (5 runs) - Salcette Sharks(92-6). 55 runs required from 18 overs. RR 4.18 RRR 3.06
I. Jirongo 0 (1b) , C. Pollard 3 (9b) , A. Habeebullaah 7-0-15-1

Last over by Whiteman conceded 2 runs so they're 94/6 from 23 overs. Whiteman has 1/15 from 4.
 
Damn it. Lost by 3 wickets. Should have really won that.

Now, if anybody wants my senior players, quote a price your willing to pay and I'll think about it.

The only exceptions are Aidan O'Leary, Murray Oldroyd and Graham Phillips. For players that have not been in the squad 100 days, Pettinger, Watkin, Kentwell and James, I'd rather wait until they have been in teh squad 100 days, or at least until the start of the new season otherwise you'll have to pay me whatever I need to make up for the loss of the percentage of the transfer.
 
I would be interested in them but I don't have enough money at the moment :p So maybe if I get enough in prizemoney I'd consider buying them...
 
Iridium XI 261 for 6 (Cleary 99, Jeffreys 51) beat RAJNIKANTH 221 for 8 (Douglas 90, Smith 3-25) by 40 runs

Scorecard

Best performance by my youth team this season. Bit of a shaky start on the way to 107/4 but a 144 run partnership between Cleary and Jeffreys set us upnicely, Cleary unlucky to be dismissed on 99.

Bowlers did well. Wickets were taken regularly and the run rate was never allowed to ballon out of control. The captain, Smith, was the standout bowler taking out the top 3 for figures of 3/25.

This win takes me to 1st equal on points and 2nd on NRR. To top this league, I would have to beat Raucby Blues when we play next and not incur any other losses. Shouldn't be too hard....
 
I have less than that :p And he'd probably sell for more anyway.
 
I'm in the market for another spinner so Ali and Fiebig stand out for me. Might have to wait and see how I go with the players I've bid on at the moment. Again may have to wait till I get some prize money before I make a serious offer, if you can wait that long.
