@ Maxkarter: That is what I was planning on doing

 

[Jaztheman]

On second thoughts I agree about Maxkarters choice of batsmen but I still think you would be better off with my choice of bowler.

 

[Highlander999]

How come?

 

[Jaztheman]

Instincs mainly and after doing full assessments on the players(well doing a few calculations)...

Also are they both pace bowlers?

 

[Maxkarter]

Are their form the same? Otherwise just play the one with the better form.

 

[Highlander999]

Both are in superb form and both are medium pace

 

[Highlander999]

Ok next question. Who is the better bowler? A prof/woeful or a Resp/Med

 

[FreddieFan]

I'd sooner have the Resp/Med, unless you're lokking to train, in which case I'd have the proficient.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

A Prof/Woeful is fine if you are planning to set him on Normal or Defensive. Otherwise the other one.

For the bestmen, I'd go with Comp/Med. Low concentration batsmen have a tendency of getting out early and generally score slower, so it isn't worth the risk.

Ok cheers guys

Just wondering.

I have a 20,000 capacity ground at the moment. I am almost filling out in OD (was last season) but because members and sponsors confidence is at over the moon I haven't filled out completely. My next match is a FC on the 8/7, then an OD on the 11/7 then an FC on the 15/7. All home games. The point I am trying to get at is, should I expand my ground?

 

[angryangy]

If you expect a positive season result, then you're definitely going to fill the ground before season's end. Trouble is how much ground space you need against how little time you have before the OD game. I'm guessing you have around 1100 members and you're not absolutely thrashing, but still getting lots more wins than losses. I think the most you can upgrade in 7 days is about 3750, which is a reasonable increase and should last a while. By looking at my past results, it seems like it was about 24 OD rounds between reaching 16k and reaching 24k, so my advice would be that this upgrade would probably take you through to the end of the season.

 

[Left_Hander]

I currently have 1406 members and I do expect a positive season result. (Possibly promoting in FC and top 2 in OD)

 

[angryangy]

You could probably stand to upgrade to 24-26k, but not in time for that next OD. In truth, if you do stand to get more than 20k at that game, it's probably not going to be so much more that it would justify upgrading twice when one operation would do.

 

[Left_Hander]

So upgrading in the near future isn't the way to go?
