i think he did it in photoshop

 

[Adarsh]

Actually he didn't. There is indeed a team with that name in Battrick.

 

[Maxkarter]

That team is in the same league as me actually.

 

[Bilal91]

No, i didn't photoshop it...you can search for it if you want...

 

[hassan]

are they any good and are they controlled by a PC member

 

[The Spin]

I think they are bots TBH, if somebody signs up in South Africa then we may get that team!

Yay! An actual pop for once! Last one I remember was about a month or 2 ago.

Carl Milner - 19 yo, BT Rating=4,171
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, proficient batting form, woeful bowling form, energetic
A steady player with strong leadership skills and worthless experience.
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: respectable
Batting: woeful Concentration: feeble
Bowling: woeful Consistency: woeful
Fielding: feeble

This is my respectable wk (as you can see ). I'm tryna improve his batting, and this week I succeeded.
I ditched this player for a while recently, but am now comtemplating including him in the team. I played him in the cup match on Sunday (which I TIE against a big III team) and he did pretty well, even managing to take a stumping against a medium pace bowler. He also got the joint highest individual batting score in that game (of 5 )

lol Joint highest score of 5

I was TIE after two tiring GFIs in a row... against a III team with a player who used to be U19!

TBH, you'd be better off training that keeper as a bowler...

I've had a pop too, Tuckett with the long-awaited bowling pop.

Why? I would have thought training a wickie as a bowler would be a bit of a waste, but there is obviously some good reason for it. To improve his secondaries?
If its just to make him a bowler, its not really very liable - hes pretty much the only decent keeper I got.
Of course, I could buy another on the transfer market...

I was being sarcastic, and trying to point out that training his batting is useless...

You forget mate, I'm in a crap V league (which I'm currently 7th in due to 2 close losses :laugh ). Thanks, all the encouragement I needed.

Round 5 of the cup awaits! I won by 1 wicket! Amazing stuff chasing 300+ for victory against a II.2 team!

Hakim Iftikhar did the business 71 from 63 and we won with 4 balls remaining!

Next up, a County Championship side! and a meeting with former England coach defusion!

Also just something i noticed now, but does anyone notice anything about the below screenshot!? (considering that I was playing at home)

You overshot your standing and Uncovered/Sitting seats. Were you planning a construction? May have been done by now, but there are reports floating about that Daily Updates weren't happening around BT, so it hasn't updated there, but has for the match...
