I do... Skippos goes for wrist spinners because they sell for more. I'm more after the best of whatever to fill my side and sell any leftovers.
Gots 2.7mil in the bank. Not sure how to spend it though. Either a bunch of cheaper young guys to develop into a strong team in 2 or 3 seasons, or just bolster my team with 2 or 3 big signings. My team isn't old as it is and rates about 160k-ish on average, so I reckon option 2 would be better for me for the next couple of seasons and get me out of Div.3.
Versing bottom of the table today in T20... Need the win, not confident though as im experimenting with my lineup http://www.fromthepavilion.org/commentary.htm?gameId=3181666
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/commentary.htm?gameId=3181666 Interesting chase from the boys so far, considering they're both on neutral im doing alright! If it stays at this pace it'll be interesting come the 18th over. A. Jhunjhunwala (rm) 3-0-28-0, R. Asghar 66 (37b), S. Vajpai 50 (23b) End of over 10 (11 runs) - The Mighty Pies XI(117-0). 66 runs required from 10 overs. RR 11.70 RRR 6.60
I wish I could say the same... my little 5 wicket collapse cost me the game... even after scoring 23 in one over!
My 20 yos lost on the last ball today to just miss out on their first victory of the season.
