Here's a list of the best bowlers in the FFPL (Italics = Less than 8 Games)
No.1: Dennis Hemming - 20 Wickets, 2 3 Wicket Games, 1 5 Wicket Games. Team: Academy of Ireland and Aus
No.2: William Kimber - 18 Wickets, 1 3 Wicket Games, 1 5 Wicket Games. Team: Fletch's No Balls
No.3: Krishnamurthy Rudraraju - 18 Wickets, 2 3 Wicket Games, 1 5 Wicket Games. Team: Gunz n Rozez
No.4: Shaggy Chiba - 18 Wickets, 4 3 Wicket Games, 0 5 Wicket Games. Team: Roo Boys!
No.5: Dexter Morgan - 18 Wickets, 4 3 Wicket Games, 0 5 Wicket Games Team: Hello
Pretty sure Rudraraju plays for BOOMZ.
Nice stats Q. Nice to see Morgan up there. Tied 2nd place isn't that bad :P.
Hemming is a gun :o.
Yeah he does... Hemming is good but his ER is shower compared to Rudraraju :P
My mistake :)
Chiba has played 7 games? Huh I thought he would have played 8. Just warning Hemming though, Chiba popped in exp today and seems to love playing his namesake Shaggy so he should tear it up next week ;)
Just a warrning to Chiba - Hemming is awesome - The best bowler in the FFPL 8)
Mpph. FM isn't very rare. WS is.
Doesn't matter - Hemming has a Bowling Talent 8)
Chiba has a fielding talent which is still really really useful. Besides, Chiba has good batting.
Hemming can also bat 8)
How old is Chiba?
25. What is Hemming's bat summary?

No chance... Sorry to ghet my first win against you in an official league. :>
I'm 2-0 up in this best of five series so I can afford to lose on or two here ;)

Go check yourself I'm not on atm, plus Hemming is 23.
Hemming has dreadful batting hahaha. Poor batting summary ;D He cannot bat Q.
But he can bowl, which a bowler needs to do. I suggest you teach Chiba how to, as after all he is in your side as a bolwer.
And the guy who's #10 in the bowling is better than them both combined

Chiba- Outstanding summary bowl
Hemming- Expert summary bowl
And Chiba is in my team as a bowling all rounder.
Why R&B? Are you training him in Batting?
Hemming has better Fielding and Power (Which is valuable to a FM, and a 23 yo who isn't a 25 26 Yo yet), plus Hemming has the Old Ball Bolwer Talent, and the Opener talent, so If I need a night watchmen I have one ;D
I've been saying Hemming is a 24 yo this whole time, he's actually 23!
And, Chiba is only Out/Out at 25, Hemming is already that and he's 2 years younger!
I thought Menza was good Q? 0-62 against me... And a golden duck. By my WS who can bat a little bit... Dreadful.
You attacked him Shaggy. I noticed. :)

Yep, he's training in batting.
I guess that's your only choice, as he isn't an amazing bowler.

Do you realise how much slower skills train once they reach outs?
Also if you want a freak take a look at Shagmeister, or Junior, who both pwn Hemming.

I didn't attack him anymore than I attacked the rest of your bowlers. Like I said... He isn't any good. He can't get wickets often against stronger team batting line ups. And against good bowling, he is useless.
Meh :) I've moved on...
haha coz he's crap and u have no argument :P
incorrect :P
Statistics don't lie! :D Haha. Good game though Q. You put up a challenge at least... Sorta. 171 run loss isn't as bad as 300 lol
All I ask is for those older teams to put up a fight when I'm at 175k Ratings and you are struggling to stay afloat.
Certainly wont get to 175k with Menza in your team haha.
I only have to replace 2-3 players at the end of the season. So I will stay where I am and go up for quite a while longer Q. How about you?

He's got a better bowling summary than Hemming.

Well Week by Week my team goes up without buying anyone :)
R&B, Chiba is 2 Years Older, plus Hemming is still Out/Out
Week by week so has my team.
Are you buying players? And mine is rapid 8) Plus, I'll keep improving rapidly for another 4-6 Seasons.
End of over 13 (2 runs) - Feeling Sheepish(121-0) RR 9.31
D. Daryapurkar 63 (42b) , D. Vincent 54 (37b) , G. Sreenivasa 2-1-7-0

I have bought and sold quite a few actually. Perhaps you should think about doing the same as players like Menza wont get you far at all.
Besides, define rapidly? You have gained about 10k ratings from when you started the season. I have gained nearly 30k. Who's progressing better?
I`ve gained 30k since last season too 8-6.

But how much money have you spent to do that. I've spent less than 40k and I've improved by 10k. Plus, I'm getting rid of Menza soon.
I've spent a fair bit, however they should be here for 3-4 seasons in most cases. Therefore we basically have a long time rating high. Plenty of time to fix the old guys with younger, better versions.
My guys are here for 5-8 Seasons, and at anytime I can let them go and make a mega profit.
Doubtful on the mega profit for them, as they aren't that good at all. You have 1 good player in Hemming and thats pretty much it.
Do you know how much I bought them for? And there's more than Hemming.
In your eyes, you think Menza is a gun. Therefore, I highly doubt that Q or you wouldn't be rating 120k. ;)
I already rate over 120k. And who else are you talking to? Menza is a gun overall, but skills wise he's handy.
Skillwise he is shower, and by far from a gun. I buy 19yo with the same skills as he has.

He's effective. He's a wrist spinner, which atm I need as I don't have one, plus he has a bowling talent. And in T20's, if he stays in he gives it a whack with his Outstanding Power.
Y'know, Q, there are ways to have a young team and get good ratings >> Look at me, ML, R&B (kinda), Fletch (I think) & others.
Our guys are there for 5-8 seasons as well - I only have 3 guys over 25.
R&B (used to :P Getting older all the time now) Have 4 over 25, was rating close to 150k with 2.
I've got none over 25 and only 1 who is 25.
Babb. :-*
Your team is older than mine Alex. It's still a young team, but it's older. Plus I have Butcher who is 27, and Wilkinson who plays 50% of games and will get sold after the WC, who is 26. There all my players over 25.
Yeah but my team is still young Q, they still improve quickly and they are freaking awesome :P
I bet if we played in 5-8 seasons, well I dunno but that would be awesome :O
Yours is young, but mines younger.
Quote from: Master Q on January 28, 2011, 11:57:05 PM
Yours is young, but mines younger.
And not very good if its rating 120k lol
It's much younger, and I'm about 125 atm Shaggy.
Yeah but in a season or two do you think they will be rating higher than my guys are now?
my team is young but crap compared to the rest of u guys...lol....average age of 22.25 which is already older then ML and his already better then me...lol
My teams average age is 23.9 years. I rate 150k. ;D
Barlow I'm guessing you don't have 23-25 yo players.
Average age >> 23.5
I rate 150k as well Barlow, but I didn't need 1 mil to get it :-X
My team's younger than yours, but you rate better. I'm pretty sure I started later though, but that doesn't mean that much when we've this is my 2nd season.
Average Age: 22.1 :)
Average age: 22.0625
After Hogan's Sale (he's 22): 22.067
My team's younger and I rate 135-140k.
Wait are we doing XI or the whole squad?
Whole squad.
Ah Ok:
XI: 22.09
Squad: 22.46
But in the end, It only really matter about your best 12-13 Players...
Not really. I have different players that play on different pitches and against different opposition.
FTP in Site maintenance. >:(
Back now. :)
Well how many bowlers get games for you? 8??? I only have 5.
The squad doesn't really matter...
I have 7 bowlers all up and the worst is accom/accom, but he has cap batting.
And they all get games?
Yep. Every one of my bowlers has played a game.
One I just bought has played only one, but the others have played as well.
Why? Do your bowlers have horrible endurance?
Different pitches Q ::)
Quote from: BOOMZ on January 29, 2011, 05:44:34 PM
Different pitches Q ::)
Exactly. Also my bowlers have nearly the same skills.
Average age of my squad- 22.64
Did I make a mistake? :o
lol mines 25.5 :P but I'm bringing in younger players atm who will play T20's and take over from the oldies as needed.
Damn I did make a mistake :P It's 24.5 :P
Quote from: roo boys! on January 29, 2011, 06:21:39 PM
Damn I did make a mistake :P It's 24.5 :P
Young Guns FTW!
ML do you play 5 bowlers a game? or 4 and a AR?
Depends. I don't have any true ARs. I have a wristy and a medium both with capbale batting and the medium plays nearly every game for me.
Do you consider them as Bowlers?
Yes. They are accom/accom and exp/exp.
Then I can understand. But if you consider them as AR's and you have another 7 bowlers who get games, well that would be crazy.
Hey Q I changed my offer for Walcott, care to look?

No I counted them when I counted my bowlers.

That's what I said.
CF I'll take a look.
Yer. I know. Just confirming it. ;)
Hopefully I can get a win over letch tomorrow or if I lose Hp loses too :P
Hopefully Chiba takes five fa on the slow pitch to steer me to victory and to take the
top bowler for the ffpl :)
Anyone want to do a write up for the FFPL?
Sorry RB, Kimber will take that mantle of top bowler after knocking off Boomz ;)
Yeah Chiba didn't do shower :P
