Thats a shame embi, it would have been nice to have someone from PC in that focus group, oh well, lets see if Earl drops by here!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Nice, Earl arriving on PC...
Hope he likes my story :o

You have nothing to worry about.

Darn, I'm falling once again in League 2. It's just too hard to stay at the top. All the Teams have atleast 3 players with more than 20000 BTR.

So do I, and I'm a fairly low team in IV in England.

Good luck tomorrow, kutta. Looks like you're a league ahead of me, though we're playing in different countries. It should be interesting.

Lol I have teams exactly the same and i'm in the bottom league for Aus

 

[borncricketer]

Lol its opposite for me the other teams in my league have NT players and ppl with BTRs of 20000 + where as i jus have 1 player over 20000 BTR and i am still first its not because i have played the worst teams but its because i played a really good team and 1 mid difficulty team, now i jus hope i can stay there

Good luck tomorrow, kutta. Looks like you're a league ahead of me, though we're playing in different countries. It should be interesting.

Good luck to you too.Luck is not favouring us in recent times.So your team will be favourites.

 

[embi]

Hehe, me and Spin are up against each other today. Have just finished the orders, the guys are just waking up in their hotel...decided even driving to Lancashire from Surrey would be a bit gruelling, then to play a competetive game of cricket. Lol.
We were initially worried about a bit of sabotage after Kekeletso complained of a stomach bug, but fortunately it all seems to be ok.

Lol.:laugh:

In about one hour, my team will be having their first BT International Friendly.Once again vice captain Bhutia will be leading the side.Skipper Abdul Kadir didn't fly to England for his excessive laziness.:laugh:

Thanks for your application. I'm sorry to inform you that we have decided not to include you within the focus group at this time. Currently we are keen to run these groups over VoIP chat and so a microphone is something of a requirement. However I can assure you that we will be including the view of teenage players as a matter of priority.

Best of luck to you with your team and I hope you continue to enjoy Battrick.

Many thanks,
Matt / COM-Earl_CG


not too fussed, new Voice chat would count against heavily, is why i put it at the top of my application



anyone else reading the Q+A?

 

[Adarsh]

I've made a huge mix up in the orders against Briggs! My spinner is batting at 5, and my allrounder is not even playing.

 

[pal]

Hey guys, right now I have 3 bowling nets, 3 batting nets, 2 fitness nets, one fielding net, and one wicket-keeping net.

Is it worth having a wicket-keeping net? I'm thinking about firing that coach and perhaps also one fitness coach and bring in two primary coaches. What do you recommend?
