Also due to your lack of stamina on your players - especially the bowlers I would set your bowling orders up at sets of 5.

I think (more from observation than proof) it is more than worth trying to get a player to strong primary as this seems to give the biggest rise in price on the transfer market. Coupled with the slightly increased secondaries he should raise a lot more cash at strong.

What state is your academy and are you using/buying ITS?

My Academy is feeble and my ITS Investment is $4000/week

That youth academy will take £180-210K of repairs to get it to superb, which you should do before buying any ITS. It's not worth pulling players from an academy below superb, where you can put 35 ITS on a 17 year old pull, so I'd cut the ITS investment until you can afford to improve and maintain your academy - it will deteriorate at about 1/2 levels per season and need occasional repair at £30K a time, then buy as many ITS per week as you can afford. Maybe you can do this once you sell Peters and have made a bit from home games.

Lost again this week but I was happy with my teams improvements.

The other team made 270/10

Bowling figures

Peters - 9.2 overs 2/74
Stanton - 10 overs 0/35
Kealey - 10 overs 2/66
Clarke - 10 overs 2/37
Kewell - 9 overs 4/47

I was happy that my team were able to take 10 wickets but they still made 270 off 48.2 overs

Batting

Briers 48 off 66
Sheffield 12 off 22
Spilliane 26 off 49
Kewell 49 off 51
Cawson 29 off 44
Sadler 3 off 5
Themba 20 off 20
Stanton 7 off 3
Clarke 0 off 1
Peters 0* off 3
Kealey 1 off 3

208 off 44.2 overs

Realisticly there teams average player ratings were around double of my players.

Is that using sets of 5? If it is Id swap Stanton and Peters so Peters bowls the rest of his overs in the middle overs not at the death, where his rubbish consistency will mean he gets carted.

Yes sets of 5 over is what I am using, I will try that for the next match.

I noticed you played on a dusty pitch - which helped your bowlers - hence why you bowled the opposition out. Have you set your pitch to dusty?
