Obvious weak links in that side to be honest but if I get an all-rounder who's really decent then Ferrell drops out until he's better than Liyanage which shouldn't take too long. Then I need a new bat to replace King and my side will be taking shape.

Chanderpaul, Abdul kadir, Taylor, Moodley, Ferrell, Craddock and Bardle are all being trained to various degrees.

I'd definitely be still training Sekani, would want him to exquisite at least when he's wonderful at 20.

Slowly getting better, bowling attack & top order are my stronger points. Can't wait until Moloto ( who like Taylor is Comp/Resp bat/keeper, but only 17y/o) pops to resp then my middle/lower-middle order would look much more sound.

He's only got competent consistency though, so thought it might be a waste to take him way higher? Basically, it is either him or Craddock get the net and Craddock is only a superb at the moment.

Guess what you say makes sense but I was aiming for a more rounded bowling attack. How long would it take for Sekani to reach exquisite?

Oh and what do you reckon to this guy at 5m?

His consistency will catch up a bit if you one net Sekani up to exquisite. You'd probably be looking at exquisite-superb/quality, you could decide whether you want to give him a fielding net, get him up to masterful or whatever. He's a bit of a waste at wonderful-competent if you're not going to train him, you may as well try and sell him for 6m if you're just going to leave him.

BTR doesn't look too bad, range is 37400 to 51400 so he's middle of that. He's fine at 5m if you've got the nets.

Hmm, have only got room for the one bowling net really but having his consistency up a bit appeals to me.

Will go with a final bid of 5m for the all-rounder. Can make 1/2 nets spare at a push.

Nicely rounded player, and medium-paced so wouldn't suffer from fitness drops too much.

However, £5M is a lot of money. Unless you're going to throw nets at him and train him up into a relatively uber all-rounder, it's not worth it compared to the quality of batsman or bowler you could get for that money -- you'd be getting a matchwinner rather than someone who just improves your twam a bit.

At the moment, I reckon your side could really do with a decent bowler to partner Sekhani...who you should either train or sell, thinking about it -- you could probably get good money for him (which can then be plowed into a better-balanced player). If you were to train him, I'd get him at least up to Sensational -- the conc will catch up a little, and you could always stick a fielding net on him when he's older if you can't spare one now.

Problem is with that is that I need an all-rounder really.

My batting is a couple short and my bowling is one short and I only have 7m so I figured all-rounder would solve some of those problems as you can get two players for the price of one as it were.

I do need someone with Sekani, Ferrell should be there in 2 seasons as he's on two nets and Bardle/Craddock (both superb/prof) are OK for my league but they aren't guns but I'm back to the problem of being lighter in batting than bowling. All my three star bats are getting nets, & Taylor who should be superb/prof by the end of the season which leaves not many nets spare.

I'd say that guy looks pretty good value to me. His secondaries mean that he'd only need one batting and one bowling net to develop into something pretty special, and something pretty bloody amazing if you had two batting and bowling to spare.

Thanks for editing my table PY, though it was actually a cunning ploy to try and lure Robertinho out of hiding in an indignant fit of tabulation rage:-) Where is that guy BTW? Has he still not managed to find an internet café? And what about his team? I'm happy to take care of it if it means he doesn't turn Bot!

Oh and Adam, I've had an idea for a new feature in the game, please could you pass it on to the powers that be for me?

FLOODLIT GAMES.
For an initial purchase of £1M, teams may buy floodlights for their ground. Up to four of a teams home league matches in a season can then become day-nighters, starting at 16:30 local time, providing that users click the "Day-Night" link on the match's 'Orders' page at least one week in advance of the fixture.

Clubs may typically expect a 33% larger crowd than they would have had for the equivalent match during the day, (even if that means the ground's maximum capacity is exceeded), however, on the financial update on the week of a Day-night match, the Ground Upkeep will be raised by 33%, to accommodate the extra electric bills, and the hire of any temporary seating which may be required. It's up to you to decide whether you'll be better off from holding a day-nighter.

Also, as in real life, there will be an inherent benefit from batting first in a day-night game. It's up to you to decide whether you are sufficiently better than your opposition to take the risk of losing the toss - Or perhaps you think this could be the only way in which you'd beat a side to which you'd have otherwise lost.

Why? Any new batsmen would just replace King, while a bowler would presumably replace Liyanage -- your team isn't yet crammed with good players, unfortunately.

Given the BTR of your wickie, I'd look to get a 'keeper-batsman as your all-rounder. I assume he's no higher than Strong WK at the moment?

£5M I think gets a pretty nice strike bowler -- flogging Liyanage would then give you enough cash to bolster your batting a bit. Or you could sell Ahmed and use the combined funds to get a better WK/bat. If you buy a "finished product" player, you may even be able to free up a net or two for training up an all-rounder.

My batting is a couple short and my bowling is one short and I only have 7m so I figured all-rounder would solve some of those problems as you can get two players for the price of one as it were.
Hang on...you've got £7M?!

Well, if you've got that much cash lying around, I recommend that you spend it all on Proficient batsmen ;)

PY why don't you spend your money on a couple experienced strong or superb players until you have nets free. You got some talent there just need to fill the gaps really.

I'm giving thought to signing this guy as my new batting trainee -

Now, sadly, I'm pretty sure that he is a low strong, but can anyone confirm this? He also has a cautious temperment, which I'm not overly keen on. However, having been keeping an eye on the market now for quite some time, players worth spending money on are always overpriced.. This guy appears to be in good shape stamina wise, so I think he'd be a decent move. Anyhow, any comments would be appreciated

Probably gonna get someone to replace Singh. My trainee, Karthikeyan is only feeb-comp-med, however he's exactly what I need, but I think i'll introduce a stop-gap especially for the two matches that I have, the following week and the week after that one. Very crucial..Anyone have any advice on my team?
