Could have been a good keeper/batsmen. Three more YP left, how much money will be go for?

Going to play him in the cup match as an all rounder, just shows how crap our bowling is.

 

[NZTailender]

I take it you had a YP pull left over from a couple of weeks ago, or summat?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Australia can't pull youths until tomorrow, whereas I think other countries can pull them earlier.

 

[nibbs]

nz still waiting.

 

[NZTailender]

Bugger.

I'm going to do a full ITS YP pull when it's available. Everyones opinion on the allocation?

Depends what you want.

I'm normally go for:
11 - Stamina
12 - Primary
12 - Secondary

Probably get a bowler, so bowling and consistency

 

[NZTailender]

Think a might get a new batsman trainee, since I have plenty of decent bowlers yet my batting still has a competent down the order.

 

[andyc]

I will only have 20 ITS when it rolls around, so I guess I'll have to wait.

 

[mikeW]

70 ITS atm for a bowler.

 

[Adamc]

101 ITS, will probably just pull three batsmen. I've got up to three nets to spare so if I get a respectable I'll train him.

 

[Adamc]

Score.

I use Batman - you paste in your squad page once a week, and it tracks most things for you (not wages, that I've noticed). If you're really bored you can paste in your nets page too so it'll track precisely who's received what nets, but since my training program isn't due to change for another season or so, I can never be bothered.

Membership highlights any week-on-week changes in green when you look at a player's profile, nothing particularly useful. The shortcuts (to teams and players) is probably the most useful perk as far as I can tell.

Hmmmm, well I've downloaded Batman and attempted to paste in my squad page, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Is it supposed to take a while? I'm not exactly a computer whiz, so could be doing something wrong here, but I've followed all the instructions I think?

 

[superkingdave]

Got Sean's younger bro - not sure whether to train or list

Nope, should be basically instant. Just to check, you're pasting the html source code from the squad page into the box you get when you click "HTML Import ... Import Squad HTML"?

Oh, actually, I seem to recall you have to import your Pavilion page the first time you use the program, have you done that?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Another rubbish YP for me, what a surprise.

 

[GotSpin]

I can't do youth pulls yet :S

Anyway. These guys have progressed well

Ok, I tried importing the Pavilion page (I have been using the source code) and came up with the error message: Unable to parse Office Data File.

I have no idea what that means!

Edit: But pasting in the nets has worked fine!
