Youth pull ftw! Too bad he is 17 though.

Pops were semi decent, 1 17yr old bowler to average, 1 endurance pop on a useless player, and a semi-useless bat popped to ordinary bat and tech.

My youth bowling lineup is now 1 reasonable 4 average's and 5 ordinaries. And my batting having 3 averages and 4 ordinaries. Coming along nicely.


Not sure what to do with training, alot of my youths have really bad tech and endurance. Anyone have any plans with the nets they're going to use?

Most of my youth players are on batting tech/bowling tech nets until their technique is on par with the primary. I noticed that endurance and technique seem to make as much difference as primaries. With endurance I just leave it and let them pop as they go. It only seems to make difference for bowlers anyway.

Had six pops and three guys will be promoted to the senior side as I fell they are ready. Two all rounders and spinner who is overall my best bowler in all squads. Might be able to have a late push for staying, or atleast build a side for next year.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, especially for some of my players.

As for promoting the players, im thinking about doing the opposite, selling my good senior players and bringing up a decent Youth squad.

Yeah I've be selling all my older senior players at the end of season. They don't seem to be popping at all. Also got some all rounder that at best can only make it as a batsmen or bowlerr and hard to train so I will be selling most of them as well. Most of my side next season should be Under 23.

BARNES OUT
Lost my 20/20. Brown made another 50 but couldn't carry on again.

Masses of youth pops. 2 bowlers to ordinary and my 16yr old RFM popped to average bowl and average technique. What a gun.

Same. I haven't bothered changing my orders since about the 3rd week. I only check it for my training and YP's now.

Only thing keeping me going is my youth squad, having fun building it up tbh. This is what it looks like now.

They cant win a match, but by the time they're all promoted into my seniors, id say id be near the best team in Sri Lanka.

2. Ariyapala Kodikara (17): Ave/Ord
3. Babiya Danthanarayana (16): Ave/Ord, Ord/Ord RM
4. Sanath Andrahennadi (16): Ord/Ord, Ave/Ord RM
5. Sadun Jaseam (18): Ave/Ord
6. Hetuwa Ratnayake (18): Ord/Poor, Ave WK
7. Sepala Ariyadasa (16): Ave/Poor, Ord/Poor OS
8. Nuwan Ashok (18): Poor/Ave, Ord/Ave RM

My entire Youth Squad, this is where im going to make my teams money. Though i dont like the only 25 people being trained, more and you get less %, and also the less money from sales of players that are only new to your team crap.

My Youth XI at present:


Gardner Ave/Ave bat (17yo)
Weeks Poor/Ave bat, ave/ave FM bowl (16yo)
Brodie Poor/Poor bat (16yo)
Verco Reas/Ord bat (16yo)
Reid Ave/Poor bat (17yo)
Mungroo Ord/Ord bat (17yo)
Patterson Poor/Ave bat, Ave w/k (17yo)
Ziebell Poor/Ave bat, Ord/Ave LAS bowl (17yo)
Taylor Ave/Ord OS bowl (16yo)
Nitschke Ave/Dre RM bowl (17yo)
McFarlane Ave/Ave OS bowl (16yo)


I've got some good reserves, who'll probably oust some of my poor bats out. Have just listed an average Youth bowler (18yo), who was playing til I pulled McFarlane today who is pretty good. I also have a 16yo reasonable spinner and an 18yo reasonable FM in my seniors.

Why promote them? Im putting in 3x the average in my youth and only a touch above the average in my senior so that i can train the crap out of them while they're young, and have a solid Senior squad in a few seasons.

Because they play each week, experience should somewhat compensate for what they lose in training (the players in the youths that wouldn't have played otherwise get experience too) and if they help me get my seniors promoted I'll have more money.

Yeah, i see your point, though ill be still going for the longer approach, as this season im out of contention in every aspect of the game.

How do you afford to put 3x the average in youth. I did that at the start if the season and I was losing money each week. Even now I can barely afford the average.
