Err the better team nearly always wins in BT because the pitches have no character, they're just simply bowler friendly or batsmen friendly or somewhere in between - things such as a pretty decent spinner taking 5-5-0-3 against a good team on a green + cloudy & humid happen regularly. It's only this season that Pob has actually started losing the odd game, which is a bit odd considering because he has a lot stronger and more solid side than he had before - but it's likely down to his lack of an uber bowler. The matches in BT are very predictable btw.
Anyway spinners regularly taking stuff like 5-0-15-1 on a flat in the opening overs is bulldust. Guess what happened when my seamers opened the bowling in the same match? Yep 5+ an over. It's not ebbing or flowing or any other crap your mind can try and conjure up as some token argument presented as unquestionable wisdom from a supreme deity.

Anyone else noticed that their captains are taking significant fitness hits? I notice that I hardly give my captain a break with the bowl after he opens the bowling. But I was just wondering if it was that or a trend in the game for captains. Seems realistic if you take in account mental fitness i guess, but just wanted to know is that was what is happening.

Well yea there are to people who know what they're doing, but I figure there's a reasonable chance they'll sell.

Same here although my captain is also a bowling all rounder and does quite poor endurance anyway even the guy who fills in for him gets bigger fitness hits.

Playing SKD in a friendly. Smashed 400 against his side. I think that is the first time I hit 400 against a non bot.
They got a new funtion, the worm. They love their little features in this game.

Better starting team then what I had TBH. Just pick whether you want to train someone as batsmen, bowler, keeper or all rounder and go from there really.

Is there any way to increase the effect of training? Do players improve better at a young age like in battrick? I've got a couple of decent youth players I think - Andrew Mace and James Smart.

Invest more in the acadmey and that increases the effect of training. But I wouldn't invest too much to start off with until your finances are settled.
Also check out the CW FTP Championship thread, we need a couple more sides to make a D2.
