You laughing so hard pretending to know what you're on about. That guy wouldn't sell in a million years.

I've seen similar players get 1k from noobs. I don't know what I'm on about, but I know a bit now, like that training that player is completely stupid.
Fair enough dude but it's not too long ago that you were asking similarly "stupid" questions. How would you like it if someone responded to a question you asked like you did? I presume the guy is new to the game so give him a break.

I presumehe doesn't give a ****. He's not very new, and he's my friend. He won't give two ****s, and if he does, I'll text him or call him and say sorry.

:laugh:. Sif I would, but that last bit was to show that I know him, well.

Anyway, won all my matches so far this season, hopefully tomorrow I can wake up around the start of my cup game and watch it through, hoping I can surprise this guy, who's much better than me, but I'm best team GFI'ing, hopefully I can get over the line.

Just pulled this guy; which is exactly what I needed (a quick bowler but with a bit of batting too). Stamina's poked, so I've got him on 2 x bowling and 1 x stamina.

I'm thinking I also need him on a fielding net. Thoughts?

Now this will sound bad after my last few posts, my noob time. If this player wasn't being trained for under 19s (I seriously couldn't imagine why not TBH) he would have a fielding, but secondaries improve quicker when players are older, thus the fielding net would have more effect later in his training. Correct?

Not good, after getting the openers very early, a couple of fillers with 6k bt ratings, now I've got these two 15-20k rated bats, which kill me.

i wouldn't listen to jakester. he doesn't really know what he is talking about

the difference is only 1-2 weeks really, and some people don't seem to realise it, but fielding is a very underrated skill that is well worth having.

I was asking, not telling him what to do. Trying to learn myself.

Ah well, they were much better, I wish I wasn't so stupid to think I have a chance and GFI.

I've been batting great, but too slowly. Buchanan's first game for me, Spillane went well. My best bats are at 3 and 4, if I can start scoring quickly, I might be in with a shot. If only.

Batting well, too slow though. I should have put more batsmen on aggressive rather than normal.
