I know when I first signed up, I signed up as a spinner, but changed to medium fast (because at that stage there was a plethora of spinners around iirc) so it may be possible.

 

[Simon]

Is it too late for a kid to give up the medium pace dibbly dobblies and turn into a gentle off-break bowler?

Will allow it, but because I'm not a very nice person (and it's not overly fair on the other teams) it will result in either a small dip in your batting or bowling stats, i'll let you choose.

 

[Johnners]

When i think about it, personally would prefer it didn't happen for that reason (not really fair on everyone else). There is still 2 spinners of the rookies, annnd there's a chance Bennett might come back.

I'll take a slight dip in batting I guess - team needs stronger bowling to be honest.

Seems a bit harsh for a 17 year old though!

 

[Simon]

Slight dip in batting it will be if you want to go that way, best decide with your leadership group then.

 

[marc71178]

Some guidance please skipper.

 

[Furball]

Awesome! Welcome

BTW, I see you bowled a bit last season, wasn't spin perchance?

Was pace, what I'd wanted to do was see if it was possible to drop the bowling for a season and teach myself spin to be utilised in a couple of seasons time.

I hear DK bowls a mean off break.

What about someone who wants to give up fast bowling and learn to bowl chinaman?

Would it be posible to implement this over a longer period of time?

I never knew DK to bowl anything more than mean off-breaks

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Iirc I bowl RAES (Right-arm excruciatingly slow)

Who needs spinners, though? I'd be more concerned with having exactly two opening batsmen...

Kinda hoping Sharma can help fix that problem as all the rookies are listed as middle order

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Who needs openers? Take the Australian route IMO.

Think we've pretty much done that for six seasons with roaring failure iirc.

Tipping Kennett to open the batting. Best anchor ever.

What about if i gave up the Keeping option and signed as a spinner??? I was originally a spinner before it shut down but because my stats were lost i re-signed as a keeper cause Simon said their wasnt many around..

I could go back to my old stats if that will help??

Probably wouldn't allow a drastic change since you have been drafted as a keeper already.

Oh well was worth a try...

Not sure how that could be managed really.
