Try moving to a smaller country. Yet to lose a match this season, cup final on Sunday, every match has been a walk. Even undefeated in T20, which is where my only challenging matches come from.

EDIT: Forgot to add that it makes it more boring.

Slow day for pops.

Owen Verma - 17 yo, BT Rating=6,908, Wage=£720
A cautious RH batsman and a steady RFM bowler. He has competent leadership skills and worthless experience. He has no preference and no trait.
He currently has proficient batting form, feeble bowling form and invigorated fitness.

Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: competent
Batting: proficient Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: abysmal
Fielding: worthless

My season is almost tracking too well. I find myself 8 points clear in my OD Div V league, my team would struggle in most other Div 5 leagues and yet I face possible promotion.

3Day also caused a major twist during the week. Currently sitting 37 points behind the leader in the Div VIII competition, but the leader turned bot during the week.

I am no fan of the concept of camping in a league. But I am facing the possibility of next season being winless if I end up promoting in both. Going to take some careful management to get myself out of this position, might be a good thing that I am facing more PFL issues now.

Maybe lose a game on purpose so you'll have to have a play off game to get into Division 4 OD and then you can lose :).

I'm not going to bother to train any of my players to Superb + 1 stamina. The next few weeks for my team is going to be very important, I need to win a few more OD games to make sure I don't demote back to division 5. I also need to win a couple of 2020 matches to keep the morale half decent.

Still looking for that quality - wonderful spinner on the TM market and it's taking too long to find a decent one with my money. Considering just buying a paceman on the market and training him. I might just buy a 17yo spinner next season and train him up.

ugh, look at his concentration. whilst i admit to having seen worse, either way dave paris is an example of poor training. tbph, i'd hardly define him as a star. for the love of god, get the man a fielding net, preferably also a keeping net as well.

If concentration matters that much, a batting would go a long way to helping.

Nice. Getting batting training?

What was his bowling when he was pulled?

I bought him and it was respectable.
As for batting, yeah he is as I have no other trainees so can afford to tank him.

Yeah, I bought him as he looked a good prospect. Then the SA U19 manager mailed me, weighed it up a bit. Have no other players worth training really, so what the heck.

Do you mean concentration or consistency? Regardless, he's on a fielding net. :)
