Two more good pops this week. Martyn should hit strong in the next week or two, but that'll be it for a while I think. Pietersen's basically my third best batsman now, but still averages about 5 due to his crap stamina. Should be a gun by the end of next season or so.

Well you could sell him, but he is pretty close to proficient. If you've got the net space, you could train him to prof and then sell him. I'm not sure how your batting is, but I think it'd be too much of a hassle to keep him, cause you'd have to get the stamina up a lot.

Edit: Or do what nibbs said.

hmm 2 bat, 1 field, 2 stam

trian train train

I would train him on 2 batting and one stamina atleast. I would be suprised if you many trainees with better potential look at your side TBH.

Will do. This is my squad btw. 1st XI highlighted:

I had similar thing with my 17yo plus his form is stuck at prof for his batting even though he's getting two nets and playing every week. Beginning to wonder if he's stuck.

Anyway, had a pretty good week of poppage.

Starting to think the same thing about primary pops by my records Paris ----> Remarkable Batting and Mee ------> Superb Bowling this week.Checked the thread and it supported the claim.

 

[andyc]

How long does it take for a primary pop for a 20 year old with one net? Just realised Canning's gone 15 weeks without a bowling pop.

A while I think, Bardle's on 13 or 14 now.

[trevor_vayro]

The opening bowlers led the way in training today, with a consistency pop for Bewers, and a Bowling pop for Wilde. Wilde is usually a week ahead of Mohammed, so he should also reach strong next week, although I too have the form problem, as despite seven or eight weeks of two nets and two games,Mohammed's stuck on Feeb Batting form and Comp Bowling form.

Having seen some of the no ITS YPs flying around this week, I gambled a few ITS on Stam Conc and Cons, just on the off-chance I'd turn up a gem - But it appears I'm no better at it than Adam - I got a Wor/Med Wor/Feeb with Resp Stam. Glad I didn't waste any more ITS on primaries.

In other news, Greening notched up another ton in yesterday's 237 run Blind Cricket Challenge win over The Willow Wavers.

Cymru Gurgitaters 340/5, Greening 134 (116), Staveley 126 (127), Patel 47* (30)
The Willow Wavers 103 A/O, Lebenthle 53* (63), Bewers 3/24 (5.0), Wilde 3/27 (7.0), Bridges M 2/18 (5.0), Cash 2/21 (5.3)

The Willow Wavers! Cymru Gurgitaters
Top Order: respectable quality
Middle Order: mediocre competent
Lower Order: abysmal abysmal
Seam Bowling: respectable proficient
Spin Bowling: respectable proficient
Fielding: mediocre feeble
MOTM: Greening

My first Qual Top order, first Qual anything come to that, unless you count Qual Spin when Bridges M plays on his own, but that's cheating really. Mind you, having Greening, Staveley and Noon in the top order doesn't half leave the middle looking a bit sparse!

And I've finally had a bid on Zonke, for £650K - 18YO, Woe Stam, Prof/Feeb Bowl. There's still two days to go on the bidding, so with any luck that'll go up a bit more, I was hoping for closer to a Mill - Though considering I only paid £225K for him, anything's good really!

Later, Trev

Reckon I've added close to 3m to his value in the six weeks since I bought him (there's a wonderful/prof/resp bowler going for 7.5m at the moment, though that may be an anomaly).

 

[Robertinho]

Ralph - top value.

 

[PY]

Yeah I've got same amount of money as you had Rob and there's not been a single decent bowler go for less than 7m since I've had that money.

I'd pay what you paid for Crawford easily now Adam.
