My 2 trainees popping again - beginning to like the look of these 2.

How long would people keep on with Mosheua - I have a 17 year old resp bowler. Would it be worth changing the nets over yet?

Presume you've got or had multiple batting nets on Mosheua, I would cut him down to one if you haven't already. Looks like he'd pop to superb in 5-6 weeks on one net.

Another very useful pop, the quicker he gets up the stamina, the better, so he can play good IV cricket soon. (He's probably actually my 3rd best batsman now)

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Keep in mind that the wage doesn't change during the season, only at the end of the season, so if he's been on a bowling net all season he'll be much closer to popping.

Haha really? Had no idea about that. I guess he'll pop soon then. Been about 12 weeks now.

A good win for Jamie in our friendly yesterday - I posted what I thought would be a defendable total on an uneven pitch with 264/9, Cash 34, Staveley 62, Bennett 75, Greening 33*. Bardle had impressive figures with 10/2/37/7, but crucially went wicketless in his first spell, and let us get away from the weaker bowlers up to the 40th over. Kealey also bowled tidily for his 2/39. Then Bardle ran through us in his last five, (four in his last over), though bizarrely, at that stage of the innings, it was the extra 20/30 runs he denied us which turned out to be more important than the seven wickets.

So, as I say, we were a bit light on what we'd have liked, but should still have made a better fist of our defence of 264. Bewers's and Edworthy's length barely made it over the long jump record at the Dwarf Olympics, and not even the spinners seemed to be able to stick their spinning fingers in the dyke at first. But with 70 on the board, Bridges M eventually bowled Kerwin around his legs for a stupefying 48, and Lee and Gowshall weren't able to take full advantage of Bent's first serving of 30 juicy pies. Cash, having gone for 31 in his first five, then managed to find some rhythm, conceding just 15 from the second half of his spell - And together with Bridges M - pushed the RRR up beyond 6 for the first time in the innings.

But then the timer went off on Big Cook Bent's and Little Cook Edworthy's oven, and Gowshall and Lee rushed to get the Steak and Kidney's while they were hot! Lee choked on a crust, hitting a return catch to Bent for a grafting 93 (135), and Edworthy ridiculously took three wickets in his penultimate over, as indigestion set in. But justice was duly done when Gowshall and Wanless scrambled the four remaining singles from Bewers in the 48th, Gowshall finishing on an impressive run-a-ball 91*

Bewers had a bad day at the office, but everyone will at some time, what this match illustrated, once again, was that if he and Bridges M don't fire then I'm in deep doodoo - As Cash can only really block up an end, and Bent and Edworthy are cart-horses. With regards to The Battle of Bardle! - I think we pretty much came out honours even, maybe with Bardle edging it slightly. As I say, I think his seven wickets are a bit of a red herring, as they all came too late really. His failure to strike in his first spell allowed us to post 250+, but his awesome second spell did prevent us from getting 280+, which I think would have been a winning score, even with Edworthy and Bent in my side!

BTW, Adam, please could you get me a bowling trainee for Christmas? I have 32 ITS, so I'm going to punt on a 17Yo, 4 Stam, 5 Bat, 2 Conc, 11 Bowl, 7 Cons and 3 Field

No Worries if you've gone to bed tonight, whenever you can is fine tar Ad, and good game Jamie, well done. Oh and Andy, fancy a friendly this week mate?

Later, Trev

 

[Jamee999]

Trev, wouldn't it be better to save up and get a new 17yo after the age updates to train?

 

[trevor_vayro]

I'm convinced that YPs have more natural talent towards the end of the season, to compensate for lesser training time. It's only ever worked for me once, but from last week, and in previous seasons, I've noticed the standard of other people's YPs going up.

Here's hoping anyway! Trev

Presume you've got or had multiple batting nets on Mosheua, I would cut him down to one if you haven't already. Looks like he'd pop to superb in 5-6 weeks on one net.

He's currently on 2 batting, 1 fielding, 1 fitness.

Ideally want to get his fitness up more, but IIRC double fitness nets don't help that much?

Double fitness nets are like double batting or any other net, you lose 30-35% of the effect of the duplicate net. Their stamina would pop every 4 weeks instead of every 6 weeks. PFLs will be hit a fair bit more as well on 2 fitness nets, as those have a bigger PFL hit than normal nets.

I'd sooner keep a second batting net than a fielding net, you'll only get an extra concentration pop every 13-14 weeks, other than that the only benefit is fielding improving, which doesn't seem to make much difference. A second batting net would give an extra level of batting per season. Fielding nets are now only useful for bowlers who bat and all-rounders in my opinion.

 

[superkingdave]

no pops this weeks was half expecting Islam to pop in bowling, he's had at least 14 weeks since the last bowling pop and 12 weeks since his last consistency pop, any idea if he'll pop soon? (only 1 bowling net)

RIght thanks - just discovered another 19 year old Resp-Feeb bat, so am going to give him a few nets - try and get him up a bit more.

Still going 2 bat, 2 bowl, 1 fitness, 1 fielding on Otsembor - think he's goig to my real gun player eventually - not bad for £71k 3 months ago!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Anyone got a gun batsmen they want to sell me for 4.3 million?

Sean Field. Fairly gun.

 

[roseboy64]

Had stamina pops for two of my bowlers, Ricketts and Bignot.

 

[Perm]

Two pops for me this week, one on my opening batsman and one on my wicket keeper.
