Depends on whether you can take the extra wages, which would be another 15k or thereabouts if you get him up to exquisite. Adam will have a better idea of that figure.

If you want to really maximise his uberness without much of a wage hit you could give him a fielding net I suppose.

A fielding net with a fitness net wouldn't do much though.

what is your keeper like?

 

[mikeW]

what is your keeper like?

Woeful Stamina, Feeble Bat, Proficient Keeping.

That guy might go for a bit too much but if i have enough i was wondering if he is worth that kind of money?

I would bid on that guy, looks very good a decent price and can be trained even higher.

Next season will be dropping Westhead and T.Kennedy back to 1 primary net each and will use the 2 extra nets for a new bowling trainee. I should have 2 wonderfuls n 2 remarkables by the end of next season then + wotever trainee bowler is. The 2 quality bats will become redundant soon, im thinking might aswell try to trade them in as my goal is to train my guys up to wonderful+ by the time their 21. So these guys are out of sync with my training method as they started before the new yp system and i cant really afford the nets for them. Its a tough call but i thought it might be a good idea to try n get a high level player before their prices start going even higher or whether to jus keep them as back up middle order bats until they eventually get replaced.

Mike, if you've got the money, then bust a gut on that WK - Though I guess it's going to mean staying up most of the night for you? But he's only 20YO, with plenty of room for improvement. The keeping is already probably international class - And whilst Qual batting is a bit short of true Gun status - His Sens Conc will make him pretty awesome anyway. Plus, as I already said, there's still plenty of time to train him up to Wand and beyond, and presuming you carry on with a WK net at the same time, he's going to be pushing Elite Conc by then.

The only down sides that I can see are: A, is your club big enough to sustain his inevitably rocketing wages? And B, a career average of 45 and season's of 60'ish doesn't really scream "Gun" at me. Admittedly I didn't look at the standard of opposition he's been playing against, but equally perhaps I've radically over-estimated how good Sens Conc will make him in comparison to your run-of-the mill Qual Bat?

My basic rule of thumb on training beyond the teens is that if you reckon a player is good enough to still make your starting CI in two to three seasons' time, then it's almost worth training them indefinitely.

Later, Trev

BT down for anyone else? Need to finalise orders for my loss tomorrow.

 

[Kweek]

need a friendly...anyone ?

 

[Johnners]

Nah working fine for me Nnanden, just did my orders then

 

[Nate]

Yeah mate, got it working.

Realising I`m pretty screwed for both my matches. Hopefully I don`t get thrashed, and can grasp a better idea of my players` abilities. I have a paceman, a left-arm-medium and three spinners on a pacers deck in my first match.

EDIT: And that`s leaving out one of my gun spinners.

EDIT EDIT: Looking forward to my match against Wright, if only to get some revenue.

Thanks mate but it looks like he's going to go for a little bit more money than i have

Sure, hope you get him (you might get him with your current bid because of his potential wages putting teams off). If you do get him I wouldn't train them in w/keeping any further tho, that exquisite w/keeping is going to cost you a fortune when his wages are recalculated so you might want to get your finances back up so you're getting plenty of interest to cover them.

You don't really get much in return for training his w/keeping up, you just get a huge amount added to his wages.

Thanks mate, just looking at his league it is rather strange and somewhat suprising he only averages 60.

 

[Nate]

What`d you bid for him Mikey-boo? He`s going for over 4.5 mill now.

Thoughts on this guy?

 

[Nate]

Sorry to post again, but is it possible to know what time of day my match will be on?

EDIT: I think it says 00:30. Great.

 

[PY]

That's GMT time, so look at the BT clock and do the math.

He's ok, needs stamina training urgently. There's some decent sublevels there as well, somewhere.
