Hmm my opening bats have feeble and competent stamina, and they generally do the job, but then that's just against bot teams. The competent batsman does often stay in for a while, but the fact that he's got destructive temperment doesn't help. Generally, I'd say mediocre at the very least, preferably competent. But then again, I opened with a proficient batsman with woeful stamina against Paddy's (3/3/3/3/3/3/33) team, and he hit 135...brenoevo said:

Well others obviously disagree, but I'm not sure he's worth the effort really. Obviously you've bought him for his secondaries, so you'd have to keep giving him a fielding net if you want him to retain that advantage. Then you'd have to give him at least two bowling nets all season, so essentially you're using three nets on a player who will only have competent bowling by the end of the season (although he's probably quite close to mediocre already, looking at that wage).mikeW said:
You'd probably get him to competent/exceptional which would give him a great BTR, but personally I don't think he'd be any better than a proficient with ordinary secondaries (which you could achieve by giving a competent two nets all season). Three nets all season will cost 120k, and if you're training him for profit, you'd want to be making two or three times that, so you'd have to sell him for 240-360k, which seems to me more than he'd be worth; in any case you'd get more by training a competent up to proficient.
Just my two cents.

If that's the best you've got, then train him by all means. But if you've got better trainees I would focus on them instead. As I said, if you put two bowling nets and one fielding on him all season he'll end up around competent/exceptional. If you put the same nets on (e.g.) a competent/mediocre, he'll end up around proficient/quality, which would be far more useful really. If you don't have the luxury to choose between potential trainees then obviously stick with this guy.

Guys, I've already assigned net session for my players this week. I am, however, planning to fire some and hire different coaches. If I do fire some of my existing coaches, who I've already assigned, and hire some new ones, can I re-assign net sessions or should I just wait till next week?

Cuss has just started going berserk against England in the NT match:
40.4 4 Pepper to Cuss
Short and on his hips, worked away to the boundary.
40.5 4 Pepper to Cuss
Steered past a diving extra cover for four.
40.6 4 Pepper to Cuss
Beautiful cover drive races to the fence. That's four runs for Cuss. You won't see a better shot today.
...
41.5 6 Patel to Cuss
He's hit it up, up, up, up and..... it hasn't come down? Thats been skied miles out of the park. The ump will have to give a six for that one
End of Over 42: 209-3, runrate=4.98
Patel 9-0-29-0
Cuss* 44 (46 balls)
Fuller 64 (109 balls)
We're headed for 260ish which is OK considering we're TIEing on an uneven pitch against the current no. 1 team, England's batting will probably be much too strong though.
