I hope the wage adjustment is because the secondaries are going to be very useful in FC cricket. I've got 3 strong and 1 wonderful secondary already - the 2 strongs and wonderful will all improve again shortly.

Wage adjustment suits me perfectly, none of my players have great secondaries. Malik (see above) has the best set of secondaries out of my players, and he's not that high. Hopefully it'll be a total recalculation rather than simply adding extra £'s. It should make trading on the transfer market a little more difficult though.

Hooray.

Well it's been a glass half full/half empty kind'a week for me. On the plus side The 'Gurs' saw off the bottom side in our league on Friday, to rise to 4th with two wins and two defeats, but on the down side we only beat them by 59 runs. On the plus side 9 of my team got into double figures, 6 of them making it past 20, although on the down side none of them went on to score more than 40. Partridge continued his rehabilitation getting amongst the runs with 40 (57) and Mullins stepped up to the mark with 39 (61), but new boy Patel only managed 24 on his debut and Staveley had his first proper failure with just 11, in our middling total of 249/9.
Nottinghamshire then raced to 100/3 in eighteen overs, only to subside to a drawn out and tortuous capitulation of 190 A/O in 44.2. Bewers was the Daddy with the ball, walking away with the MOTM champagne for his return of 7.2/1/28/5, Mullins continues to punch above his weight as a Med Bowl, taking 10/1/39/2, and Edworthy was his usual miserly self, with 10/3/24/2, to add to his stirling rearguard action with the bat, nurdling 22 (29) from No.8. But Burke's bewildering Sol Campbellesque loss of form is beginning to get boring, as he chucked pies on his way to 0/52 off 7. I really can't work out what's got into him. He's a Resp Bowler, and with wages of £800-odd a week, a mid-range Resp at that! So he should be good enough for Div IV, yet his returns to-date have been worse than my Med or Comp bowlers. The only theory I can begin to formulate is that it's something to do with his destructive temperament not being suited to opening the bowling. I hope I'm not misquoting you again here Scaly, but I think I recall you once saying that destructive players annihilate weaker opposition, but rapidly become unstuck against better players? This would seem to be born out with Burke, as he steamrollered his way to 39 wickets at 14/15 in Div V last season, yet this year he appears unable to hit a cow's a*se with a banjo. In my league most teams seem to have a sprinkling of Strong and Prof bats at the top of the order, with the rest made up of Resps and Comps. Hitherto I've been putting Burke up against the opposition's best batsmen, because on paper at least, he's one of my best bowlers. But I'm beginning to think that I might be better off bowling him first or second change and hoping he can rediscover some form by dicking on the weaker players - What do you reckon?
No primary pops for me this week, but then again I wasn't expecting there to be. There were however still a few unexpected bonuses. Staveley popped to Med Conc, Bewers to Med Cons, Haldane to Feeb Conc, and Mullins to Woe Conc, though I'd have preferred if he'd have gone to Prof Cons instead. Now he'll probably pop to Prof Cons next week, and won't have enough time to pop again before the training changes. But with all the others I'm hoping that they can squeeze in one more improvement in the next fortnight.
Primary-wise I think I'm in line for a bumper March and early April, as, if my calculations are right, in the space of four to five weeks: Staveley will reach Strong Bat, Mullins and Haldane Resp Bat, and Bewers Prof Bowl. Once Mullins hits Resp bat I'll pull his batting net and he and Haldane can share one, with the other going to Patel. Mullins has only just popped to Med bowl, and at already 19yo, I guess the perceived wisdom would be to also pull his bowling net pretty soon. But in the light of his spookily good performances given his relative lack of ability, and his increasingly high Cons, I'm inclined to keep training him, as if he can reach say High Comp/Low Resp, with for argument's sake Qual Cons, he's going to be one hell of a bowler to have at the death.
Managed to sell Oli, my 24yo Comp opening bat with Resp Stam and Woe Conc, for £50,000, which I didn't think was a bad bit of business. I know you could argue that it's only the going market rate, that it would cost me just as much to replace like with like, and therefore it's not such a good deal - But he'd been drinking from Burke's shitjuice bottle, and really couldn't cut it in my league, so the only alternative to taking £50k for him was continuing to pay £450 a week for a player I'd only ever use in friendlies. I do have a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that culling the dead wood from my squad could come back to bite me roundly on the buttocks if FC games come in next season, but I can't run the team on what might happen!
Anyway, with the £50k for Oli, and getting Patel for much less than I'd budgeted, I find myself with the unusual luxury of still having £120/£130K in the transfer kitty. I think I'll spend it on a tidy spinner if I can find the right man at the right price, but I'm in no mad rush.
This Friday I'm playing the new replacement team in my league, and I should giz in their faces, and next week I'm up against the run-away leaders, who'll beat me like my Daddy! So I'm TIEing both of them, to try and store up fitness for battles yet to come. Which reminds me, if you want to TIE, but limit the damage, what's the best way to go about it? I figured it was probably to bat first, and set everyone to V. defensive, in an attempt to use up as many overs as possible batting and bowling? What do you reckon? And a re-run of last weeks questions, Does training in a primary and fitness do anything for secondaries? And does one fielding net on it's own help secondaries, or do you have to use it in conjunction with a primary net?

One fielding/w-keeping net alone will help with the secondaries, should train at around 4-5 weeks per pop for 17yo players until the training changes. Training in a primary will help with the relevant secondary, fitness training only affects stamina.

Tar for that Scaly, What do you reckon about continuing to give Mullins a bowling net? And do you reckon I'm along the right lines for limiting the damage in a match you know you're going to lose? or do you reckon it's better just to give standard orders? Sorry, so many questions!
Scaly piscine

If they're mediocre I wouldn't bother giving them a bowling net. I've not much experience of limiting the damage in a match, I would have thought the best bet was to change the pitch to hard and fast - should only take 2 days max to change from green. That pitch tends to allow both teams to score plenty even if the bowlers are way better.
