Unreal. If I only had half the luck of most of the people on here have.

Tell me about it...*sigh*

Yeah I've not seen all that much of a difference in the ratings, Nibbs.

Anyway, I had some unexpected pops today.

I was expecting Canning to pop in both secondaries, but not batting, and Griffin was long overdue in getting to superb, but I'd no idea about his stamina.

 

[cricketboy29]

Some very very nice pops for me. Thorp popping to strong, And Islam with three pops, in conc, cons and stamina.

Taking 7 weeks to pop with 2 bowling nets.

That was it for my squad

 

[Adamc]

I think the bug's still happening. Probably not going to get fixed either.

 

[Robertinho]

It is. Lowrider (whatever his team is on Battrick) had a full batting pop, with 2 nets, in 1 week.

 

[andyc]

I think the bug's still happening. Probably not going to get fixed either.

I know, and it makes me angry (cause I'm not getting any!)

Anyway, time for a bit of an update:

Batting- 52 (+5)
Bowling- 30 (+3)
Fielding- 29 (-7!)
Secondaries- 82 (-12!!!!!)
Stamina- 45 (-1)

Batting: 59 (+7)
Bowling: 35 (+5)
Fielding: 30 (+1)
Secondaries: 93 (+11)
Stamina: 56 (+11)

Big change in stamina, and steady increase in primaries. Bit of a worry about the fieldling, although I do have a respectable fielder with competent batting that I play every now and then.

 

[nooga99]

How do you come up with those ratings andyc?

 

[GotSpin]

Bug is in full swing, hopefuly its fixed before the next training. Good training for me though, bit dissapointed that Ridegwell didnt pop to superb batting

Get your first XI, add together their batting, bowling (only your 5 bowlers), fielding, secondaries (add conc and cons together) and stamina. Start with worthless as 1, abysmal 2, woeful 3, feeble 4, etc.

[Scaly piscine]

Bought this guy for 110k:

Santosh Mohamed (491499)
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, respectable batting form, mediocre bowling form, fresh
A cautious player with strong leadership skills and woeful experience.

Plays For: Scaly Piscine CC
Nationality: Sri Lanka
Age: 26 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 6,505
Wages: £1,172 p/w

Stamina: woeful Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: mediocre Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: proficient Consistency: abysmal
Fielding: mediocre


When they were originally put on the market they had respectable bowling, but they had a bowling net and popped to proficient - I half expected this to happen with their wage of £1172 out of a maximum of £1250ish for med-resp. Was surprised to still get them fairly cheap. Anyway my keeper popped in batting and consistency and my 17yo trainee popped to respectable bowling. Bowling should look pretty solid all-round next season.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Can someone tell me when De Beer should pop to respectable?

[Scaly piscine]

8-9 full sessions worth of nets from when his wages were recalculated.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I've been double netting him for most of the season, and nothing.
