Some nice pops on my all-rounder... can take 2 nets off him now. Still won't be very effective as a bowler tho with that stamina.

Great player...until i saw that crap stamina. suprised your training someone that old.

They're only 22, anyway I'm just training them til they pop in their bowling/batting/cons. I knew from the wage they'd pop quickly (that was their second week of training). Bowling might take a while now tho because of the others being so fast. The stamina isn't as much as a problem as it appears because they're only a medium pacer anyway.

I suppose, still a 22yr old would be like 15 weeks with one net

Still get more bang for your buck than when you give 2 nets to a 17yo. 2 nets x 8 weeks = 16 nets.

Training older players is a better long term strategy than stacking nets on younger players, though both have their pro's and con's.

Well seeing as i never stack nets on one player i wouldn't know too much about this. But i guess its a choice of aiming for short term or long term benefit.

Canning's already on two batting, two bowling and fielding net for me. I'm thinking I should up it to three bowling nets, but do you guys reckon it's worth it, or should I give him a fitness net instead?

3rd primary nets are a waste of time in my opinion. If they're not playing (which at fatigued PFL I hope not) you should train them up to superb stamina, in future this will allow you to train them and play them at the same time - also fitness training has a bigger PFL hit than standard nets, so you want to get those out of the way as soon as possible (that's why I train 4 players on stamina at the end of the season and off-season).

And a consistency pop on my WK which is fairly insignificant. Expecting Cuss and Watkins to pop in batting in the next week or two.

Oh thanks. So that's around three increases per week, which is much better than I get with respectable stamina (just the one increase). Interesting.

Didn't want a spinner. I've made some offers for players so depending on those I'll deicde what to do with him. Might train him up a bit then sell one of my two spinners I have now who have higher stamina atm. That's pretty much all they have over him.
