Some great pops for me. Thorp popping to superb really livened up my day. As well as Sam popping to abysmal stamina, making it that much easier for him to bat. Just waiting on Omardeen to pop to competent batting, and Islam to feeble stamina.

Opinions about this guy?, I'm sorta just looking for a fifth bowler. with the rest of my bowlers being (str-resp-comp-comp) with varying secondaries, but none above mediocre.

He's still dead in terms of PFL though which is irritating but he's improving steadily.

Training time...

Some good pops today, for the young Ricky Mclaren:

Now it means the only sublevels I'm not sure of are bowling and consistency - funnily enough, the 2 that will decide whether he gets a gig in the 1st XI or not. I have Hignett - (resp stamina, comp bowling, woeful cons) who is just crap, but gets in on account of his stamina. Rayno (feeble stamina, prof bowling, feeble cons) hasn't bowled a good spell for the entire season, possibly due to his low PFL, so he might get a rest on Friday if his PFL doesn't get up to say, invigorated.

Gray's been at Strong batting for 9 weeks (a couple of 2 nets), and Comp keeping for 8, so I'm expecting pops within the next couple of weeks. Mcmillan has been on Resp bowling for 7 weeks, a couple of those have been with 2 bowling nets.

So maybe in about 3 weeks, Mcmillan will be prof stamina, prof batting, prof bowling, prof conc, prof cons. Gray should be resp stamina, superb batting, resp keeping, maybe even superb conc. Rayno.. well, I'd say, at the most, med stamina, prof bowling, med cons.

But look, otherwise, great to get those two pops out of the way (feeble stamina is too low for a specialist bowler, let alone an allrounder, and I could never play a mediocre bat), he's definitely looking like a player of the future.

One noticable pop, that being young Parnell to proficient batting.

Drunk XI bow out of the cup after playing div II team Universal Soldiers on TIE:

they knocked me out in the cup in season 2. thought i had them beaten, but their bowlers destroyed me when i was chasing a relatively easy target.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Couple of primary pops, Pace up to superb bowling and Packer to strong batting.

 

[Adamc]

Mmm a little annoying, WI haven't had daily updates for three or four days (hence no fitness increases) and now we've missed a training update as well.

 

[roseboy64]

Yes it is rather distressing.

just one pop for me, but a pretty awesome pop at that. tbh, i had figured that hamshaw wouldn't have popped to quality batting so soon. the plan was for his batting training to cease when he reached quality, as i figured it would coincide with the arrival of my new spin bowling allrounder sensation. so for now, i'm just waiting on lennon to pop to superb batting before bringing in the new trainee.

this also gives my side 2 quality bats, which should become 3 in the next few weeks. this is great, as i think that my sides top order would be as good as most teams in bt world. we notched up a quality top order rating yesterday on a TIE, without Hamshaw in the team. now i'm wondering about my bowling. only 2 bowling nets being used at the moment. certainly makes me wonder if i'm doing the right thing for my team.
