How come you're training the first one in bowling?

 

[Robertinho]

I'm not, it's called Fielding training

Ohhhhh... right.

2 pops, bleh.

Hmm, I'm getting an error I've not had before on the Java thing. I can understand the Java code but not sure how what I've inputted is any different from what I did last week which worked.

I've taken out the Transfer Listed part of the pasted block...

Got four pops: two stamina, one concentration and one consistency. Was really hoping for Malik to pop in batting, but obviously he didn't. He's now had 11 weeks of batting training so he better pop soon.

8. Vimesh Malik - 18 yo, BT Rating=14,292
LH Batsman, LH Spin Bowler, strong form, fresh
(proficient batting form, superb bowling form)
A destructive player with superb leadership skills and worthless experience.
Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: mediocre Concentration: proficient
Bowling: respectable Consistency: competent
Fielding: respectable

Badley had the other stamina pop, Wynand the concentration.

Also, the best bowler in the West Indies popped in bowling again, quite frightening for me seeing his stats as he'll be in my league this season (although I played against him twice in season one, and he only got one wicket each time). Not at liberty to say what his bowling level is exactly, but suffice to say it's very impressive.

The sad thing is Malik's better than my best bowler.

Interesting how Malik is very similar but opposite to Dylan Dillon in my team who has respectable-respectable batting and mediocre-respectable spin bowling and I was also hoping for a pop in bowling as I think he's now had 12 bowling nets (3 were doubles tho, so more like 10.5 or something) now, he's one year younger than Malik tho (he'll also have mediocre stamina shortly as well).

I've decided to not bother going for gun young player to train with the money I got from Emmanuel, going to spend on the YP system and accumulate 10k+ weekly profit in interest.

As long as you make sure they've not been replaced by a human being just before the game I think you can take the risk...

 

[bumpuss]

ah bugger, my bro signed up another account, after we were arguin bit (cos he is too young too play). It was from the same comp, so now my account is locked. They sent a mail and i replied telling them delete my bro's application and keep my team, hopefully all goes well.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Could be a surprise packet. I think I'll go normal. Don't want to risk him buying some new player and killing me.

Should just TIE, you're not going to lose to a bot. The only advantage in making the second round of the cup is that you get gate receipts from the next round, so you may as well TIE to get your fitness higher for your league matches.

I think I'm going to TIE at least the first five rounds or so of the cup and rest Cuss as much as reasonably possible as his fitness really needs a boost. Should be able to rest him in league matches against bots as well, so hopefully he'll be back to normal fairly soon.

Interesting how Malik is very similar but opposite to Dylan Dillon in my team who has respectable-respectable batting and mediocre-respectable spin bowling and I was also hoping for a pop in bowling as I think he's now had 12 bowling nets (3 were doubles tho, so more like 10.5 or something) now, he's one year younger than Malik tho (he'll also have mediocre stamina shortly as well).

You'll probably get more use out of him this season when the advanced bowling orders are introduced. At the moment only bowling allrounders are really useful as they have to bowl a full quota, but the addition of a sixth bowler should change that a bit. There's also less of a fitness/stamina hit on bowling allrounders (assuming they're not batting in the top order), but again that should change next season with the option (I assume) to let players bowl only five overs.

Had my eye on this guy on the transfer list, I was thinking that I could sell Berry for 500k+ and Gillete (my keeper) for 300k+ and this guy could essentially replace both, provided I could get him for 800k or so. He's shot up to 860k overnight though, so not really going to happen.

I'll probably list Berry tonight for a silly amount and hope that I get a bid, as I really want to replace him with a better batsman.

Sorry about the repost, but can anyone tell me how close this guy is to popping?
