Whilst looking through the team history of my former side, I noticed this player kicked on well. Sold this trainee in June 2010 and he has gone on to play 116 ODI's for Zimbabwe for 4,987 runs at an average of 73.34.

Pulled on 0 ITS. Shame about the concentration and stamina.

Wouldn't have expected anyone to turn a mid-season pull into a NT player. Zim probably had a shortage of talent, or a manager determined to produce a NT star.
Mid-season 0 ITS Resp pulls are the worst. So tempting to train up but never really worth it.
I've trimmed my squad down to 14 players; although I plan to only use 13 of them in all my games. All bots so NBD if I play/train my kids to death. The Exp gains are worth it. Bought a Resp batsman and a Comp 17 year old spinner who can double up as my captain, so overall looking decent. Double netting 3 17 YOs and single netting 3 19 YOs. Next season I'll pull a max ITS 17 YO and put him on 3 nets in place of the 19 YOs. Will also save up cash so I can buy some replacements for the 30 YO Med/Meds in my starting XI.

A cautious RH batsman and a cautious RFM bowler. He has abysmal leadership skills and worthless experience. He favours Hard and Fast Pitches but has no trait.
He currently has superb batting form, proficient bowling form and fresh fitness.
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: worthless

Fielding: competent
Happy with that, have two prof+ 17yo bats on two nets, should alleviate my batting fragility in the coming seasons quite nicely.

Thinking of getting back into this, but I don't remember ****.
- What's with the waiting/available numbers on the signup screen? If there are a thousand teams available, why do I have to wait?
- Should I sign up now or wait? What point of the season are we at right now?
- FC or no FC? I seem to have made posts in this subforum about FC being ****ed, but enjoying the gate receipts.

1) The GM's need to approve all signups I think. I mean I haven't signed up for a BT account since 2005 so I wouldn't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure it takes barely any time at all.
2) We're like 2/3rds to 3/4ths through the season. Don't see why signing up now would be a bad idea, you'd likely be in a bot league and ready to smash yourself some teams and gather gate receipts.
3) I'd go with an FC country for sure. Games are a bit weird but they give you more orders to play with and give you competitive games during the week that aren't friendlies. Plus the cash is nice. That said if you pick an FC nation it'll be much harder to make it to the top of your OD leagues if you decide to stick with it.

New season underway soon.
Made some massive improvements to my squad. Gonna have 2 17 YOs on 3 nets each and 3 18 YOs on 1 net each, with 1 stamina net to be shared amongst all the players.
Got no 30 year olds, and quite a few Comp/Resp players now. Also a 15,000 capacity stadium is in the works. Not bad for half a season I reckon. Can't wait to GFI on a full strength XI and see how they go

I have not made many changes to my side. The prize money from winning the first class and one day leagues will push my team towards a bank balance of £1.6million and maximum interest. After this I will start to consider stadium expansion and replacing some of the starter squad.
My training plan is to build slow, injecting a new trainee each season. The plan for S33 is as follows:
2 x 18 YO's on 3 nets (2 x primary, 1 x stamina)
1 x 18 YO on 4 nets (2 x primary, 1 x stamina, 1 x fielding)
