Looks like they're carrying the form of Swamibapa CC through to the Kenya team.

Oh and time for FTP to be a sub-forum methinks.

We lose and its shows why I generally do not give Safi Souza the new cherry.

 

[Majin]

Won a fairly epic friendly by one wicket with one over to go for my youth team against my mates team today, looked dead and buried chasing 147 on a sticky wicket and were down at 93/7 but then my new signing bowler and my accidental #9 who is an atrocious bat put on a partnership of 42 with the atrocious guy scoring 24 which was great. Then in the 37th over both of them got out leaving us on 136/9 with #10 and 11 in, the bowler was a spinner that I had attempted to buy but my failure friend stole off me and we smashed the 11 runs needed off him, 6 off the penultimate ball of the over to all but win it. Loved it so much.

1 17yo bat to reasonable
1 18yo bat to avg(keeper)
1 18yo bowler to avg(all rounder)
2 technique pops

 

[chaminda_00]

Had a few pops, including a 18yo (Gifted batsmen) to reilable. Will get his stamina so it doesn't impact a potential U19 selection. Knowing my luck he will still miss out.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Two batting pops and a duff YP. Oh well.

At least one of the batting pops was a skilled batter up to capable batting - good skilled players seem to be very effective.

[Nate]

Does power = stamina?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Does power = stamina?

No, endurance does.

Power apparently has an effect on strike rate, but it's not very large.

 

[Nate]

...

bogus.

 

[EARLOBE]

When you train endurance it trains power at the same time though.

 

[Nate]

So do I use fitness training for it?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

So do I use fitness training for it?

's right.

Strength if you absolutely want power, which trains a little endurance too.

 

[Nate]

Sweet, cheers.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Power comes into the equation if the player is a seam bowler - where it seems to be fairly important.

2.3	1	Sutherland to Duwa : Pushed away through extra cover for a comfortable single.
2.2	.	Sutherland to Duwa : [great fielding] Stunning reflexes from Sutherland to prevent that straight drive going past him. That saved at least a couple of runs.

1.5	[B]W	[/B]Dilley to Odhiambo : Gone! Sharp bouncer from Dilley and it nicks the glove on the way through, Benjamin makes no mistake and the umpires raises a pudgy finger. Lostwalleti consoles Odhiambo. A near unplayable delivery.

1.5	wd	Dilley to Odhiambo : Very wide. Well taken by Benjamin.

1.3	.	Dilley to Odhiambo : Short one, hit the bat handle, and drops safe. Odhiambo didn't know where it was, and didn't run. It could have gone anywhere that one. Wicked delivery from Dilley.
1.2	[B]W	[/B]Dilley to Gama Pinto : Short of a length, Gama Pinto goes back instead of going forward and misses it completely. The ball knocks back the stumps.

Bloody Hell this was meant to be a routine victory

Going to start cutting my squad down to size. IIRC there's a listing fee; what's the lowest skill level I should bother putting on the market? Is there a limit on the number of players I can promote to the senior squad at any time?

The listing fee is 1,000. Think ordinaries with decent sideskills or averages usually go for that.

Apart from the training efficiency hit, determined by how many more than 20 you have in the senior squad on Thursday, then no.

Not until you're reduced to 12 players in your youth team.
