Really, you'd take the one or two seasons of better going then the team of stars? Amazing.
Yep. All I really need is two gun bowlers, then I can get by on experience, secondaries and prize money for a few seasons without having to worry about ridiculous wages. Not having to worry about half of my team disappearing for nats every few weeks is nice too.

Just pulled this guy from the youth training programme:

Wage $1,076 Rating 15,862

First time that I've pulled a "reasonable" batsman, he's got Gifted Technique and he's only 16! Would he be worth a few bob? Or if I was to train him in batting, how good would be be by 20?

Also, if I train him in "Batting" does he still get the "Technique Training Bonus" from his Talent?

Personally I'd look to sell him early next season, it just depends if his batting pops quickly enough to get him up to reliable by then.

His experience and endurance are awful and bar the primary everything else is only moderate at best. You should get maybe a million for him and you can buy someone with as a similar primary but who's much more rounded and therefore much better.

Yea he had home pitch, uneven and overcast. Tactics worked beautifully, I kept wickets in hand and completely murdered his bowling at the end - hit 120 off the last 10 I think. Ended up with 264-6. After a long patch of the hyper-aggression bull**** he got skittled for 189.

Beat him in the T20 on Tuesday.

I'm 4-0 against him now.

Appalling secondaries, so I didn't think I'd waste training time on him. Up for $100k. Hopefully I'll get that as he's 16.

I'd pulled sweet FA up until now though. Strange to get a pair two weeks in a row. The second one is undoubtably not as good a player though, given the talent doesn't match the skill.

Need the cash though - pretty destitute otherwise. :happy:

He's Sri Lankan as well. Are you still U-19 Manager?

DIdnt even see that. Yeah im the U19 manager, but probably wont get re-elected. I assume he will be called up eventually though. Assuming he is trained right.
