ODI PLAYER - MJ Robbins - 56.33, brilliant.
ROOKIE - T Mamesh - 40.67, good stuff.
ODI PLAYER - CR Butler - 34.00, not bad.
ROOKIE - AS Das - 32.67, not bad.
ROOKIE - S Jasotharan - 32.00, not bad, although only two games played.
ODI PLAYER - SA Bennett - 29.80, good for an all rounder.
ODI PLAYER - LA Camps - 28.25, good for an all rounder.

Seems to me that, aside from two ODI players who are just having a bad season, everything is pretty much as you want it. The experience system that has been introduced is working quite well, at least in A-List, and that, marc, is where I was concerned last season, as it's the area that I'm most tied to when it comes to stats checking. Looking at the FC, the last time I checked only four rookies made the top 40 bats, so I don't know what the big deal is there. But yes, although last season I tended to agree (although was never as whiney as you are, and actually bothered to produce solutions rather than merely complaincomplaincomplain) that rookies were dominant, what with Dauth obliterating everyone, I feel that with the introduced experience system, the facts have now changed and rookie power no longer exists there. That, and not the fact that I've moved to CW Colts, is why I've changed opinion.

EDIT: G Nayak averages lower than NS Pickup this season with the bat in OD, despite Pickup being an established #11 and Nayak being a batsman. Does this mean that we have the opposite or rookie power?
