Mpungose will become fast. Moore is my planned opening bowler with Lenon (NBS) in combination. Opperman I was planning to take to MF/FM (unsure) for his reverse trait. I am a bit wary about training high movement bowlers to high speed after my experience with Burger at the TMOs.A couple of options: mid-range pitch, or convert all your mediums to quicks and then play a dry one.
This is an interesting analysis on these two picks.I have 2 standouts in my youth pull this week
1 Batting avg 52.47 left handed neutral - bowling avg 105.58 right handed paceman fielding 0.15
2 Batting 55..46 right handed negative - bowling avg 11.74 right handed seamer fielding 0.15
I know it seems a no brainer - choose 2 but.... what if that is a greedy trap? so it is more likely if you get shown as good at two things they have sprad the skills and they will be mediocre at both. whilst if all the skill is focused on one thing there is more chance it is good
Or do i just see each result as and isolated event (like tossing a coin) in which case there is a 40% chance 1 is a good bat and 95% chance they are a bad bowler
And 40% chance 2 is a good bat and 40% chance they are a good bowler
So still choose 2 because i have 2 chances instead of 1
What do you think??????????????????
b tw this is why i made a suggestion on the board 2 years ago that once you chosen it would be fun to see what the abilities of th eother 4 had been jusst to see if you got it right or wrong (its human nature to know - like any popular quiz programme based on making a chance choice)Ok my sample size of mangers of 2 is 50/50 gonna need another intervention...!!!
TNT pick today was a 54 avg bat / 69 avg bowler…
Lol I know you are right - I am looking for the appliance of science when this is just an old village fairground coconut shy! One of them is a Bangladeshi so I should do the decent thing - and if he is any good Id rather be dealing with our esteemed Bangladeshi Manager and new assistants than the England camp!TNT pick today was a 54 avg bat / 69 avg bowler…
Roll a dice it probably presents a better chance to pick the “correct” one…
which name do you prefer?!
Just looked at the TM based - i think i may be undervaluing him at 5k based on current sales!ok to put you out of your misery he is POT - 32 BAT (10,10,12) 43 BOWL (18,9,16) medium pacer. Shame he wasn't a couple more on the bowling front' although the mix is quite good with 18 Accuracy . He as 'PoT 16 Stamina and 8 fielding with 6 captaincy at the moment
I think though he is a bit of a duplication for Geese of what we already have - do you think he would sell? (and ofc how much? $1-5k?)
He would be a decent No.9 but not an All Rounder and I guess it is better to be weighted in line and length- he has flight and guile (never know if that is good or bad!) and poker faced which i guess is a decent fit with 16 variation
Would you keep him ? and what would you do with him? Given that Gees play in Div 2 and his characteristics are a good fit perhaps I am being too hard on him - all opinions most welcome!!
If you talking about McGrath… big difference between 47 and 43 pot. Also decent fielding and stamina. But the reason I payed above market price was firstly the left arm and secondly the 12 captaincy. He will be my dev captain from now on and will receive pace training until he gets to minimum of FM. For me he is a left arm Passmore with greater skills.Just looked at the TM based - i think i may be undervaluing him at 5k based on current sales!
I was thinking of him but didn't mention his name as bidding was live. I am not saying you payment for him was too high just there a number of smiliaraities to my chap in terms of bowling and bowling split which means 5k is possibly too low an estimate as he sold for 525kIf you talking about McGrath… big difference between 47 and 43 pot.

I do think I payed over the top for him… if his pace had already been increased then it might of been okay. I think someone less interested kept pushing the price up. But I really was willing to pay above board for the captaincy. It means I can hopefully have him at 14+ by the time he gets to senior cricket.I would rather have your guy all day every day of course but my point was he gives me hope that I might sell the pull for more than 5k! as your sale is a legitimate market rate for the sale of a player i can see some comparative with
nah, recovery only starts after injury is overKamal’s fitness hasn’t moved from 5% in a week or longer. He injured but should be recovering, no?
