I reckon so - maybe underperforming bowlers would get pulled off (fnarr) more quickly by better captains.

If Cash is likely to be in your team for a while, you may as well keep going with him for a level or two - he's not a bad all-rounder, and his secondaries should improve quickly. No-one knows at what age skills will start to decrease, unfortunately

A. I'd tend to double-up on primary nets for key younger players, just to get make the most of the quicker primary skills training. Obviously, you still get some secondary benefit anyway. If you can get him to Remark++ (or even Wonderful) while he's 21, you'll be laughing. The secondaries can come later, although you'd get a few pops as it is.

Fair enough, but watch out - 'form' is temporary; class is permanent

If you do end up selling Greening, time it right and you'll get plenty of cash to bolster that bowling attack.
