Canning shaping up very well. He's currently on two fitness, two batting, two bowling and a fielding net.
Edit:
at how much he dropped in fitness! He was at least energetic before!

PY, i joined the League.. it also says i have a first match this weekend.. is it worth playing still or what? and how do u find out yur ranking and so forth..PY said:Join the league or the Cup?
I'm afraid the Cup has begun so it won't be possible for you to join in that at the moment. But another one will be run near the beginning of the new season which I believe will start around the start of May-ish.
Sorry!
sorry about asking u all these questions, but i don't know anyone who would be able to help me.. as u are the only one who responded me..
i somehow managed to gather this information, if this could help u define me stuff...

Just got a 20yo strong/proficient batsman for 582k, trying to fill out my middle order a bit. The main reason he didn't go for a lot more is that he only popped to strong yesterday, so he appeared on the transfer market as a proficient batsman (had to click on his player page to see that he'd popped). Got Spin obviously didn't notice him. 
Anyway he just needs some stamina (feeble atm) and should be a decent no. 4 or 5, and I think I could re-sell him later in the season for 1 mil or more if I needed to.
I was thinking about getting the quality batsman on the market at the moment (noticed a couple of people from here bidding on him) but wanted to have enough money leftover to get a pretty gun bowler. Should still have enough to get the kind of bowler I'm looking for - ideally I'd like a strong bowler with proficient+ stamina, don't really care if they're of a trainable age or not, just need a solid bowler with high stamina before FC starts. Will probably continue to train Badley and Malik in bowling if I don't buy another bowling trainee, they'll both be 20 by next season but they should be good enough by then to justify getting primary nets.

Training was a bit of an ugly bird for me - You'd take it, and probably enjoy it, just so long as there was nothing else on offer and none of your mates found out, but you know in your heart of hearts that you could really have done much better. The highlight was Bewers popping to Feeb Bat after just one batting net, so my hunch about him having a little something about him willow-in-hand has been born out. Although not entirely sure what to do with him now, given that he's unlikely to ever bat much higher than No.8/9 in my order then I guess the sensible thing would be to quit while I'm ahead and transfer his batting net elsewhere.
The only other pop was Mullins to Feeb Conc, which is useful as I've decided to rack up his Stam and Batting and thrust him into the breach as opening bat, although I was hoping that he'd reach Strong Cons before pulling his fielding net, but beggars can't wear Levis - Well accept when I gave a few pairs away to the beggars outside my hotel in India, in order to make additional room in my case for Marlborough Lights at 80p a pack! Who was I kidding that I was ever going to be a 30 inch waist again anyway?!
But I digress! Now I've made the decision to flog the recklessly irresponsible Haldane for a grotesque profit, it leaves me with the dilemma of with whom do I replace him as opener? Mullins is about the only candidate, having the right brand of a steady temperament, and passable Stam and Conc. He's no more than a week or so away from Resp Bat, so hopefully I can get him up to Prof before pulling his net, which should be enough to hold up an end while Staveley does his stuff. The only worry is how much opening the batting as well as bowling ten overs is going to mullah his fitness? What sort of Stam level do you think I'm going to have to get him up to in order to cope? - I was thinking that hopefully Comp would do it, but do you think it'd need to be more than that?
Mind you, Mullins had a rather inauspicious start to his opening career in my friendly on Sunday, as the 'Gurs' Golden Boy recorded what I think could have been the slowest Battrick innings of all time. He sleep walked his way to 68 off 141 balls, and in the process single-handedly managed to precipitate an humiliating defeat against a team I should have put to bed without breaking sweat. I know that the perceived wisdom for this sluggishness would be hitting the Stam Wall, but A, With Feeb Stam, he's hardly the worst tub-a-lard in my team, B, He then went on to bowl 10/2/31/0, so nowt much up with his Stam there, and C, previously when I've had players hit the Stam Wall, they've raced to 20/30, and then stopped dead, but Mullins was pedestrian from the outset, he just never got any momentum going.
Anyway, if my recent run of form has taught me anything it's that my batting is woefully inadequate in comparison to my competitors. So I've decided that Haldane and Burke are going on the transfer market for starting prices of £150k and £130K respectively, to provide a transfer kitty which I'll chuck another £100K or so into in order to try and pick up a strong/Sup, or maybe a younger Prof batsman. It does mean that I'll have to revert back to playing Crick, Comp RFM, but with an economy of 3.91, on present form, he's probably pushing Burke for his place in any case. Also, with Mullins moving up to open, I'll have to recall Wynne-Willson, Low/Mid Comp, to bat at No.7 - But I was always going to have to make sacrifices somewhere in order to address the batting situation, and hopefully with a stronger top order I won't reach No7 as often in any case.
But before I can do any of that Haldane has got to pop to Resp bat! I think he must have been mitching training, as after two weeks of one net as a 17yo, and twelve weeks of one net at 18yo, he still hasn't had one solitary poxy pop. Is this some kind'a record?
Oh, one footnote, my most humble apologies to the Rt. Rev James, if my liberal use of the Swansea vernacular has offended him in any way. I am of course available for him to hear my confession at his convenience. But seriously, if you are indeed the Cricketweb owner, then fair enough, it's your site and your rules, I'll rephrase any more colourful metaphors in future posts. And I hope I haven't offended any of you, my only intentions were to glean some much-needed Battrick advice, and hopefully spread a little light entertainment along the way.
