Hard to sneak in as an allrounder. The only bowler he could outst (considering Louis, Lovegrove and Moodley are all remarkable, and Tuck should be near Quality with good secondaries) is Watkins, but Watkins has far superior secondaries. He's close though.

Should pop in keeping in the next 2-3 weeks and is now getting 2 batting nets - so by the end of the season they should be strong keeping and strong batting.

They? THEY?! For God's sake, Scaly, show the man some respect.

Gray is only getting 1 batting & 1 keeping at the moment. Secondaries don't add much to keeping (they, along with fielding, do combine with wicket keeping to give an overall wk ability, but as an Australian BT study found, have virtually no affect on their performance) so I'd probably take Gray. But if Armstrong gets to strong keeping & strong batting like you say, Gray would be pushing it to be, at best, Quality batting (prof keeping will come soon enough). Doubt it though.

That's quite low stamina for a gun bowler like that.

Thought you might have been with them being lively PFL. It's a bit of a catch-22 with the stamina, since training it knocks about a level off the PFL each week. This is where being a boring upper-mid table side for me means I can switch to 4-5 stamina nets a week towards the end of the season and safely train stamina whilst the PFL doesn't matter (or will recover on the off-season).

Moodley's career average is 6.87 these days.

I don't really play him much though. He and Hitish hardly ever play for me. They'll play the last game of the season to keep me in this division though.
