I would give him for free, but I can't. So $1000 or whatever he goes for is fine. I'll list him now.

Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: worthless Batting: worthless Concentration: feeble Bowling: mediocre Consistency: competent Fielding: feeble I had a guy who was Competent in bowling, now I get this dude. I've got him in the nets, but is he worth it? Only young. |

You can find mid-to-old competent-to-respectable players for under 10k everywhere.
Trainee-wise, 17yo med/comps are everywhere again for around 5k.

How important is stamina training? I have 10 net sessions, and 4 are batting, 4 are bowling, 1 wicketkeeping and 1 fielding. If I fire a batting coach and a bowling coach, and hire stamina coaches, would it be better than the batting and bowling coaches? I have 17 year olds on my batting and 17 year olds and a 18 year old.

What should these players be on or is that wrong? Also, I don't do any stamina training, should I bring that in and sacrifice something here? |

Well, there you go. I reckon a MINIMUM trainee should be a 17yo mediocre/competent.

Seriously, you NEED secondary skills and stamina -- there's no point having a decent bat if he's got not concentration, and without any stamina, he's going to get knackered after about 5 runs. BTW, have you employed some Sports Psychologists? Just checking -- you need them, or you won't get any secondary boosts from your primary nets. Quote:

Trust me -- with those trainees, you're not going to be much better in 2 seasons' time than you are now. With decent ones, you'll have a clutch of Respectable+ players with decent conc/cons and stamina, who should start winning you the odd game. |

I've went for about 15 players in the past day, and I haven't got 1. The better players I'm going for now are bloody hard to get, especially with a different school and sleep routine to lots of other users, especially from different countries and who don't go to school or have a job, or who have way more free time than me. |
