Are there still going to have training caps for 22 players. Might have to start selling some of my average 18yo, so I can still train 16yo and 17yo then.
I think the soft caps are staying at 20 for seniors and 25 for youths, bear in mind tho that anyone who's 18 or younger this season and is in the seniors gets automatically moved back into the youth squad at the end of this season. I've currently 3 players in that situation and I'll probably promote another guy in the next couple of weeks.

First reliable primary today. Shame he has ordinary technique though.

Also had a seamer pop to reasonable/reasonable. So now I will have about five seamers at that level with no xp. Yay.

1 x cabable bat (20yo)
1 x cabable bowl (19yo)
1 x reasonable bat (20yo)
1 x reasonable bat (19yo)
1 x average endurance
1 x average technique

A couple xp pops as well. Another decent. Both batting pops were on keeper batsmen.

Two pops to reasonable endurance and one to ordinary endurance (fielder specialist).
One bowling pop (capable)
One technique pop (capable)
One power pop (average)
One experience pop (poor)


Now have 2 of my first team with capable endurance, 6 with reasonable, 2 average and 1 ordinary (should be average next week or so).

I've been wondering if others are concentrating on endurance too, it trains fairly quickly.

1 x reliable
8 x reasonable
7 x average
1 x ordinary

The ordinary was a guy that I promoted from my youth team, I'll leave him as that until his bowling pops to accomplished about mid season.

Also, if everyone who hasn't voted yet wants to give me a pity vote, I'm running for Australia NT manager.


Playing a bot, decided to bat my ordinary bat, average technique, capable spin bowler at 5. He ended up 188* (144) while my capable-ordinary and reasonable-ordinary opening bats got out for 0 and 4 respectively.

my seconds:

Batting - Top Order: 4,503
Batting - Middle Order: 4,283
Batting - Tail: 3,113
Bowling - Seam: 2,912 (4)
Bowling - Spin: 4,327 (6)
Fielding/Keeping: 4,420
Overall: 76,548

Pretty shabby, I'll admit. Though I would probably have fielded a better opening bowler if I played a human. More than enough to win though.

Lost my 2nd game of year, tired a few of back up reasonable players and they failed. Fitness is hurting bad, kind of hope I get knocked out of the cup tommorrow.

Anyone know where I can find some training guides or general tips on playing the game? Might start taking it a bit serious if I know what I'm doing.

Won by 147 runs, my spinners taking a combined 9-51 off 16 overs. Quite happy with my ratings, my overall rating is worth a bit more than that as I was bowling heavy and had a rubbish tail.

Just joined this yesterday, got assigned a team today. Having a match right now as well, going pretty good guns against some computer team.

best thing is I got my mate to sign up as well and our teams are in the same league for EVERYTHING so there will be some epic banter and rivalries going on.
