what do people think of this guy, i promoted him from academy last month, he's played one game and bowled 10-3-20-0. Do you think he is worth persisting with? the tools all say he isn't amongst my best 5 bowlers but looking at my stats my first 4 bowlers have ave os 13.11, 18, 21.22 and 23.82 respectively whilst my 5th bowler is either 43.68 or 111, so i was thinking of giving him a go?
wooo a decent youth academy player...all I got were crap players!

Picked up this guy for 7000, good backup imo - train his bowling as he has decent conc and ok consis and stamina, fielding and batting need work though

Just bought this guy for 16k:

Code:
Bryan Hill (307183)
LH Batsman, LH Spin Bowler, respectable form, Healthy
A cautious player with respectable leadership skills and abysmal experience.

Plays For:	Asterix XI
Nationality:	England
Age: 	17 Years Old
Battrick Rating:	1,189
Wages:	£344 p/w
 
Stamina: 	woeful 	Wicket Keeping: 	abysmal
Batting: 	abysmal 	Concentration: 	abysmal
Bowling: 	mediocre 	Consistency: 	abysmal
Fielding: 	woeful
Fairly happy with that, 16k isn't really very much considering I spend 12k on my youth academy every week and usually get nothing in return, and 17yo's are usually more expensive. A spinner is really the only thing I need at the moment, anyway. Quite annoyed though that an 18yo respectable spinner went for only 80k last night - I would've bought him if I was up at that time.

A 17yo with two coaches should pop about once every seven or eight weeks, so with a little luck I'll have a respectable spinner by the end of this season, and he should be at least strong (hopefully superb or quality) by the time he's 20. I don't think I'll play him in my starting XI until he's competent, though (not in a league match, anyway).

My only other spinner has almost identical ratings (mediocre bowler, woeful stamina and consistency, worthless batting), except he's 19 so less trainable. I'll probably sell him soon, and if I can get 16k or more I'll be very happy with the trade. Only problem is working out where I'm going to find two training slots for my new player...

How are you guys going in the game today?

I lost the toss and was sent in, and they're now 5/102 off 34. Heard took 7/2/10/3 in his opening spell, Cave 5/0/14/1, and Andrew, my new allrounder who also opens the batting just finished his 10 overs, 1/16.

I got my 1st team last week and am currently playing my 1st game and WHAT A START!!!

Won the toss and batted on a wicket which was supposedly very very green...

My boys hit 3/356 from my 50 overs with both openers hitting over 140, and in reply the opposition are reeling at 4/19 after 8....

What a start!!! im going all the way!!!

Nice, Blewy. I'm guesing you're up against bots, which are a bit easier, but that's still really good.

After they made 180/9, I'm currently 97/1 off 12, with Andrew, fresh from his 10 over spell of 1/16, is 65* off 45, and Kenna made 24 before being bowled.

Haha, sorry. You don't need any more bowlers anyway. :)

I'm pretty confident of losing my next league match. I'm up against a team which has won 20 of their last 21 matches, so it'd be a bit of an upset if I won. They don't seem to have any real stars, just a lot of very solid players. Their top five all average 66-98, and all the bowlers average around 25-30. I think my best bet is to bat first and hope Cuss and co. put up a massive target. Still undecided as to the composition of my bowling lineup at this stage though. I would play this match on 'go for it' but my team's fitness level isn't great right now.

Buy some proper bowlers, you really can't afford to have woeful bowlers in your starting XI.
