3 and bit levels (assuming they didn't start as a lowest respectable/mediocre) over about 25 weeks is doable with lots of training. They probably got 3 batting and 3 bowling nets (maybe even 4) which would half the usual training time, so we're talking about 7-8 weeks a pop. Personally I don't think such an approach is worthwhile yet - maybe in 2-3 seasons when teams could maybe manage significantly more than 1 million at a time.

I think he probably would've started a little higher - Gillespie started out as proficient/proficient and would be a lot better by now had he been a little younger so I could train him.

Hmm, this guy I found was only 18 himself though? Might have started at a 17 yo proficient though I guess.
Not sure why that's a problem - you could get an 18yo proficient to strong in 5-6 weeks with three coaches, 7-8 with two. There are a lot of 17/18yo strong/superb players around at the moment with wages of only £1,000-1,500.

Didn't realise it only took that short amount of time to pop if you put them on multiple sessions.

Don't they get knackered quickly doing that though? As you can tell, I have very little knowledge of how the game works. :)

chasing 256 to win playing on TIE, usual good start then players decide to make a game of it by hardly scoring in the middle overs 176-1 after 36-2, NRR required climbing, was down at 4.6 at one point now nearing 6

It doesn't seem to have a huge effect. I've got guys on 3/4 nets who are getting by okay. With no FC games next season I don't think fitness will be that much of a consideration, but we'll see.

Thought I'd struggle today since I GFI'd last week, but we're doing pretty well. I think they might be TIEing. Lost the toss, they're batting and they're 33-4 after 11 overs. Gillespie back in form, taking all the wickets so far. I usually use 'sets of 5' bowling orders, but Gillespie is still bowling for some reason so I must've put the wrong thing in. Worked in my favour though as he took another wicket in his sixth over. :)

Edit: Gillespie's just got his fifth wicket, ninth five-wicket haul for him and his sixth this season.

Burlington City: 98/10 (27.5)
Gillespie 5-19, Malik 3-27, Male 2-5

Asterix XI: 99/3 (27.3)
Berry 37*, Bridge 29*

MotM:
Gillespie (obviously)

Easy win in the end, though Cuss got out for 4. :-O We were a bit slow in the run chase, but NRR is pretty irrelevant to my situation. Surprised to win that easily given the reporter's summary, we had better batting but the bowling was exactly the same. We dropped a bit from last week due to the GFI (on low fitness now) but not as much as I thought we would.
Code:
  	[B]Burlington City 	Asterix XI[/B]
Top Order: 	respectable 	strong
Middle Order: 	feeble 	        competent
Lower Order: 	worthless 	abysmal
Seam Bowling: 	proficient 	proficient
Spin Bowling: 	competent 	competent
Fielding: 	mediocre 	mediocre
Need to win the next two matches and then the playoff to promote to div I, seriously considering playing on GFI for the next three matches. Will end up with nightmarish fitness, but will be reset next season.

With my current WK a 19 year old with woeful stamina, feeble bat, proficient concentration and mediocre keeping, should I keep (ha!) or sell this new guy?

Shame they didn't get pulled at the start of the season, with W/K training and batting they'd have ripped through the levels (feeble+/superb+ batting, proficient/strong keeping, mediocre+ consistency etc.) Anyway certainly keep this guy for the time being, if you want to sell give him some training and list him start of next season.

Seems the Indian teams suffer from a lack of surname diversity...some of PY's squad:

Dattatreya Abdul kadir
Yudhajit Abdul kadir
Rupak Abdul kadir

Rakesh Ahmed
Balamani Ahmed

Oojam Chanderpaul
Manoj Chanderpaul
Purushottam Chanderpaul
Devendra Chanderpaul
Sandeep Chanderpaul

Bhupen Malik
Deepak Malik
Niramitra Malik

Brijesh Singh
Geet Singh
Lokesh Singh

Must make the scorecards a bit confusing I imagine.
