Well you need to buy a wicketkeeper-batsman obviously. What age depends on whether you think you can spare nets or not.

A lot of low stamina, that needs work.

B Mohammed*
G Kartikeyan
S Chanderpaul
G Woodward (RM)
D Nobel
D Bhutia
T Islam (RM)
S Abdul kadir (RF)
G Padayachie+
S Malik (RS)
J Kiely (RF)

Is what I would go for. I think it might be an idea to buy a respectable or proficent bat with stamina, and eventually someone to replace Kiely.

Chanderpaul will develop very well with Mohammed, and those 2 should (when they're fully rounded) open the batting, and be the two big bats you want. Padayachie will be good, should be a very nice keeper, and can come in at 8 or 9.

Malik's your gun bowler, and don't underestimate Woodward.

Cheers. Having a massive clearout at the moment, so I hope to collect enough money out of all the trash that I'm throwing out to buy one or two players. Really don't have room to train anyone else until atleast the season after next, so I'll have to look at complete players.

I normally don't bat Woodward that high because of his low stamina, he's usually knackered after bowling ten overs. Bhutia's always set on attacking so he can hit out and get out when he needs to.

Kiely's one just waiting to be dumped, even if i get a respectable with high enough secondaries, he's on his way.

Not too bad a starting line-up, I would give Siyabonga a batting and fitness net - they then should be this at the end of the season or just after:

Matthew Siyabonga - 20 yo, BT Rating=6,030
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, changeable
A defensive player with worthless leadership skills and worthless experience.
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: strong Concentration: feeble
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: competent
Fielding: feeble

I'd keep going with the batting net after that and the fitness training til they're competent stamina say. He'll be a huge performer and asset for you over the next two seasons. Other than that I'd just recommend the usual stuff I've said before about buying in some trainees as you don't really have anyone else who warrants training (other than the odd fitness net).

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Gray and Mcmahon clutch players really.

Livera and Reimann to get a batting net each. Not entirely sure what to do with Pine.
 

NZTailender

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Also, I want to get myself an all-rounder...I never had one in my last side and my attempts to train players into being one failed. Would it be worth it to spend a bit of cash on a mediocre bat/bowl 17 year old and give him a net of each?
 
if your looking at that so called "All- Rounder" the first player Pine is basically it Mchmahon is a nice and handy buy but im sure yo ucould find a lot better players that what you have just bought.

Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: mediocre Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: worthless Consistency: worthless
Fielding: worthless

look for players similar to the one above any player who is competent also would suit just fine and allow one level leniency on Stamina so Feeble would Probably just be acceptable.

These players can be easily found on the market for 20-30k at the most so invest in better playyers now and youll get results later

Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
You can probably get med/med all-rounders for practically nothing so there are probably better ones going reasonably cheap somewhere. When the next wave of YPs come out on Saturday note the ones you like (as in high wages and decent secondaries). If you don't know what are high wages for various stats just post guys on here you're interested in.
 

Scaly piscine

Yea but there are secondaries that add to the wages as well, for instance this guy looks high:

Marc Reimann (939296)

Plays For: Tawonga Tigers

Wages: £385 p/w
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: mediocre Concentration: feeble
Bowling: worthless Consistency: abysmal

But if the competent stamina is high then he's practically bottom mediocre batting.

Not the best starting lineup, unfortunately - they're old, and they're not very good! However, you've got enough bowlers, which is definitely a start, and a decent WK (or two!). No all-rounders, unfortunately.

The rest are useless. Try and sell them for pennies, I reckon, or just fire them if that doesn't work. You might get some cash for Kgotso, too.

Siyabonga and Sandhu would definitely benefit from some stamina training. So would Fordham, Goddard, Tiisetso and Campbell, but they're older - I don't know how much longer it takes to train up older players' fitness.

Tiisetso, Siyabonga and Goddard could all use some extra conc/cons, so maybe fielding nets for them.

Siyabonga, Sandhu, Beck and Brayley are the only players I'd even think about training in primaries...and to be honest, I wouldn't bother with the last two. Siyabonga may end up your gun batsmen for quite some time.

Your best bet would be to scour the transfer market for 17/18yo triple-mediocres (or better) - from what I've seen, they're dirt cheap. Slap some nets on them, and you'll have some decent players in a season's time.

Hope that gives you some ideas. Good luck!

BTW, I've finally found my "starting squad" spreadsheet. They weren't all that good, but they were young. After a bit of training, five of the players are still in my first XI - including my two strike bowlers (Brooker and Hirst) and gun batsman (Reed, who's in the CW 1st XI)!
