probably not, but like has always been the case real life players will be added through the draft...

Agreed.

Happy with A Goodwin and S Petley - there's potential, at least compared to the rest of the lot.

Hmm Happy that there seems to be a move away from uberrookies, but glad that A Freeman slipped through the net last year :p

Lancs rookies look fair enough, no stars but a couple of decent batsman. I'm sure George can find something to work with there.

Have to say im quite happy with our rookie only Mahela El Zabir got the potential to be something special and make the starting XI in the future, but the rest really add some real depth. Batting down to number 9, can't be bad at all, would have liked a seamer though, but i guess that Sri Lanka for you.

Queensland...Who I think have got the crappiest rookies in the bunch..but I digress. These people will improve right?
It all depends on their performances in the 2nd XI if they play... Go well, they will improve, go bad and they will get worse, however note that either way the effect will be high due to the low amount of games they have played up till now..

Mashonaland are pretty happy with A Bernard, who will hopefully mature into an effective allrounder in both forms.

Guyana are not all that unhappy with their rookies for Season 7. We are looking at Al Zabir to be promoted next season provided he has a good season, however the others are not out of contention at all. We are bitterly disapointed that no batsman were good enough to be promoted by our rookie coaches. However, if the talent isn't there, there's no point promoting them.

that was actually a bit unfortunate that you ended up with 5 bowlers, ill try to ensure that doesnt happen in future season...

Karachi are quite pleased with the rookies they recieved. B Monoghan and P Baker pinned as the ones to watch for the future. Also quite happy knowing that we'll never run short of keepers.

Yeah, should be able to slot into the second XI batting somewhere. De Villiers may be useful as a third seamer/fourth seamer given the conditions. Amarnath could get a run out when injuries take their toll.

Should probably play P Baker and I Aamer on rotation as the 2nd XI Keeper. See who develops the best.

K Kirsten and B Monaghan look like they turn into pretty useful OD bowlers.
