Battrick - week 3 pops

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Had a real result today. I bought this all-rounder for 6,666,666 on Thursday. i now reckon I could sell him for 8.5m in 5 weeks, as he'll have another level of Stamina by then. Guy who sold him must have miscalculated his bowling !!

Bowling: remarkable Consistency: respectable
Fielding: woeful

He scored 29* off 19 balls and took 1-30 from his 10 overs in Fridays opening day win, and bowled 10 overs for 49 yesterday. Only prob I now have is his PFL, I'm going to have to manage his games quite carefully. He won't play either of the next 2 league games, as they are games I'm going to lose and win comfortably, so he might get a run in next Sunday's cup game if he's lucky.

I've had one pop:

20. Dave Granville - 20 yo, BT Rating=65,066
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, fresh
A destructive player with woeful leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: strong Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: remarkable Concentration: quality
Bowling: remarkable Consistency: superb
Fielding: woeful

And many form movements. It can move drastically as shown on my bowler, Richard Deane, whose superb batting form has moved to proficient, and his bowling has (thankfully) moved from strong to superb. My batsmen's forms good, but only 2 bowlers have superb form at the moment, the rest on strong.

two of my older guys popped a level of stamina, which lets me pass the nets onto the trainees. other than that, only one was this:

Scott Rautenbach (1245078)
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, strong batting form, woeful bowling form, sublime
An attacking player with mediocre leadership skills and abysmal experience.

Plays For: Pettefershire CCC
Nationality: England
Age: 21 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 4,522 (+156)
Wages: £511 p/w
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: mediocre
Batting: mediocre Concentration: competent
Bowling: worthless Consistency: worthless
Fielding: worthless

realised a couple of weeks ago he was actually a better WK than the guy i'd had there, so he's on a keeping and fielding net. Form changes are all over the place.

 

[Grayson]

I wouldn't bother with his keeping at 21 years old. You could pick up a mediocre bat, stam, conc and keeping 17 year old for not too much I'd imagine.

 

[loz]

yeah i know, but i've developed a foolhardy sentimental attachment to him.

[Napster]

absolutely bugger-all

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

No pops due for 7 (seven) weeks, at least in primaries. Should have a secondary pop in a fortnight, and a further one the week after that.

Tis a game of patience.

Oh. Cheers.

I was actually referring to my team, but its a game of patience for us all as like hattrick its all about long-term planning.

I'm sure you are aware that a 17 year old on one batting or bowling net will take 11 to 12 weeks to pop, so even if you train the optimum age with the most efficient strategy (1 net a week equates to 11nets needed for one pop, as compared to the 14 nets needed for one pop at 2x nets a week), you'll average less than one pop per week.

Also pulled a high competent 17yo bat so can train to respectable and sell after Sajjad pops in batting.

Also had the England U-19 scouts sniffing around Cunningham but I doubt he's anywhere near close enough.

What's he on ? 2 x bat, 1 x field / stamina ?

 

[MrB]

Yep. There will be too many out there with 3 batting nets.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Yep. There will be too many out there with 3 batting nets.

You're probably right, but he wouldn't be a million miles away, he'll be Wonderful midway through his 19th year...

 

[The General]

Yeah i had a message about Tapp and he is okay-ish but nowt special.

Good week for me. Raven popped in bowling. Guy's fitness is improving so i might go for a bowling attack of Jackman, Raven, Guy, Joey K and Titterton and see how that goes.

Browne ( the WK ) also popped to prof batt and i also had another pop somewhere but cannae remember where!

They are doing a general scout round after the elections. I've had them on about Evelyn and Schoeman, neither of whom I would guess, are anywhere near good enough.
