not quite the bumper week i was hoping for, but some useful pops nonetheless.

Ron Horsfield - 17 yo, BT Rating=7,776
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A steady player with mediocre leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: competent Concentration: competent

Fielding: woeful

An attacking player with mediocre leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: competent
Batting: competent Concentration: respectable
Bowling: worthless Consistency: abysmal
Fielding: abysmal

had a spare batting net for a couple of weeks so stuck it on Rautenbach, managed to get batting and conc pops out of him in that time. pretty sure my trainee spinner is due to pop to prof in the next couple of weeks too.
 
I got a fielding and consistency pop on Rennie, nothing else. Must be due 4-5 primary pops before the season's out, will be quite stronger for next season.

Rennie's consistency is now woeful, so one more pop in that and he will probably bowl a little bit in FC. He will bring us up to 6 bowlers, which is adequate for next season, even if the bowling isn't too strong.
 
Had the following, so he'll be quite handy by the time he finishes his training.

I'm amazed you've never trained Evelyn in fielding, Allan said WK's need fielding and consistency.

I've never really had the nets to do it.

I think that's only really come out over the last 2 season, by which time it's been too late.

Mrs BB had a right touch with her W/K, she pulled one with Proficient fielding:cry:
 
This pop hopefully means that Gamage stops being crap with the bat.

You might just need to move him about the order a bit, there's no reason why Superb / Quality shouldn't get stackloads of runs.
 
Exactly. He aint far off Titterton's batting ability and is already a better bowler. I place Titterton at 4 in the order and his average speaks for itself!

I actually had a couple of pops this week, I think Daniels' training is now finished.

I also pulled this guy - if only I used my ITS instead of saving it up for next season!

He's listed for 0, deadline is Wednesday at 18:26.

If anyone's got the nets to spare (1 x bat, 1 x bowl, 1 x field, 1 x stamina) he'll make a decent trainee.

Bit gutted reading WKs need fielding. Whilst slightly obvious I would have thought WK skill would have been a substitute for his fielding ability. Best whack on a fielding net on to my Wk pronto. He's:

He's already on 1x Sta , 1xWK and 1 x Ba. He should pop in sta next week so will switch that to Fie. Then return it to Sta when he's upped a few levels in fie.
 
I wouldn't bother Bucks, he's got some fielding already, it's just that Evelyn doesn't have any !! Plus it will put his cons through the roof with both fielding and W/K nets.
