BT pops - Week 9

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Just 1 for me today, a couple of weeks earlier than expected. Bowling training has now finished, so the poor sod is on double Stamina for the rest of the season, which should see him to Proficient

How much longer are you going to train Barrowdale for?

Warlock looks a nice trainee. Fast bowlers seem to be more valuable. I'm not sure whether this is justified or not, as I've got 3 of them and try and play on pitches to suit them as much as possible.

 

[blues_r_best]

I'll stop Barrowdale at exquisite.

I think (rather obviously) that Fast bowlers are more valuable as they are more likely to take wickets compared to other bowling types with the same level. The slower the bowler the more economical they are but less likely to take wickets.

Is that true on all pitches though?

I haven't enough experience on dusty and slow pitches to be certain.

Hoping for the primary pop next week.

A steady player with strong leadership skills and abysmal experience.

I have him on 1x stamina, bowling and fielding but thinking of switching one or two nets on player below (currently on 1x bowl only).

Brian Blinkhorn - 19 yo, BT Rating=16,564

Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: abysmal

Looking maybe to switch fielding from Caulfied to Blinkers and can reassign stamina elsewhere but looking at the rest of the trainees my all rounder is already on 3 nets and the 3 batsmen have no stamina issues atm.

 

[MrB]

No need to train fielding on Caulfield, his consistency is way ahead of his primary.

No need to train fielding on Caulfield, his consistency is way ahead of his primary.

Dats wot I realised tonight - having recovered training data from the broken PC, so that's definitely switching - and the stamina ? Do I switch that to Blinkers or double net one of my batsman ?

 

[MrB]

If you're serious about training Caulfield long term I'd get him to at least proficient stamina, though personally as he's 18 and only at competent I'd probably sell him at next primary pop and get a 17yo.

only really training his bowling as i had nobody else worthy of the net, but he's a nice option as an extra bowler in FC, esp as he's on a fielding net too.
