Well these next few weeks should be pretty good for me. Quite a few primary pop's expected soon but this week, i will have to accept the secondaries!

Craig Browne - 19 yo, BT Rating=35,073

A defensive player with abysmal leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: quality
Batting: superb Concentration: superb
Bowling: worthless Consistency: feeble
Fielding: respectable

Browne will be getting Titterton's fitness net, once he pops to superb fitness. Still getting a batting and WK net and will do for at least another season.

Pete Raven - 20 yo, BT Rating=54,947
LH Batsman, LM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic
An attacking player with proficient leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: strong Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: superb Concentration: respectable
Bowling: superb Consistency: wonderful
Fielding: feeble

Both a batting and bowling pop normally come within a week of each other and also over due a fielding pop!!

Will it be worth training him once he hits 21?!

He is due batting & bowling pops too. May also get a sneaky fitness net next season!

I would keep him on at least 1 x batting and 1 bowling until he pops as a 23 yo (if you can give him a fielding net as well, all the better). Even if he doesn't pop again this season in both primaries, he'll still be something like Wonderful / Quality Batting and Wonderful / Masterful Bowling. Not too shabby !

Much needed Cons pop for Brucie. Will be keeping him on 1 x Batting, Bowling and Fielding for the foreseeable future. Primaries will be nothing to really write home about, but Secondaries are going to be mega !

He will be quality in both batting and bowling within 2/3 weeks! So would it be best if i left or kept the fielding net?!

Well, you can probably add another level of Primary to what I quoted earlier then.

Depends how high you want his Secondaries to go. If he gets a fielding net into his 23rd year, he'll be something like Masterful Conc and Elite Cons

Nifty. Well i'll see how things go and go from there. TYVM. Mr Raven may also get a fitness net in a couple of years, to take him to superb ...

I'm trying to get all my better players to Superb Stamina, hence Evelyn coming off W/K and on to Stamina. he should reach Proficient by the end of this season, so he'll be Superb by the middle of next season. Curle's already there, Schoeman is about 3 weeks away, and hel get his while BT20 is on, O'connor should get to Proficient by the end of the season, so he'll be there by the middle of next year. The only one who will have to wait is Middleton, I can't give him 4 nets otherwise he won't be able to play at all. He's only Mediocre stamina, but I've managed him quite well, and he's played in all but 1 OD, so once his training is finished he'll be getting some serious Stamina training.
 
XP only for Cold Rod & Suthers, both now competent.

Thinking of selling Plummer when he hits Remarkable bowling and getting 3 19/20 Superb bowling trainees and taking them up to Wonderful, how much would Plummer go for, or should I keep him?
