Pops 18/6

[loz]

1 primary pop for me this week (my AR in bowling, which took him long enough), and 2 stamina pops for my seamers. Rather annoyed at the way the form seems to be working out though, as several people who played great games last week suffered form drops in spite of this. For example, one of my batting trainees hit an unbeaten 80-something yesterday of off 65 balls, and is rewarded by his batting form going down two levels. I know there's a random element to it now, but seems a bit much.

Form is not connected to performance, it is undoubtedly the same as hattrick which will be a random curve.

Single fielding pop for me, slow couple of weeks.

That'll do. Form sees a huge batting drop for a WK and a big bowling drop for my 5th bowler, but apart from that it's not bad.

Has anyone else noticed XP moving a bit more frequently recently? Or have all mine come at once?

that makes more sense- the sledging boards are very unclear about this atm, as i gather something went wrong with it last season?

Since the start any player that plays regularly would be stuck on superb form, they've now corrected it and the unwashed masses are protesting! I think it's great as it wil create the need to have squad players as you can't rely on your one superstar if he drops out of form.

Only pop for me was a cons pop for my WK/batsman. Not sure where that came from!?

Only a few more weeks and he is up to Quality WK. Is that enough? or should I push him on to Remarkable.

Are the XP popping more frequently or is it because of the cup games? Don't you get more XP for Cup games . I know I had quite a few XP pops after my 2nd round game.

Pop for my Wickie and also somewhere else which i cant remember now!

Good point, quite a few good cup runs for SZ. Hopefully I can eek out a couple more rounds!
