San can finally finish training, Askew needs a couple of weeks to pop batting and then Curtis will a couple of weeks later. After that I'll be concentrating on Sutherland, Saj, Botham and Mushtaq.

You should really keep training San for at least another level of bowling.

20 is young enough and having spent all those training nets getting him to an all-rounder you really don't want to get to the stage in a season or two's time where his bowling is no longer effective and he's struggling to justify a place in the team.

 

[MrB]

Problem is he'll be 21 shortly and you're looking at minimum 17 nets to pop him (last one too 16 weeks). His consistency should keep him reasonably effective as an economical bits and pieces bowler, I need the net to help my terrible batting!

B,

Did you buy Botham (if so, how much) or have you been training him for a while?

 

[MrB]

I bought him for £3m. A tad expensive but I had just received £1.9m for McCoy who was a strong/respectable bowler.

Nice bit of business
