Bored, so I thought I'd show off my trainees, past and present.

Still training the bottom three. 20yo will get dropped from training after this season and replaced with a 17yo all rounder.

how do you get those levels of concentration ? I'd hate to play chess against any of those guys...

The secondaries thing changed a season ago now i think.

with 10 psychologists, it was pretty easy to get any player with a bit of bat/bowl training along with fielding to get the secondaries up high

This kind of thing confirms my belief that the people who do well in this game (and HT) are the ones who pay attention to the changes made, as opposed to using any tactical or strategic nous.

what you trying to say???

saying im crap.

yes it is true, i found out about 6 months aftre the change in HT that they had made secondaries useful.

Thing is though, the one thing you can do is move players around, as somebatters prefer to open the nbatting or play middle order, that the only real "tactical" thing there is

Wigg and McGhee are the only players to have gotten any advantage out of the pre-change-secondaries thing. All the others are a product of having one primary net, one fielding net and ten sports psychs. (Walters has a WK net too, clearly.)

I think I've found the problem! This hasn't happened yet.

if you're crap, i'm crapper.

Thomas?

that's with a k isn't it ?

ok, they didnt make them useful, they made them more important than before.

say by 10% more useful, and as they were only about 1% useful before, they are now 1.1% useful now.

la la la this is my lot

Might stop with the bowlers now, they're getting a bit old.

Just got my WK in the England U-19s... :-D Mind you it did take 5/6 nets for the entire last season.
