Subject: Battrick

I thought I might lose today, he has a decent team and mine is fairly pants!!! I had to win a play off last season to stay up, I bet i dont even get that option this time around :( Thanks for checking :)

Apart from having a picnic whilst Kent played in the background, I have observed others flapping about on various village greens. All of them seemed to shout out numbers. Not just four or six but others too. No idea why...

I have just signed up and haven't lost yet!

Get your players on here for people's comments...rank them by BTR first, because I like that.

right you are guv. As soon as I find out what they are, I will.

Woppa you can have a laugh at my 5 trainee's. In BT rating roder as you wished on Jaize.
I have just got 10 psychologists instead of 3 how much quicker can I expect pops.
I want to sell quincy as soon as he pops for a few pennies.

just tossed the coin in my first ever match.

What is the lowest score I can get? ;-)

Just found this rubbish article about battrick. Thought some people in here might be able to read it all the way to the end without falling asleep ;)

What i want to know is:

Single primary net, well fair enough. But how many trainees can you have?

If you want stamina, that is + 1 net, you also want fielding so + another net. If you have an all rounder that is + another net.

So with that you can train 1 bat (3 nets), 1 bowl(3 nets) and 1 all rounder (4 nets)

Doesn't this negate the 'fitness' argument until they have more stamina?

If you train with just 1 primary net and that is it, your fielding and stamina will be crap unless very high when buying.
(edited)

I agree. Realistically, 3 or 4 trainees is the maximum number because of the need for stamina/fielding/more secondary. And if you only have decent three trainees, it completely alters the arguments over single/double primary netting.

Unless you are training to sell, an activity I find wholly pointless, but each to their own.

He admitted himself he trained all rounders. So all he is saying is 1 primary net (per type) and no more. It doesn't stop him multi netting which is what everyone seems to think it means
(edited)

Yes, that's exactly what I understood he meant by it. Double netting on a one primary skill is a viable alternative to single netting two primary skills if you don't have the all-rounder option.

What do you need clarification on, I'm not sure I understand?

On the issue of trainees I have 9 trainees, one of them being an all-rounder. Each of the trainees only gets one batting/bowling net on their primary skill so as the all-rounder gets a net on both that totals my ten nets.

I do train primarily to sell, as a result I do not use any stamina or fielding nets. When I buy trainees, I always look to make sure they have stamina and fielding all-ready.

I don't usually buy 17 year old trainees myself, but rather 19 year old is mainly what I train from.
