Subject: Battrick

I've just relegated into Woppas' league, I'm sure I've already mentioned that. Small world.

I got relegated, though. Does that mean we are in different leagues?

I've had this guy for ages:

Mel Ankim - 19 yo, BT Rating=22,877
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, proficient batting form, strong bowling form, fair
A steady player with mediocre leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: competent
Batting: competent Concentration: competent
Bowling: competent Consistency: competent
Fielding: competent

He's had training in all sorts of things for two seasons and I can't get him to pop. Anyone any idea what the problem is?

I guess so. I thought you were second.

Hmm. I'm in IV.15. You're not there.

Nah I got an easy relegation playoff, and my one of my only two batsmen got out cheaply, meaning it was almost a walkover for the other team. I really should have won it.

That BTR isn't possible without him having higher skills than all competent, surely?!

Well he's had loads of training, but he hasn't popped at all.

Weird!

So what did he start his training regime on? What were his stats?

Ermm does that 85 in your name denote the year you were born?

You are suggesting that you allready said he never popped I guess!! So I get it, he started on those stats, I just thought I would ask as its kind of weird stats to get from a YP.

Oh, and yep its 1985.

Then perhaps I need someone older to help me with this particular conundrum.

this is what i got, will get nets till I see what I pull next week

This is what I got with 36 ITS, he will get 3 bowling nets per week until I either buy a better trainee or get lucky with a youth pull.

Who's going to concentrate on OD or FC?
Or divide your efforts?

I shall be concentrating on FC I think. Six bowlers to play the first match, wonder if that's wise

Yeah im going for FC as its going to be more days per week so should keep me entertained at work

I will be playing the same team in both and will probably get 3rd in both leagues, maybe second. I will wait till next season to make a run at one of the leagues
