Old Wulfs
Top Order: woeful
Middle Order: abysmal
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: woeful
Spin Bowling: abysmal
Fielding: woeful

They were my ratings in my first ever game (which I lost my 2 runs )

Old Wulfs
Top Order: proficient
Middle Order: competent
Lower Order: abysmal
Seam Bowling: respectable
Spin Bowling: mediocre
Fielding: feeble

And that was in my last league match. I've come a long way, but a lot of work left to do. It's scary that mt fielding has only improved 1 level in all that time!

 

[borncricketer]

Haha here is mine

Top Order: woeful
Middle Order: abysmal
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: abysmal
Spin Bowling: useless
Fielding: feeble

Top Order: proficient
Middle Order:competent
Lower Order: abysmal
Seam Bowling:strong
Spin Bowling:respectable
Fielding:feeble

good improvement but still lots of work left to become a top notch team, fielding hasnt improved tho

Thanks for all the feedback guys... so basically what i wanted to say is, dont be disheartened... Battrick is a long run and you got to keep your head high at all times...

In short you gotta be patient at times of pops

I was probably the biggest n00b ever when I started Battrick. I made some of the worst signings. I didn't start becoming a not so bad team until around 6 months of playing the game. I've never gone down to League 6, though.

 

[aussie1st]

Is there a league 6? Thought it only went to 5, wish I had started from there now

 

[GrayNicolls]

There's a League 6 in England.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Wow, an incredible improvement from me. Here's what I started with:

The Falcons
Top Order: woeful
Middle Order: woeful
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: abysmal
Spin Bowling: feeble
Fielding: woeful

And this is where I am now:

The Falcons
Top Order: strong
Middle Order: mediocre
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: proficient
Spin Bowling: competent
Fielding: competent

big improvment in about 3 seasons.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

My first ratings:

[B]Top Order:[/B]       woeful 
[B]Middle Order:[/B]    abysmal 
[B]Lower Order:[/B]     worthless 
[B]Seam Bowling:[/B]    woeful 
[B]Spin Bowling:[/B]    useless 
[B]Fielding:[/B]        woeful

Now:

[B]Top Order:[/B]      competent 
[B]Middle Order:[/B]   respectable 
[B]Lower Order:[/B]    abysmal 
[B]Seam Bowling:[/B]   superb 
[B]Spin Bowling:[/B]   superb 
[B]Fielding:[/B]       feeble

Currently in my fifth season. So there is hope for you all. You too can have a Zorax-like bowling attack!

And if you wonder how people like Rudi and Tuckett grew seeing these posts will help...

Rudi: http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/showpost.php?p=315536&postcount=69

Tuckett: http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/showpost.php?p=305841&postcount=29

Zoraxs training schedule at that time....

Ryan Crouch = 1*Fielding, 1*Fitness
Bill Tuckett = 2*Bowling, 1*Stamina
Lennox Rudi = 1*Batting, 1*Bowling, 1*Fitness

He kept rotating it though...

Nets before getting Rudi and Tuckett

Rich Nguyen-lee = 2*Bowling
Leon Atheron-ham = 2*Bowling
Jorden T?oeu = 2*Bowling
Mike Leonard = 2*Bowling
Pat Cash = 2*Bowling

Lol he didnt know how to train

 

[GrayNicolls]

Norfolk N Chance's stats (still a n00b)

Top Order: woeful feeble competent
Middle Order: abysmal woeful feeble
Lower Order: worthless abysmal worthless
Seam Bowling: worthless feeble mediocre
Spin Bowling: abysmal woeful mediocre
Fielding: abysmal woeful abysmal

The first column is me when I first started, which was halfway through Season 3. The second is me two seasons later (halfway through season 5), and I hardly improved at all. And the last one was my last game (against Greenbank).

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I never knew how to train. I sucked at BT a lot, and only really made big steps after season 3 or so. In my first 6 weeks, I gave 10 players one net each, and rotated it every week You n00bs are lucky you have us here to help you!!!
