No pops this week. But a big boost in Battrick rating...

 

[embi]

Absolutely no pops again. Not a good start to the season, but should have some next week...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

No pops for me. Got a tough team on Sunday, although he has admitted in sledging that he had a tough game against the TT Lions...
Basically, he has a Remarkable/Remarkable allrounder and a WI NT keeper/bat, and then a bunch of 10K BTR players, whereas I have 44K Rudi, 36K Crouch, then Tuckett, with Folkes, Eli and Abdeen in development. So, he should win, it's at my ground. I'm gonna GFI, and hope for the best...

 

[ste_mc_efc]

mampe *may* have got a concentration pop, other than that nothing

 

[The Spin]

No pops again fo me. I should have one soon

 

[Jaztheman]

No pops for me again

 

[FreddieFan]

No pops for me, although this is almost a good thing. If Ludlam's batting had popped, it would have been the end of his U19 chances. His wage is fairly low, so his batting needs to be a low competant in order for his bowling to be a sufficiently high respectable. We'll see.

 

[Bilal91]

nope...no pops for me neither...

 

[Briggsey]

Looking for a bit of an opinion really. Ive got two bowlers, one is destructive in nature, the other cautious, ive got a big game on Friday and I need these two to be fireing on all cylinders, so what does everyone think I should set there aggression levels at for this game?

The pitch will be Hard and Fast.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

what are the bowling types?

 

[Briggsey]

what are the bowling types?

The destructive one is RFM and the cautious one is LM

Oh and everyone ignore the ridiclious price ive put on Burdett, I put one too many zeros on the end!

 

[ste_mc_efc]

id play the destructive attacking, perhaps in the middle overs, not at the death (however i try to have me seamers as defensive and my spinners to take wickets so dont go 100% by what i said for him)

and the LM should be middle orders aswlel, perhaps at the death, but again seamers arent my strong point

Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 5,587
Wages: ?761 p/w
Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: abysmal Concentration: worthless
Bowling: respectable Consistency: respectable
Fielding: worthless

Remember this guy? After two weeks of training with three bowling nets, one fielding net, and one fitness net, he is currently up to:

Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 7,277
Wages: ?761 p/w
Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: abysmal Concentration: worthless
Bowling: respectable Consistency: respectable
Fielding: abysmal

So basically he's had a pop in fielding and an increase of about 1700 in his BT rating.

That doesn't seem like good progress to me for some reason, but this is the first 17-year old that I've trained in my BT career, so I don't have the experience to judge his growth.

What do you guys think?
