if you have to play a qualifier and you draw me, i will get smoked. i wouldn't worry about it
anyone know that if when your youth academy reaches superb it will stay there if you only invest 4k in it instead of the 12k

[AAGunner3]

play normal. he hasn't been online in months!!!


he has abysmal spin bowling, so if you have any spinners make your pitch dusty and you should rack up a high score.

I've got 1 good one and another who's in horrible form (abysmal)

Shouldn't he have been reset by now? That was the end of August.

i'd have thought he would've been reset to a bot by now, looks like he hasn't I think he has one good batsmen, above 10k in BTR, but aside from that nothing special.



and it looks like i'll have to keep 12k into my youth system once i get to superb (just popped to strong last week)

[quentinc]

It's gonna take a while to make that final pop. I don't know how long I've been at strong.

[johno]

Well, I got the win and boosted myself into the promotion table... I'm second from last and I'll have to play a quali unless several 1st place teams lose... good news is that my Fitness is decent and that it will be very high at the end of the season... i've got to balance between playing competitive enough to raise my NRR and keeping my Fitness high so i can win my qualy.

We have our own forum, yeah!

Mark, thanks for taking the lead on this. Very cool.

No problem :)

The Windies national team has been named, and it has a bit of a BS flavor to it. Among the selections:

Batsman Sulieman Seargeant of Norse Athletic Club
Batsman Darrell Julian of Metairie Cricket Club

(I had actually thought we had more, but that's all... hopefully, we'll have at least one U19 as well.)

[quentinc]

They still haven't even filled out the team in SL! Don't know if my guy made it, although there's a few who have lower BT ratings than him.

From the News:

There have been an unfotunate amount of bugs that have struck this weekend. The catalyst for this avalanche problems was a new teams allocation not quite going through properly, and has left us with a fair few headaches to resolve.

The multiple youth pulls that were experienced in England and that some took advantage of has now been resolved, with the extra players being removed from the game. There was a massive drop to fitness levels on Friday that has now been resolved.
Finally there was an unexpected reset of supporter and sponsor moods and team morale in some countries. This has been more of a problem with recovering the data, and we have been left in the unfotunate position of having to accept the current state of play, which we can only apologise for.
Finally, there was also a small issue where your players fitness increased rather dramatically. This has now been reset to fresh.

Mine went back from fair to invigorated -- where it should have been.

I have to keep mine high so I can keep my runrate up for auto-promotion.

I'm in the same boat, but I'm only at lively... good news is that I don't really have anyone left to worry about so I should be able to TIE the rest of the way from here on out.

johno, i had a conc pop with only fielding and fitness training. i want to say it took 2 weeks, maybe 3. The guy was only getting fitness and fielding nets and he popped in conc. My other two fielding trainees haven't popped yet in conc/consis

[johno]

thank you very much... this helps...

[Bluto11]

one of hte other fielding trainees was also getting a bowling session. i'm guessing he'll pop in conc/consis soon as well.

i think i'm going to give all my nets to 3 guys. I've got 5 guys training right now, but i've had a few stamina pops so i think those guys are done and i'm going to give two bowling, a fitness, and a fielding to two guys and then two nets to another player.

[johno]

have u stopped training Sulieman?

[Craig P]

Sulieman Seargeant popped to competent stamina and remarkable concentration. As noted in the offsite Windies forum, I'd be just fine with his c/c holding steady where it is now, but with all the nets sessions he's getting I'm sure it will continue to go up. Currently at six sessions in all, four batting plus one each fielding and stamina.
