Probably match of the week between ZZ and Clan, going to tune into that one as well :P.

Hey guys, approximately how many weeks should it take to increase a primary skill from exceptional to world class in a lavish academy? The age in question is 5 weeks at 23 and then 24 all this season...

In a Lux SA, took me like 2 seasons to get Harrison to WC/WC. Started when he was 24 (can't remember exactly) and he only popped to it mid-season (Gifted Bowling though). I'll say 2 seasons roughly as an estimate as it's a bigger gap than Spec --> Excep and in Lavish academy so a bit slower. That's for both skills, maybe 1.5-2 for a single primary increase to WC.

Gaps keep widening the higher the levels, so hard to be sure but around 1.5 for one WC and 2-2.5 seasons for WC/WC I'd say. Have to have plenty of patience as takes ages :P.

Ahead on runs, behind on wickets at drinks.
I bat quite strongly down to 8 so will be interesting.
Spewing Viswanath couldnt survive one more ball till drinks but did well as the aggressive opener.

Congrats ZZ, don't think you can lose the title from here. Quite annoyed considering I have been the highest rating team every single round, and if it wasn't for me not having internet the first 2 weeks so couldn't set pitches and tactics then I should have won! Oh well...

Looking forward to next season though when I will only be losing 4 players from my side, whereas (going from last nights matches) you will lose 8, BP will lose 7, and Clan McLeod loses 6. Think I should win next season quite easily... :)

Alright guys, now that my exams are over at school, I can waste my time on my new FTP team! I came up with the great name Star Waughs (knew I could come up with a pun) and I'm in Australia. Always happy for a friendly if people want an easy beat team. Good to see EOS is soon so I can play around with my team a bit.

I say 7 as that South African finisher was bought in to boost up the side for the last few weeks :P

Looking to just stay up next season and really compete the following season!

Cheers HP. The guy has gifted tech, which is pretty much the only reason I decided to keep going since it will train almost as fast as the bowling when just training bowling so should hopefully not take too much longer once bowling has popped :)
