Only 1 19.yo in that team so pretty good ratings :)
My academy is currently excellent but got it on improving ++ till it gets to superior then will leave it there for a while

@Nails Yeah you can cause an upset against a much better opponent. If you have the right players and the right orders and tactics then an upset is highely possible. If its a sticky or uneven pitch then there is a very high chance

@CF well done Cf on the match ratings. Even better is that you only have 1 19.yo. You must train your players up pretty well then i am guessing

William Herft. Right-Arm Fast Medium. Good secondaries . Capable/Capable should be far away from reliable/reliable. 19.yo. He is now on the market with a starting price. Hoping to acquire some interest to make at least 10,000.

Thanks cookie. Yeah I have been really focusing on my youths.
Got a fair few 18 year olds in the team so next season will be my best and should crack 100k quite easily :)

[cookie311993]

No worries Cf. Thats pretty kick arse to be rating 100k. I am hoping to get there and stay there for awhile in a couple of seasons

Yeah would be great to rate over 100k consistently :)
Got some ok prospects at the moment so should remain quite competitive for a while...

Going to try something a bit different against you tomorrow CF... something most seem to suggest against doing...

What are you planning nails?
If you want I can play a weaker squad to give you more of a chance?

[cookie311993]

haha CF you could almost play your youth team since they are so good

[CrowsFan]

Haha they would get destroyed by his exceptional summary spinner on a crumbling pitch, but I may play a couple...

[cookie311993]

haha thats all and he has some good batters and a seamer

Na It's alright, play your full strength... I'll feel better about it then when I pull off the upset of the week.

Play 3 youths if you really want...

Youth vs Youth side would probably be closer than our Seniors will be... my youth rated 83K today.

[CrowsFan]

Ok we'll see how I feel tomorrow haha ;)
Was probably going to play my youth spinner anyway since it is a windy crumbling...

[Nails]

Alright, play whoever you feel like... I wonder how my bowlers will go with the odd orders I've given them...
