From the Pavilion

[roo boys!]

I didn't get a player in the nat squad either. I can still smash most of you :P

[Fletch74]

I'm not sure on the Bangladesh policy on playing NAT's, but IMO Monir is still a couple of seasons from being a NAT ML. Unless the player is from the USA they're unlikely to make the 30 man squad until 23 at least.

Having said that, he's an excellent player and should be a NAT down the track. He would need to probably be Spec summary for consideration though. I suggest a spec/spec with rel fielding and acc endo, plus at least rel experience, maybe acc experience might be enough.

Remember he is a medium, so he will be up against stiff opposition, but good player there ML ;)

BB i got 3 players in the nat teams. and we will see how i fair against you next time around now that i have added some strength to my side after getting whacked by you last game. 2 weeks time in the FFPL2 i play against you on a green,

On a side note, who else has a player in their youths with prodigy talent. Preferably 16 year old. Have you noticed that it is awesome when training your players. I mean i have a reasonable youth academy and my prodigy player has improved 668 ratings points and gotten 2 pops. He had 1 week fielding training and 1 week bowling training. Should be a good club player

The study i have been undertaking based on academies has shown a 1600k drop in level, investment for Sri Lanka, i assume it is similar for Scotland and other nations which is good for those investing in academies

Which level?

You realise a 1600k drop is actually 1,600,000! I don't believe it has dropped that much :P

LOL CF ... it hasn't even dropped by 1.6k. I'm not sure where cookie is getting his numbers from but they are not even close to being correct.

[cookie311993]

My bad i meant 1.6k. I clearly stated Sri Lanka baz so obviously i am getting my numbers from the Sri Lanka academy prices which are different to that in Scotland since i did ask Ash and a few other Mod's

The total is from all levels added up not including the Average Weekly Investment

[Bazinga]

Why do you achieve by adding the price of each level together??

[cookie311993]

Who said i was trying to achieve anything. I was keeping an account of the results in the total price of the academies for requirement to reach each level. Just some extra data besides that of the average weekly investment. The total takes into account the amounts each level drops

[AFEV]

Why do you achieve by adding the price of each level together??

A bigger number :P

[Nails]

That is 50 runs for McDonald (51 runs, 21b 5x4 1x6) SR:242.86

This is a top of the table clash in T20, he's a bot undefeated, I'm a human (believe it or not) undefeated...

and a measly 3,540 spectators showed up  ::)

Once I have ~200-250K what kind of player should I look for? I was thinking a spec/spec bat would be good... but now I'm thinking an all rounder would be good  ???

What if I developed a side that had 4 bowling all rounders + Ud-Din ?

It'd bat all the way down to 10 and still bowl decently.

[Fletch74]

I think what Baz is saying Cookie, is that what you are doing is actually worthless calculations.

It would be more advantageous if you were to calculate the drop in your particular level, or one in particular. You can not say...

The study i have been undertaking based on academies has shown a 1600k drop in level, investment for Sri Lanka, i assume it is similar for Scotland and other nations which is good for those investing in academies

You are stating that one level has dropped by 1.6k, which your calculations don't show, all they show is that the aggregate of all the levels have dropped by 1.6k, which effectively means that, whilst overall they have decreased, it is worthless as it does not show how much they have dropped.

If you wanted a better indicator, then you should use the Average Weekly Investment, that will show that people have invested less this week, but it does not give an indication on levels though.

I can say that to keep my SA on the minimum Improving++ this week, I was able to drop my investment by about $400, but my YA investment still had to increase by about $1.4k

[Bazinga]

When you convert your numbers into percentages, it is actually less than 0.5% decrease, which is very small. Also youth academy invest ment is still rising slightly...

Average senior academy investment decreased by 0.12%  (19,975 this week down from 19,999 last week)
Average youth academy investment increased by 0.91%  (22,133 this week up from 21,931 last week)

This week ...
Seniors decreased by 0.33% (19,909 this week down from 19,975 last week)
Youths increased by 0.49% (22,239 this week up from 22,133 last week)

So average senior academy investment is slughtly decreasing and youths are still slightly increasing, but to be honest it is very minor and it won't be noticable when setting investment amounts.

[cookie311993]

Is this what you wanted then fletch. For seniors

Really how is the average relevant to any of us on FF. I doubt any of us invest the average. We are all concerned about the next level we want to reach
