Hey mate, I haven't replied to you yet :S and only just saw your post on the forums. Given he is only 17 and is already at capable/reasonable and with opener talent he will definitely make nat's!!! But not this season. Panda may take him as an 18yo to the world cup next season if you can get him to reliable/reliable by then, but unfortunately he will be 19 in a non-world cup season. However after possibly not making a world cup he should be good for Nat's the season after.

If you keep swapping between bowl & bowl tech appropriately until you get him up there you can give him a level of fielding to average if you like :)

Best to ask Panda (papadamour) what he wants to tho as he is the boss :D

I think he ment bat & bat tech, well deffinately making NATs is a good sign :D :D

If you looked at papa's announcement on the U/19 page it says exactly what he wants :) (I forgot to send this in your last message)

And what the message means is it will be unlikely he will go to the world cup (next season when he is 18). Not that he will never make nat's.

Hopefully that clears something up :D

So Unlikely to get sent to the U19 WC cos of his age, but maybe if he is good enough my sneak in as a 18yo, but i doubt it

Awesome news Zz!
Arnold is a freak and playing NAT games will help his experience hugely!

[chrisuzz]

well if he can get to rel/rel or rel/cap by the end of this season he maybe able to get to accom/accom by the end of next season which should give him a shot at making the U19 WC side

Imagine i pulled him earlier last season :o :o

[Alex7089]

Well in that case he would have s hot at he senior NAT team way down the track :P

[roo boys!]

I would have sold him if I were you ;)

[Fletch74]

That's awesome Zz. Good secondaries as well. I have a 17yo too who is avg/cap ATM, but his secondaries aren't as good as yours though, plus he's an Aussie, so he won't make the U19 NAT's... Graham Dean. I'm trying to get him to cap/cap by EOS to sell him off.

[cookie311993]

you do realise the young recruits go for more when they are younger.m if you sell a 16yo gun recruit as soon as recruited get extra cause team with heaps high academy will purchase him and grow him quickly.

[Fletch74]

Yeah, but in my case he won't get as much now compared to when he turns 18 at EOS as a cap/cap hopefully.

[Alex7089]

I would have sold him if I were you ;)

Same. He would of sold for at least 500k I reckon. Maybe more.

Yep the Sri Lankan manager said he could go for about 1 mil.

[Alex7089]

:O

I would certainly take the cash. You can get a team of outs/outs players with that ind of money :o

[cookie311993]

fletch, not many players like a capable/capable 18 year old and will pay big money. if sold when first got him. a team with high academy would have him accomplished/reliable at eos 18 with good secondaries

I was informed when I first got him that he would only sell for about 30-40k as it was late in last season. I do understand what you're saying though. Maybe I should have sold him at the then EOS just gone, so I'll just have to work on him now. Won't get that much for him until EOS.

[cookie311993]

wont get much at EOS either for him Fletch. everyone hunts down 16 and 17 year olds. EOS just gone would have made you a bit
