I pulled a seam bowler this week and got a 16yo average bat with skilled batting  I see you've left it to me to avoid a whitewash against the windies too! you do seem to be fairly lucky with the pulls lol. Yeah this cup game. Still annoyed by it. Had the best batter and the best bowler, as well as probably the 2 better all rounders. had them in all sorts of trouble at 91-4, with 5 overs of reasonable, 10 overs of capable and 5 overs of reliable left, and they scored at pretty much a run a ball for the last 25 overs. batting wise, only really had 2 out of my TEN average+ batters perform. Highly annoyed |

Another convincing 20/20 win
Bowled out the opposition for 62 in the 15th over, my only spinner ( my 4th best) took 4-7!
Knocked them off for the loss of 1 wicket in the 8th.
Still lead all 3 leagues, but the 20/20 will be defined by one match, 1st v 2nd as we're level on points ( tho I'm ahead on NRR) which is the 2nd last fixture of the season at their place.

Managed a decent win today - thought I was going to lose for 90% of the match but a 150 run unbeaten partnership got me over the line!
Think I managed the 3rd highest youth ratings in the world this week. I'm hopeful I can get #1 in the world at some point next season, as all my players are 16/17 and all the players above me have some players that will either be promoted or stop improving next season...

Didn't realise it till the match had finished ( damn moving), that it was a BOT bash. Hit 311-4 in my 40 overs, bowled them out for 125. Still top by 8 points  Managed a decent win today - thought I was going to lose for 90% of the match but a 150 run unbeaten partnership got me over the line!

haha fair enough
got a random challenge n thought sod it lol
Gives me an idea about my other players too
Think I've found someone who might be a semi decent player
16yo with ordinary batting, average tech, average power, and ordinary fielding.. poor bowling poor endurance.. plus he's a boundary hitter...
without that talent activating today, he hit 54no from 23 deliveries!

Indeed.. think he'll be trained on batting for the next 2 years, his endurance will go up at some stage, he's also a semi decent captain too!

I am a luck box.
Now have 7 reasonable + bowlers in my youth team. No idea what to do with them all!
