You're nowhere near as bad as Chewie or myself. Your wages and academy investment are relatively low.

I am worse than you because of this:
Available Funds (ignores ongoing transfers): -$1,000

I need some tips regarding youths.

Should I look on to play the young, 16 year guys, in whom I see the potential of becoming future U19 National Players (there are quite a few, one 16 yr. old with reasonable bowling), or should I concentrate more on winning matches, for my older ones are even better?

 

[Chewie]

Play a mixture. Give the good young ones all the experience they can get, while playing your good older ones to help win matches

----------

I play my good young ones in senior T20 matches too to give them experience

 

[AkshayS]

I do same as Chewie said.

 

[Iridium]

I play the same Youth team every game apart from swapping in another spinner if the pitch and conditions call for it. Like in today's T20 match, I had 3 youth players in the lineup. I even had my youth captain in charge today.

Powell (my best youth batsman) smashed 87 off 36 with 13 fours and 1 six.

 

[Chewie]

The team I'm playing have one of my old players that I sold to them for a profit of 39k

I've basically won it. Even though I played a few youth players

 

[Iridium]

Your match rating was almost 5k less than your opponent and you still won .

 

[Chewie]

Wasted him.

3 youth players played, and one second team player. Mangan didn't score much despite his amazing T20 record, Lindeman came in with 2 runs to win, edged twice in a row before scoring a century to get off strike. Stanford was keeping and didn't have to do much. I could have played a few more youth players and still won

 

[Iridium]

I that was me I'd have still lost .

Some guy challenged me to a T20 friendly on Thursday so I accepted since it doesn't clash with the World Tour.

Got a match against a stronger opponent. Lets hope we can pull off a upset .

P.S:Been busy flashing my phone. It died yesterday. Gave me a scare. Then i learned how to do it properly and brought it back to life. Now i'm running C6 firmware on nokia x6

Great opening partnership.... 69 for no loss after 7.3 overs...

----------

Bang bang... Make that 83 after 8 overs... Kris Going Crazy

----------

I guess my new strategy is working great. Opening with a pair of Opener Talent and Sturdy/Accumulator talent.
Kris is The aggresser and Other guy is playing normal and thus supporting him with singles.

Score is 99/0 after 9..... Oh man this is great

----------

Kris is 70 of 36 balls and Compton is 26 of 19 balls

----------

Fling.. compton out for 36. Score is 106/1 after 10. Anyway. this is blessing in disguise as this brings on my power hitter talented Best batsman Connor on the crease.

----------

Damn... Connor is stumped for 10... Kris is still going strong. 89 of 44.
NYY 134/2 after 13 overs..

----------

170/4 after 17 overs. Kriss is still there 110(56b)

----------

Awwee Kris got out last ball of the inning. A brilliant inning came to an end. 128(64b)

NYY 209/5.

Won my match pretty easily, Helfrich was the hero grabbing 4-10.
And batting made it look easy with Quartermass scoring 60 of 27 and Buijs scoring 56 of 26.

 

[Varun]

Lost my match to the league topper. He was like 40K rating ahead of me.

 

[AngryPixel]

Won my match by 11 runs. Yuppie. Opponent was 13K better than me

 

[hedger_14]

A nice win in Youth to put me in 5th. Another win next week and then hopefully I can turn around all the close results earlier in the season to take maybe 2nd position.

Scored 285/4, then bowled them out for 132. Moxly, Reshma and Mijnke were the stars. Good that all the batsman got time in the middle though.

R. Mol 45 (57)
