Hmm, not to clever, calling up and dropping players stuffs around morale apparently, surely he could've just BT Mailed you. Only helps if he plays, even then you've got to get the subsidy paid out, quite often it doesn't get paid.

Over and above all that, if he gets selected congrats!

It's not an issue if morale is reset when the new manager takes over. Can't remember if it is though...

That would negate that if it is like that, I don't know myself , but still why didn't he just BT Mail him?

It's a lot quicker to just check I seem to remember it happening to Ludlam when the England NT Fringe was being set up.

I know, it happened to Surmon last season, I found it strange an 18yo was being called up to the U19 sqaud, turns out it was a mistake though

EDIT:

Logged on this morning to find Surmon called up twice and dropped once, I know he's in with a shout for selection but there are some real monsters out there that he's up against and I think after today he might miss selection, oh well, that suits me for my league games.

The cup this season has been so shite to me. Bye, bot away and now a Div III side away. His last reporters summary, had wonderful top order, respectable middle order and superb spin and seam bowling. Going to be a bloody tough match to win

 

[Maxkarter]

At least you'll get some decent cash.....

I've got a bot away next, better than the bye first up atleast. Even though it's away I'm damn happy it's a bot, I'm going to need all the PFL I can get in these opening weeks of the season.

Got a cup round at home!

Got a decent team however, but if I go full out I may be able to snatch a victory. If he goes full team then I doubt I can win.

 

[Highlander999]

Got a PM from scienide, saying if I give him 3 bowling and 1 fielding nets, he'll make the Under 19's (as long as I rotate a stamina net with him)
