Well Glenn makes me more interested in the game :D

$850 wage so a bit of prof but I'll take it.

Now what to do with my nets.

Great name, too!

What's your net setup currently?

Sorry barely had a chance to look at the game last couple weeks. I'm thinking 3 bat 1 field 1 stam for Robbins and 2 bat for Smart? Team stamina and fielding maybe?

But then I have no bowlers getting trained. (I just got Geary to prof bowling which I'm content with I think).

Got the team 'Chewbacca Defence' in my BT20 league. Wasn't he a legendary BT team back in the day?

Sounds good to me.

Chewbacca - I don't recall personally, but that's probably the case. Still a bunch of teams kicking around from ~2005/06.
 
So I can remember approximately when these guys popped...

Smart hasn't had one secondary pop is that standard? Had a field net the whole time I think.

It wouldn't have been, until very recently. Changes over the last few months now mean that secondaries pop glacially slowly.

They're looking good!

Yeah, basically. It's free to play - give it a go!

It's one of those things where you could spend five minutes a fortnight on it, or an hour every day - it's up to you. You have a squad that you manage through training and games (FC, OD, T20). It's a slow burn but good fun.

Still no secondary pop for Smart! Ha.

I might ease the nets off Smart and try to train up a bowler this season. Thoughts?

I'm no expert but from what I'm hearing, there's limited impact from a third primary net these days, and basically no impact from a fourth.

I'd consider something like:

Robbins: 1 stam, 2 bat, 1 field
Smart: 1 bat
New bowler: 1 stam, 2 bowl, 1 field
And a team stamina net.

What do you think?

Reasonable I think!

That's my best 11 (+ a strong/strong bat). Bought most of them. Trained Robbins, Smart and Kirkland.

Have a strong 18yo bat and a resp 17yo with nets also.

Vele was a cheap buy and I was curious to see how quick his skills declined. Answer was quickly ha.

How's your team look? I'm surprisingly invested in this again lol. Re-living the glory days of 2006-10
