Glad that O'connor has finally popped after 17 weeks, I need to get his net onto one of my other bowlers.
 
Raven pops to Strong Cons. He's coming on nicely. He'll be up the order too soon to see how he copes. The only problem i have with him is his weak Conc which im hoping should go up a level soonish!

Coming on nicely. Annoyingly Botham didn't pop in bowling so he'll now be moving on to a 17th week of training. Really wish I hadn't bought him, if there were any decent all rounders available I'd sell him now.
 
20, he's had 15 weeks batting and 16 weeks bowling without a pop.

If his batting and bowling were the other way round he'd be fine. Really don't know why I bought him.
 
20, he's had 15 weeks batting and 16 weeks bowling without a pop.
Ouch ! Considering he's had 5 weeks as a 19yo that is a bloody long time.

I assume he's just on 1 bat, 1 bowl? Is he due any secondary pops ?

If not bung him up for silly money and see if you get a bite. (Preferably before Sunday!!)
 
Personally I'm not happy about having only strong/proficient as a 5th bowler but I don't think I can face 17 weeks worth of training again for another level. I will probably wait till the end of the season, accumulate some cash and get a new all rounder to replace him at the start of next season (or keep him and start training one).
 
Blimey, he'd be about 3rd best for me :thump::p

He'd be behind Jackman and Titteron, and pretty soon behind Raven but would be a nice replacement for Akram and that means i could bat down to 10 and would just mean Jackman couldn't bat and he's picked a fair few runs this season for me.

But do i want to spend 4 million on him!? Prob not. Unless i can find another option. I have 3 million in the bank, and the likes of Ottley, Akram and 2 OK 17YP's should get me upto at least 5/5.5 million!

A pop for one of my old timers...

Will persevere for that one last pop to take him to Quality and make him last the test of time.

With him up to superb it means my top 3 batsman are all superb. With 2 of those due to be Quality by the end of the season. Getting there.....Slowly..ever so slowly......
 
What do people think for 3 million?

He looks a decent player but that sounds far too much. He's young enough that you can train him for another 3 or so seasons, has good stamina so you won't need to waste nets on that, and his consistency is only a level down from his primary, a little fielding and no wasted keeping. Would be a nice trainee, but I'd hesitate at £2m let alone £3m, but the market may have moved on since I was last looking.
