well done, what sort of a skill level would a 17 year old need to get in the squad?

[Caliban]

All 17yo respectables will be tracked but I would say mid level respectables, or low respectables with good secondaries.

[iZeeshan]

Caliban, how can you tell if they are low or mid? Do you have like a calculator, or a popping thing that tells you? Please reply ASAP, because I have to go.

[Kamran]

these are my current trainees i think you have seen the top player before,d either of them have a chance?they are both on 3 batting 1 fielding 1 stamina.

I very much doubt it. I think they have to be quality or higher.

[Kamran]

i dont think there are any 17 year olds with quality batting or bowling.

[Straight Bat]

i dont think there are any 17 year olds with quality batting or bowling.

Same here, the highest I've seen are proficient.

[Sean]

Well, I don't think players with Respectable batting would get in. They'd need atleast Strong.

[iZeeshan]

Yea but Caliban wants to track respectable 17 yr olds.

Chaudhury certainly has a chance, he is low respectable but the high conc makes up for that. Etheshamuddin is unlikely to make the squad, in the past competent youth pulls have been good enough but the standards are improving. Its better for you team to focus on Chaudhury as the better prospect and reduce Etheshamuddin nets, freeing them up for other trainees.

I've added Chaudhury to the online database and you'll be contacted periodically to check on his progress, although you're very welcome to mail me and post here when any of skills increase.

[Caliban]

I very much doubt it. I think they have to be quality or higher.
17yo players this season wouldn't make the squad until they're 19, by which time they'd need to be at least quality.
Chances are I will only be calling up remarkable or better 19yo batsmen this season (and superb or quality 18yo's)

[iZeeshan]

Caliban, how can you tell if the person is low, high, or mid level?

[Hari Sombar]

Caliban, how can you tell if the person is low, high, or mid level?


I think by the last time he popped

[Kamran]

Caliban, how can you tell if the person is low, high, or mid level?
they work it out by the wages.

[iZeeshan]

Can you tell me how that works? I really wanna know...

[Kamran]

so how does the under 19 system work will my player be given a ranking amongst all the other players?

[Caliban]

so how does the under 19 system work will my player be given a ranking amongst all the other players?
Yes, but not until next season. Not possible to rank the first season with the players too closely matched.

thats what i think he will look like when he turns 19
pop to superb in stamina should happen in the 12th or 13 week of the season

[Kamran]

i have with the above stats tried to work out where my player will be at the start of next season and at the start of the following season, would you agree that is accurate with the current nets being 2 bat 1 field 1 stamina.

[Sean]

How'd you work that out, Kamran? Have you got some sort of predictor?

[Kamran]

i worked it out from the training times that i put in the newbie thread.

[Kamran]

although if i use the calculator zeeshan put up then it gives me a slightly different result.

[Sean]

Where are the boxes where you put the imformation in?

[Kamran]

make the graph full screen, then you should see at the bottom of the screen info calc data click on calc from there just input your players current stats into the top left hand section aand the nets in the middle section and you should get your results at the bottom

[Sean]

Oh. It was on a different tab. my bad.

this season has 12 weeks left and a full season is 18 weeks.

[Sean]

I'm going to create a new thread for this. This is the wrong thread to talk about it.

[Caliban]

I hope everyone will be following the U19 games this season, this is how we start the season

26/06/2007 (ODI) India U19 v Pakistan U19
27/06/2007 (ODI) Pakistan U19 v India U19
03/07/2007 (ODI) Pakistan U19 v South Africa U19
04/07/2007 (ODI) South Africa U19 v Pakistan U19
10/07/2007 (ODI) New Zealand U19 v Pakistan U19

17/07/2007 (ODI) Pakistan U19 v England U19
18/07/2007 (ODI) England U19 v Pakistan U19

[Kamran]

yeah sure will, good luck
india look in trouble they havent even picked a player yet

[Caliban]

India aren't the only ones, but there isn't any benefit from picking players early in fact its better to leave it late just in case a new player emerges at the last minute - provided you have a good idea of the provisional squad and stay on top of PFL management.

[Sean]

Congrats on your 1000th post, Kamran. :) :D
