Shame about the batting, and time of season, but should be useful for at least my youth side!

Triple pops are fun!

Spark, I'm very jealous of that player

I wish he was an FM rather than just a medium; I've gone off mediums a bit lately.

Meh, he's no Nathaniel Roberts

Well, my USA medium pacer Ayers has just taken 5-12 to make sure of my survival in England SOD 1. His previous best was only 3-40. Medium pacers everywhere: all is forgiven!

Well, first off you should wait for someone better at training than me if you want a more informed opinion! But if you want the opinion of someone who generally doesn't know what they are doing then I'd say make him a bowler who can bat a bit. With the talent he's going to be much more of a bowler than a batsman and that's a lot of tech to fix + some fielding for an allrounder (although it is early in the season). Once you give him some more fielding you can always reassess.

I certainly would have preferred him to what I got and he should turn out very nice.

I agree. Bowling tech for 100 seasons.

I pulled 2 junk "players".

Ta all, I'll throw him on fielding until average anyway if I'm keeping him. Vaguely tempted to sell, might top up my banks a bit for the season, but I do like developing players more usually..
