even if they are not good enough for NT work, its never a bad thing to pull a decent fastie

Agreed. I particularly like left arm fasties.

The classic, look at bowling type, then talent
Then you look at skills

[Cynic]

I can count the number of good YPs my affiliate gets on one hand.

And upping my academy just makes my dreadfuls slightly higher dreadfuls.

I think this is my highest waged youth pull of the season. It's certainly the highest waged youth pull that I'm likely to keep although I'm not sure how much game time they'll get.

Have kept him on fielding for now. May not make the NT shortlist (or long list) but will be a good player for my club.

I'd have been happier if they weren't a medium but I guess he'll do.

Suggestions please.

Should be a good medium pace bowler. I'd go fielding to reasonable (probably get it to capable later on) and then get the bowling up.

Fielding is up to Reasonable. Switching to bowling now.

[Philly]

With the youth team now until 20, I'm wondering whether reliable is now the base target for fielding.

Thoughts?

[rogue]

Why do I have 20 year olds in my youth squad still? Did I miss a change in the rules..?
