Can't see us defending that.

Of course I understand how you can think this, looking from the outside you wouldn't see how poorly trained some players can be. Many managers simply train players poorly and ignore any requests concerning training.

It is unbelievable how many only train fielding to reasonable when we all know this is far too low.

Had a look at your players and can't see the star all rounder, can you post the link please?

Yes, the change in ages certainly does make the job more fun.
