From The Pavilion

In tribute to the great man’s 61st birthday today, we’re running a “like” competition.

Each week for the next few weeks, I’ll nominate 4 nationalities for Youth Recruits, that could use some likes.

Post your picks in this thread. The winner each week will be the person who matches the most skills at the same level, including the summary ratings. So those most like each other.

Skills counted:
Bat, Bowl, Keep, Field, Endo, Tech, Power, Exper, Capt + Bat Sum, Bowl Sum, Keep Sum, AR Sum (13 in total).

So if you match 5, 6, 7 or more, you’re in the mix.

Prize:

Weekly winner receives 1 month membership
If anyone hits all 13/13, they’ll receive 12 months membership

Prizes are issued on June 1st.
Nations may change depending on how many recruits they already have.

If no one matches all 13, all entries with 10+ matches will go into a draw for the major prize.


At small addendum, you can only win 1 prize a week but you can win multiple prizes across all the weeks

Some of the dreadful skills probably aren't far away from atrocious as well.
