Kenneth Goram 
19 years old | 38,210 rating | $2,622 wage | Right hand batsman | Right arm Medium | Gifted (Endurance)
average experience | reasonable form | revived fatigue | reasonable captaincy
Batting accomplished Endurance reasonable Fielding capable
Bowling ordinary Technique capable Training Batting Technique
Keeping poor Power reasonable

Is he anywhere near the U19 squad right now? I know his tech is off putting but do the high secondaries help his case at all?

Can't see him making it mate, like you said nice secondaries, but batting and tech need work, cheers

Batting needs work? I have two bats in the squad with less batting than him

Well maybe we should drop your lad and stick him in the sqaud,

Think Robh has chucked the u/19 manager post, no squad selected for the upcoming tour, and last tour no orders were set in some games, not good

[Jim]

Looks like he's still been logging in though

[ragingbull]

Surely his assistants can set orders also?

The point is, he is the manager, at times i have set orders only for Robh to come on and change them, i don't mind that cause it's his perogotive, so next game i leave the orders alone thinking he will set them only for no orders to be set at all, i can't be on here 24hrs a day just incase. I have messaged him about non selection of sqauds etc but got no reply, that's why i think he has lost intrest.

Well I guess these things happen. People have time and lose time and unfortunately we all forget sometimes. We (Scotts-folk) just need to find out where Rob's intent is right now and we'll work something out with him.

As for setting orders or running the nation as an Assistant, I can completely relate after the past couple of seasons. It's not that you can't do it, it's that in your mind you didn't take on a managers role, you took on an assistants role - probably with more intention to discuss and critique players and performances and orders rather than to be the one who's tasked with deadlines and pressure to perform. If you go in with an assistants mentality, being asked to be the pseudo manager is quite a difficult shift to make sometimes.

Totally agree mate, it's a pity Robh is not as active, like you said maybe he does'nt have the same time anymore, if he had managed to message me to say take over running the Nat side for now i'd have known where we stood for planning etc until the EOS. I'll take on a caretaker role until i hear otherwise.
This week iv'e set the orders for all games, god knows how we have managed 2 wins and could have been 3, we have no keeper and about 10 bowlers, 6 of which are spinners for pitches uneven,green & hard

I've got U19 knowledge and exp...... but I'm gonna stay with butters
