Both Aff ones looking good CraigFisher!

What do we think of this weeks aff for me? I feel his ordinary keeping pulls up his wage and rating, but will keep him for his rare left arm fast, good power and gifted fielding.

Keepable for sure, ord bowling avg tech and gifted fielding to help with his poor field. I think any fast or wrist spin bowler recruited needs to be looked at much closer as they are rare.

[Creag]

An update on this guy, i wasn't sure if he was worth keeping but persevered because he's a fast bowler. After 4 weeks of training he has popped bowling and tech as I had hoped. Looks much better now as a 16.04 avg Bowl ord Tech avg Field, time to work on fielding till capable/reliable and then bowling tech.

Another LM haha, he will do very nicely.

[Creag]

Such a pity about the tech, but almost 4k spare and another fast bowler, will be keeping for sure.

Hate players like that! Got a similar one myself - stuck him on the TM to see if anyone will bite due to the high Primary skill.

I agree CJ, but I just can't let a Scot fast bowler go somewhere else where he might not get as good of an academy.

A nice recruit from the Affiliate.

Another 1k+ wager, the experience and fielding are a big downer so am still deciding if i should keep or sell. If I keep should I make him a Specialist bat or an allrounder to make use of the talent?

I think keep! Bowling as ordinary i would go as a bat, but as he is avg i would
Go all rounder until batting is cabable, then as a bowler.
Will be a true all rounder

I think you are right Hadders, if only he wasn't a plain old RM he would be so much better. Could still be good enough to crack the NAT team though.
