hey guys, i was just wondering what people's thought's on this guy was?

Gerry Bessinger (2462910)Gerry is a RH Batsman and RF Bowler. He is a steady player with abysmal leadership skills and worthless experience.

He currently has abysmal batting form, woeful bowling form and fresh fitness.

Plays For: Paynesville First XI
Nationality: South Africa
Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 8,455
Wages: £992 p/w

Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: proficient Concentration: proficient
Bowling: worthless Consistency: abysmal
Fielding: abysmal


he is currently being trained on 3 bats, 2 stams, 1 field, 1 bowl, 1 keeping, what are people's thoughts on this?

I think you should remove 1 stam net and 1 bowl net.
That 1 bowl net is a waste and a 2nd stam net would tire him.

Don't give him the bowl net and I'd remove the 2nd stam as well. Stam improves quickly anyway

will do that, thanx for the tips, should i put another net on his batting? or leave it as it is?

He is a great trainnee, i'd give him 1xstam, 4xbat, 1xfield.

Goodluck in training him

As U19 manager - i would recommend

3 bats, 1 stams, 1 field, 1 keeping

Thus he has a good chance of beeing in the U19 squad!

if wanted to add more nets, could add another bat - but more than that would then be a waste

I'd stop at 3 primaries. Try to train other/s in your squad with ur other 4 nets

thanx for all the advice guys, i put him on 4 bats, 1 stam, 1 field, 1 keeping, so hopefully he can go all the way and play for the under 19's in 2 years time

sure you want to waste that extra bat net. Seems sorta pointless.

Thinking about it now, i would drop 1xbat and 1xwk..leaves you with 2 nets to give to other trainees.

well honestly i dont really have any other good trainees, and im really keen just to have someone try and make the under 19 or national team, so i am willing to do everything i can to make sure that happens, hopefully

well he is a good candidate - but it is always useful to try have more than 1 trainee.

i know a friend that has 10 nets on a player

5 batting, 2 field, 2 wk, 1 stam

reasons he has done this:
5 batting (to see how quick it pops)
2 field (had worthless fielding, so 1 net for secondaries other for .. fielding)
2 wk (so that he had a great batter that could be WK for him)
and stam to get to superb +6

i would find another 17y to maybe put 1 or 2 nets on to help you with your team.

that is why i said - 3 batting, 1 field, 1 wk, 1 stam.

other 4 can go on another 1 17y or 2 17y.
even if it is just 2 primary nets on them.

Can get respectable bowlers and batsman now for cheap.
in 2 seasons time they at strong/superb and you have your U19 player and working your way up the leagues.

I agree with scienide. I'd only spend 10 nets if he was an AR

hey guys, just thought i would give you an update with how bessinger is going, he is on 3 bat, 1 stam, 1 field, 1 wk.
