NT Team Thread

[rogue]

He's got a fair bit of ground to make up. Three bowling pops, to start. There's no bowling talent, experience not great, sub levels low. Maybe in his late 20's. Being fast helps. I've got an LF the same age who is spec/exp and gifted at bowling, just for perspective. Less fld/exp, but the talent will make a huge difference. I've never expected him to play Nats, however...

He's about 7th for 21-23...

Mendoza with the double pop! I'm thinking 2-3 fielding pops before returning to KB, hopefully Tech will pop in that time. Good idea?

Sounds ok. Even assuming the tech pops in that time, I might go for a bit of batting tech just to get that tech a little bit closer to the batting/keeping.

I suppose if you train him how you said (+ train power at some point) and the new changes come in in 3 or 4 seasons time then he could turn into a nice attacking opener so might not need the tech so much.

I wouldn't put him on fielding just yet as there is a chance it will be rendered useless when/if ash brings in these changes. try bat/tech...

[rogue]

it's a good idea at this point to train tech, because he's got two disciplines. plus, if he's going to be opening he'll need a decent level of tech, even if he is primarily attacking...

As the loyals thread has gone, I'll put this here.

Bishop can't be a million miles away from a call-up. I think it was within the last couple of weeks that his bowling popped.

Bowling popped to exceptional this week. But would possibly have to oust Callahan to get into the side as there are some world class spinners around. Batsman Hull is there or thereabouts too but probably needs another season before he's ready.
