Youth Pulls

[wolfberries]

Leaning to a bowler but with his talents could end up being a decent AR one day

I'd be leaning towards a bowler as well especially as he is a quick.

He has a lot of spares so it might be worth trying to get his batting up to reasonable, but it really depends on your academy as you don't want to waste a RF.

A couple of reasonable youth prospects this week. Both I’ll train as AR’s, unfortunately both mediums.

On face value not great. But at least skills are in the right areas and the double talent.

Absolutely, great skills in fact.

I think the most important thing for him is to get game time.

Unless I'm wrong he has a lot of spares as well, plus the fact his batting and keeping are atrocious is even better.

Is it just me or is the second guy going to make a better allrounder than the first guy because of the training talent? I do have a tendency not to train someone as an allrounder if they don't have a suitable training talent though.

The first guy would make a great batter, I reckon, if you can bring yourself to ignore the bowling and talent.
