I may be losing to a bot in the next few hours. My youth team has been assembled on gifts/potential entirely, rather than current abilities, and I’m training them in their “gifts”. But at the moment they’re all 16/17 and rubbish. School of hard knocks.

I've comfortably beaten the only human manager in my Youth T20, they seemed to have been at a similar level to me as well.
Tomorrow I play a human manager in my Senior T20 but as they've only logged on once I think they are a glorified bot, I'm not taking any chances though as I'm not sure how absent managers get on.

I'm top with a 100% record in all my 4 leagues. In the senior 50 over league, I just beat our closest rivals, and previously other unbeaten team (there are 4 nonbots in this league). In the senior T20 league, tomorrow we play the other 100% team - 6 nonbots. In the Youth 40 over league (6 nonbots), this week we also play our closest rivals, and in the Youth T20 I'm one of only 2 nonbots so it;s a bit of a breeze.
Obviously when i face OTF led teams I'm rubbish, but I'm hoping that my slow build up of money and facilities approach is a better one for the long term. Though it could of course be that it isn;t.

Youth T20 was only introduced last season, so the divisions are still a bit weird in terms of how they're organised. That's why there are currently a lot more promotion places on offer than in other leagues.
Meanwhile, my affiliiate match is currently being watched by the Dutch National manager. He probably clicked on it by accident, but I'm enjoying the feeling that the talent of the Cornelius twins has finally been noticed.

I'm surprised how well we did against the Dragons in our T20 today, we couldn't get to 100 on a sticky wicket but managed to get 6 Dragons wickets as they needed the 20th over to reach their target. Rodney Head was the huge bowling disappointment. Onwards and upwards.

Three arrived, all in my Youth squad now. I'll be sacking some of the dead wood now, there's a lot.
I'm playing youth academy players in my senior side to try and give them experience, we got absolutely hammered today but it's all about development, isn't it?

I've written off my two senior pros and will play three youth academy players at the weekend against OTFers, they are batting at 4,5 and 6. I'll do the same in the leagues as well.
Hopefully I'll be able to upgrade my youth academy early next week, both are at satisfactory now, to see if that helps. I've just sacked three players as well.
