Sure.

Dynamo Morpork (1837)

Not fair, you already have a friendly this week.

 

[Scaly piscine]

I've got a winnable game, I'm favourite on paper but they get an extra PFL update and I don't...


slater The Beef Curtains
Top Order: superb remarkable
Middle Order: respectable mediocre
Lower Order: abysmal abysmal
Seam Bowling: quality exceptional
Spin Bowling: mediocre proficient
Fielding: woeful woeful


Team on the left, their seam bowling is impressive but they've got severely lowered PFLs with one on drained. Oh and that makes 1 home game in 9 since the group stage...

Completely forgotten who I'm supposed to be playing in as friendly so anyone want a game?

 

[chaminda_00]

Hmm, I was reading off a list made by someone else and they had them down as having lost for some reason. Seems the Australian teams have fared best with 6 out of 16 (assuming DLoE wins), wonder how much of that is down to the advantage with the earlier PFL updates.

Four Sri Lankan sides left including the side that knocked me out the group stages, so maybe it could have been five.

I reckon the earlier PFL updates did play a part, no doubt the four Lankan sides left wouldn't be out of place in the top leagues in Australia and England, but there are quite a few English sides that are better. Also the draw probably played role, as well as resting.

Oops. Sorry, had challenged you but you hadn't responded for 12 hours and then trevor put in a challenge, so decided to take the safe option and be sure of getting a friendly.

Got put into bat:


End of Over 14: 109-2, runrate=7.79
Agakhan 4-0-30-0
Obrien* 24 (20 balls)
Armstrong 62 (42 balls)

Last Wicket: Wheat b. Varney 12 (FOW: 40/2)


3 overs left from good bowlers, 3 from a drained PFL guy and a mediocre match summary rated spinner.

 

[Scaly piscine]

End of Over 20: 164-2, runrate=8.20
Varney 4-0-29-1
Armstrong* 98 (61 balls)
Obrien 42 (37 balls)

Last Wicket: Wheat b. Varney 12 (FOW: 40/2)


Armstrong played out two dots in the 19th over otherwise he could have reached three figures.

 

[Scaly piscine]

What an absolute joke.



End of Over 6: 62-1, runrate=10.33, reqrunrate=7.36 (164-2)
Summers 3-0-29-1
Warlock* 32 (15 balls)
Brooker 2 (1 balls)

Last Wicket: Bibi b. Summers 28 (FOW: 60/1)

BTscrewed out of the BT20.

Better bowling, better batting, better fielding, better suited to the pitch, better suited to the weather conditions so obviously I score at about 1.5 runs an over slower when Armstrong faces most of the bowling. They got feeble for spin bowling and he went at a rate less than most of my bowlers.

Not forking out £15 a year for that crap.

 

[andyc]

TBF, you did have pretty much the easiest run possible

So unfair, you got knocked out by a Div. I Australian team, Battrick is such a bad game, cry cry cry.

 

[Bobisback]

Four Pillars

When you get more gun players you can change the name again.

Done.

 

[chaminda_00]

Haha, can't believe you changed your name to that, i guess it suits your team.

 

[Adamc]

Should've changed it to 'Four Pillars and Poor Fillers'.

That made me lol, might do that soon, depends if i want to waste another 50k

I got screwed against a team I would have to collapse against to lose when they've got a drained PFL guy bowling and a feeble spin rated bowler who managed to go for less runs per over than Summers did. What division they're in is irrelevant imbecile.

Oh and there aren't that many good teams around to draw, so to get an easyish run of teams was only getting unlikely in the last couple of rounds. Of course it doesn't really matter if you get BTscrewed anyway, which is probably why there were few good teams left.

Did it. Gunnest name.

Haha. This is actually just a ruse to remove money from the BT economy, 50k at a time.
