Further to the announcement almost a year ago that the Zebras were attracting interest from Latin America, it can now be officially involved that the Guatemalan Government, eager to advertise their country in the subcontinent, has bought a large share of the club, resulting in changes to the team name and ground name. Due to the Zebras close affiliation with a certain African mammal, the Tanzanian Tourist Board has also bought a stake in the club.

As a result of these investments, Zebras will now be known as Zebras Guatemala, while the ground name has been ammended to Maidan Azteca-Kilimanjaro.

Friendly on Sunday anyone? Would want something competitive.

I don't know how competitive i will be but i am up for it, any ground so challenge me away.

Scaly, are you sure that I'm replacing Allstar XI in III.12? It's just that I lost to them in a playoff last season, and what with all the bugs around at the moment, it just seems like a bit of a coincidence that I'm back in the same league again?

Anyway, providing that is to be my league, I think I can live with it, and may even be competitive. Mind you, equally I may end up in relegation trouble, all the teams seem pretty evenly matched, what do you reckon of my chances?

Cheers, Trev

PS, Bugssy, doubt very much that I'll smash you, there are 22 players in my squad, and I'm playing all of the "Other" eleven! There's a very good reason why none of them are in my team any longer! Providing my two Resp, near Prof, opening bowlers don't do you too much damage, you should be home and hosed.

 

[Scaly piscine]

That's what someone else worked out using the up-to-date runrates and so on. I've no reason to doubt it.

Nath, if you see this before Saturday, hurry up and accept the friendly. Gosh.

Haha, done. Looking foward to getting done.

Dreeeeeam catch me...

Challenged, you can be the first team to grace the Maidan Azteca-Kilimanjaro.

EDIT: I'm presuming when you said 'I don't know how competitive I will be' you meant you were too good. I'll bowl first if you like, make sure you get a game.

 

[Bobisback]

Won my playoff today, was upset, got up at 12 and it was all over.
6th place in my league threw their match, the auto promoters are whipping boys and so is the new 6th. Have a decent shot at top 4 next season.

EDIT:

Lol'ing at Sicelo taking 5, which makes his total career wickets 9.

Btw ***y ***y, better watch out, im up to Happy morale after that win.

note: I call Hakon ***y ***y Hakon or ***y ***y for short.

 

[Johnners]

Need a friendly, preferably someone who won't thrash me or vice versa

Smith needs a friendly, someone challenge him and he will accept tomorrow

Just bought this guy. Cost me £1.5m, but it was a more of a spur of the moment thing than anything else. I had to make sure I had a bit more depth with the ball. He'll be a useful OD player, maybe a second spinner in FC if I need it.

Any recommendations on good playoff games to watch today? The Gurs are sitting on the runway in their private jet, looking for a jolly-boys outting!

Well I've got my opponents 54-8 so mine won't be lasting much longer.

And 57 all out in 20 overs.

Meh, hard to say - not a bad price by market standards. They're about 3000 BTR off the minimum, I would think it's unlikely to be in the stamina, so with any luck their bowling sublevel will be decent.

As long as you intend training them properly they're ok.
