End of Over 2: 11-0, runrate=5.50, reqrunrate=6.50 (127-6)
Tau	1-0-6-0
Mohammed*	6 (6 balls)
Chanderpaul	5 (6 balls)

Hmm. Might be a close run thing.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Bender Bending were in my league a few years back, they'll ****ing smash you.

I caned my league, oddly enough playing a team I threw a playoff against a few years ago. They also happen to be in the same league as Bender Bending. Small world, eh.

Bender Bending

Rodriguez?

I'm up against a pretty decent div III team with a respectable lower order. There should be around 40 teams left in the WI competition, so six more rounds including this one. I think I'll probably be getting GFI'd every match from here on, so I'll have to play my good players and rely on whatever PFL and team fitness advantage I may have. Whitehorne, Watkins, Ashton, Cuss, Downer and Harewood are all sublime.

 

[Agent TBY]

And that's the end of the match. Citizens Erased won by 8 wickets.
RRD Israel	127-6
Citizens Erased	128-2
 
 
End of Over 16: 128-2, runrate=8.00
Mitten	2-0-16-0
Karthikeyan*	11 (4 balls)
	60 (45 balls)
 
15.3 	6	Mitten to Mohammed
 	 	Mohammed steps foward and hammers the ball straight out of the stadium. Great shot!

Hmm. Pretty easy in the end.

Pretty much everyone there should pop in their secondary in the coming weeks.

 

[chaminda_00]

Challenge me.

I'll do it later tonight, most likely playing a 2nd XI as well.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Yeah me too, as much as I can anyway.

 

[Adamc]

FC being introduced, TFL scrapped. (y) From what I've seen in testing I'm pretty confident that FC will be here to stay this time.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Great news! It'll be interesting to see what the implications of scrapping TFL will be - I'm hoping it'll benefit my side as I think my squad have quite high individual levels of stamina compared to other teams that have been around for the same length of time as mine.

 

[Agent TBY]

Screwed.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Glad that TIE/GIF will affect PFLs instead. I can see a ton of teams playing reserve lineups in the BT20 now given if you made the final your team will be practically playing nonstop.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

itstl. I'm fuxxored.

 

[chaminda_00]

Yeah me too, as much as I can anyway.

Challenged btw.

Hmm looks like i'm going to have only two games in two weeks. But if the fixtures for ODs are the same as usually then i'll be playing the side that came 2nd in my new league first up. With the nature of D3 in Sri Lanka thats pretty much a most win game so i need my players high sublime, 2nd XI it is.

The TFL is meh, yeah it helps but never noticed a major impact on performance just ratings. I got all my main players up to medicore plus stamina now, but looking at Twenty20 you need respectable plus if you want guys to play pretty much every match and still be sublime. Going to be interesting to see how i'm going to manage PFLs this season, especially with Murali and Jeithoon getting 4 nets for most of next season.

This was what interested me the most but:

Your FC league will be different from your OD league and drawn on a semi-random basis, based on your current OD league position and level.

Looks like i'm going to be in Division Two or Three, based on that.

 

[chaminda_00]

Glad that TIE/GIF will affect PFLs instead. I can see a ton of teams playing reserve lineups in the BT20 now given if you made the final your team will be practically playing nonstop.

Yeah i found that interesting as well that the guys still in Twenty20 until day before FC starts and after the first Cup match. I thought cus they limited it to domestic sides they would still finish a week before.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Accepted, playing the worst team, if you don't win your guys are downers.

 

[Adamc]

Looks like i'm going to be in Division Two or Three, based on that.

Pretty sure the top two leagues will be bots.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

So if Australia gets a div 6, who is in it? Just bots and people who join up after the start of this season? Or will people be demoted from 5 retroactively?

 

[chaminda_00]

Accepted, playing the worst team, if you don't win your guys are downers.

Might unleash my bowling attack of comp/comp/med/fee/aby and see what happens then. Allison (abysmal/feeble) has bugging me to give him another bowl.
