CW Battrick Cup (Season 11)

Shouldn't Nath come in for Nibbs then? Would make sense.

And thanks for the info, Trev.

PPS, No worries Nibbs, look forward to seeing your rejuvenated side next term - And don't sell Duggan, you'll regret it in the long-run. Look at Adam, sold Cuss, lost that personal investment in his side, and now he's drifting away from the game altogether. At risk of revealing exactly how sad I am, I think everyone needs at least a handful of players in your side who you genuinely care about - Who's personal lives are the subjects of your lavatory download pondering time. If they simply become binary means to a virtual end, then you'll soon lose the will to lavish such a ridiculously inordinate amount of your employer's time on them.

True. Very very true.

Speaking from Hattrick, which I played long enough to go through two cycles of team-building, there's just nothing like the first time. The first crop of players you nurtured, the first (not-so-)superstars you bought. It'll be with great sadness that I retire any one of my super seven first-batch trainees.

Bit dramatic.

 

[Robertinho]

Bit dramatic.

Who are you kidding? You're no tough guy.

 

[Adamc]

Yeah, not sure how to respond to that non sequitur tbh.

 

[Bobisback]

Won my game easily. Taking the cup this year.

I'm not required for this weekend am I? I accepted a challenge from Pacific Penguins before thinking about it. If I am, just give my spot to Patto or something.

 

[headhunter]

End of Over 7: 38-1, runrate=5.43, reqrunrate=1.14 (86-10)
Ross 4-0-16-1

Getting owned!

Still one more group round left i think, so you have next week off.

 

[chaminda_00]

End of Over 50: 346-4, runrate=6.92
Duke 10-0-88-1
Cramar* 31 (20 balls)

Murali gets his 3rd century in OD matches, ever.

That would be very embarrassing.

He still has McMillan, who i think is decent batsmen.

Anyway another wicket now.

Funniest game so far. Will be funnier when you lose though.

 

[alternative]

Sure thing.

 

[alternative]

Its all over. Huge win for me, extremely happy obviously.

And that's the end of the match. Alternative XI won by 140 runs.
Alternative XI 192-10
Anchormen 52-10

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

****ing hell, night goes from bad to worse. Now I'll have to play ****ing Anchormen as well.

**** you tozz.

 

[Mahindinho]

Okay, so how exactly did Malik and Henry not manage to make more of a game of it?

Mashed 'im by 142 runs (217/4 vs 75ao), with John's 4/17 from 6 overs (the wickets of #2 to #5) the standout. No matter who the MoTM supposedly was.

I believe that means a clash of the Lankans for top spot in the GROUP of DEATH.

Farking battrick changed my default orders

Barry shouldn't of played.
