Yes, and to be fair they attacked or slogged every delivery they faced but just weren't good enough to score more than 1 off 10 balls!
Hope FHK will lighten your mood a little later in the CUP

Yes, desperately unlucky Cowboy, that's a gut wrencherI actually forgot we were still in the Cup. Didn't set orders. Seems like my exhausted top order got us off to a bad start. Yikes.
Moooo with heartbreak in the Cup as well

Needn't have worried. 91 run victory, onto Round 6, with only 16 teams remaining!
And guess who we face in Round 6? None other than Jura CC! Absolutely brutal to have the last two standing CW sides face off at such a crucial stage

Oh no that is gutting news ! I had a quick look at the last 16 after the matches ended and before the draw was made and found Jura to be the 15th strongest team - I thought the only teams I had a 50/50 chance against were Basco and Mentone. Free HK I rate the 12th best team left - so it is a good draw for them to get us - i suppose in terms of getting to the Quarters it at least gives us an outside hope but at the expense one way or the other of a fellow CWC team.Needn't have worried. 91 run victory, onto Round 6, with only 16 teams remaining!

My tips for the winners are either Jims X1 (WR 23) or West Row Wyverns (WR22) even though 6 of the Top WR 8 teams are still in it - there you go - sticking my neck out and making a fool of myself!
I have never been anywhere near this far in the CUP before - Jura is having a good season on the whole and it had been great to have this extra match for IGT every fortnight, whilst just being on the edge in terms of fitness levels for the squad
if that SS could be a couple higher they would be such a gun player (not that they aren't already). 10 stamina already with 16 potential. Reverse swinger and Iceman from afar seem like very good characteristics too, could even be your captain in the future too.

Another unexpected TMO win in the CWC6... I say unexpected because while I still have some decent batting interspersed with dodgy batting lost my last true frontline bowler in Passmore turning 22... but somehow the dev team still finds ways to win. Nkumane again an absolute revelation.
@SillyCowCorner1 GG cc must not lose to the TNTs in the T20... they are there to collect sponsorship monies, ground monies and experience. Not to win games!

Pick the 54 avg batsmen.... get the 46 potential reverse swing bowler... stumped scouting is an amusing dice role!
Got a 47 potential bowler at Winton today - wonder looking in here if it is just coincidence or youth pulls have now improved in quality.
Also Winton dropped off top of our T20 Div today after losing today to a BOT. Almost worst still we batted out all 20 overs batting first - have put a big emphasis on IGT where possible but got the balance a bit wrong today.

Not based on my pulls from the TMOs....
But I am starting to wonder about percentage basis... obviously they have a sort of statistically determined max for number of players with high potential to try keep the game balanced. In other words I don't think its all totally 100 % random. Possibly also nation based? So I also wonder on any one Wednesday when you get your scouts if it is better to pull straight away or later.
As an example lets say you have a 100 stats predetermined players in database available you based on some game curve of potentials, first player does his pull and it randomly decides you get player 98... then the next person pulls and only has 99 players left and so on and so forth. But the point is if you where luck enough to get the one decent player first then the there 99 people would never ever get an opportunity at it... thus if you are pulling later in the day rather than earlier while you have a small statistical chance only but you still get an opportunity. Whereas when you pull late if 50 people have pulled on the database already you may actually have no chance because that player has already been taken!
Now this is very basic way it probably far more complex and stats driven along with other things, but I do wonder if the overall effect may be the same! I base this off the number of good pulls I`ve had with TNT's now in a very short space of time when I compare to the TMOs... it could just be luck but it does make me wonder.

Very interesting idea - you'd have to keep a record of your pull times over a few years! or if we all did it over a few months! As there is only about 250? teams it is quite a small population of data
Oh and by the way my recent pulls have been dire for both teams! quality hasnt improved in my neck of the woods !

I think the five options' averages are randomly generated on the spot, and then I'm pretty sure, based on the averages a player is semi-randomly generated (with averages correlating with skills most probably).
I don't think it's anything too complex, but I do think it's a very nice system to establish a sense of anticipation on each and every Wednesday - maybe that's just because I've got lucky though!

Thats what I originally thought... but in the discussion (on the forum) around increasing the number of good players it was quite clear that there is a deliberate cap put on it... how that is implemented I`m unsure about.
Maybe I've missed it in past but seems like its rare for (at least) 3 of us to get good youth pulls, 2 of them by 6am. But may just be a coincidence and seen you've mentioned there has been talk of a deliberate cap on good youth pulls so maybe I just need to do my youth pull for Winton the same time next week - was a couple hours earlier than my posg during my break if I recall correctly.
And yeah guess if there is some correlation between averages and potential an early pick will always be better as we aren't picking completely blind then if most are then picking based on averages.
Also see you (@StephenZA) have listed my former batter from my early Stumped days. Would fill an important role for us but also would be nice for him to teach the next gen at Winton

Apparently he is worth more than I thought... I am doing a quick clear out of some coaching staff, planning to do a bit more cross purpose coaching at lower skill levels.
And having set a high max bid price for a coach you are now guaranteed to get at least 78k for him with 66 hours of bidding still left
