On a more serious note... anybody up for some 50 over friendlies against TMOs, want to check out how the bowling is going against some not BOT opposition!

As another aside. what is everyone's take on:

I`m really really wanting to get myself a 20 potential skill keeper, but I just don't know enough if 4 defense is gonna just turn him into an absolute walking wicket that hardly ever comes off. And I have concerns with having a slogging wk that has the strike rotator ability...

@Krypto do you agree that #BQdoesNotMatter!! :D
No i don't agree lol , its a percentage or odds game . Yea your going to get the odd one going against the percentages however for the most part it wont happen like that . May the odd be forever in your favor . ? However it is nice when it goes your way , my t20 this week i wouldve never ever taught i would've won that game 33 for 5 in 5 chasing 172 . 129 run 6th wicket partnership at 10.3 an over . It matters lol .

BTW i think you won your game due to a future international bowler getting their best ever figures and maybe i sign off what is to come .

I was contemplating putting a late bid on him gonna take a lot of work to get him close to potential and worth the effort . If he had better starting skills i would've gone for him as a t20 specialist . Now im still not sure .

He went from 4k to over 350k in a hurry and way over what i would've paid for him considering the effort to get him trained up .

The training is one of my biggest issues, you need to be able to give him maximum game time and keeper training. So either a new or rebuilding squad. And I'm still unsure of he would perform batting wise.

Shot Selection is king. Although the nerf to slogging isn’t ideal.

Winton CC beat Ashgrove Astronauts! :-O 8k ratings gap, 59k for AA suggests a slightly less than full strength XI?
Gert in for Megan’s with Goonerwardene (5 skill) to keep.
Ghous in for Kudesia (loses some batting)
Schmidt in for Lang (less skill but higher var)

I regret putting Curtis Emery up for sale at such a low starting price - opened batting vs GG - 113 off 51 balls including 98 in 6's and 4's - then took 2 catches and 2 stumpings.... before delivering 2 fingers to the Geese management in respect of his transfer
