Stumped!

With some scouting luck and judicious buying (time will tell!) the TMOs have managed to keep the production line of the development team strong; hopefully allowing for a consistent competitive TMOs that can maintain high performance for the next 6+ seasons... At the moment the biggest development priority is that of a young Sanne Langenhoven... hoping to get her into the 1st team asap.
All the best :)

BQ really doesn’t matter if you have five spinners, 50/50 skill bowling on a wicket suited for medium pacers who move it a bit due to overhead conditions.

Truly detest this game sometimes...

Looks like I`m going to have one of those seasons of no luck, and losing games I should win. The apparent blind statistics has the finger on the scale against me.
And so the season continues for TMO...

@StephenZA's lot set to give us a right rollicking in our top of the table clash in the t20's. Will still give it a go with my best team and see how it plays out.
I would not worry about it... played my weaker TNT team so not going for the win as such. But still bowled first on a worn home wicket. Outrate my opponent by 10K and still TNT getting the **** kicked out of them....

#Ratings do not matter! #BQ is irrelevant!

I am going through a series of practice matches between TMOs and TNTs... that are quite interesting. Playing home and away. Making one batting change to the TMO team (its the reason for the matches!)... they are ranked relatively close to each in the World ranking (60 odd and 50 odd). And the Expert previews show them both hovering at around 61K to 62K. Better batting from TMOs and better bowling from TNTs. TNT less experience. TMOs always batting first (even on worn TNT pitch). So far it has been a drubbing. TMOs have absolutely smashed TNTs in both cases.

Ironically enough TNT beat a similar rated (59K) Wickers Warriors in the Cup yesterday... in comparison the TMOs managed a dismal failure in the Cup the previous round losing to a lower rated team. Along with some impressive other losses to lower rated teams.

Contrary to my entire life choices... numbers are meaningless... (or rather in Stumped the numbers given are meaningless and irrelevant.)

Another two games home and away between TNT and TMOs, same teams, same orders. given same players. Two completely different pitches. The performance of individual players to get us to a result is different. Final result almost identical regardless of everything else. TMOs absolutely annihilate TNT.
