Stumped!

[andruid]

It was all set up for my prime Ian Botham-esque captain to come in and score the vital runs and close out a shock upset. Alas he was out for a First ball duck.

He made up for it with a man-of-the-match, batsman-of-the-match, bowler-of-the-match trifecta in the OD match

Scores a winning century at a 125 SR in rnd 4 of the CUP, with no touch... pretty much winning TNT the game... and ends with a bruised ego! How sensitive is he? How bad was the sledging in match?

Hopefully he recovers some touch by the time his ego recovers!

He should go back music collecting on this downtime

Stefan Van De Merwe to Tim Wacura

146.3 kph

Missed Chance! Excellent line, just missing off stump, Wacura goes agricultural. Really late on that and it's in the air. To no-mans-land. The batsmen get an easy single. Surely scoring off a ball that good was nothing but luck? Only time will tell. With that they win the match.

Losing my T20 today on the last ball with this is heart breaking however classic stumped , last over drama .

Purchased Oscar Cousins off the TM. Happy to get him for under a mil especially given his fielding ability. 28yo 43 skill bat skewed aggressive (the sloggier the better, after all). It's like there's a quadrifecta of great hitters now (Smith, Butler, Mncwabe, Cousins) – this is what happens when just two of them properly fire; what happens when all four do so? I'm also hopeful he can do a job as a bowler. Only 32 skill, but unorthodox action, SLA, and – most importantly – Economical. Bona fide discount Michael Winton (miss you).

Wilde has just turned 22. Complete bunny with bat and dreadful in field, but being a 153kph, 49 pot late bloomer, he'll be AXI's for the next 10–11 seasons (he's already 44 skill!).

All this means that we currently have 13 senior players in our squad. Which means it's time to farewell a couple of players who are getting on. First, Agam Naidoo has been better than expected in his interregnum of a stint as all-rounder. Good powerplay bowler and a surprisingly effective batter, belying his mere 33 skill. Two competitive knocks in particular were absolutely stellar: in SOD 1.1 and in the Cup. The move to sign him, squarely an #8, to bat #7 certainly paid off.

Richard Daly was only ever intended to be a short-term signing, but has become one of the side's greats. He's hung on for a long time, but at 32 it's finally time to let him go. A fantastically prolific wicket-taker, he capped off his career by being picked for England in an ODI despite being only 40 skill. His batting and fielding were both also useful. Most remarkable however, and his greatest strength, has been his stamina at 17 or 18 throughout his career. Bowling 10-over spells starting about halfway through the innings, I never once saw him get fatigued. His spells were consistently match-winning, bowling in tandem with Economical bowlers helping no end in his ability to get 3-fers every second game (seriously). Recently, though he's always been expensive, it's been sad to see his spell produce more harm than good.

Any new developments on the new season of CW League?

If not, I'm opened to play 50-over friendly across my two teams, Moooo CC and GG CC.

Thanks.

I presume @Jarquis is in. Anyone else I am missing?

@Charlie B @Magrat Garlick would be great to have you both back!

 

[cnerd123]

I'm up for it - what is the plan on the format?

one big group seemed to drag a bit for CWC9.

Looks like we have 14 teams for CWC10. Maybe we do two groups this time, seeded on SOD global rankings, and a single round robin in each. Top three teams from each go into a Super Six for the Cup, with an Eliminator + Final, and the remaining eight teams into a Plate Comp. Plate could be Quarter Finals based on group standings, and then losers of each KO stage facing off in play-off matches for final rankings.

 

[cnerd123]

Of course, would love for some new teams to kick off CWC10

@NZTailender @Himannv @Son Of Coco @kaetor @HeathDavisSpeed @Number 11 @Bobisback @Starris @dontcloseyoureyes @kingkallis @Shri play with us!

I need to make some difficult calls and thus have put a spinner on offer for 200k . Below his skills , the question is his evaluation fair or am I putting it to high for offer ?

He would be a tough one for me, I probably would not spend $200K on him, but that is because I already don't like finger spinners (even though they stupidly over powered in stumped) and also I don't like the low stamina. Bullet arm high fielding is a nice combo... put always feels hit and miss (see what I did there!!)...

Anyway, my things is $200K feels high.

FHK (final hurrah)

forgot about this. I've really enjoyed following them – now that their golden gen is pretty mature, how are they going as a side?
