    Battrick

    Just don't spend it :ph34r: Seriously, are you making a fortnightly profit? That's the first worry for a new team.

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    I've updated this post with the team Ids, and also reversed this week's fixtures. AndyC, I've rejected your challenge and re-challenged you, at your place rather than mine. I'm so going to lose!

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    Phew! Right, I've got to go home. Won't be online until tomorrow, so hope that's enough to go on, and acceptable to all those involved. Again, sorry I've left it so late. Meant to sort it all out on Sunday, but I seem to have found myself a girlfriend and spent just about the whole weekend...

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    So, I've drawn up the teams, ranked them, and come up with some seedings. Central Districts and Magical Ponies were the closest split, with the former shading it thanks to a previous RU spot in the CW Cup. "CW Rating" is taken from the Ratings thread. For Killers and Dee Crew, I've taken the...

    CW Battrick Cup (season 13)

    Agreed. The other possibility is 3 groups of 4, but this way allows a bit greater flexibility. I think we've only got six more friendly dates this season -- last league fixture is 11/9, so add one that week, and one after. We'll have 4 groups of 3, STARTING THIS SUNDAY. I _think_ we'll have...

    What cricket team do you support?

    Lancashire and Sri Lanka...although I rarely manage to follow the county game properly. Well, there goes the Tebbitt test...

    Me too. Started using it about two seasons ago. While I don't make use of it's match tracking functionality, it's still a very very good tool.

    Murali to retire from Test Cricket

    Ooops! And congrats.

    I didn't see it either, but I followed a fair chunk on Cricinfo, and was looking at the fall of wicket numbers rather than the individual scores.

    Murali to retire from Test Cricket

    To be fair, he did first and foremost announce his Test retirement, which is only next year. Such a pity he couldn't play more Tests in England. Legend, and a thoroughly nice bloke.

    I can't say I agree -- looks to me more like steady wickets falling on a bowling pitch. 200 is a defendable total at Dambulla, and this match was no exception.

    Allan Donald - 'Legalise ball tampering'

    Surely detailed videos of the bowlers actually represent far more of an advantage for the batsmen? Cricket by its nature is an uneven game -- the batsmen are reactive, reacting to what the bowlers deliver to them. You can argue that a good batsman can force the field to change, etc. but he...

    Thanks -- that's very good to know.

    *Official* Pakistan in Sri Lanka

    I've really liked what I've seen of Mathews -- seems like an intelligent cricketer who relishes the big occasion and rises accordingly...which is more than you can say of an awful lot of Lankans! He doesn't seem too bothered by the short ball, either. However, that's mostly been T20 -- does he...

    *Official* Pakistan in Sri Lanka

    So, say Dilshan averages 40 with the bat against Prasanna's 15 (hypothetically speaking). That's 50 extra runs over two innings of a Test. It would only take a dropped catch and a reasonable amount of byes conceded before Dilshan drops into a virtual run deficit, if you see what I mean. The...

    Chaminda Vaas...

    McGrath's a strange case, anyway, in that his main asset was his accuracy, rather than his pace, swing or aggression. Every single ball would be 90%+ (where 100% would be the best ball he's ever bowled), whereas most pace bowlers would fire down a few 70%ers every over. If I had to choose a...

    Dilshan likes to be involved. I'm not sure it's to the benefit of the team, though. Won't be long term, anyway, plus it allows an extra "youngster" to be picked for this series. I'm actually quite happy -- SL finally seem to have new players coming through at a decent rate.

    Chaminda Vaas...

    What he said ^^^ :cool: Awesome bowler. I'll never forget the time I was slightly late to Headingley for an ODI. Having missed the first four overs of England's innings, on a baking hot day, the scoreboard read 2/0, Vaas having bowled two maidens (I caught the highlights later -- they were...
