Mike I assume you are playing full strength on Sunday with Bertos, Hook and co?

BARNES OUT
Of course he would be. Without them he'd certainly lose.

Is the rest of his team that bad?...I was under the impression Wilson was quite handy at the Battrick.
EDIT: Sriram, I just saw that your 2nd in your league, how in all heck did that happen? Did Soepvork beat you?

His got a couple other good players outside Hook and Bertos; Dylan and Hogg are probably the best around proficient-strong mark. His built his side basically around one or two players which means he hasn't got much depth ATM. But i think he decide to train a few more guys rather then flood Bertos and Hook with nets, so he probably will have more depth in a season or two.
His side is pretty similar to Cloete with a couple guns, but Cloete guns are all rounders and have slight better primaries overall. Also his got a 3rd pillar in Blackmore, where as Hogg and Dylan aren't that reilable yet. But apparently Blackmore pretty useless most of the time.

Oy Cricket Boy! Don't I count as a friend? I challenged Sad Decadent XI on Tuesday and still haven't had an answer?

Yeah, they GFI'ed on a favorable pitch. Will beat them later on in the season, though.

Good Stuff, looks like a pretty even match-up.
Tomorrow I'm on a high-risk TIE strategy against a side whose ratings are usually Resp/Med/Abs - Resp/Comp/Feeb, as opposed to my PAN ratings of Strong/Comp/Abs - Resp/Prof/Feeb. I'd normally PAN to be safe, but I've figured that if I'm going to do anything in the title race, after already losing two matches, I need to avoid defeat for the rest of the season. That means that I'm going to have to GFI once, possibly twice, so it's time to start getting some fitness in the bank against the easier sides in my next two matches. Besides, if I can't beat teams like that on TIE, then I've got no business competing for the title in any case.
BTW, did anyone have any thoughts on whether or not it's better to have Strong/Comp batting over Prof/Resp?
Later, Trev

138 Whenuapai CC
129 Withington Wonderers

And no no real thoughts towards strong/comp etc. ratings. Just pick the order that you think will work best.
