[33/3from3.3]

Methinks someone might need to make a sale...

No i don't because you only declare bancruptcy(sp?) after your under -350K so i'm good

 

[Adamc]

Hmm, now that they've removed all the bogus transfers (teams buying their own players) it turns out that I just made the most expensive transfer in BT history. That 19yo wonderful batsman is up to 2.65m though so might come close, and there's an 18yo wonderful bowler up for sale for 3m.

 

[brenoevo]

Iv got off to a good start in my qualifier match, won the toss and batting. Jayasuriya brought up his 50 in jus 34 balls and has been hogging all the strike, reminds me of a Gilchrist/Katich partnership with one guy smashing them and the other jus getting singles.
End of Over 10: 75-0, runrate=7.50
Spencer 5-0-41-0
Jayasuriya* 55 (38 balls)
Kennedy 19 (22 balls)

why would they do that they wouldnt make money or would they

 

[Adamc]

No, they wouldn't, they'd lose 5% of the transfer fee.

So how is buying your own players cheating.

[Adamc]

I dunno, did I say it was cheating?

 

[GotSpin]

Just got this message from my opposition today

Its going to be a battle of tie's then. After seeing the competition in your division, im hoping to lose also

 

[GotSpin]

Crap im going well.

End of Over 13: 102-2, runrate=7.85

Hopefully i start losing some wickets.

My bowling should be preety bad, as he is playing some decent batsmen.

i have a worthless allrounder bowling opening, with no one else above abysmal.

7/64 here

 

[GotSpin]

7/64 here

Lost a wicket. But it seems he just having his batsmen bowl. Since my bowlers will be so bad i think i have a chance.

End of Over 21: 146-3, runrate=6.95

 

[andyc]

Crucial partnership here for me, really needs to be broken.
I've got Miah- resp bat, woeful stamina, worthless conc, and Birchall- comp bat, med stamina, feeble conc. Miah so far on 16* (33) and Birchall 7* (16).

Edit: Damn, 7/110 now after 28. This partnership now worth 46

Edit again: And the next over, Miah is out. Two balls later, Birchall goes

 

[andyc]

End of Over 31: 117-10, runrate=3.77
Jennings 9-2-25-3
Giles* 0 (2 balls)

First part all over, now it's time to open the bowling my two worthless allrounders, both set to bowl their 10 on the trot.

 

[brenoevo]

Jayasuriya is still goin berserk, looks like he could have a double hundred on the cards...but i dont think qualifiers are counted in player stats damn...
End of Over 33: 263-0, runrate=7.97
Rogerson 7-0-61-0
Kennedy* 100 (86 balls)
Jayasuriya 156 (112 balls)

 

[andyc]

Jayasuriya currently 191 off 131

Anyway, my bowlers are going better than I expected, although there's only been two dot balls so far.
End of Over 3: 21-0, runrate=7.00, reqrunrate=2.06 (117-10)
Clayton 2-0-10-0
Bailey* 11 (12 balls)
Victory 7 (6 balls)

 

[brenoevo]

This is just crazy Jayasuriya jus brought up his 200 in 140 balls and its still only the 40th over. It doesnt look like the team im playing rigged the match either as he is playing the same team he always plays.

 

[Adamc]

Making up for the runs he missed out on against me. From memory play-offs don't count towards the stats on his player page but still appear on the membership stats, so if he gets higher than 237 he'll appear on the highest individual scores list (career) for Australia. If he gets more than 243 he'll be on the all countries list.

 

[andyc]

He's just hitting the singles now unfortunately, 214* off 153 with 5 overs left.

My game's going just as planned, they're 0/75 after 10.

 

[brenoevo]

this sucks there just scoring singles now...

End of Over 50: 411-0, runrate=8.22
Rogerson 10-0-83-0
Jayasuriya* 232 (166 balls)
Kennedy 171 (134 balls)

Annoying jus missed out on the records page then.
