It was a dusty pitch, so I guess it stands to reason that Griffin got out. Pity, he was 12th on the Australian averages.

Easy win by 10 wickets..

Do you think a Proficient-Abysmal-Mediocre can bat well in our league? Because Ive got Proficent-Comp-Comps who are shaky. Then again, Omardeen who is Comp-Resp-Med scored 93.

Btw, on the topic of Medium pacers, good for keeping runs down, then eh?. Might be useful.

As well as that, I'm quite ****ed of at the dearth of affordable decent allrounders.

What price range are you looking at? I tend to find that allrounders are a bargain, as they're usually a lot cheaper than buying two separate players with the same skills. You also save on nets as you only need to train stamina and secondaries once instead of twice on separate players. The only drawback is PFLs, which admittedly could be quite a big problem next season.

Awesome allround game from Hook.

I'm getting pillaged by Leeds United. They scored 348/3 and I'm 180/3 after 36 so think I'm not going to win.

My bowling attack is rubbish and Chanderpaul who is a quality-respectable can't buy a run at the moment. Is it anything to do with his destructive temperament perhaps?

PS What do people reckon about changing some of the thread names now that we have our own forum? Just thinking for new people who join up, it isn't that obvious where to start. Suggestions for name? And does it need stickying?

 

[chaminda_00]

Won my match pretty easier, rolled them for 171 and got it with one wicket down. Only really thing of any note is that Rangana got his first 5fer for the season after a re-call.

[AussieDominance]

will he have any one left?

 

[Adamc]

Bah, he's got no good bowlers so they're useless to me.

 

[PY]

Snob.

 

[AussieDominance]

who else is finding battrick very slow?

 

[nooga99]

Slow here to

 

[AussieDominance]

its taking like 30 seconds just to recognise i clicked a link

 

[Adamc]

Snob.

Well he only listed one bowler who's okay, but he's got woeful stamina.

As for why the site is slow, it's because of the England league matches.

 

[AussieDominance]

well there is only 1 bowler and its so slow because of the England league matches it doesnt usually get this low but

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bleh they could have waited til the afternoon to list their players.

Anyway got my opponents 107-6, into the bowlers already so hopefully with my high consistency bowlers to come back on they'll be polished off quickly.

 

[Adamc]

well there is only 1 bowler and its so slow because of the England league matches it doesnt usually get this low but

It's no slower than it is every Friday. It seems to be fine now, taking five seconds max to load for me.

What's going on with BT at the moment (aside from being stupidly slow)?

- I have about 6 people who I've listed but it isn't showing up on my offers page or my squad page yet they are listed on their profiles and I'm getting bids for them so they are showing up on the list. It's an error somewhere!

- My game which finished about 3 hours ago still hasn't gone to scoreboard etc and I haven't got the money for gates yet.

- My new signing got lost for about 4 hours in the system and didn't have him in my squad even though the money had gone out of my account and couldn't pick him for my game.

Are these things normal or is BT getting that Friday feeling?
