it happened to me when I first played it because I just suck at the game...

Nah I knew it happened, just hadn't heard of it happening to an active user. Can you sign up again? You'd be hard pressed to get a worse starting team!

i've signed up again. This time for a team in Australia. It kinda bugged me how everyone was talkign about results n stuff on Fridays while I had to wait another full day...

Wow Greg that really bad luck, but i guess hopefully you will get a better team next time.

Won my match against Sad Decadent XI quite easierly in the end, but my guess is that we were playing against a 2nd XI. But i don't care that my first win against a fellow CricketWeb team, so im quite happy.

Jaffna Jets - 3/328(50)

Nurse 142(130) - MOTM
Quintin 98(135)
Ellis 55*(31)

Sad Decadent XI - 110 All Out

Priyantha 3/35(9)
Dowall 2/13(5)
Baptiste 2/11(4)

Playing quality bowlers probably sucks too. Forgot to change my lineup since the match was so early.

Third match in a row Crouch has been stranded, I think. Grounds for promotion.

Ah well, least your players got a run out.

Pity that I only got 5k from the ground receipts. Think we should have had it at yours.

It's pretty early isn't it?

Your guess would be right there, Tharmi. I had rested three key playes, and wanted to try a few different things. But the win is yours by rights.

ash stevens looks like he could turn out to be a damn good player

 

[ash chaulk]

lets just say HE better!... i have a bad bowling attack and i need him to pull thru

 

[AussieDominance]

yeah i guess sounds like a decent plan

 

[Robertinho]

Absolutely no pops. First time I haven't had any

At least I have a couple coming. I think, in the next month, I should see -

Mclaren (Batting -> respectable, Stamina -> respectable)
Gray (Batting -> quality, Conc -> quality, Keeping -> proficient)
Mcmillan (Bowling -> strong, Cons -> proficient)

Gray's batting and Mcmillan's bowling will probably take the longest, 3-4 weeks I'm thinking.

 

[cricketboy29]

No pops for me either this week...Thorp should've popped to Quality sometime ago...
