Honestly, this win is better then the win over you, when you failed to chase 70.

Hiller scored 94, which is probably the 100th 90 for my team this season, stopped counting at around 5. Lovin' that Gravey scored 35*(21), Resp-Feeb that.

Waiting for Rodgie to log in an give me a whole bunch of excuses why the he lost.

 

[Johnners]

Managed to somehow defeat Smith by 6 wickets.

[Agent TBY]

Er, I've auto-promoted to Division II. Not looking forward to that, to be honest.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

That's one thrashing less for me next year though.

**** made 1428 at 158 in all competitions. I'm definitely going to need another bowler before next season, ideally a superb seamer, but I might have to settle for a strong with decent secondaries and stamina. With FC on the way, I need depth and just don't have it.

Do many people think they will end up using poor quality bowlers (competent at my level, higher for most others) as a 5th option in either form next season. A spinner with high stamina might be a huge bonus in the FC games; two would allow you to get away with a really weak second or third seamer.

No pops, "smashed" my 20/20 league with the bug, everyone making some runs, got a playoff on Friday that I'll lose, lost to Clapo convincingly.

(Y) for Battrick.

 

[Johnners]

Bloody hell, after the NRR recalculations, i've now promoted to a league where i'll be getting smashed every other week. If both the 5th & 6th place guys win their playoffs i should be able to compete with them, so hopefully the other guy to autopromote is crap enough to give me a chance at 5th or 6th spot.

You've really only got about three trainees worth training as far as I can see. A possible training set up could be something like:

Shoe on at least one bat, one bowl and a field. Preferably two bowling though, and a fitness if you can fit it in.
Eastwood on two bat, one fitness.
Clarkson on a bowl, a fielding and a fitness. Clarkson needs a fair bit of work though, and given that he'll be in 19 in a few weeks, you might want to list him tbh.
As for the rest, fire Gibb and Jarvis, sell Waddell and Willingham and buy some comp+ trainees in the new season. Also, as soon as the new season rolls around, spend use your ITS to try and pull some gun trainees.

Just the one pop for me today though, but a good one.

[cricketboy29]

Some good performances for me, with R.Abdul Kadir topping the averages in my league.

1. Abdul kadir (Sad Decadent XI) 1360@ 272.00

In the bowling, the less said the better, probably going to have rejig it. Rao and Clarkson putting in a creditable performance of 21@26, and 23@26 respectively. But one thinks, we're going to need something a tad more impressive than that, to acutally achieve anything in this league.

What on earth do I do about Chanderpaul's concentration? Have him on two batting and one fielding net, and it seems ridiculous not to give him two nets at this age.

Makwetla's looking pretty neat. All my bowlers are superb+ now.

Give him a keeping net too?
