Had my first win in Division III.7! Woop! Woop!

Sitting bottom of my First Class league though with 2 sound thrashings behind me, but finally some points on the board!

You must have, without rival and without doubt, the worst tactics in BT history, because it's gotten to the point where I'm not even surprised that you've choked.

Nah tactics has nothing to do with it. They changed the ME to reduce collapses. Though im pretty sure they just flip a coin, winner wins the match. Then everything is just randomly generated.

Going okay in my cup match. They basically have 1 decent batsman who is playing a lone hand (is 20yo and a bt rating of 30k).

End of Over 36: 115-7, runrate=3.19
Gleeson 8-3-19-2
Eckstein* 56 (73 balls)
Mellor 0 (11 balls)
Last Wicket: Forde lbw b. Gleeson 15 (FOW: 109/7)

He's only named 4 bowlers, 3 of which are mediums, and they'd be about Quality primary at most. Doesn't seem to have an all-rounder or 5th bowler anywhere. One guy has bowled 29 overs in a career, probably him.

 

[Bobisback]

Have won my cup match.

 

[Robertinho]

****ing hell, I just lost my Cup match. such ****ing bull****.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Won mine, but was away to a Div 6 bot so only 20k in $$$.

Sadface.

 

[NZTailender]

Won, playing a bot next week. Easily the furthest we've made it.

 

[Bobisback]

Playing a Div V mid table team. Just realised i GFI'd my past two cup games, why stop now?

 

[andyc]

Cleaned up the cup match, Canning took 5/4 and Potters 4/13. Will win my next one too.

 

[Mahindinho]

Won my cup match on a TIE -- got an easy one next week, which is nice.

My bowlers are starting to get knackered though, and I can't afford to rest them in FC

 

[andruid]

Won, playing a bot next week. Easily the furthest we've made it.

There are bots left while active managers like me are being bundled out at the first hurdle

BREAKING News -

Grady Allison stuns JayD XI in today's cup match with figures of 5/8 from 3.5 overs. Just noting...

 

[nibbs]

There are bots left while active managers like me are being bundled out at the first hurdle

all the smaller clubs wanted this to happen, and unfortunately they are ones who probably suffer the most from the changes.

Great pops This means Appleyard is close to superb bowling and Mullis is close to sensational. One more pop for Mullers.

Damnit Tharmi, you owe me about 15 seconds of life back.

 

[Dead Badger]

Bumper week, with pops for all my top 5. Now if only form would stop kicking me in the nadgers, it'd be just great. Still really need a new trainee, though. Any of you jammy buggers who pulled multiple high respectable 17yos fancy listing one for nowt?

Haha, I see the guy I got to buy Coburn from me for 15m has a nigh on 16m bid for him. The world has gone mad.
