I'm fairly pissed at BT at the moment. I am 100% sure I set my B team as default orders for BT20 before I left, but my A team has been playing the whole time, so now I'm PFL ****ed.

Might be that default orders set in OD doesn't get into BT20.

Still, the BT20s should have been up ages ago. Par for the course really, never do anything in advance.

 

[EARLOBE]

That sucks, I've got a big OD game this friday.

I've been away, that's why I set my orders in advance. I probably should have had a closer look though.

Just updated my team's career OD stats.

Turns out Jeithoon just took over as leading wicket taker in Jet's history. Priyantha is still playing and it will probably go up an down during this season. Priyantha should play quite a few games, as we try and fix our PFL issues. Willetts also joined the 100 wicket club.

Jeithoon	183
Priyantha	182
Sishayi	        126
Muralitharan	122
Dowdall	        117
Willetts	104

Batting wise no real changes, Lucas moved ahead of Quintin earlier in the season. Murali should climb that list pretty fast, when he can play more games.

Clayton	        5507
Ellis	        5324
Lucas	        4942
Quintin	        4503
Ferrier	        2501
Nurse	        2026
Muralitharan	1546
Obeysekera	1423
Allison	        1056

Hunter represents: 52/10 (O'Grady 6/19 - took his second hat-trick in two matches; Lock 2/14)

Adamc. The Sri Lankan Elite/Elite bowler listed. I'm thinking about signing him up. But is he worth 14.5million? Or would this probably go down as the latest **** up from the Whenuapai manager.

 

[Dead Badger]

Somewhat perversely, despite being unbeaten I have a must-win game today, thanks to an upset in another match leaving two teams right behind me on points, and ahead on NRR due to my heavy squad rotation. Meant to GFI it, but forgot. At least I have a full strength team out, but the opposition are actually not terrible (unless you count being stuck in the same div IV since pretty much the start of Battrick as terrible, and you'd have a point).

I say "must win" - I wouldn't exactly cry at going out of the BT20, but it would be a bit annoying.

Edit: Having taken a majestic one wicket in perfect seam conditions, it looks like I'm buggered:

End of Over 20: 206-1, runrate=10.30
Oleary 4-0-41-0
Spencer* 101 (61 balls)
Cash 102 (53 balls)
Last Wicket: Fox Run Out 2 (FOW: 2/1)

 

[chaminda_00]

Through to next round of BT20. Ended up playing my basic 1st XI in the last two matches after squad rotation wasn't helping my PFLs at all. Everyone bar Murali (fresh) is invigorated or energetic. Tempted to talk Murali of his nets for a week, so he can recover a bit for our top of table FC and OD matches. But all my other trainees are all struggling a tad as well. Got a fairly easy two weeks after that, so I might just sort it out in those two weeks.

3rd and 4th place tied their game yerterday leaving both 10 points behind me with 1 game to play. And what's more the 4th place team is a bot

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

End of Over 4: 28-2, runrate=7.00, reqrunrate=10.44 (194-4)
**** 2-0-3-2
Bartlett* 1 (2 balls)
Sutton 12 (10 balls)

Last Wicket: Knight c. Jarrett b. **** 15 (FOW: 27/2)



The guy who has figures of 2/3 is a competent bowler on invigorated fitness, and the two men he got out are proficient with sublime PFL. Stupid 20:20...

Kurt, I would say no, because his wages are ridiculous and not sustainable in the long-term. I would suggest nothing higher than masterful.

150k isn't that bad really, if you have no other players like Kurt would have. TBH I reckon you could afford 250k, if your getting enough money through FC these days. 300k with a decent home based cup run. It managable depending on the rest of your team really.

That's stupid though. His wages are going to rise over time...

Yeah maybe, but even with just masterful players your salaries will eventually reach similar levels. Personally I wouldn't buy a player like that unless your finishing off your side. Rather then rebuilding your a player like that, regardless of what his wages are. His wages are actually low for elite/elite players as well apparently, from what I've read.

 

[new_age_ar]

One of guys who used to manage the SL NT side is bidding for him anyway. I doubt Nibbs will be able to out bid him.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Nibbs has like 20mill I think.

 

[pasag]

Might be one of the last games with Fuller's side in my OD league this week, he's currently top of the table, and looks like getting promoted. Been a long and hard fought rivalry that he's often got the better of, score-wise and thumb-wise so it'll be nice to get one back from the **** in what looks like our final official encounter.

Through to the cup final with a third win over Borderliners this season, play them again on Friday. Best batstats rating of 229, though it should be higher as I'm pretty sure my seam rating is elite+5 or something. Got Flintstones in the final, have played them eight times in OD for seven wins and a loss.
