Auction draft

[Pothas]

Well I never saw that result coming....

Looking forward to the ODI one though.

 

[Somerset]

In all honesty there's a lot of very closely matched sides so any points system will penalise some and benefit others. Either way, it's set up now so tough

I can see your point though it does raise a few questions when a team with two wins is eight points clear of a team with four wins.

 

[marc71178]

They're incredibly hard to beat though - 1 defeat so far.

Round 11 is over.

 

[marc71178]

And the table with 2 to play for most teams, note how the top 2 sides haven't yet played each other.

[Pothas]

Yay...another draw. May as well not even bother checking the results anymore.

I personally love the poins system, another couple of bonus points

 

[Blakus]

Nah get rid of the bonus points. Not helping anyone

 

[Somerset]

Pleased with my side's performance in a low scoring match. Barry Richards particularly outstanding, making 75 and 66 when the next highest score for either side in the entire match was just 39.

 

[Himannv]

Sehwag has found some good form recently but the best bit is that everyone of the batsmen have made a decnt contribution making this a team effort. Great performances by the team on the whole and good points system I reckon.

 

[marc71178]

For the record, Apocalypse and Balls meet up in the last round - couldn't have scripted it any better.

 

[Blakus]

Who gets the home advantage?

 

[marc71178]

Think it's Apocalypse but can't remember for sure.

 

[Noble One]

Mid-table position for Noble XI. Same situation each game, cannot string together four innings of consistency with bat or ball.

If I could change one aspect of my side, I would have placed a higher bid on a spin bowler rather than pace. Benaud having little impact in high scoring innings, bowling 40-50 overs for little return.

 

[Himannv]

Yeah, good face off I reckon. If I remember correctly, I have to face Bradman + 10 as well. Home or away, the team is ready for BoS.

 

[honestbharani]

Apocalypse got out of jail.. A few more runs in the second dig could have given Warne the shot to win the game basically by himself..


And WTF @ the previous round? A draw with 5 odd runs to win?????? ((((((

Will agree that it was a close game, but you needed to get Paynter out first.

Was a dead game, needed about 90 off 6 or 7 overs so joke bowling - wasn't ever actually that close to be honest.

 

[honestbharani]

oh ok.. I thought we were close and somehow they just shut shop or something..


Anyways, good to see my team giving more fancied teams a real test.. Unfortunate that we are not able to close out the big moments though..

 

[marc71178]

One more round to go and it's set up for a grandstand finale.

Lohmann again the star for my side, match figures of 13/84, and if it wasn't for him and Sobers' first innings century, I doubt we would've beaten the Pink Elephants this round. Pleased to see my side clear in 5th spot too, would be happy to maintain that position at the conclusion of the league TBH.
