Semis will be
Whenuapai CC/AA for President! vs. Scaly Piscine
Asterix XI vs. Citizens Erased
Scaly Piscine move into the semis of this competition for the second time, and I think are a good shot at making their first final. They have a pretty decent bowling lineup, and if they play at home this should be put to good use.
Whenuapai CC have reached the final on both occasions, losing the first to Boggles, before winning last season's against Asterix XI. TBH, I feel that Whenuapai are 3rd best side going around at CW, with Dynamo and Asterix the two that are better than us. I suspect we'll go a long way again this season. AA for President! are a side that are coming together nicely. Its just teams who were formed during season 1 of Battrick had a headstart and personally, I feel that one season in Battrick enables a team to get a fair way ahead of newbies. However, AA continue to close the gap..... Needless to say, Whoever wins this battle faces a tough semi final against Scaly
Citizens Erased scored a tense victory of Vindscreen Vipers to reach their first Cricketweb Battrick Cup (that doesn't have a very good ring to it tbh) semi final. They have played well to reach this point, but face an acid test against West Indian cup winners Asterix XI. They will need several factors to go their way if they are to make a match of this.
The all conquering Asterix XI has one spot in their trophy cabinet that needs filling. That is that of the CW Battrick Cup (hmm). After losing the final last season they'll be out for vengence. A side featuring the likes of Sol Cusas and Fitz Watkins will be very hard to stop no doubt.

I'm still catching up a bit myself as a second season side, I'm hoping the bowling will look relatively stronger next season when having depth is important - I've 7 proficient or better bowlers at the moment, I guess I should sell one on to Asterix for a small fortune...
Still have nearly 1.5 mil in the bank but will just milk interest as it's not enough to get a really good star bat (quality+).

27.6 W Verde to Duggan
Verde gets his hand to it and eventually takes the catch at the third attempt.
The old man and his dog head for the exits.

Pleasantly surprised with the win, wasn't expecting it after being bundled out earlier. Setting Watkins to attacking worked, he picked up the three early wickets that exposed the middle order for Malik, and I had a big stroke of luck with Herbert being run out. Good match tho, your bowlers certainly showed up my lack of batting depth (luckily one of my decent batsmen had a good day).Samuel_Vimes said:Heh
I think I'll make the final but will fall at the last hurdle, as I probably won't have spent my wad of cash by then. If, however, a superstar bowler is listed sometime soon..

Haha, I've got three (though partly due to selling two recently). I've been meaning to get some proper squad depth but I'm always tempted just to keep buying better star players as depth isn't really necessary at the moment. I suppose it will be next year, but then I'm hoping/guessing that everyone is going to start off in the lower divs for FC which will mean that most of my FC matches will be easy ones anyway. If the FC leagues are the same as OD then I'm screwed.Scaly piscine said:

Well obviously we'll have to wait and see, at my level a lot more teams are competitive and I figure having a range of different bowling types who're still good bowlers to start with is a real edge with all the pitch options. I also hope there's some decent orders to allow me to bowl guys like Lisbie part time.Adamc said:

I would rate Scaly's team in the top 5 teams on CW, for sure.
1. Asterix XI
2. Whenuapai CC
3. Dalmeny Cricket Club
4. Scaly Piscine CC
5. College Dropouts
6. Dynamo Morpork

Just my unbiased take on things...

I would agree with that. I just got this far thanks to an easy draw and some luck along the way. For example, DCC would've annihilated me yesterday, but they just happened to be beaten by the Vipers.
I'm just happy considering the improvement in performance from last season's BT cup.

Morpork would be a little bit better than me if they had the same morale, team fitness etc.Robertinho said:
Anyway as I've said before if and when I get an expensive gun bat the team will have a great balance and the load will be spread out so PFLs don't take a beating for some and stay at high sublime for others.

Haha man, Bobisback in the semi's of the plate. Ridiculous.
