[Spitfires_Fan]

To the people in my group - I'm off on holiday to France on Tuesday, getting back on the 13th so I'll be away for two matches. I should be able to get internet access to challenge and accept challenges but please be patient with me! If I don't manage to make a game, I'm really sorry but I promise I'll do the best I can! And if I forfeit, it's 2 points to you and a day off, so ya can't really complain!

Out of interest (not kicking up a stink, just curious), why has my NRR gone down after me winning today?

Because I don't use the Battrick method of calculating NRR, I use the official method, which is more of a "goal average" system. As you won by 104 runs, which equates to 2.08 NRR - lower than 2.54 - your average NRR over the whole group stage went down to 2.47.

It doesn't make much difference, but pure adding up, as Battrick does, probably gives a little too much advantage to bowling first and chasing a target quickly.

 

[Jamee999]

Backing Manju to smash the living crap out of Grandpa CC aki Whenuapai CC. Reckon Geg will be too strong for them as well. Such a piss poor team. Easierly the worst manager on CW.

In other news, Jamee, you up for Bardle/Jeithoon Cup, for the winner of our match. Must be the like the 5th time we have meet in the cup now.

It's on like Donkey Kong.

 

[Jamee999]

It doesn't make much difference, but pure adding up, as Battrick does, probably gives a little too much advantage to bowling first and chasing a target quickly.

Hence my league RR of about a billion.

(EDIT: 22 if we're gonna be technical. But that's still good for 10th on the promotion table.)

Ahh ok! Fair enough. I don't understand the Battrick NRR system either, so was just a bit spun out.

 

[bugssy]

the teams that didnt make the final groups what are we doing .?

 

[Nate]

Pay Morkel and I $50 a piece and we'll see if we can't arrange something...

Can't arrange International Friendlies yet.

 

[Johnners]

Connells Estate CC is HDS's team right?

 

[cricketboy29]

Cool. I'll just challenge Asterix XI.

Woh! I was away for the weekend and missed this. Mabudhafasi 7 for 38, I didn't expect that. Glad I put in an extra bowler though given the result

Thanks for the game mate. Good to see the last 5 batsmen on both sides mustered about 16 between them

Good to see Fordham bought back down to size with only 99
