Dev League Season 8 (Sign Up Here!)

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Upon further consideration, I have decided that the reduction in SR will be related to a reduction in skill, with 2 skill points lost for every 5 runs/100 balls off the SR.

Fair enough?

 

[Loony BoB]

Sounds reasonable. Can we assume the same goes for increase in SR?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Indeed.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Makes me glad my strike rate is in the 40s. Not sure how that will impact on my performance in one dayers though.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Sounds reasonable. Can we assume the same goes for increase in SR?

Increase in five SR points = Increase in two skill points?

 

[Loony BoB]

Haha, I wish. ...hmm, so, what happens if Neil wants to adjust his SR? Negative skill rating?

Warmup Matches 2.3

CW Red v England A

A couple of outstanding performances from Red in what was overall an excellent game of cricket.

 

[David]

Absolutely thrilled with that performance by the team to pull off a great win!!

Equally happy with my game 7 for 87 in total and two not outs, one being 6* from just 78 balls and then a slighlty slower 2* from 36 balls

Seems fair to me - will mean a fair few people could lose a lot of skill though

 

[a massive zebra]

A great match people. England might just have snatched a thrilling victory, but fortunately we managed to keep our cool and they fell tantalisingly short.

 

[BlackCap_Fan]

I particularly liked the way you took 23 balls to make 0 first time round.

I preferred your 0 off 9 against the might of Bangladesh.

Green's PreSeason Woes Continue

Cricket Web Green, already informed of the loss of five (5) players who have been called up to the CW XI, will start the season without the experienced Craig Walsh. Walsh picked up a groin strain whilst fielding in the second practice match at the VB Series Training Camp.

The injury is expected to keep Craig out of action for four (4) games, meaning he will miss the first two (2) FC and OD games of the season. Walsh will certainly be missed by CW Green, as they have not only lost one of the most accomplished batsmen in the system, but now find their squad down to just eleven (11) players.

Essentially Green has now lost the option of a 12th man for the initial phases of the season and this may prove a huge setback. No appeal yet to the CWBCC, but pending an appeal by CW Green management, there may be the incidence of a non-Cricket Web player being signed temporarily.

 

[Loony BoB]

Email sent to the CWBCC requesting 12th man.

Get well soon card sent to Craig from a fellow injured player!

 

[marc71178]

What sort of player could be expected to be coming in?

shouldnt this be in proper article form in the Media thread?

ummm...i think it is either an inactive one or a random made up player.

 

[Loony BoB]

Nah, Ricky Ponting or Andrew Symonds since they're in the country and all. Hey, I can be optimistic!

From what I remember, though, a player who isn't in a squad (ie retired, inactive or new) or else someone from the Aussie domestic competitions will be moved in - however I'll only play them as 12th man in the warmup game anyway.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

A list of players will be submitted ASAP. They will be young Australian domestic players (not big names) and some randomly generated players.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Not when it pertains directly to the Dev Season at this stage.

Pretty happy with my golden blob in the first innings, a beautiful start.

Honoured to re-assume the role of captain again if only for a short while. Disappointing results Blues but in all honesty, it's a warm-up, non-FC game which would have been great to win but bears no influence on the fact that Season 8 5D will be ours!

Didn't we do quite well in the slogfest last year? I remember batting at 5 and only getting to bat approx. 4 times all season.
