Just started inviting teams, but realised we've got 9 potential players and only 8 slots. Also, let me know if you want your affiliate invited rather than your main as it'll be just one team per player.

8 team league, 2 rounds - it'll keep us going until November-ish. Wednesday matches.

 

[Starris]

Leave me out if it saves someone missing out.

Are you sure? I wasn't sure about one of the other 9 players who doesn't post on here any more (and hasn't in a while). I'd rather 8 players who were talking about the games on here and making it a decent tournament, perhaps.

Invite them and if they let you down invite pm me in game closer to the time.

 

[Number 11]

Many thanks for setting up the tournament Heef, looking forward to it.

The Igor Clubshub Trophy kicks off this week with the first round of fixtures:

Otago (NZT) vs. Brew Boys (n11) - Slow/Hot
Zero Pillars and Hero Fillers (Bobisback) vs. Inner Western Wombats (Morgieb) - Dry/Sunny
Rocket City Trash Pandas (DCYE) vs. The Dutch Ovens (SoC) - Uneven/Sunny
****atoos Cricket Club (Heef) vs. Ashgrove Astronauts (Jarquis) - Slow/Humid

Otago vs. Brew Boys might be the match of the round. Generally speaking, the other matches have pitched longer-standing teams against newer ones, so much will come down to the tactics employed by the veterans. How much squad rotation is one likely to see at this level, given the stakes.

I'm moving on a bunch of senior players so SPOILER I'm playing some mid-level players now

I thought your team name looked familiar. I just went and had a look and saw you rating really high for the youth team. I think we've probably competed on the transfer market/I have bought players off you.

 

[Starris]

Holy crap... my team the lynch ninjas overcome an almost 50k ratings deficit to win today's game by a run. 226k vs 178k.

Can't complain about that pull

Dreadful power tho, so maybe you can

Medium combined with OBB pretty useful though.

 

[NZTailender]

Yeah nah he's a gun pull, just envious tbh although I did pull this dude week 1 this season:



Only been training fielding, pulled as average tech and reas fielding, iirc

Got smashed. My new best XI is going to be **** for a while now, yay.

First results are in:

Otago (202,691) 164ao (Thornton 4-34) vs. Brew Boys (246,113) 292 - 9 (Charlesworth 135, Veierbergen 4-56) - Brew Boys win by 128 runs
Zero Pillars and Hero Fillers (165,629) 83ao (Suksma 5-25) vs. Inner Western Wombats (239,461) 361-6 (Madavadi 110*) - Wombats win by 278 runs
Rocket City Trash Pandas (204,788) 261 - 8 (Hale 79) vs. The Dutch Ovens (180,396) 260-6 (Hossain 75) - Uneven/Sunny - RCTP win by 2 wickets
****atoos Cricket Club (213,580) 238 - 3 (Long 73*) vs. Ashgrove Astronauts (189,555) 176ao (Tomlinson 4-22) - ****atoos win by 62 runs

The match of the round turned out to undoubtedly be the Rocket City Trash Pandas vs. The Dutch Ovens. At 231-8 with only Jansen (OD avg 15.71), Phillip (7.67) and Freeborn (5.03) left to come, Jansen pulled it out of the bag with a cracking 44 off as many balls. With 2 overs remaining, 15 runs were still needed, but Jansen cracked consecutive boundaries off the last two balls of the penultimate over, bowled by Latulance (and assisted by a misfield from Neum) to make the final over a procession.

 

[Starris]

She's tight after today's game in Youth 3.3!

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

I don't think you'll have much competition from the Cheesecake. My star bat gets promoted to seniors in a couple of weeks.

I've lost to third and forth and you're beating them!

Good to have a tight end to the season... I'll be loosing players soon and missed a no brainer recruitment yesterday because of BG3 lol.

Sad I was too busy at work to watch along. Wild finish.

I was a bit pissed off we were getting hit around by the tail, until I realised how good Jensen's batting was. Was fair enough really.
