Game of the tournament?Navman Cheesecake v The Slack Caps
Can I beat you without a keeper? Mine's touring... bad planning I know.
Nah - Starris and I are in the same division for Youth and we're currently tied at the top on 36 points each as I recall. He's on top at the moment. I need 130 runs from 23 overs on a slow deck when my openers went on a go slow for the first 10.Game of the tournament?
You have wickets in hand and a manageable RRR... I'll be surprised if I pull it off. My missing keeper is one of my better batsmen.Nah - Starris and I are in the same division for Youth and we're currently tied at the top on 36 points each as I recall. He's on top at the moment.

Lol... actually I have a full strength side... the missing player is from TLN's... these guys are pretty green though.You have wickets in hand and a manageable RRR... I'll be surprised if I pull it off. My missing keeper is one of my better batsmen.
Doesn't look like not having a keeper has cost me... yet!
I have a batsman in their youth team, and they aren't going that great I don't think. The OD matches are on at the moment, and they are 4th in OD 2. Will probably stay up unless one of the teams below them springs a surprise. The last round is top 3 vs bottom 3.How is the Kenya team on here theses days?
Welcome back. 8 years since your last post is a decent stint to have had a chance in artistic taste over!First season back into the game and I have promoted into Div 3 in SOD, other formats I am mid table but I did start partway into the season. Will be interesting to see how I manage up in Div 3 next season, would love to be able to stay up.
If you pay attention to the transfer market, and not get drunk and buy a bunch of 20k wage players like someone else here did, it's pretty easy to get a nice base team. I bought a bunch of 20-25yr old players and will work on just improving with them and see how that carries me.
Also started an affiliate and running with the same game plan. It's doing pretty good, won't promote into any Div 3, but will finish top half of the table in all leagues.
As for the friendly comp, it's been a nice spanking session so far, which is always nice. I doubt I can spring an upset, but the boys will be trying.
On a side note, my profile pic is wild. Younger me sure did have some nice artistic taste.
Congratulations!I had a wonderful youth game that did make a difference to the overall result.
Had the oppo (7th in the division) down at 110-9 and their 10 & 11 decided to apply themselves and get through to 150 all out.
Then I collapsed in a heap down to 130-9 when my 10 and 11 calmly saw out the match; calmly scoring 20 runs in 13 balls.
I topped the table by 4 points from @Starris. Starris had a better NRR - so if I lose that match, he would have been promoted instead.
