Won the South African Twenty20 league today.

(given wins over the last three bots that is

Anyone notice any difference with their higher power players? I didn't.

 

[Majin]

None whatsoever.

Won pretty easily today, opener got a 110* off 55-odd balls which was the highlight of the game for me. Was bowling a pile of dross 'cause resting some bowlers and accidentally opened with a spinner but it all turned out alright in the end.

Rating wise yes, performance wise no.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Ratings will have likely gone up due to the cup experience being added belatedly.

Ratings increase was noticed for my youth side, so I doubt that would have made a difference. Just replaced a reliable/average bat with dread power with a reas/reas bat with average power. Same endurance and experience for both. But top order batting increased due to power IMO, as everything else was the same.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Then it'll be form and sublevels. I doubt he's changed how the ratings are calculated without telling anybody.

 

[Majin]

Haha, such an epic match today in the YOD. Was up against Fjermestad, both had the same amount of points and he was in first place in the league and it pretty much decided who got promoted. Was an away game and he had his pitch set to crumbling and was playing four spinners.

Thought the minimum i'd need was 160, managed to just about scrape it with 163. Thought it was going to be a tense hard chase but with my new look seam attack rolled him all out for 79. Loved it

 

[Scaly piscine]

I'm huge favourite for my Youth OD now after the other team on 9-1 lost, so now I'm 10-1 with 3 teams I outrate by 20k+ left to play, as well as having a healthy NRR advantage now.

Good odds I'll win my other two divisions, virtually certain to get 2nd at least which would get me promoted.

 

[headhunter]

FTP not loading for anyone else atm. Wanna check my YOD and set orders for tomorrow dam it.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yea won't load for me either

 

[headhunter]

Better be up and running soon. I got my 2nd spinner and I intend on using him in a few hours.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

I am so **** at this game. My youth team's not bad, but my first XI are appalling. It appears I'm in the same division as another CricketWeb member, Lordeman, as he smashed me this week with the Agrajag Mirrors.

1 x endurance to capable
1 x endurance to reasonable
1 x endurance to accomplished
2 x power to reasonable
1 x technique to ordinary

I think I'll have the fittest team in FTP by the beginning of next season, all seniors will be accomplished, all youths will be capable.

Decent enough.

 

[NZTailender]

Had a number of good pops. Capable batsman to reasonable bowling, reliable bat to average tech, capable bat to average tech, reasonable bat to reasonable tech, RF to poor power, 2 players to average endurance and 1 to reasonable endurance.

Probably. I'm not being as extreme as that as I don't want the best times to train all used up with fitness training.

Haha, yeah. Was quite a nice win, that one. I'm in the same league as you for YOD too, IIRC.

Oh yes. Didn't notice that! Pretty evenly matched in the Youth League. A good game between our youth teams last time around.
