seems perfect tbh. Get all your nearly-at-their-prime 19-21 YOs to play loads of senior cricket and get the next gen of 16-18 YOs tons of gametime in Dev. If you can avoid relegation from the Div 2 your team will be massively stronger by the end of the season.
We won’t survive Div 2 :laugh:
 
ATX-W did well to pull it back after the first two overs. The score was 39/0. Two quick wickets after the introduction of the spinners…still a great power play score: 80/2 (6.0)

4th and 5th overs brought it back with the return to spin, but 69 runs of the other 4 powerplay overs is, erm, not good

He's only played 5 of those fr. T20s for GG, and he done twice as well in those games!

216 the target. Off the first three overs, we score 38 runs less than what GG did.

Well, I’ve made up my mind about him. We have another kid in the squad who will take up his place.

Alex Xenos with a top spell so far

A couple of good recruits, though neither fit into my future plans amazingly. Keeping them both for now.

Bought a pretty good AR off the TM. He'll share his overs with Winton. Dani Rowan will be kicked out of the squad when we're kicked out of the Cup. He's had a pretty good run while we've been fitting 6 players into 5 slots, and will be missed.

Touch has reset, wage has updated, Cup draw out.

R0b replied! Awesome. Let me have a think on the points he's raised...

My instinct is that you rebalance the teams going off their World Rankings, so if we had 30 teams to reorganize into six Div 3s we'd seed them from 1-30 based on WR, and then go:

Div 3.1 - 1, 12, 13, 24, 25
Div 3.2 - 2, 11, 14, 23, 26
Div 3.3 - 3, 10, 15, 22, 27
Div 3.4 - 4, 9, 16, 21, 28
Div 3.5 - 5, 8, 17, 20, 29
Div 3.6 - 6, 7, 18, 19, 30

With the rest being Bots.

Thoughts?

TBH I'm not really convinced on a rejig myself, but then again Asia's a bit of an outlier in playing population and I don't really know what the situation is like in other continents.

As the game at Dom Dom wraps up, AXI prepare for their T20 evening, taking on the Hunks and the Buy-Ins.

We currently have 9 Div 3s in each continent, with the following playing numbers:
EurAfrica Div 3s = 39 human teams currently playing
Oceania = 34 human teams
Asia = 19 human teams
Americas = 32 human teams

So a rejig will see all Div 3 teams consolidated into 6 Div 3 leagues instead. Asia definitely needs it, EurAfrica would be more competitive and might be the only place where a human team could face relegation from Div 3 even in a 2 up/2 down situation.
