Charminster CC started the day 6th in T20. Beat 4th whilst 5th lost to 3rd to jump outside the bottom 3 at final opportunity. Won our final 3 games including one v 2nd place that eventually helped cost them the title.

Content with that given the competition and our experimentation with our younger players for most of it.

Also forgot to mention but nice for Will Fairhurst to get some England caps under his belt

Bonus points ****ing sucks. The most wins in the league yet we finish second. What garbage. Sigh.

Spiritual champions we are. I'm buying us a trophy anyways.

Not as bad as our last place finish in SOD suggest either. Hopefully we win our last game so we go down despite 5 wins.

Mooo finished 1st in DIV 3.3

It was a league involving 7 bot teams and mine, initially.
But then one of the bots got bought, posed no threat.

Yes IMO. Both ~Khokhar-level, maybe slightly worse; you seem to be a magnet for those 40–40 all-rounders. But choose one I think, and be prepared to give that one up for a better pull.
I'm desperately jealous for this guy but I doubt I've even got the money for him. Stamina, Economical, aggression-skewed Finisher: it's just unfair. Keep him and you'll never have a balance problem again but will need to dry out your pitch; sell him and your bank balance will jump up $3 million (+!).

btw this bloke pales in comparison to TMO's riches but I've lost loads of money trying to get him to fetch a bid. He's going unsold for a pittance – it's hardly any more than a base bid really, but I thought my taking of him for $350,000 was a steal. 43 pot late bloomer, 20 fielding, c'mon. 7 hours remaining.

Yeah, I seem to have had a few come through recently and haven’t ever successfully developed one as I’ve always prioritised giving training to the better specialists.

Which is why I’ve had to keep Hlengwa and Kudesia going so long to avoid a tail like a rat

5 plops, two each on Bilal and Kudesia which might hasten the changing of the guard…

Two pops on Langley though, so he’s up to 41(48). Might get that pace cranking now…

I keep looking him and he looks great... right until I realise he is a finger spinner! Just does not fit it any of my plans for TMOs. And TNT are still developing and full of bowlers.

comfy second and third-place in my div 3 leagues. Bashed all the bots in my O.D. 4.2. Now to eat the salary of a stupidly expensive coach I foolishly bid on not expecting to actually get him.

Confirmation that format is one group of 16 double-round robin, 2 games a week

Top 2 = straight to semi-finals

3rd to 6th = into playoffs

Semi finals are

1st vs winner of 4th v 5th
2nd vs winner of 3rd v 6th


7th and 8th straight into plate semi-finals

9th to 12th = Plate playoffs

Plate semi finals are

7th vs winner of 10th v 11th
8th vs winner of 9th v 12th
With 2 games remaining of CWC9 league phase just quoting this post
