Isn't you messing up something or Maybe I missing something ?

. Me and Matt are the managers of NSW for which I posted the lineup. Yorkshire belongs to Yonga & joejoe018.

Giving Reynolds Brown an opportunity despite his horrendous performance on the actual tour. Bohlen returns to his former opening slot and Graves to his more suited middle-order one.

Going in with only four bowlers so the sim can give Bart King plenty of overs to wreck havoc on the opposition.

Christy Morris
Francis Bohlen
Arthur Wood
John Lester
Nelson Graves
Bart King
Reynolds Brown
Frederic Sharpless
Percy Clark
Edward Cregar
Henry Scattergood ​

Fair point, well made!

Going same again.....

Going same again.....

Once again this isn't possible, as you would have seen had you done as requested and checked your player pool.

I've brought in Wilkinson and Wainwright for the unavailable Taylor and Washington.

Yorkshire have crashed out of the tournament in dramatic style.

Yorkshire                      148 & 141
Gentlemen of Philadelphia      228 & 64/2              
   
Gentlemen of Philadelphia won by 8 wickets
Man of the match: John Lester

Points: Gentlemen of Philadelphia 11, Yorkshire 0

 

[Aislabie]

The final fixture of the tournament is Yorkshire v New South Wales

New South Wales need just a single point to become World Champions; otherwise the title goes to the Gentlemen of Philadelphia.

@Matt121 @themusketeer @Yonga @joejoe018 to post line-ups

We would like to go with same winning XI.

Hopefully we will be champions again.

 

[Aislabie]

Just a small announcement, really - @Iridium takes over the management of the English champions (I thought it best to get an active and experienced manager in to replace two who haven't been), and @Aggz takes on the South African champions from next season.

A player from our side becoming 'Man of the tournament' and a victory against the stubborn Yorks was more than we could have asked for. A great FC tournament and the best team duly won.

Well pretty happy with one more title. We needed just 1 point but ending the championship with a win is always good. Trumper played a wonderful century.

Looking forward to win the next tiltle too.
