Australian Premier League XIII

Gayle will probably only get a shot if one of my other international batsmen fail

@BKB: Why not open with James Hopes instead of Adam Voges?

 

[Biggy]

A couple of announcements heading into the new season..

I think stratplays were a big hit, they will be back, still only two. In addition, for Warm-up round 2 you will be allowed to play 5 internationals in your line-up.

At the moment the H & A schedule is inbalanced with half of the teams receiving 6 home games, and the other half just 5. In order to set the balance, round 6 will be heading to the USA, stadiums yet to be announced. Along with round 6, there will also be a friendly between the APL Chairman's XI (picked by me, 7 domestic, 4 overseas) and the USA. The Chairman's XI won't necessarily be the strongest XI either.

 

[Sartaj]

Sounds good.
So,the friendly match will take place between rounds 6 and 7?

@Varun: I have a trade offer for you, but you don't have VM or PM?

Brad Hodge for Usman Khawaja?

 

[Sartaj]

He won't give you Hodge even if you offer him Ponting.

 

[Covvy]

LOL, maybe a three way switch? I'll borrow Ponting from GAzza and then get Hodge off Varun and then Gazza can have Khawaja, sounds fair ay Gazza

 

[Sartaj]

The only problem in that trade is that you won't get Hodge for Ponting

 

[Biggy]

Sounds good.

Yes. Fixtures are up on the first post. Putting the teams into the sim now.

 

[Chewie]

Why do the warmup rounds go 1, 3, 2?

Only my friends can VM/PM me.

It was me who released Usman Khawaja.

 

[Chewie]

I released him last season :sarcasm

 

[AkshayS]

I liked the friendly match idea.

Is that with Brisbane? How about McGain instead of Bailey Akash? That is a bit more balanced.
