Australian Premier League XIII

Dropping Oram turned out to be a nightmare!, the batting collpased like a house of cards. Albie tried his best to get us there... but it was too much of him. Although the bowling was superb, everyone chipping in to restrict Brisbane to a chaseable score.

About next season, can we keep 2 home and 1 international? I've built a good team over the seasons and it'll be hard enough as it is to release my players.

I think 1 of each will be fine. I don't want a full re-shuffle but I am trying to make things fair on everyone. It has been 5 seasons and we've had a fair turn over of managers so it becomes unfair when someone like Chewie inherits a team and his only big name local is Brad Hodge but then the likes of Melbourne have Cameron White, David Hussey, Clint McKay, Dirk Nannes, Peter Siddle. I know that isn't your fault, but put yourself in his position. If there was a way to keep everyone happy I would but what ever decision I make you won't all agree with. Short of forcing teams to hand over big names to those without, this is the only way to get some sort of balance again. You never know too, it could be fun to get a new look team and you might build a stronger team. If anyone should be complaining it's bcvs who actually won last season but it's nice to see that he isn't complaining.
 
Yea, I'd more than likely keep Katich but Hughes was doing pretty well at the start. No international players in my squad I'd be desperate to keep.

Just curious, who had control of Darwin before I took over?

I actually only had North when I took over the team :p

User2010 and before him MaD

Viral Shah did. He was alright, but he really gave his squad a bad balance.
 
Too right. So is the draft going to be a free for all or is there a set order in which we make picks?

An order takes too long so I usually go no order 1 pick at a time. 24 hours for a round, then I pick for those who haven't. If you can't be active because you are going away or something I will pick at random stages for you. Only rule really is that if you finish one round you can't start the next, someone else has to.
 
What's the situation with the oldies like Hayden, would it be to my benefit to retain him as his rating is based on how good he was at his prime, or is his rating getting deceased season by season because of his age?

Edit: I have such a luxury of domestic players, so it doesn't effect me either way.
Hopefully I'll be able to make an improvement on my international players, considering I wasted my first round international pick last time.

Should he really still be available to play? Other retired players don't so shouldn't he be not included as well?

It's deducted a touch but it doesn't decrease each season.


Should he really still be available to play? Other retired players don't so shouldn't he be not included as well?

He did play in the last IPL and is playing in the All*stars go so he is eligible, along with Gilchrist and Warne. Symonds still plays T20 in Australia and England too so he is available as well.
 
Ok, not official, but I'll probably keep Watson, no idea on international player yet though.

Class innings by Ab de villiers. Melbourne enter the top 6, yet one more time.
 
It was always going to be hard winning against the defending champions, even with a stratplay, but our international depth isn't really good enough to use them effectively.

Our bowlers got smacked around by de Villiers, Pietersen and White, with Swan being the only highlight. Gayle and Sarwan played lone hands with the bat but no one could support them and they batted too slow for the total that they faced.

This ends our season 7 campaign, hopefully with the re-draft we can push for better positions next season.
