Australian Premier League XIII

Yeah, I'm interested. I'll name my team suffix tomorrow :p

And I'm with Callum on the Sanga > Dhoni. Remember India play on roads so his batting average will be better than Sanga's so I'm saying Sanga is better. I also reckon Rogers is slightly better than Jaques.
 
I need to come up with a new name as well. Panthers has been good, but I need a change.
 
Nah no worries. No idea on a suffix though :p
 
Yea, I'm terribly uncreative.

Melbourne Interceptors? Only got that from watching Top Gear.

Melbourne Tyrants
Melbourne Devestators
Melbourne Blitz
 
Yeah, sorry Biggy but I can't go past Hobart Heroes. They will win the premiership one day!
 
Games are not played on paper my friend. And obviously your "paper" is likely to be prejudicial as would be mine so you can look at the stats this season because they dont lie.

Jaques > Rogers. You gotta be kidding me if you believe otherwise. APL and Cricinfo supports this.

Voges < Watson. No question about it.

Dhoni > Sanga. More runs, better average in the APL and also a better player on "paper" to any neutral fan as well.

Misbah > Clarke. Look at the stats, Misbah has been an absolute beast this season with a 97 average. Can you seriously think otherwise? This isnt real cricket, its the APL and Misbah has bossed Clarke. And I might even go further and say Misbah is a better player in ODIs then Clarke at this stage (opinion)

Hussey = Symonds. Yea on paper Hussey might get the nod, and you think so, but Symonds has had a good season as well, I am not counting that out

You beat me in the other two spots, but afaic they dont matter that much, considering the best players do at that stage is get a quickfire 30 or 40. The way I see it, I beat you 3-1 on the top 5 spots amd its 3-3 on top 7. But I guess we both know the players batting at the top matter more than the ones at the bottom. ;)

We'll have to agree to disagree then, because imo my top five (and seven) are better than your top five (and seven). I was talking pretty much purely on RL, hence what I think they'll be rated, not on one season's luck with cricksim. :p

Point taken on Jaques > Rogers though (statistically), but in RL and here in the APL I'd take Sanga over Dhoni and Clarke over Misbah.

Even though the name "Stallions" doesn't really mean anything to me, I'm not one to mess with tradition, so "Sydney Stallions" it is provided Biggy's alright with that?
