Man of the match: Graeme Swann

 
Sorry for the big delay in posting the match, my internet went out at 1.15 this morning so I just waited until I woke up to post the match.

The Preliminary Final will be:
Melbourne United v Hawke's Bay Magpies @ Melbourne Cricket Ground

Melbourne to choose the pitch type.

Otago are out of the tournament in 4th place.
 
Hawke's Bay should be at home, shouldn't they?
They're the higher seeded team...
 
Yes but they lost their playoff. So the winning team gets to choose the pitch type
 
I do it the otherway around in the NZPL.

It's like with the NRL play-offs, IMO it should be seeded, not the winning team.
E.g. IMO the Tigers should have been at home last night, not Canberra.
B/c the Tigers finished 3rd, while the Raiders finished 7th. Like with the Warriors two seasons ago, ****en stupid how they finish 8th, and then they get to host a team who finished way ahead of them the next week, because they won.

Something to consider, I just think it should be the otherway around, but I don't really care if you see it differently.
 
Although with the NRL, it's 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, 3 v 6, 4 v 5 while in this, it was 1 vs 2 and 3 vs 4 so if 7 beats 2 in the NRL, then they deserve to play at home next week to a team who lost in the first round.

But yeah, in this, the loser of the major semi should be hosting the preliminary.
 
Otherwise there's no reward for winning. I feel this is the fairest way.

YES exactly!
Check out the AFL style, it's much better than the NRL.

Not enough reward for 26 rounds of hard work in the NRL style.
 
Otherwise there's no reward for winning. I feel this is the fairest way.

It's a sudden death match, the winner has the chance to progress to the next round, they just shouldn't get to all of sudden host the preliminary final against one of the teams who topped their group.
It doesn't matter if the lose, they fact is they've been the better team throughout the season, hence why they should be at home, like with the NRL.
 
In cricsim does choosing a particular team first make a difference?

Or I could just go and say that it is going to be played on a normal pitch and not let anyone decide :)

I'll use the Warriors example from two years ago.
They were 8th and bet 1st in a one off game, then the next week they're at home while 1st was away.
The 7th/8th sides should be forced to play every match away in the play-offs, no matter if they keep on winning, every match for them should be a sudden death away match, as they only just got into the play-offs, so it should be as hard as possible for them to win.

Not as far as I know, I always just choose the home team first.

I don't actually care, I'm mainly just saying it b/c I do it the otherway round in the NZPL, so was wondering why you did it like that.
 
Because for some reason last night it wouldn't let me choose Melbourne and then Otago, I had to choose Otago first, and then Melbourne.

I'm gonna mandate that it's a normal pitch.

MCC can pick the pitch type in the final though.
