FTP: From the Pavilion general chat

[Iridium]

Well it's now 96/5. I'm pretty sure you'll have this won easy.

 

[Chewie]

They're seeded 200odd so their bowling is probably pretty good.

They're 150/9 now though. Hopefully my batsmen do well though.

----------

If you get your youth player in the half an hour before the youth training do they get that training?

 

[Iridium]

Pretty sure he does. Just as long as it's before the youth training update which is Sunday 22:00 FTP time. That's just a guess.

 

[Chewie]

So hopefully I can wake up before 11 and get onto my computer

One way traffic in my Pavilion Cup match, 71/1 after 11.3 chasing 155. I think he put his second team out either because he doesn't want his main players to get fatigued or because of my low rank he thought I wouldn't be very good.

Hmmm interesting:

From the Pavilion • View topic - Bangladesh Youth Pull Competition for Week 5 & 6 (Season 12)

----------

Yea looks like he's played his youth team

 

[Iridium]

Well if you win this, you're guaranteed at least $10k. Not bad. But your players are going to be knackered.

 

[Chewie]

Yea. At the moment the lowest is at energetic but that'll drop after this match. Will rest him and some others and play a few youth players probably in my mid week games. Last week I did the same and still won but this week I have some tougher challenges I think.

----------

Got a really easy T20 match but a top of the table OD match against my main competition. His players are pretty knackered though so I might be able to pull off a win with my second team and some youth and 1st players chucked in

 

[Chewie]

So I'm through to the third round yay for more money, I actually broke even this week, even when you discount my two sales!

 

[AngryPixel]

Knocked out of pavilion cup. Opponent was ranked 230 in the world . So who made it to next round apart from chewie?

 

[Chewie]

My opponent was ranked higher

jdeus probably made it through. Ste probably did too

----------

Oh you can't get your youth player until after the youth training. I thought you could get it after the academy update which happens 30 mins before the training :/

 

[Sartaj]

Knocked out by an opponent who i think was 6th ranked in NZ.

 

[Chewie]

oooh next Pavilion Cup match is a home one. Should fill out all 7.5k seats. But what to make the pitch... gonna set it crumbling just for fun His side is reasonably fatigued and my match rating is similar to his so I could win...

Won my T20 match pretty easily despite the number of youth players and second team players I played. Mangan is turning out to be a really good opener despite only being reasonable bat.

 

[Gunpot]

Friend of Tarzan. Just signed up for FTP and PC, too.

 

[Chewie]

I'm playing my next Pavilion Cup match on a crumbling pitch (aids spin bowlers greatly, aids seam bowlers slightly) and windy weather (aids spin bowlers slightly). Because of this I'm playing two spinners but I'm not sure which of my other bowlers to drop. Help me decide!

Clarke has the advantage of being a RF bowler with pretty good power and endurance, but has terrible fielding.

Fox is similar to Clarke but with power and endurance reversed. Fox has slightly better fielding but is only a medium pace bowler.

Kallichuran is also a medium pacer but is left arm which is a bonus. He is also spectacular bowling but is only accomplished technique. His secondaries are also much worse than the other two. At the moment I'm probably going to drop him from the side but wanted some advice.

The spin bowler I'm bringing into the side is only expert/accomplished but I think that due to the pitch and weather he'll be more useful than one of these guys. I have a third spin bowler but he's an all-rounder and is reliable/capable/reliable and compared to my usual all-rounder who is a LM Accomplished/Expert/Accomplished, the spin bonus is really negligible. And because of the pitch I need the slightly better batting.

 

[Chewie]

Lost my SOD match this week to the top side in my league. It was kinda on purpose cos I didn't want to fatigue my players for the Pavilion Cup match. But it means I have to make up lost ground over the second half of the season and beat him in the return match.

 

[Iridium]

[OD] Iridium XI 415 for 4 (Khan 106*, Poole 85, Murad 2-81) beat SidG11 234 (Mahajan 50, Smith 3-65, Phelan 2-24) by 181 runs

Thought I'd mix things up a bit and let my youth captain be the skipper of my senior side. Batsman had a hitout, bowlers bowled SidG11 out. This win takes me to 3rd in my OD league.

Next match is against Yunus Nagar, a bot team, who in his last match managed to concede 506/5. It'll be a good chance to rest any tiring players.
