Nah, not straight after. I've been getting challenge requests from other players and I'm keen to play them.

 

[Iridium]

Top of the table clash between me and Tempest. He's currently unbeaten while I'm 2nd with 2 losses. I'll be playing my strongest lineup and hoping my team doesn't choke.

----------

Damn, pitch is green. Not conducive to spin bowling which is where my strength lies.

 

[Gunpot]

Why everyone is scoring huge total against me and I am getting bowled out?

 

[Iridium]

Because Saurashtra Lions' match rating is almost 100k more than yours. And you've only bought one player so that doesn't improve your chances that much. The players you get given aren't all that great and I wouldn't expect to win many matches with them.

Trying looking around on the TM for new players with at least (correct me if I'm wrong) capable or reliable primaries (batting/bowling). Shouldn't cost you more than 5-10k. But ask one of the more experienced players here for some advice and you'll be on your way.

Also, I don't know why Wanderers challenges new players who he knows he's going to thrash. He challenged me when I first started playing, twice. He must enjoy easy opposition. It annoys me really...

 

[Chewie]

Really you should be able to find people with accomplished primaries for not much. Especially if you look for people who are in their mid twenties

Someone challenged me to a friendly today so I accepted. They beat me by 4 wickets Only a 1.5k difference in match rating too

 

[Gunpot]

Iridium, thnx for advice. I will keep buying good players but within my budget.

At least you lost when your match rating was lower, not higher.

I was about to pull of an upset couple of days ago but bowler choked. Gave away required 4 runs of the last ball

He should go pretty well. Just leave him on bowling training, might have to do some fitness training later.

 

[Iridium]

That's not too bad a player actually. Just keep looking for players like that I suppose.

We could have a youth knockout rather. I've noticed that our youth ratings have been getting pretty close to each other. A youth knockout would extract lot of thrillers.

No thanks.

 

[Iridium]

Getting wasted in my OD match. Before site maintenance came on, I was 60/5 (or thereabouts). Either way it ain't looking pretty.
