FTP: From the Pavilion general chat

Although you have to say for Bollinger and Healy, bowling on flat pitches more than 50% of the time, averaging 10 and 11 with the ball is outstanding :p

And yeah, I got $285,000 in prize money. And looking at my new youth league, I should finish first or second at worst. Anyone want to help me on my pitch dilemma? Here is going to be my probable first XI for next season so what pitch should I use. Not going to post secondaries but they're fairly good.

1. Ruben Mol - Reliable/Reliable batsman
2. Niek Bleeker - Capable/Capable batsman
3. Michael Young* - Reliable/Reliable batsman
4. Victor Omara - Reliable/Reliable batsman
5. Craig Crane - Reasonable/Average batsman
6. Aladdin Yousif - Capable/Reliable/Reliable RM All-Rounder (Bat/Bowl/Tech)
7. Lars van der Hoeven (wk) - Reasonable/Reasonable batsman, Reasonable Keeping
8. Frank Bollinger - Accomplished/Reliable RFM Bowler, Poor Batting (Probably the best secondaries in the team)
9. Mo Bol - Reliable/Capable RFS Bowler, Poor Batting
10. Barry Healy - Reliable/Reliable RM Bowler

And my other bowler is out of the following:

Ciaran Fitzgerald - Capable/Capable LM bowler, Ordinary Batting
Reiner Harms - Capable/Reasonable RM bowler, Poor Batting, Average Power
Bhalandana Prasanta - Capable/Capable RFM Bowler, Ordinary Batting
Marcel Lansing - Average/Poor LF Bowler, Reasonable Power, Average Fielding, Ordinary Endurance

I was thinking Fitzgerald or Harms due to Prasanta being 19 but what do others reckon. Prasanta is a FM though and Lansing is there just cause he's 17 and needs game time.

So what do people reckon for the last bowler and pitch type. So my bowler types are 1 FM, 2 M's and 1 FS plus the last bowler so I'm not sure. I could use Fitzgerald and then play on a green or slow pitch but a slow pitch would disadvantage Bollinger, my best bowler a bit while a green pitch would disadvantage Bol although I could just play 5 pace bowlers, 4 mediums and 1 FM and hope for the best but idk.
 
Hard pitch? Gives your batsmen an advantage. Not a massive boost given to seam bowlers though but your spinners aren't penalised.

Yeah, it's currently a flat pitch so I might just change it to hard instead. My top order is pretty strong so I shouldn't have to worry about many collapses :p

lol, btw found my pavilion cup opponent's senior squad very interesting regarding the player names. Yea and goes without saying that I've been sent to hell with that sort of a draw. This is his senior squad and also have a look at his blog.

From the Pavilion - Free Online Cricket Management Game
 
Just went through my 21 opponents for the new season across all formats. Won't be relegated whatsoever cos almost all of them look pretty bad. :D

My predictions for Season XIV

SOD 4.6 - 3rd; Rivals - Harare Harriers and Bulawayo Bulls
St20 4.1 - 2nd; Rival - Dandenong CC
YOD 4.4 - 3rd; Rivals - Hotham Cricket Club and Cricket-Mania
Pavilion Cup - Eliminated 1st Round

Which means I'll end up with a prize money of $160,000 given the prize moneys are halved from now.

That's what I thought with some of my opponents last season. Played a weakened lineup, turned out they weren't as rubbish as I thought, and got wasted :p
