FTP: From the Pavilion general chat

[hedger_14]

Well Mol scored 14 on debut but it was an uneven pitch as we won by 2 wickets and there were only 2 real stand out batters.


And do you know how stupid it was, Bollinger got demoted to bat at 11 for the Aussies game. So 48* isn't good enough for someone batting at 8. And he didn't bowl that great again, taking 1/67. It was a flat pitch though. What's with Australia playing on flat pitches. It's ruining Bollinger's stats.

Aladdin Yousif did well on his debut as well as he bowled very economically with 0/36 off 10 overs, which I blame about 12 of those runs on a dropped catch which brought 2 sixes later that over. He then made 27 off 32 with the bat as everyone apart from Akil Yousif (47) and Sulaiman (86) failed with the next highest score 12.

Omara is still yet to make his International debut though.

End of over 31 (10 runs) - Mighty Gangshans(172-3) RR 5.55
K. Satti 27 (37b) , K. Sarup 31 (36b) , R. Juffermans 6-0-56-1

Had to bowl first on a flat pitch. Not bad but the score could very easily mount. My youth bowler getting smashed, 1/56 from 6.

Anyway for your guys information. Netherlands needs spinners desperately so if you want a good chance of pulling a future U19 Nat, pull spinners. We only have 3 16 yo spinners with ordinary bowling and all of them have horrible secondaries. Here are our 3 16 yo spinners.

Type - bowl/tech - end/field/exp
RFS - ord/dreadful - ord/poor/atrocious
LFS - ord/poor - poor/atrocious/dread
RWS - ord/poor - poor/dread/atrocious

So those are pretty horrible so if you pull an ord/ord with decent endurance and/or fielding, then he will likely be a future NAT.

 

[Iridium]

Rik Juffermans is probably my best youth spinner but he's probably way off Nat standards. Plus he's 19

 

[hedger_14]

haha, yeah. 16 yo spinners. But our future U19 NAT spinners will be of that standard if we don't get some good pulls soon

 

[Iridium]

Well I'll start pulling Netherlands again.

End of over 48 (4 runs) - Mighty Gangshans(245-10) RR 5.10
E. Flett 5 (3b) , J. Elloit 9-1-34-2

Last 7 wickets going for just 73 runs. van Dalen was excellent with 4/28 from 10 on a flat pitch.

 

[Chewie]

okies I'll pull Netherlands spinners

I'll see if the guys at Cricsim will too

 

[hedger_14]

And feel free to sign up at the Netherlands offsite. We need some more activity there. (Not talking to you Chewie )

 

[Iridium]

Oh yep I know the one.

lol I saw the post you made. You really do lack spinners. I've posted on Cricsim about it and a couple of the guys there said they'll try.

Lost my T20. Pavilion Cup really straining my squad. Should be knocked out this week which is good. I think you get money if you advance to the 4th round.

Oh no, you've lost $52 this week

And there's still 2 more matches this week anyway. I think you're wasting money in your academy as your team doesn't really have any good players (no offence) so you're just wasting money on pointless players. Either just save up money and don't buy anyone for a couple of seasons and you have over $1,000,000 or actually start playing the game and buy some new good players, and try to make your team better.

 

[Iridium]

Wow, I wished I only lost $52 each week
