Melbourne Bitters 06/07 Team Thread

Ok, obviously I don't have the knowledge of AFL to make a fair decision on the game. I am sorry if I have offended you.



P.S: I will always enjoy league and soccer more than AFL

You have. Go away. Nah just kidding, but seriously you should watch it because it's a great sport. Better than Cricket, Soccer, Rugby and League put together. And without cricket, it would be 10000 times better.

I don't take many wickets, but I'm still in the team and I'm happy with that!

I have watched a couple of games and I didn't like it that much. I might actually watch some Sydeny games this year.

EDIT: I agree with you on union. Can't stand that sport, they kick it more than they have it in there hands.

Actually I like Union, it is my third favourite sport, behind AFL and Cricket, but AFL is just that good, that it can still be that far ahead of it.

AFL - Best sport
Cricket - Hardest sport

I just simmed six matches against the Soakers in OD's and we beat them 5-1 and the loss that we did have was by 3 runs. The other matches we won pretty convincingly.
I uploaded 3 of the scorecards with the commentary in it aswell. I'll upload the rest if ya want.

The last thing we need is 3 all rounders

Seems I've regained the ability to bat though

 

[aussie_ben91]

It does work Brad. Pure Allrounders are very economical in OD's and the 2 batting allrounders can arse out 10 overs.

It's worth a try, seeing as we're bottom of the table in OD's anyway.

We don't need 3 though, the third all rounder didn't even bat once- a pure bowler wouldn't go for anything like what the batting all rounders went for and would take more than 1 wicket in 60 overs of bowling. Equally if you want the all rounders bowling 20 overs you may as well drop one for a pure bat, there's no difference between one bowling the fifth set of 10 overs or two sharing it.

 

[aussie_ben91]

Hmmm... I suppose you're right. We did win the last match right?
The one before that we got killed by the Warriors in our hometown. Squiz got knocked over first ball, 2 balls later the same thing happened to Lefty. And then you got you're middle stump knocked out of the ground; doing cartwheels. Then 2 balls after that Cric_Craze suffered the same fate and I'm standing at the non strikers end looking at score of 4 wickets down for 22 runs thinking what the ffffffffff.
Spin & Mark second & thired top scored and if it wasn't for me, it wouldn't been an even more embarrassing result then it actually was.

Batsmen, All rounders

Batting all rounders score too slowly to be of any real use in one dayers, and won't ever take wickets- play on good pitches and the top 6 will get the runs we need. 5 bowlers is overkill in the longer form, avoid anything excellent looking in terms of pitches and back the long batting lineup to get through.

I think it'd be good if player types could be exchanged with another member of the squad, if not directly changed- means it can't be used tactically and we don't have to screw over the people who chose crap player types *cough batting all rounders* or give them sympathy games.

Well you're not an all rounder, so that's my criteria satisfied

That's how I prefer to be addressed, yes
