Season Four - General Discussion

I've opened up a thread in the social group, where general discussion about season four can begin to take place.

These are six main points which I want your opinion on:

* Season Format

* Pre-Season Transfer System

* Pre-Season Tournament

* Player Eligibility

* Squad's/Playing XI's

* Injuries/Pitch Conditions

Don't be constraint to those six things, please feel free to discuss anything else you want to.

I've posted my opinions and questions to you over there, I understand it's quite a bit of writing to absorb all at once, so maybe just read and comment on one section a day.

It would be got if every manager could just spend 5 - 10 minutes writing down some things about what they want to see in season four, this would really help me know what you guys want.

Please don't comment on season four in this thread at the moment, just keep the discussion to the social group while the season three play-offs continue here.
 
Good win there.
Gibbs played well in testing conditions and anythink above 200 was always going to be tough to chase down.
Shakib bowled very well and pitch was not conductive for stroke play.
Hopefully,we'll get to face Otago rather than Canterbury in the SCCS. :D
 
Fantastic win over the defending champions, although I am not sure they played their strongest XI. The main reason for the win was everyone contributing in their own departments. Tough encounter against the Cobras again but we are planning to take it one game at a time. Also I think our captain is back and our little revival at the end of the season is a bit pleasing to see. Last season we had a similar one but couldnt make it count. Lets hope we do something special this time around :D
 
Wait.. So I have been booted? Why, might I ask? I submitted my Round 9 line-up :confused:

No, I sent you two reminders and you still didn't...
Also I warned you all the way back in round three; "If he fails to select his playing XI again, he will be sacked due to major repetitive inactivity."
And then you didn't select your round 10 line-up either, after I sent you another reminder...
 
You did not! I Received nothing about a Round 10 line-up!

Hmm, pretty sure I submitted a Round 9 line-up. Ah well....

View our VM conversation, you even replied to the VM reminder, but still didn't submit your line-up or post anything in the thread...
 
You could possibly find someone to co-captain with if you still want to be a part of it?

The Magpies spin trio were too hot to handle on a poor pitch, as they triggered a massive Ace's batting collapse.
 
Yay :)

My best bowlers all performed, whereas Jimmy Anderson didn't. Home advantage really helps because I can exploit my strong point - spin. Marshall has come good in this latter part of the season after having a poor beginning. Hay though has had a very poor season and only retains his place because I need another NZ batsman and he can get injured instead of others :spy
 
LMAO, just realised we finished on top of this group :D Good win for HB that, Hamish Marshall batted well and Auckland couldn't cope with the bowling.

That's hilarious, we played a weak team and still won :laugh

Gazza added 1 Minutes and 27 Seconds later...

WTF

Gazza Fired, Bay of Plenty docked six points

An amazing turn of events has seen the Bay of Plenty Blondes manager Gazza fired, as well as his former team docked four competition points.

Were we docked four points or six?
 
In your last two games I played pretty much your weakest team, yet you somehow managed to win both... :noway

CG123 added 4 Minutes and 29 Seconds later...



Six, edited. :spy

Well I played my weakest team because I was already in the playoffs
