New Zealand Premier League XIII

We won the match and back on winning track all the batsmen contributed in the scorecard which is good.
 
Yes!!!:banana2
Way to go!
Ryder and Pietersen continue from where they left in the last game with Shiv and Cameron White stepping up as well this time.Our top order is obviously our strength and hopefully they continue the same in the coming games.AB looked out of touch today but he should be fine soon enough.
Patel and Woodcock formed a great partnership again,as did Tuffey and McKay.
The bowlers are complementing the batsmen well and when that happens,you tend to win more often than not.

bcvstheworld added 2 Minutes and 20 Seconds later...

It'll be great if BOPV can down the Magpies in the game to follow.:D
 
wow @ Mills' stats for this season. He's taken only one wicket :eek:

Tendulkar averaging 25.7, hopefully that'll improve to about 60 by the end of the season. If we are to make it to the finals he'll be a big part of it along with CZ Harris ofcourse :D
 
Owned. CricSim at its worst. I mean I would have preferred us to go all out, but nothings perfect.

Really for the first time i have witnessed Sachin underperforming in a criksim league

In season five Ponting averaged 22 in 11 matches, they both had the max rating then, and they both have the max rating now.
He's obviously going to fail sooner or later. ;)

His average's from season one to season six have gone:

1 - 44
2 - 44
3 - 62
4 - 49
5 - 71
6 - 43
7 - Due a fail (:p)

For comparison this is Ponting, who's had the exact same rating every season:

1 - 55
2 - 52
3 - 46
4 - 73
5 - 22
6 - 38
7 - Due a pretty good season

Owned. CricSim at its worst. I mean I would have preferred us to go all out, but nothings perfect.

I have no idea what's up with the scoring patterns.
All of the players that participated in season six have kept the exact same ratings, and the new players have just been rated the equivalent of the leaving players.
TBH I'm confused as much as you are. :confused:
 
I am back today Callum VMed me and told that he will wait for Dan to post and till then Break :p
 
I'm waiting for Rahul to post his line-up as well, I sent him a VM telling him to do it when he comes back, but he didn't. :p
And Dan should be back today or tomorrow.
 
Poor start to the season for the Crusaders. Need a win desperately
 
The final two matches of this round will be posted tomorrow, I'll be pretty pissed off if Rahul still hasn't posted his playing XI by then. :spy
