Planetcricket Battrick League Final Thread

[ZoraxDoom]

Regarding the example, answer this then "Would you chose a respectable batsman with feeble fielding or a proficient batman with woeful fielding?"

Well, it really also depends on their stamina and concentration and age...but considering they are equal in evrything else, the Respectable if he had decent secondaries. The Proficient if the secondaries are poor.

And I said, it was a reversed order!
EDIT: Oh, you meant against the Mighty Awans? But Conelly got 90+ opening...not sure against the Pansies, and agaisnt the Brawlers it was a reversed batting order. But Tuckett made 11 there...

 

[Adarsh]

Then say lower order, not top order.

So you'd go for the respectable if ALL the secondaries apart from fielding, stamina, age etc, were equal? Stop moaning anyway. Just admit that my team is better than yours!!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Well, it isn't. I won't admit it until I have been soundly beaten, but as it stands - I beat you once by a considerable margin and lost once by a minimal margin. End of story.

 

[Briggsey]

Only Cox, Delop(on the verge of being dropped), Crouch, Atkinson and Drayton are regulars in my squad now. I didn't even set Crouch to bowl in that match!
And check out my ratings. They were higher than your's last time we met. If anyone in this forum is in a position to give Vinters advice for against you, its me.

What are Delop's primaries and secondaries like? Do you want to sell him, I may know someone interested

Well, it isn't. I won't admit it until I have been soundly beaten, but as it stands - I beat you once by a considerable margin and lost once by a minimal margin. End of story.

I dont think any team on these forums can say they are better than the other, most of us in a way all have a strength in some department which levels out with a weakness in another one. Victories can come about, and any team can beat anyone on there day, if the tactics are right, Spin could beat The Falcons (probably not but you never know ) Anyway, I think the league setup me and Chez are planning will show us all how good we really are, and the introduction of FC games will also give us a better idea of where our teams stand next season.

 

[Adarsh]

So Vintners, I know you're there, what news about your team?

 

[Briggsey]

Bushwackers have a huge squad, 25 players, most teams I know have 16 or 17 players, If I was you Vintners id just fire some of those players with BT ratings below 1000 because they arent going to sell

 

[Adarsh]

Yeah, I noticed that. Some of his squad are never realistically going to play a match. I've got 15 players, all who could play in my first team depending upon my opposition, pitch and fitness. Check out my new player in the transfer thread.

 

[vintners]

My squad is fit and raring to go. Got a tough game on Friday so some big decisions to be made regarding selection.

Regarding the size of the squad, I know I should trim it soon. I have tried, I just need a more ruthless streak. I've developed quite a bond with some of them. Having said that I did have a squad of about 40 at the start of the season so I think I've done well.

Hey, why bring me into this. In the copy of the Rankings I sent you, you will notice Im not the worst team in Planetcricket!

And yes, the league should make for interesting viewing and give a good idea of standings

 

[Adarsh]

I think there should be atleast a month's gap between this competition and the next one, otherwise there might be an overkill. It also allows players to challenge others *cough Zorax cough* to prove a point, or just for fun instead of playing just the ones in the competition.

 

[The Spin]

It wont start until the shield has finished which will be a while. Sign ups should begin shortly

 

[embi]

Here are my ratings for last match:

  	dreamteam  	Challengers XI
Top Order: 	woeful 	woeful
Middle Order: 	abysmal 	woeful
Lower Order: 	abysmal 	abysmal
Seam Bowling: 	worthless 	woeful
Spin Bowling: 	abysmal 	woeful
Fielding: 	woeful 	woeful

How come both our lower orders are better than Adarsh or Zoraxs?

And Spin, I think I have the honour of the worst team on PC. I have never won a game against anyone here.

 

[The Spin]

Actually, you are ahead of me, and Im not bottom. You have 1 league win, which i think you got from LAX when you replaced them

 

[ZoraxDoom]

My lower order isn't usually bad. I can, at best, have 2 feebles and 2 abysmals at 8-11. But normally I carry 3 abysmals+1 orlthless/1 feeble+2 abysmals+1 worthless.

I really wanna play the Cricket Geniuses in an FC game. I know 3 day friendlies aren't planned to be included, but as soon as they are, my first opponent is Adarsh.

 

[The Spin]

Can we get back on topic please?

Thoughts on the final?
