PC: T20 Blast Tournament - Series 1 - (Round 2)

[_Sam_]

I personally having watched Dawson live in a large amount of games don't think his batting average does him much credit in T20 . If I had him he'd be down as a sort of top 6 player and has opened at county level quite a few times in the past. This year he's actually been batting at 3 in FC cricket.

I'd argue over the point over you having the strongest batting line up .

Just a note that Ultimates is now taking over the managing roles of the Leeds Lynx and will be swapping his reserve manager place .

Probably ChinaManSpin will take over as manager for Durham.

Well, Next two rounds will make sure that our batting will be unarguably strongest. Dawson and Samson are just backup players

Haha, you'll never make me give in . I'd get a couple of good pure bowlers in there if I were you otherwise I'd worry about going for a lot of runs . You've picked quite a few people who would normally be picked as a 5th bowler at county level in there.

Naah. We can chase anything

I'll be honest and admit originally I was going to go for Hussey instead of Bailey, Ajmal instead of Mendis, Onions instead of Thomas and Watto instead of Wright but I think I've picked up more than decent replacements who are all match winners and kept relatively well to the plan I set at the start of round 1 . Also got 5 core bowlers in there as well as Wright incase anyone has a bad day .

Inclusion of so many allrounders is giving a impression that our bowling is weak.

Faulkner: 79 wickets at an avg of 20
Trego: 69 wickets at an avg of 31
Woods: 54 wickets at an avg of 27
Napier: 123 wickets at an avg of 21
Dawson: 31 wickets at an avg of 28
Meschede: 16 wickets at an avg of 23
Watson: 105 wickets at an avg of 23

So basically all of them are pretty good bowlers who happen to bat very decent too.
So we've got bowling covered.

We dont buy great players but we make them great

They may be wicket takers but I think they'll struggle to keep the runs right personally .

All just some good banter between managers anyway .

Wise works Venk .

 

[AngryPixel]

Out of all of them. Only Meshcede is a wild card as he has not played a lot but seem pretty good bowler. Cooke is our wild card in batting. His stats are not that great but he's had a great season last year.

Best way to stop the runs is to take wickets

I assume you'll open with Wood and Faulkner? (Bowling that is )

 

[AngryPixel]

Definitely (in batting) as a ploy to surprise and throw the opponent off in a couple of matches.

 

[ultimates]

My First Bid for LL's !

Welcome to the party

----------

Can we add a rule which require you to give each player a minimum amount of matches so that teams would actually focus on getting 15 players. Rather than getting 11 players and stuffing 4 nothing players just to complete the requirement. This should bring more strategy in place.
