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

[_Sam_]

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.

I was hoping to make it as realistic as possible to be honest. If a manger has picked 11 players and 4 nothings then they're screwed if one (or more) of their top 11 doesn't perform and requires dropping which I expect will happen in most teams to be honest. Also adds more complexion in working out the amount of times a player has played and enforcing it.

(I personally wouldn't mind it with my epic team looking at my reserves and my remaining budget at the moment though in that mind ),

I agree. You got some really good bargains.

----------

In private round we wont know who is the highest bidder or how much is the bid on that player in that round. But the problem is that if you are bidding on a player and another manager is bidding. At the end of the round that manager doesn't know whether he's the highest bidder or not. But you know that. Doesn't that give you added advantage about how much you should bid in the next round?

Considering the fact that you have just one player left and around 122500 bucks left, you wont be looking to save money. You would anyway bid highest amount and sit back and wait for two rounds.

 

[ChinamanSpin]

I suddenly feel all powerful as a manager. I might be able to get my bids in tonight but it will probably have to be tomorrow.

We don't know how online system works in DBC yet. But if it allows us to create our own leagues and invite other players to join, then that would be awesome. That would take the load off you for organizing the match fixtures and stats tracking would be done instantaneously. I wish it would bring injuries into play. Such as a player if gets injured cant play next 2 or 3 matches depending on seriousness of injury. That would bite those teams in ass who have no backup keeper.

That would bite those teams in ass who have no backup keeper.

Looks around sheepishly . Er.... Yeh.... That would be an erm, great feature . Carberry's one of the best fielders on the county feature so I'm sure he'd do just fine .

 

[AngryPixel]

I trust Ross to put something in code that would make a normal player keeping perform badly and give away more byes than required.

 

[_Sam_]

But some are still decent at it. I remember Morgan keeping for England in either an ODI or T20I a couple of years back because they had no reserve keeper out there and think he did ok at it .

Whenever i hear/read his name it remind me of this

 

[_Sam_]

Well it reminds me of a class batsmen in my team now .

 

[AngryPixel]

I'm surprised that nobody has gone after Hodge yet He's the highest scorer in T20 history for some reason. My overseas players quota is finished so I can't but i would really be surprised if he goes unsold.

*<some manager> cursing at me for bringing Hodge under limelight

You can still get Haddin or Karthik

----------

Just checked out London Lions lineup. With 3 frontline spinners in their squad. They gonna play on dustbowls. We all would be cursing venky during away games at his ground.

 

[_Sam_]

Got Al Hasan and Mendis .

 

[AngryPixel]

You bowling is kind of balanced, good for both spinning and seaming tracks. Probably that is the only thing lacking in our team.

----------

Dynamos would most probably host everyone on bouncy tracks with Mitchelle, Bresnan, Dernbach and Pathan in their lineup.

----------

Just noticed the staggering lack of sheer pace bowlers in the league. Why there were no Lee, Tait etc were not in hte auction list

----------

@Samp , you'll get DBC for PS3 too?

 

[_Sam_]

Most likely will so may be able to get some friendlies , not sure about the fast bowlers to be honest .

 

[AngryPixel]

Thats what i was thinking. Would be fun experimenting with our teams in friendlies before the PC league.
About the fast bowlers, well i can't see anyone genuinly fast there except Malinga, Cummins and Johnson . So basically out of 9 teams just 3 have really fast bowlers. Rest have Fast medium and medium.

----------

So that takes out my plan to bounce people out of the equation

----------

Anyway, gotta go now. Lets hope everyone send their bids by the time i wake up.

 

[_Sam_]

Just @ChinamanSpin @Lebanna and @mazd to come now . Hopefully next round a few people will have filled there teams so it won't take as long .
