The Planetcricket Battrick Shield 2006 (For New Or Knocked Out Teams)

[embi]

Lucky &^*?! I won't get any mercy

So my losing streak is likely to be extended...
Well actually I have the first team I ever beat on OD League next, their squad doens't look as improved as mine...

 

[RabbleRouser]

Your group isn't that bad, if you get the right pitch you could give Casino 36 a good match, I managed a tie at home against them with a few bowlers out of form.

 

[The Spin]

The draw was done by the roll of a dice, so you cant blame me!

@embi - Sorry mate, when I saw that draw I felt sorry for you
@RabbleRouser - JJ3 should be easy, yes, but can you make a 1st week upset and win at The Lion Stands?

I don't know, they have a stronger squad on paper than I do. Still, its 2 qualifiers from each group, right?

 

[The Spin]

Yes, it is, so it could be interesting to see some of the battles for qualification

 

[RabbleRouser]

... but can you make a 1st week upset and win at The Lion Stands?

:rtfl If I beat them i'll change my sig to "I am the god of all fairies", so in other words no, i've got no chance

I don't know, they have a stronger squad on paper than I do.

They've got some good seamers, try playing them on a slow pitch, should help you.

 

[The Spin]

You never know what will happen, Zorax may make another mistake...

If you win, then Ill hold you to that deal!

 

[borncricketer]

Won't a slow pitch help the seamers?
Just wondering what I should go for, won't post it here...

 

[The Spin]

Yes, anyone without a game this week can play a friendly against any team

 

[RabbleRouser]

I thought slow helped spinners more than seamers, dusty definately makes it harder for the seamers though.

Yeah, but I might not even get them at home

Yeah but if I prepare a dusty pitch, his competent spin bowler will destroy me! Also doesn't give my seamers a chance, theyre ibetter than my spinner.

OK Spin if the Shield doesn't start this week I'll give you a 1st XI rematch (well I've only got 15 players now thanks to my rebuilding). At my place this time, its bigger (by about a 1000 )

 

[The Spin]

The shield is starting this week, i posted fixtures and everything

 

[embi]

Shame then. After we both get knocked out (unless theres an upset, first round)
