Trans Tasman Premier League

[BKB1991]

Yep. Writups at times is ████ and it seems that many people dont exactly read it. Just keep the league going as normally as you could.
Dont worry about what CG said. He was just pointing out his displeasure at his teams performance. He runs a league too and should know that some times people play strangely

 

[MaD]

Yes but our domestic players MUST be as strong as the Aussie domestic ones as NZL domestic cricket isn't that big, like if an Aussie player has an average of 40 in 20 matches, you would give him a pretty low rating but if a NZL player has an average of 40 in 20 matches I think he should get more because 20 matches is quite a bit for NZL domestic, otherwise it's upto you, but if a NZL team doesn't come 3rd, 4th or 5th or better in the end, i'd say it's unfair or rigged

 

[Covvy]

Hye Biggy, I'd be more than happy, starting when the main season starts, to write up after each round a quick summary about each game if you want

I think he has that much of sense to make it fair for everyone unless owners have made some sh*t picks.

Covvy's roundly wrap up? That sounds good. Just a brief run over the round, put your own spin on it? upto you.

 

[Sartaj]

I think Biggy sucks.He should quit

How dare you!!!
Get out of here before i finish kissing Madhur's GF. :
Take it easy Biggy.
He's just a jerk.
You're doing a great job.

 

[CG123]

The quicker you realize that all I do is give a player an average and that I don't have all these players at the local Cricket Club playing out the match the better. I can't control strike rates or how agressive they are so there is no point in whining when a player doesn't perform exactly to his real life average..

Also, I won't be doing the little write ups anymore sorry, I tried but I honestly don't have the time or patience and with about 120 matches to sim it will bore me. I will be asking to be moved to the Leagues section.

Sorry if you took that the wrong way.

I has just posting my feeling on the match, I know exactly what you do.
Don't worry about some of the stuff I say after my matches, you will get used to it. Just have to put my frustration somewhere.

Dont worry about what CG said. He was just pointing out his displeasure at his teams performance. He runs a league too and should know that some times people play strangely

Thanks for that BKB... Exactly what I'm getting at.

 

[MaD]

I could do a mini review thing too

 

[Covvy]

I've already dibbed on it

 

[MaD]

I don't mind, just whoever is online I guess

 

[Covvy]

Or we could share if you really want to contribute, like half the matches each. I don't crae, up to Biggy I suppose.

 

[MaD]

I wont be online much for the next 2 months or so, we'll see

[OffCutters]

Nice to start of with a win, Steyn, Tait, Magoffin and Cockley bowled very well, Would`ve liked Magoffin and Mendis to get a wicket though. Nice batting by Cosgrove,Ponting,Ronchi,Strauss and White, but looks like i`ll have to do a few changes.
