Trans Tasman Premier League

When/if my team is eliminated from the pre-season competition, I will be happy to have a friendly with you - but we're still in the competition, so as far as I know we can't play you just yet! :D

A disappointing loss, I'll concede, but we take our victories with our losses and it was only a close one so I'm not too disappointed. Umar Gul was again sensational but nobody in our batting lineup went on with their starts.
 
Melbourne does it in style!
Dighton didnt do it again, but our captain, Watson lead the way. Warner fails to do something useful and might find it hard to make it to the final. Jayawardene finds form too, and Raina continues his sizzling brilliance.
Hastings was a gamble that worked while Thushara, and Siddle were decent too.
Watch out Lions here we come!! Lineup to me Vm'ed soon

BKB1991 added 7 Minutes and 15 Seconds later...

No one wants a friendly against the finalists??
Good Luck to Aouni!
 
Lol at the friendly between Napier and Firebirds. When the first innings was over, I said ████. I don't want another loss. But, when I looked at the result, I was shocked. Nice 5'fer for Tuffey. This my first win of the season. :banana2

Yikes!
A tough ending to a promising tournament.
248, was a demanding target but we didnt bat well enough. I said it before our batting remains our weak link :facepalm.
Dilshan and Jeet Raval, whoever he is took the game away from us today. Surprised Afridi only got 3 overs to bowl :eek: Most of our batsman got starts but couldnt convert them to something substantial. Need them to come big if we want to win the TTPL this time around.
Biggy is the trading on yet?? I need to find a quality batsman :doh
 
I will start a thread now, each team is permitted 2 trades.

I will also be reviewing the divisions now, and changes will be made based on the KO cup and the friendlies I've seen.

I would recommend you to use seeded randomization. I guess it will be much better then just plain randomization. Also it will give us an idea on the quality of our squads

I've won three out of four of my friendlies.
In the friendly I lost I wasn't resting any players, while in the three friendlies I won i was playing my B team.
 
All of my players with the exception of Johnson are up for trade, but it will take a decent offer - none of Hedger's ridiculous crap where he will try and trade me some no-name for Callum Ferguson.
