BT20 Predictions:

24/09/2009 BT20 Predictions
The West Coast Wizards coach, Hooper, has been very kind to his scouts, sending them on a week long tour of the other teams in their BT league... A working holiday of some sort.

Liams winners - Bot, easybeats
The Ladies - Team of stars, no chance of beating
Penni Chew - On par, beatable side
dannyisgod - On par, beatable side
Petes Irish Thugs - Good side, beatable if WCW go for it
Dominant Performance - Team of stars, will dominate
Dark Claw CC - Champion team, likely cup winners
Wishbone Ash - Bot, easy beats
123456 - Err, bot, easy beats
Limerick CC - Tough side, if stars play then too strong for WCW
Ingenious Indians - Bot, easy beats

With quite a few super strong sides, WCW won't be able to compete for the title but with a few bots and sides about even, a few wins would be nice.

FC League Predictions:

24/09/2009 First Class Predictions
The West Coast Wizards, coached by Hooper, will be looking to dominate its FC league this season. The team has had a major reshuffle with some useful additions and some crap tossed away. The scouts have been out on their FC opponents:

Bruck steamers - Bots, easybeats
Preston Pesterers - Very strong squad, likely champions
ReV CC - Bots, easybeats
Auburn Chatlaks - Bots, easybeats
the thala warriors - Bots, easybeats

So with only one other team that is active in its team management, the WCW will be looking to a successful season. It looks like the WCW will have to be happy with 2nd position, but if Preston lets the foot off the pedal then the WCW could claim first. With a massive innings defeat already last season by the hands of WCW, Preston will be looking to win the next encounter.

OD League Predictions:

24/09/2009 One Day League Predictions
West Coast Wizards coach, Hooper, has sent the scouts out on a little working holiday around the country to scout the new teams in its one day league in a bid to gain an early advantage on their opponents

Wombos Woofers - Absolute guns, obviously camping
YasMen - Very good team, no chance of beating
Banksys Beamers - Very good team, no chance of beating
DRAGONSXI - Very good team, no chance of beating
Cranbourne Cricket Club - Decent team, better on paper, but even
Sugarloaf CC - Bots, easy beats
Veradilla CC - Bots, easy beats

Very tough OD leage it seems for WCW. 4 very experienced and skilled teams make up the 8, with Cranbourne the only non-bot competition it seems. Likely position, 5th or 6th.

I think it's sweet that you're still a Harry Potter fan.
I'm picturing you and your crew hanging round on street corners, disrespecting passers by and debating whether Neville and Luna could ever have made it together.

The irony of you having Justin Fontaine in your squad.... Griffo would have paid a lot to have two Justin's
