BT Cup 5

[mikeW]

Not too fussed about having to qualify, how many qualifying rounds are there?

 

[AussieDominance]

Ahhh draw Lancashire again and Whenuapai very very tough but something you can expect being one of the lowest seeded teams. Honestly nothing against Marc but how did he get a second seed Smith is better than him and did not?

 

[Johnners]

ohhhh tought group for me. Will need to pull off upsets to get anywhere

 

[alternative]

Hopefully i can pull off a win or two, i am seeking a revenge with quite a few teams this time around.

I think im the underdog of the group, though im looking forward to our match

 

[Kweek]

nice group I got there, can't wait for it so start

 

[cricketboy29]

Dalmeny, always going to be a tough match. However, I think that other two teams and I are quite fairly matched.

Have you seen Marc's cup record and his a lot better then you think. Apart from SP his side got the best secoondaries out of CW teams and the primaries are pretty good. A few sides are catching up to him due to their trainees finding their feet, but his still better then a lot of sides. Two seasons ago he was rated as being in the top 8 sides on CW, by Adam in his cup seedings. His still in the top 16, which ever way you look at it.

In terms of match summary ratings he's probably outside the top 16 CW teams, tho that's probably down to his morale. Your team would probably beat him for instance.

Most teams would beat me to be honest - I've had the busy work period since Xmas or so, so haven't really had time to sort my side out.

I have however got a trainee coming on that will eventually give my side a pretty good boost...

 

[Agent TBY]

Adam and Cloete?

Oh no. Group of death, imo.

 

[roseboy64]

Decent group IMO.

 

[GotSpin]

Challenging group. Unless Allen and Padaychie can play I'll get rolled

 

[nibbs]

pretty easy group for whenuapai tbh

 

[chaminda_00]

I thought I might as well announce the qualifying group match ups before i get ready for work. The teams listed first are the home teams. But if both managers agree to change the venue of the match they can e.g for more money or better viewing times.

• Qualifier 1: Brakenhurst vs Drunk XI
• Qualifier 2: Zebras vs Comets
• Qualifier 3: Henry's Dream vs Tawonga Tigers
• Qualifier 4: Halsey's Sloggers vs Beard XI
• Qualifier 5: Tamil Eelam CC vs Victoria Panthers
• Qualifier 6: Alternative XI vs Saggers Mob

The winners of each match will progress into their respective allocated groups i.e Qualifier 1 into Group H. In the event of a tie the team with the least wicket loss progress, or the winner of the toss.

Haha, got geg again. He's beaten me in friendlies three times this season.

I'm betting we'll choke in this match, tbh.

 

[pasag]

Eek Altoz, never beaten him.

Hmmm it will be against one of my full strength sides.

 

[nibbs]

hmm, the prospect of Victoria Panthers joining Group G will certainly make for interesting proceedings. Obviously first place is pretty clear cut , but the battle for second is going to be hott.

Group G - The Group of Death
