Super Series

[James]

In the event of a tie a random choice will be made on who the top three managers are.

Slow Love's suggestion was a good one so it will now be determined on who got their team in first.

 

[superkingdave]

Good suggestion Slow-Love - we'll run with that

Regarding the opener positions, Katich and Gilchrist will be the openers right? Well, Gilchrist is the wicket-keeper so shows in the wicket-keeper drop down menu while Simon Katich wasn't talked about opening until just a few days ago while this competition was created a couple of weeks ago so its proved difficult.

You'll still pick up points for Katich whether he plays as an opener or a middle order batsman in the game today however.

yeah but perhaps in hindsight it would have been better had we to choose 5 batsmen rather than 2 openers and 3 middle order players as the positions can be quite fluent in ODI cricket these days, of course in hindsight you might have gone with just one opener slot and a keeper slot

Valid point, it comes down to whether its worth re-working the whole FC system for one competition which it obviously isn't.

For future changes to FC perhaps it should be 5 batsman, 1 all rounder, 1 wicketkeeper, 4 bowlers rather than 2 openers, 3 batsmen, etc.

cool, i don't think we'll have such a big problem again, hopefully team will take us into account when picking openers in future

I think that would be a great idea, James.

 

[James]

Thanks for your thoughts guys.

I've just updated FC for the first innings of the first ODI so have a look

 

[James]

1st ODI - Points Updated

 

[Slow Love™]

Bloody hell, I'm in 101st spot - I genuinely thought I'd have done better than that. But I didn't have Watson or Sangakkara.

Still, there's a lot of guys on equal scores though, and this was always going to be tight. Only 35 points between where I'm at and top spot. I'm hoping to see Cameron White get to play a part next game.

Best team name: "Never mind Shaun Pollocks"

 

[James]

First innings points updated for the 2nd ODI....

 

[James]

2nd ODI Points Updated

 

[BoyBrumby]

191st! Man, that's bad even for me!

 

[Burpey]

I started well but had a bad day today. I think I'm out of the running

 

[Slow Love™]

I advanced about 25 places to equal 76th - which surprised me 'cause I felt I did a fair bit better in the first match. There's obviously a lot of people bunched up on similar scores. The gap between where I am and first place has increased from around 35 to 50-odd though.

 

[The Baconator]

191st! Man, that's bad even for me!

If you think that's bad, think of the idiot down in 544th

 

[sledger]

im around the 200's so pretty mediocre for me as well.

 

[James]

Points Updated and we have three clear winners!

 

[The Baconator]

Unlucky to Marc to miss out on the free game again, but 543rd that's just terrible.

 

[James]

Yeah, very unlucky.

I finished 160th

 

[BoyBrumby]

226th!

Contiuned in my usual vein of starting modestly & finishing awfully!
