    ***Official Netherlands in South Africa - The Big One III***

    The whole IPL rights situation was an insane leverage play by both parties. They were both playing chicken to see who would budge first since there is no real alternative that could afford the IPL rights in Africa. MultiChoice were hoping they could get a discount; ViaCom wanted to be paid in...

    Stumped!

    Btw does it matter which region I set my team up in? I think I chose Asia (South African team though) based on time zone.

    Stumped!

    That's great to know. Its been a while, but if I remember right, Battrick in-game matches only improved experience - it didn't affect skills development at all! Regarding the potential, I just saw the 20 accuracy and thought that must be pretty rare. But now that I'm reading the guide, I'm...

    Cheers. Used to play a ton of Battrick so I've got a basic idea of how these sorts of games work. Will be useful to use the guides for more game-specific things like efficient training methods, optimal tactics etc.

    Stumped!

    Just joined this game yesterday and recruited a player through the scout thing. I have no idea if this guy is a beast or if he's unusable given how weirdly his bowling stats are allocated.

    What makes a good #7 in ODIs?

    I don't think looking at those numbers in isolation is a fair indication of the challenge. The standard balance of a cricket team when there are no over limits is six batsmen, one keeper, and four bowlers. Given the keeper is generally expected to be a solid batsman in their own right, it...

    What makes a good #7 in ODIs?

    The 'good 7' is team-dependent, but most commonly it would be a batting all-rounder who can still bowl 8 overs a match, or 6/7 at a minimum. Most ODI teams will have someone in the top 6 who can bowl a couple of overs, so the batting is arguably more important than the bowling. I'd say a Ben...

    South Africa team selection

    Pretorius getting one is a bit worrying. Hendricks too but I feel that was always going to be a token contract given to some backup bowler. Would have liked to see intent by giving Malan and/or Mulder a contract but I guess the latter hasn't done enough to justify one yet.

    True. But that doesn't mean it's any more or less funny. It also doesn't mean mods should deal with it differently.

    Hasan Ali

    It's a consistent effort from those involved to derail threads. If it wasn't Slippy creating the threads it would be highly criticised by more people, I'm sure. Also, complaining once about consistent efforts to derail threads > continuously derailing said threads.

    The food jokes were mildly humorous the first time. They're not anymore.
