Very happy with my first game. I rested my best player, because I only promoted him yesterday and he had dreadful endurance. So I'm training that at the moment. Is pups a CW team? It sounds familiar.

Male Models 237/7 (20)
Ridgeway 159 (71), Frost 28 (20)

pups_Cmen 167/7 (20)

Accepted. Anyone get any good YPs? I went for a batsman and got a dreadful bat. (y)

That's not Rodgie's team btw.

Nice. I'm banking on there being a few capable/reasonable YPs listed on the market as I'll have a bit to spend when Camacho's sale goes through. There's one 17yo reasonable listed already. I want to get at least eight of my starting eleven under the age of twenty, I've got a few good older players but I can't imagine them being useful for too long.

Me too, i guess they'll be better when the academies are.

I promoted a ordinary/average 18YO batsman to the senior team. Straight in to the first XI.

When we have say 8 teams who would be keen for a CW FTP cup. I reckon our teams will all be reasonably matched seeing as we all just started. We could do either 2 pools or a super 8. What do you say?

I wouldn't mind a cup, just to keep a steady flow of friendlies happening while there aren't a lot of teams to challenge.

Why not just have a straight knockout, then when its over start again?

Currently in a friendly against ***y ***y Hakon. They're batting first and are 2/19 (4). Got him just where i want him.

So now we have 7.
Smith, what's your team name.
BTW Bob, i would prefer 2 pools of 4. Two top teams of each group go into semis for the cup. The two bottom teams of each group compete for the shield.

Right one more team needed for an 8.

Pool A
Asterix XI - AdamC
caves_beachcc - bugssy
Male Models - EARLOBE
Otago - NZTailender

Pool B
Central Districts - dontcloseyoureyes
Wheelabarrowback - Clapo
The Winners - 33/3from3.3
Zero Pillars and Hero Fillers - Bobisback

I assure you, all teams were assigned to a pool randomly.
edit: missed Bobisback, put him in.

I'll post games in another post for clarity.

When are we starting this?

I've already got a friendly with caves_beachcc on the 18th, so will that count for the cup, or would we play again? I don't have a problem either way.

Bah. Tied a game against an opposition wildly worse than me on ratings. (Wasn't helped by the star allrounder getting himself run out :dry: ) They didn't even manage to make five off the rotten bowler's last over either - seems like team innings are made in vacuum and not considering the pitch or other team's score.
