    Good management all round in terms of pitch, team selection and strategy made you rightful winners of this one - congratulations

    Jura struggling vs Geese in play offs... hat trick from Geese youth Hayes leaves them 76/5 chasing 150! An unconvincing win with 2 wickets to spare from Jura - thanks to the veteran Salman and home grown medium pace legend Marwick at No.10- (averaging 2.33 from his last 5 innings!)_ doesn't...

    Thanks first of all for organising JoJO The existing format ensured in CWC8 s the best 2 teams got places in the SF for sure and 3 of the 4 play off teams certainly also deserved their places on merit over the season IF you go for 2 leagues of 8 the advantage is quicker turnaround but it will...

    Domination might be stretching it :happy: We were all very good at thumping Nelson who is about to go BOT at the end of the season and employed the services of Mr Phil Inn and three spotty teenagers who between them weren't paid £100 a week in total I guess the silver lining is that The Reds...

    Small comfort for me that I called out that Moo were in it to win it last week and that TMO's were my dark horses! I've limped home with a couple of singles this week - in the Geese match Lewington was a bad choice as his balls only spun off the back of the stand seats! and he showed the...

    Much as I hate to lose... the matches so far show the competitiveness of CWC and that we are in good order. Also 'you never know' what will happen on the day , what issues lay beneath the surface for each team and whether the roulette wheel landed on you that day for the at least 1 in 20 ? in...

    I regret putting Curtis Emery up for sale at such a low starting price - opened batting vs GG - 113 off 51 balls including 98 in 6's and 4's - then took 2 catches and 2 stumpings.... before delivering 2 fingers to the Geese management in respect of his transfer

    I'm too sentimental ! Hurts to toss aside players I have cared for since they smoked their first fag behind the training nets - from boy to man! Thanks God we don't have avatars or I would get even more attached and have a team of 35 year olds. On a serious note though - I do note that...

    Wow didn't know that - just looked and saw you have 15 players ( I thought there was minimus limits of 11 Youth and 16 total squad- clearly was wrong!) - that's so tough from a Fitness perspective but what a beautiful set of Potentials!!! you will fast track an incredible team in 2 or 3 seasons!

    Understood mate , but you never know what boat the other teams are also in. From an external perspective currently your teams are both still on the rise in terms of CWC games according to the XPV. There's really not much in most games in this format hence most end up as 4.1 results - even games...

    Safely??? We are just half way through the season, there are 13 games and 65 points to play for and you sit in 7th spot, 2 points off a play-off place and with a Top 6 XPV - i think there's a bit of the old reverse kidology going on there from the doe-eyed dear old cow, lulling us into a false...

    Kyrpto its a nice thread and as said everyone has made good and valid cases so no issues at all - I was just banging the drum for my CWC comp guys but all cases have been well said and you certainly put a lot of Sherlock Holmes into your conclusions!:detective

    Nice work from Krypto to raise this chat thread. And as ever it all depends on the criteria you use for determining an XI (clearly everyone favours the criteria that suits their players the best !:)) So you won't be surprised with me mentioning that with Jura sitting pretty in 2nd you would...

    It is certainly a challenge enough to even stay in Div 2 !! I think selling Burger and Kock is not giving up - and starting again, you are sustainable and have other fish in the frying pan- the monies will no doubt be used to buy one better player or into DEV players or squirreled away for such...

    Agree with you. In BT you often see folks build up a great big nest egg and then blow it in sales and unsustainable wages for a season or two so they win big and then implode - that is skilful enough but I think this is a long term game and the skill is to be sustainable to play for 10 years as...

    Congrats to Stephen and his Orangutans for winning the DEV Cup. Even more kudos for his up front prediction. I think 10 of the Orangutans were tameable by the Geese but Levy was a cut above - he carried his bat for 133 off 104 balls whilst his teammates hunkered down and nurdled around him...

    Thank Stephen that is helpful ... but is touch impacted by how you played in a match (which would seem logical) or is it just randomly generated without reference to how the player has been performing
