Guys, the team I'm playing in my first league match was just replaced with a new owner, and as such their ratings in the cup were:
woeful
abysmal
worthless
woeful
useless
feeble

I'm probably going to TIE, but do you think I should play normal just to ensure I get this first easy win under my belt?

 

[Adamc]

Woohoo... bought this guy for £194,204 with my maiden bid - can't believe it.

Cue Adam to say he bought a proficient player for a fiver and a packet of crisps last week.

Not quite, I'm looking at a prof spinner who's pretty close to strong, but I don't really want to spend more than 150k at the moment as I want to save up for someone really good. Speaking of which, there's an 18yo superb/quality/prof batsman on the market at the moment, but will probably go for well over a million I unfortunately.

My YP was slightly better than last week, mediocre consistency and worthless everything else. Didn't waste any ITS on him fortunately, going to save up at least 40 or 50, not sure what age I'm going to pull though.

PY, your guys must have good secondaries and stamina though, right?

Not particularly, a few of them have good secondaries but a lot don't have great ones (woeful/feeble kind of area). If you're wondering about the cup we played, it had to be the fact that I had bots in my league to TIE against for the whole season so team morale and fitness were ridiculously high.

 

[Tom Halsey]

My cup match:

Melbourne University (bot) 234/9

Halsway CCC 235/1

TIE'd so should get a TS boost, Wheeler just showed me for good that he's never bowling again (good bat though).

 

[PY]

Going pretty well in my cup game, scored 356/3 off 50. Singh got 70 (60), Ahmed (+) got 83 (103), Ahmed 100 (79) and Chanderpaul 82* (54) so good scoring for my top 4.

They are 126/6 off 26 overs so should be OK for the win with TIE.

 

[GotSpin]

Looks like i won't be able to TIE this whole season

I want to buy a respectable or proficient spinner with atleast feeble secondries but there seem to be none

[cricketboy29]

And that's the end of the match. Sad Decadent XI won by 9 wickets.
Mani Magoso 254-9
Sad Decadent XI 255-1

My match, won it on TIE, so im pretty happy. My opener is turning out to be absolute gun, in the five matches ive played so far, these season and last, hes scored atleast 50+ runs in all ofthem, with four centuries.

 

[GotSpin]

I count six...

huh?


***olution CC isn't a bot team

 

[superkingdave]

Well, finally accessed my match, decided to go on normal as i wasn't sure about my opponents but doing okay so far 89-0 after 11

 

[cricketboy29]

could some one help? the money that i recieved from the gate reciepts, seem to be much lower than the amount they should be.

 

[thewizard1o1]

Playing my first ever 'real' match, set the other mob 303 for victory. meanwhile they are 50-1 in the 10th over...fingers crossed.

 

[Adamc]

***olution CC isn't a bot team

Six respectable or proficient bowlers with feeble+ consistency I mean.

gate receipts for cup are shared 50/50

 

[superkingdave]

anyway 120-0 after 14, Abdul Kadeer who is being given his first chance opening is 64* from 40

I thought home teams got 2/3 of the money and away only gets 1/3?

 

[cricketboy29]

righto, thanks dave, i thought i was being cheated there

 

[superkingdave]
