Dev League Season 8 (Sign Up Here!)

Tazza probably means that we earnt more points through the season. 2 good arguments.

yup that was what i ment with it...imo i think we played pretty well over the whole season had some dips but always came out.

I'm not sure what revelance a TIMELESS TEST has to a FIVE DAY league, but hey ho what can you do.

Um...what on earth do you propose we do about draws, then?

Congrats to Black, btw. Hope I can say that without all my Red team-mates jumping on me.

Through playing different opponents, yes...

Well done to Black, better team on the day (most of the 6 of them anyway). Sorry to my guys that i couldn't show up at all , hopefully i can do something in the OD final

It ensures a winner and eliminates any potential negative play. Sour.

Yes and Green was rewarded with the title. The final has no bearing on the title. Black completely outplayed Green and thus, deserved the Trophy more.

Congrats to the Blacks... you were the better in this contest..... we'll get you in the OD's

Do you have to be so controversial Robbins?

What is controversial about pointing out the rules?

Conglulations to Black for winning the 5D or Timeless title, maybe the Blues can step up next season and we will be there. Good luck to both sides and the their players in the OD Final, should be a very interesting game.

I though it was quite funny reading some of the reaction to thamba's sign up. He just put down his career stats and some people just had a go at him. I've seen allot of batsmen just like him who can bowl and keep effectively. Also most top bowlers in club generally average under 20, my career average is 15 or so. I put in 25 cus i didn't like my batting average of 7. But if u really want people to put down their club stats then u are going to get bowlers with averages of under 20 or all rounders will averages of just over 20. I think the only way to slove this is by putting guidelines to what type of stats u can put in. For example something like this:
Specialist Batsmen/Keeper: Batting (Max 45), Bowling (Min 40)
Specialist Bowler: Bowling (Min 20), Batting (Max 30)
All Rounder: Batting (Max 40), Bowling (Min 25)

This is just my 2 cents

BM has been dropped for the one-day final big news

 

[Loony BoB]

No worries guys, the better team won on the day just like the better team in the regular season won the championship. We can do this, though - we have the two biggest titles this year but it would be great to win a trophy final, too, so let's kick some **** in this last game.

BRILLIANT PLAY BLACKS!!!

Callum's innings was absolutely magnificent, truly spectacular. We've got two trophies in the cupboard now, its now time for a third.

Very happy with my performance in the final too, I'm glad I performed when it mattered and the results were rather good.

Well done Blacks!

It's party time!

 

[Travis_Teh]

Well played both teams, congratulations to the black party.

Just getting one thnig staright okay.. when i went of my nutter... i wasnt going off at the person who signed up personally....

i was just goin of at the amount of people who r coming into the game as superstars.. so it wasnt aimed 'directly' at you okay.

 

[Dydl]

75 runs in the match!!!! Beautiful innings by Thompson there though.

Specialist Batsmen/Keeper: Batting (Max 45), Bowling (Min 40)
Specialist Bowler: Bowling (Min 20), Batting (Max 30)
All Rounder: Batting (Max 40), Bowling (Min 25)

Just gotta say man....those playeres are tooooooooo awesome. They are all allrounders if yo uask me, brilliant ones at that. If at any time your batting aver age is higher than our bowling average, that makes you a pretty damn good player!

I think Batting and Bowling should be interlinked - ie; you don't have 40 bat and 25 bowl, you need to make a compromise
