I must say with Alex and Baz both deciding to have 20yr old squads it has made me tempted to do the same.
Would be fun to develop a squad and get attached to your players :P
But for now ill stick with my current squad for another season atleast.

[Alex7089]

Yeah that is it for me. Performance wise it is just eh but you get to know your players I suppose lol. Like Jackson :-* I love the guy

[chrisuzz]

i dont want to sell any of my players :(

ive gone with the tactic from the start 8)

[chrisuzz]

End of over 34 (11 runs) - chrisuzz(153-5) RR 4.50
C. Williams 34 (41b) , M. Batty 13 (13b) , M. Chan 5-0-30-0

Starting to get out in front :)

[chrisuzz]

End of over 40 (10 runs) - chrisuzz(203-7) RR 5.08
M. Ali 7 (6b) , C. Williams 69 (64b) , M. Chan 8-0-53-1

Should be able to defend this on the green wicket. Seeing as 4/5 of my bowlers are mediums.

[chrisuzz]

End of over 1 (maiden) - Valkorum(0-0). 204 runs required from 39 overs. RR 0.00 RRR 5.23
S. Ibraheem 0 (6b) , C. Spence 0 (0b) , C. Josephs 1-1-0-0

first over lol :)

[Fletch74]

End of over 27 (2 runs) - Fletch's No Balls(101-6). 76 runs required from 13 overs. RR 3.74 RRR 5.85
K. Azam 6 (7b) , O. Murray 4 (6b) , M. Conroy 6-0-23-0

My batsmen are just not cutting it in Youths ATM. Chasing 177 on a Slow wicket. I need to buy a young batsmen, but I don't have the $$$ :-\

[CrowsFan]

My game is going to be surprisingly closer than I thought it would be considering I am up against the third best youth team in Scotland!

End of over 34 (5 runs) - Toy Dolls(193-4). 47 runs required from 6 overs. RR 5.68 RRR 7.83
J. Abel 68 (68b) , K. Choudhary 32 (36b) , R. Maloney 5-0-14-1

Can't believe I am actually a chance of winning this. The pitch is dry so favours spinners and my final 2 bowlers are both finger spinners with the old ball bowler talent. Will probably still lose, but very impressed with the effort :)

Sweet CF. Could cause the MASSIVE Upset!!!

I've pretty much won my game since earlier on. But nobody cares about Youths (or not many) :(.

[CrowsFan]

End of over 38 (7 runs) - Toy Dolls(222-5). 18 runs required from 2 overs. RR 5.84 RRR 9.00
G. Boyd 5 (5b) , J. Abel 81 (77b) , R. Maloney 7-0-30-1

Looked like it was going to be an upset, especially when they only scored 3 runs from the first 2 balls, then I picked up 2 wickets with the next 2 balls meaning they required 15 runs from 8 balls. But then this happened...  :'(

38.5   4   van der Hoeven to Curvers : Short of a length outside the off and pulled hard to the midwicket fence. The crowds burst out in chants, claps and drumbeats!

38.6   6   van der Hoeven to Curvers : A rank log hop. Despatched over long off for six.

End of over 39 (13 runs) - Toy Dolls(235-7). 5 runs required from 1 overs. RR 6.03 RRR 5.00
C. Curvers 10 (2b) , J. Abel 82 (78b) , J. van der Hoeven 8-0-66-3

[Justin Bieber]

Ouch :'(. IT"S STILL POSSIBLE!!!!

[CrowsFan]

Toy Dolls won by 3 wickets :(

They got the runs with a ball to spare...

[Fletch74]

Well I needed 26 from 2 overs and ended up losing by 5 runs, with 9 down. My bowlers are better at batting than my batsmen :-\

Batting a real strong point for me :). Currie got MotM with his first 100 of the season while Scott picked up 3/13 from his 8 overs (Medium on a green pitch). Casper needs to find form :'(. He gets wickets but always conceeds :-\.

[CrowsFan]

Nice win there HP, and unlucky fletch. You will get him next time ;)
