against bots it is best to bat first just to smash shower loads of runs

[Nails]

End of over 12 (maiden) - Reviver(26-10) RR 2.17
K. Mashud 0 (2b) , B. Maddox 3.4-0-7-2

Ud-Din was the pick of the bowlers... 2-2-0-4

Not a single run hit off his bowling :)

Shame we bowled them out before he could get another spell for the 5 for.

First FF clash of the season for me, up against Maca, Will be both an interesting and a close game :)

Maca, have you done any improving to your side by the way?? My side has been weakend ;)

My side is alot weaker ZZ  ;) Good news for you.
Im hoping I will rate 165k though.

Thats still more than me im only thinking 150-160k ratings for me

Thats still winnable for you then. Now im thinking it will be really close!  :)

Flat works alright for me, wouldnt have minded a green, but yeh ;) it will tough league we got there too!

Yeh Flat worked for me last season in T20 so I decided to keep it. Helps out my weaker batting lineup.
Very tough league. We will both probably demote.

If you guys will demote, then I will finish last. This is an extremely tough league.

Should I bat first against weaker opposition like Bot teams? So that all my players can get a run and get their form boosted...

I chose to bowl in this match and Ud-Din is in form...

Ud-Din 2-2-0-4

I personally choose to bowl first against bots.  Normally you can rip through their lineup and then you dont have to chase much.  You get less of a fatigue hit.

A bot bash is always fun, but I agree with you Valk, fatigue is very important.

[cookie311993]

it will be good for your gate takings an easy win and supporter base. More so base. Saves you fatigue of an upset in PC. I think you can cause an upset nails. Alot of the stronger teams are arrogant pricks and will play a weaker side for exp against you then get beaten

How fast should the form of my players improve? Like can they go from reas-rel in one week?


Thanks Zz :)

[Fletch74]

No, they can only increase at 1 level, but you might only get a few change this week.

I agree that a bot bash is fun (at the time) but when your team has 3 or 4 players not able to play due to fatigue then the bot bash wasnt as much fun as you first thought.

First of all, form is not lined with how well your guy plays, rather the other way around. So in good form he'll play a bit better.
Players get form through playing games, not how well they play. Last season had twin ducks and he went up to reliable form :P

Bat if you want some fun, bowl if you're in a tough league where you need to field a full strength side later on.

[CrowsFan]

I agree with both the guys saying against bots bat first and the guys saying bowl first and here is why. In T20's I like to bat first against the bots so I can smash out lots of runs and have some fun, but in SOD matches when it is meant to be much longer I prefer to bowl first so I can get them out quickly, thus saving fatigue since SOD matches use up the most fatigue since they are longest :)

[cookie311993]

hopefully i can get close to 11k supporters through the gates today last season against this team i got 10.5k

The fact that it is Ash selling him may have pushed him up? Great played but I wouldn't spend that much :x
