Won't be interesting to see where I rate. Didn't check back in time to see if you had accepted it, so don't have a proper team playing :(

Damn! Do you want me to challenge you again for another day?  :)

Ok set orders this time. Clearly have no chance, as you will still be outrating me by about 45k, but will be fun to see how close I can get!

I. Stewart 1-0-8-0, J. Santharam 19 (27b), O. Lalla 10 (8b)
End of over 21 (8 runs) - The Nailers(104-4). 210 runs required from 29 overs. RR 4.95 RRR 7.24

Playing myself again in the 78th match between my main and affiliate.

On a flat, so yes big scores. Though even on flats super dooper tons do happen, but I was still impressed by my newest player and captain for my affiliate.

He opened the batting and scored a very impressive 177* (142) - what a way to guide the innings from start to finish. Making it very difficult for my main to win.

Playing with myself again for the 78th time.

Not going to go in full strength, hopefully we'll be a bit closer this time.:)
Happy to see 175 with the U22 squad, decent improvement on the last time we played.

So got spanked, which was not unexpected. Bowled first on a green and Sid smashed out 5 for 329. Thought I was in with a chance when I had them 5 for 171, but an unbeaten 158 run partnership ruined that! In response we could only muster up 192 before being bowled out in 43 overs.

Youths rated 90k today in a win which puts me right back into contention for promotion. (A game off 1st however I still have to play them and I have a huge NRR) And my U18s rated 77k vs chrisuzz on the weekend, pretty happy with that. Only trouble is I currently only have 5 U18 bowlers, so I need to start getting some good YPs or find some bargains. :\

Might get triple promotion this season lol.

Was apprehensive going in to tonights youth game since I was missing 7 players who were away on nat duty and I was playing against BP. Bowled first on a cloudy/green and kept them to 8 for 169, which I was very happy about since I was missing 4 of my first choice bowlers and had to resort to playing 1 pure bowler and 4 all rounders. Then managed to chase down the target with 2 overs to spare to win by 6 wickets. Ambrose Hamilton the man of the match taking 1 for 31 with the ball and scoring an unbeaten 89 with the bat.

7 players missing and still rate that high! :o

So with 6 games to go I am 3 games clear of second place. Feeling pretty good right about now :)

Congrats CF, youve for sure got it from here! Ive struggled this season dealing with fatigue and am not performing to my sides potential, next season i hope to be in your position with a strong side!  :) Tomorrow i will see how my strongest U18 side goes against Cyrus and with a cap/reas batsman at number 8 i look forward to big things!

Not bad on a Slow, didn't set orders   :-\

Rather than chase a PC with my affiliate team, would anyone be interested in actually building a FanFooty team?

I mean, I've seen plenty of threads about FanFooty's best this player and best that player, but how about we actually build one?

'Someone else, someone else' (gratuitous Simspons reference) can do the scouting or the thread that picks the players but I'll put up the coin of my 10million+, once people have decided on a team of those they are prepared to put up for trade and the consensus of members believes is worthy.

Is ten million enough or would you like me to wait a season or two?

Players should be listed with an agreed listed value and I'll open the bidding on each. The market could take over and outbid me and that still becomes a win for that FanFooty member.

Thoughts?

How long did it take you to get to that bank account?

How long did it take you to get to that bank account?

18 months of neglect  ;)

I have deliberately never put a single dollar into academies (strangely I have had moderate pop success  :o)

Despite this neglect, I was able to comfortably hold division position in Canada (even promoted in Youth) and sell off the odd Youth pull.

Now I'm in Australia and I'd like to shake things up a little.
