Thanks for the tips lads. I will train up those secondary skills as well especially endurance and fielding.

I'm guessing the huge win is due to me starting in the lowest division against a few inactive spuds.

I can't fire Bromburg and Evan yet as i only have 12 players in my senior squad. Or can I?

Nails been closer to winning senior division one than powerbug.  Nails is boss

How close have you gotten? Because I have a chance of taking a Div 1 title this season :) Albeit with some pretty flukey luck, the top side is an affiliate team which apparently expires in a few days. I'm two matches behind him and with similar NRR, so I'd overtake if I win the last two matches and he loses :D

The teams which are grey, are computer controlled, or "bots" as you'll commonly hear them referred to as. Basically they are an auto-win, but a few of us (me included) have managed to completely stuff it up and lose to a bot.


Bromburg and Evan are in your youth squad, and you have 16 of them, so yes you can fire them :)

This match decides who will win the division. Going well until I lost Harris, then the 20th over happened. Boundary Hitter is the best :D

My OD league will be by far the closest finish I've ever had in over 4 years of playing this game.
Currently there are 5 teams tied for first position! All of these 5 teams boast a record of 8-4, and NRR ranging from 0.5-1.2.

I am currently sitting 1st with a .16 NRR advantage over the second team, and .19 over third.

In the final two weeks I'll play 2nd and 5th, if I win both I am confident I can hold my NRR advantage and finally promote to D1 OD. :) About time.

Unfortunately 12 wins and a draw will see me finish second in T20 *sigh*.

Ok so I have once again missed out on promotion to div 1 in Netherlands with my affiliate squad. The team runs out in just under 20 days and I can't be bothered extending it, so I'll be selling all the players.

If there is anyone that you are particularly interested in I can list them at a requested time, otherwise I'm just going to list them in the next day or so...

I think you'll find you can't list them if your affiliate has under 1 month to expiry.



12 wins a draw! shower that's unlucky

I hate that you can't list when your affiliate is set to expire. I understand why you wouldn't be able to with under 3 days left, but aside from that it is only going to cause NAT players to be lost to affiliates that aren't renewed, and serve no other real purpose that I can see.

And yeah, at SOS I thought 12 wins would promote me, but nope, other guy will finish 13 wins and a draw, behind me on NRR too, so I was basically 1 run from promotion.

[PowerBug]

Yeah not sure what the reason is behind that, I'm fairly sure it's a month, could be wrong though.


Well that just sucks then :(

[AFEV]

It is a month, I've renewed my affiliate the last two years purely to preserve UAE players... :P

[CrowsFan]

Well just listed Bandula Harding, so looks like I still can.

So if any of you want a specific player let me know and I will list them...

[PowerBug]

Good man, list the Sri Lankan whilst you can :D

You find some interesting stuff when sifting through old threads. This is kinda relevant:

There are 2 rules you should know at this point

1) Have Fun
2) Don't listen to anything Nails has to say  :P

A sub clause of rule 2 is
2.1) especially when it comes to him trying to sell you his players

This came from Torp's introduction thread lol

I've followed those rules so far,  :P

Certainly tough not to have fun in this game! Although it can be frustrating when not winning. Did you end up winning the important SOD game on Friday?
