Playing my first competitive game now. I must say, this commentary is gold.

Lloyd to Gray : A rather innocuous delivery there from Lloyd strikes the pad and the umpires finger goes up with the appeal. Gray seems to be channeling his inner Watson as he signals for a review. Scotney comments "it's park cricket champ, there's no DRS here".R. Gray lbw b. D. Lloyd 12 (13b 1x4 0x6) SR:92.31

Some of these commentary lines are so funny, they get me every time.

"Where do spots go for a dance. A dot ball"
Ha. Ha. Ha.

1 over gone in my match against KCN... 1/1 and the first ball was a dropped catch.  :-[

I'm batting btw.

[BratPack]

I feel sorry for you for having 3 wrist spinners. Not.

I need to buy one, mine will be 29 next season.

I just bought mine off Valk when I needed one  :P

You don't know what wrecked is until you get a top 100 seed in the Pav Cup. :P

That isn't too bad, but then again my team could be top 100 if I didn't need to rest my players >:(. But if KC/Richie get them, best of luck to them ;D.

[BratPack]

Ironically I'm probably going to be a top 100 seed in the Pav Cup next season  :P I'm currently Ranked 63 in SOD.

Oh and for those who didn't go into the new Pops and Plops thread I'll mention it here too. Bruin now has Elite Experience at 24  :P

[AFEV]

100 isn't that bad now, I'll be there too next season, but we've been playing 4+ years.
And not bad BP, Raph Clarke was similar and had legendary at 25. ;)

I'm 35 in the world, somehow.


I definitely spend too much time playing this game, I think part of my dream last involved my main playing my affiliate in the Pav Cup final

I wonder when the first affiliate to make the final will be. I would expect it is still a lot of seasons away, particularly because (in my experience) affiliate's get less love from managers than mains and are mostly just little pet projects.

C. Faker (rws) 10-0-38-2, S. Haider 14 (19b)
End of over 49 (3 runs) - Inbetweeners(152-10) RR 3.10

My most important SOD game for the season/career here. Sticky/windy, I am semi confident I can chase that with my deeeeep batting line-up.

And I'm up against the highest rating manager in Sri Lanka next week. If I ever needed to bring out my best tactics, this is the time. Granted last season I was in the same position, had to win to stay up, and got there. :\ Ratings were 2nd worst in the league today, but I rated 228k...

Hoping cheltenham doesn't buy a 3rd spinner and I can take him 3 vs 2 on a Dry.

[AFEV]

To be fair you could lose and stay up. :P
