I really didn't do anything different. Just tried out Charles at 4 and he did great. ::)

Hopefully he does better on Friday and maybe even Thursday against Daz.

Ouch.
Yavar has been in average form most of the season.

And now it gives me a challenge to face, my plan all along was if I got Millanta I would sell McLaughlin (Outs/Exp with crappy secondaries) and keep Hafeez (Exp/Exp with good secondaries) but with the form update McLaughlin now has an expert summary and Hafeez an accomplished. One of them will keep their spot in the XI, and I don't think I can afford an Accomplished summary in my middle order from a specialist batsman.

That being said, as soon as the form evens out I would prefer Hafeez, but the short
term fix seems to be McLaughlin. You may be think why don't you just keep both until form balances out, well Wages. If I get Millanta and don't sell anyone my wage will be over 106k...

Sell McLaughlin IMO. Form can't be the reason you sell/keep someone.

I did as I changed my captain for someone with the same captain skill, but a lot less experience. Won't be doing that again.

That's what I was thinking. I will sell him on Friday afternoon, so I get to play him on Friday and Sunday (important games) and still have his wage gone before the update :)

And then it is the end of the week and hopefully Hafeez has his form up.

J. Hogan 50 (24b), M. Pretty 123 (56b) , N. Jolly 4-0-57-0

Posted a big score. Pretty and Ingall dominated together with Ingall dropping for 77ish Hogan came in after Ingall went out and smashed it too. :D




3.3   W   Carter to Folkes : [catch] Wonderful delivery from Carter which moves away after pitching. Folkes looking to drive through the off side, not fully in position to drive, gets the edge through to Johnstone.
R. Folkes c J. Johnstone b. M. Carter 4 (5b 1x4 0x6) SR:80.00
3.4   W   Carter to Lydamore : [catch] Edged and out! Caught rather easily in the end. Johnstone moved slightly to his right and watched the ball drop nicely into his gloves.
G. Lydamore c J. Johnstone b. M. Carter 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00

Carter, my new Medium bowler spec/outs primaries started off fantastic for the Timber. Was on a hat-trick in his second over!! He also managed a run out and took a catch.

Rested my opener to give more experience to a youth player who has now played the past 4 games without a rest, but in the senior games doesn't actually do anything as it never gets down to him haha. Dyl has got a great top order looking at the ratings, but the rest is rubbish!

[Fletch74]

Well done Baz ;) I'm on the way up in T20 and Youths as well :)

doing okay but i tend to struggle to bowl on flat pitches

[Fletch74]

That's because it's a Flat pitch CJ. It's taylor made for batsmen..........

[Bazinga]

Well done Baz ;) I'm on the way up in T20 and Youths as well :)

Awesome Fletch  ;)  I'm currently 2nd in SOD but its close between 2nd 3rd and 4th. I play the guy thats 3rd in the last match so that could decide whether I promote or not.
Going to finish 5th or 6th in youths but no relegation this season  :P

[cookie311993]

good luck to all in their comps. i personally know i cannot win this season in any comp so will start playing different line-ups to try some things out

[Cicjose]

That's because it's a Flat pitch CJ. It's taylor made for batsmen..........

yeah i know but when their number five almost gets to 100 it makes me sad

[BratPack]

Simple proposition tonight. Win and secure promotion in Youth.

Yeah.....that's not going to happen  :(
