[chrisuzz]

ah well i did it haha!!

I just said you can believe me if you like its up to you :P

[CrowsFan]

Has anyone ever PMed their opponent telling them that they are gonna throw the game for experience and to rest up players and that the should bowl first to save exp etc.
??

Yeah I've done it before for my PC games. Set the pitch to sticky, let the other team know I'm playing my youths and they should bowl first and we are all happy about it, since we both save on fatigue :)

I normally tell them so they can save fatigue and the net run rate hit for me is less

Can you explain how it will be less?? As far as i know it'll be the same regardless, if not more by the quicker game.

They play a weaker side, due to knowing that cookie is playing a weaker side therefore not getting thumped by as much... ;)

Went from 3 for 203 to 7 for 211 on a hard pitch against a team who rated just under 80k last week ::)

End of over 33 (7 runs) - The Matchbox Matadors(229-7) RR 6.94
W. Serjeant 7 (11b) , A. Snijman 15 (16b) , R. Bell 5-0-34-1

This is so flowered >:(

[Cookie311993]

From my experiences PB they have played a weaker side and my youths have been able to keep the match rather close

Ok, thanks Zz, I won't have Seinfeld next week as he's touring. It will give me a chance to play some of my 16yo's. I hope you're not bluffing, as I still need the win to promote despite being a game and NRR clear.
