Cyrus · February 09, 2012, 01:30:42 PM

i will sacrifice T20 for a few rounds to get to round 3 as i just got lucky ;)
first round guy i play has gone BOT :P
Round 2 i play a guy i out rate by 25k or the #364 seed who has GONE BOT 8)
Round 3 i run into the #149 seed who rated 202k in he's T20 on Tuesday so thats where the youths will play in he's 16500 seat ground ;D
so i should fill my 7k ground first 2 games and get a nice pay day from he's home game round 3 :D
plus $10k for making round 3 money i sorely need :)

How do you know you'll play in his 16,500 seat stadium Cyrus? You might play in your measly 7,000 seat stadium... :P

he's in the bracket above me so he is the home team or is it random?

I play a guy rating 2k less than me in the first round. I've chosen a Hard pitch against him, whilst his batsmen are better than mine, my bowlers are decisively better than his, and that's why I'll win the match.

I was going to play Youths, but I need the money and I have no chance of staying up in Div 2 SOD this season, so I will give some of my Youth players experience there.

Rd 2, I will most likely play ML - he rates 11k more than me, but I'm confident I can knock him off ;D Then I would likely come up against the #127 seed, where I will also play Youths like Cyrus...

Good luck PB :D. I know how that first win is elusive!

Thanks, and had a look at the draw, if i somehow get to rd 4, it's ML. But i know that won't happen. ;D

I am attempting to throw my PC match, but still playing my best XI for experience purposes. Everyone (except my keeper) is bowling five overs and I am doing a reverse batting order on a sticky pitch and with aggro orders, in the hope of minimising fatigue.

No guarantee of losing though, as my opponent is ranked in the 1,900's.

Thinking of doing the same thing Baz, I could potentially get through to about round 4/5 but I did that last year and for the exp/little prizemoney it's really just not worth it IMO. I ended up really struggling for about 6 or 7 rounds of the regular season and that put me right down the ladder.
