FanFooty Championship Season 1

[Master Q]

Fletch has a strong tail for the ages of his players do you have a genuine all-rounder Fletch?

No, no AR Cookie, just Jhappan who has avg batting, then 3 poor's.

@Q - you're right, but just couldn't understand that I had 37 fielding checks to your 25. If you'd had the same I might have won.

True, but like I said earlier that's batting is all that matters on a Flat, which really annoys me even though I won. IMHO it's different to a Crumbler as not all bowlers take wickets and good batsmen can survive, where as on a Flat batsmen make a ton of runs no matter what...

[Fletch74]

I diagree, good bowlers should do what you said on crumblers but in reverse...

Those are impressive tail ratings then fletch. Are you on the lookout for an all-rounder?

No, I try not to use the TM. I have an 18 yo coming through. I try to grow all my players from my YA.

[Cookie311993]

That's s good plan to have fletch. Do you purchase youth players as well?

I inevitably will have to at times, but I try not to. I will have to buy a new spinner soon for my seniors as Jhappan is 28yo.

Well looks like I'm getting relegated to division 2 then. With 1 game to go I am a win behind Q. I play top spot HP, whilst he plays the semi bot Sid and so will get a win, so doesn't even matter if I get the upset. If only I had beaten Q in the first round, then I would have been safe :(

Oh well, probably for the best since I will be starting a rebuild next season so would have been relegated next season anyway...

And as I haven't rested alot for others, can't really do it this week :P.

For next season if this runs, I'm going to play a less than Starting XI for me, as to make it a bit more even with some of the other guys (As think the next best in the league is mid 180k ratings). Don't like just big wins every round :(.

Haha wasn't asking you to HP. Although I do have an interesting proposal...

We play a youth match instead of seniors :P

B. Peden 11 (21b) , G. Tonge 44 (72b) , M. Shaw 3-0-14-0

Not sure why i only played the one spinner.... Dorenagama 4 wickets, hopefully it means he'll be the leading wicket-taker. Very nervous 58 runs these will be. :-X

I think a lot of people will be setting their sights for Frankie Edgar.

Because of the demand of him a person will probably need 3 Mill for him.  :-X Ax will have a big chance of getting him if he wants I reckon.

[valkorum]

Then again he may not get sold - depends what Jamillar wants to do

[PowerBug]

37.1 2 Shaw to Tonge : [misfield] Plumpton has made a complete mess of a fairly regulation stop at mid off.

And that'll do it. :D
