The Original 8shes, Nails vs PB. Series 3 over.

[AFEV]

Yeah, had nothing to do with PB tanking. :P

[Nails]

He wasn't, he likes to play his best team to the conditions.

PB is no hope now that we're off pitches where he can play 3 spinners.

[Torpedo10]

PB rated like 10k under normal  :P

You're right, now we are playing on the ones where i play 5 seamers. :) The ones which i prefer to play on because my spinners suck. :)


I knew yesterday was my weakest side, i don't have a very good combination for a Slow deck. :( Flat is the pitch which i play on the least, so tomorrow will be fun. :(


I wasn't tanking guys, Nails earnt that win. ;) ;)

[Nails]

Took a huge risk for this match...

Played our weakest lineup in ages, potentially weakest batting lineup...

Dropped the AR in favour of a pure bowler. That said the AR is close to the bowler in bowling abilities anyway

Figured we might not need the AR's batting abilities, turns out it's going to bite us in the arse by the looks of things.

S. Mukund 5-0-25-1, A. Bouchard 12 (15b), A. Gogler 13 (17b)
End of over 10 (7 runs) - The Nailers(43-2) RR 4.30

How our opener has only faced 15 deliveries I have no clue...

[Nails]

D. Oldfield 7-0-34-0, J. Santharam 73 (98b), M. Bryce 0 (6b)
End of over 44 (3 runs) - The Nailers(203-8) RR 4.61

This is the lowest point in the club's history

On a flat, had 2 guys reach 70 but everyone else absolutely useless. wtf.

[Nails]

BUT WAIT

V. Shah 1-0-5-2, P. Aronstam 3 (2b), S. Craig 2 (2b)
End of over 1 (5 runs) - PowerBugCC(5-2). 230 runs required from 49 overs. RR 5.00 RRR 4.69

Shah double strike in the opening over!

[Nails]

V. Shah 3-0-15-3, S. Watson 2 (2b), S. Craig 14 (13b)
End of over 5 (4 runs) - PowerBugCC(31-3). 204 runs required from 45 overs. RR 6.20 RRR 4.53

Wanna do a youth version of this Pb

Wanna do a youth version of this Pb

It's alot harder with youths, as it's difficult to have the right bowling types for every pitch. We mainly did this to prove that having a big squad with lesser talented players is better than having 12 guns and no variety from pitch to pitch. (Well Nails wanted to prove the opposite, and it's not working so far)

I suppose we could though, I'll accept matches :) I rate 85k atm with my youths.

[Nails]

I didn't really want to prove anything other than I'm gun.

[Nails]

and tbh if you do win I wouldn't really say it'd be due to bigger squad

more that your players are ready built

Yes slightly lesser prims but they have power and everything they need unlike my players

[PowerBug]

You're not proving that either. :P My 14 players players probably cost alot less than your 12, even with my $1million Zahra in there. :P

[PowerBug]

Locking in a win for me tomorrow already. My team won't stuff this up. 4-1 lead to me, Nails on the ropes.
