Koop vs Nige - The Newbie Rivalry!

[KoopKicka]

PB v Nails, Torp v JB, they're both great FTP rivalries, but now, the arrival of the newest one, the Koop v Nige rivalry!

We are both relative newcomers to the FTP scene, both with developing squads, and hopefully this shows us how much improvement comes along with time, but more importantly, who is better! (me ;) )

Koops Smashers CC won by 29 runs (Humid/Flat)

Koops Smashers CC: 7/290

Let the record show Coop has in fact already admitted on a few occasions in recent days that I am in fact already better than him.  ;D

The 3 this year are my choice and at my home ground, next season Nige, then me, etc. You get the idea :)

Won't that make it a bit boring? Once your teams get stronger you'll dominate your pitches of choice.

Exactly, so Coop will have a challenge in getting his team right next season when I pick pitches.  ;)

[Nige]

So yeah, the game is tomorrow.

Koop bought one of my spinners, but the other two I have are better.  ;)

Gonna be interesting to see how he goes and if there's any love lost.  :P

[KoopKicka]

yeah Im settled on my lineup. Wonder if Nige has a few selection dilemma's :o
