What are you currently rating ZZ?

[Justin Bieber]

If you want high rating youth teams this season and need numbers, I'll join :).

Rate about 109k when full strength so won't be a push over :P. Don't mind sitting out if there's not enough room though as I'm not as active as some others guys on here!

[Spinking]

Good stuff HP. Looks like we have enough to get a decent comp going.

I have set up the comp to be played on Saturdays. Head over to the friendly comp section and I'll approve those who have already expressed interest.

[chrisuzz]

ummmmmm im not 100 percent sure spin!

[Shaggy]

I will participate if its still open. Currently rate about 115-120k full strength and next season will drop to about 95-100k

I'm going to get crushed horribly next season! Got like half my first XI as 19 y.o's so it is going to be an uphill battle once we go into next season of matches!

Youth Comp underway today. So far Billy Goats CC and Norwood Redlegs have picked up wins, two very strong teams!

The other three games are all currently ongoing, all of them still in the first innings. :)
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/commentary.htm?gameId=2713906 - Hello vs Neutral Milk Hotel
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/commentary.htm?gameId=2713884 - DazBurg's Greatness vs PowerBugCC
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/game.htm?gameId=2713896 - Valkorum vs chrisuzz

[Justin Bieber]

Good match Alex, on a hard so could never rule you guys out until the last 2-3 overs!

Looking at ratings, CF isn't as big of a lock! Valk, ZZ and JB all rating pretty highly so could easily knock him off. Not to mention others around the 110k mark who can if they cause a few upsets :o.

Think the closest matches this round was Alex Vs I, Valk Vs ZZ, if anybody else would like to check them out :).

[DazBurg]

officially lowest rating side knew my youths would struggle
lol

[CrowsFan]

Agree HP that I'm not actually a lock for this. I think everyone just looks at the money I've spent and forget about the fact that they are still just 17, whereas everyone else is playing with 19 year olds who are on the same level/better than my guys.

Next weeks game against valk will be a tough one before he loses his current 19 year olds. Uneven pitch suits me well though since I can play with 2 FM's and a fasty, but then again I have enough bowlers to suit every pitch :) Just don't have a wristy :(

When it ticks over into next season, that's when you should come into your own

Yep, most of us have those 19 y.o's promoting, which is gonna sting alot to my team. If CF had lost the first two match, certainly would make it closer so lets hope Valk can top him next week :P.
