Time for greater things: 16shes, Nails vs PowerBug

PowerBug · May 31, 2014, 01:32:08 PM

To break away from the normal, this season will be a 16shes competition, two on each pitch type. The catch, we each get to pick the weather for 8 matches, one on each pitch.

Both of our teams are in Division 1, Nails for his first season, me for my 3rd consecutive season. Ratings right now favour Nails greatly, but with a mostly new squad, will the tactics hold up? They didn't last season as I took 5 of the 8 matches despite being outrated heavily.

The first match will be scheduled for the 12th June.

Nails' home matches:
Dry/Windy The Nailers won by 23
Crumbling/Windy PowerBugCC won by 36 runs
Uneven/Windy The Nailers won by 58 runs
Slow/Hot The Nailers won by 2 wickets
Hard/Hot The Nailers won by 6 wickets
Flat/Sunny The Nailers won by 94 runs
Sticky
Green

PowerBug's home matches:
Dry/Cloudy The Nailers won by 106 runs
Crumbling/Cloudy The Nailers won by 6 wickets
Uneven/Humid The Nailers won by 5 wickets
Slow/Humid PowerBugCC won by 4 runs
Hard/Humid The Nailers won by 5 wickets
Flat/Hot PowerBugCC won by 3 wickets
Sticky/Sunny PowerBugCC won by 6 wickets.
Green

The Nailers lead the 16 match series 9-4.

I feel sorry for PB. I start destroying him in less than 2 hours :(

We might have to have similar type rivalry Nails since we are both doing a similar rebuild at the same time.

Nails · June 12, 2014, 02:24:42 PM

Do you have more money doe? I've probably screwed myself. All the players I want are I'm getting outbid on and IDK if they're worth going further so I let them go.

Good thing my best batter is still in.

You win i think.

Nails · June 12, 2014, 05:48:42 PM

I also feel that way. McLoughlin to back up his 13* with a 5fer.

PowerBug · June 12, 2014, 06:22:09 PM

Idk who some of your team members are, so my players obviously will get out to them because they've never seen them bowl before.

Result: The Nailers won by 23 runs

Not owning a proper all rounder hurt. That's 1-0 to Nails, and that weather selection was also chosen by Nails, so an expected victory for him. 16th June will be the return Dry leg, with Cloudy weather this time. :)

I think this series will be a good one, that was a tight first match.

PowerBug · June 18, 2014, 05:38:10 PM

Yeah Nails is 2-0 up now on the return Dry leg. :'(

I got wrecked.

PB wins, 16shes over.
