Battrick thread, Part IV

[kopiteinkc]

My YP is already upto $400K :)

[AAGunner3]

I'm not sure if there's anybody else I'm looking for in the Windies?

? You mean from BS still in the cup?

[Craig P]

Yes, that was what I meant.

[romagol10]

Yes, that was what I meant.
I'm still in the cup after a close 307/2 - 306/4 win. I believe I'll have a home match next week.

[kopiteinkc]

In two weeks time I plan to start the BS Battrick Cup, if anyone is still in their national country's cup then I will reconfigure the tourney to accomodate.

Just to confirm, the Battrick Cup starting date will be Sunday November 13. So after next Sunday hold off until I post who your opponent is.

[Bluto11]

training for the Windies is done:

+4/-1 on form

wicketkeeper popped to competant (he's 23, took about 7 weeks, not sure if I'll keep taking up the spot). he also popped to competent conc, so he's respectable/competent. The only other pop I had was stamina for my new youth pull (worthless to abysmal). However, his BT rating jumped about 1,800 points! I also had another player who's BT rating jumped 900 (with no pops just a change in form)

[johno]

Form was decent... (don't have a tool for BT yet) but no pops although 2 players had nice BTR jumps.

[AAGunner3]

Good week overall for the Mosquitos

+3/-6 form
2 Stamina pops
2 Concentratoin pops
1 WK pop
1 Consistency pop

None of the three BS Cup squads still in the Windies cup look to be matched up against each other. The tentative draw sees:

11 winningconnection hosts 6 Rovers Town
7 Los Burritos at 10 Shadoedale CC
9 Norse AC hosts 8 Knuckleheads

(seeds are among remaining teams, bold is favored based on previous round ratings)

Oddly enough, a win could see Norse on the road for round 7 after hosting for three straight weeks. :eek:

[Craig P]

In training, Sulieman Seargeant popped to quality concentration, to go along with his strong batting.

[Craig P]

Incidentally... I'm still at energetic this week after playing normal in the cup and TIE in league. It looks to me as though a normal/TIE pairing like that results in fitness gradually going up, i.e. we make up more from the TIE than we give up due to normal leakage during the week. My ratings are going to be sick when I finally spend that in a GFI.

I'm jealous...

do you have stats for him? I'm just wondering what kind of scores that type of batsman is capable of... also, what's his stamina?


I'd be happy w/ that draw if that were the case and I'd like my chances to go to the next round, but I won't GFI, the other teams still left in the Cup are too good and I'd rather use my fitness levels for promotion.

[Bluto11]

i have a feeling i'm going to get smoked on friday. playing the 2nd place team in my series. If I GFI I might haev a chance, that is if he decides to play TIE so he can play GFI in the cup. However, this is a real outside chance and will put my fitness level down to "low" with a match against the 1st place team the following week. I'm actually thinking of playing TIE so I can get my fitness levels up even more and will be able to GFI more in the second half of the season.

You're kidding me. I still don't get a home match?! ugh, this does not look good for my finances as my next 3 league games are away.

His stamina is currently at mediocre, undergoing training. Partway trained at strong batting, current BT rating is 24,620

His stat line for the season looks like...
10 MP
1080 runs
4 not out
109.42 SR
177 high score

Against non-bot opposition this season...
122/117 against Trini Devilz 11 in cup round 2
91/104 against Cumberland in league round 1
143/139 not out against Avalon Angels in cup round 3
161/144 not out against Koivukylän pyllistys in league round 3 (not a bot, but not very good)
90/80 in the cup last week (bot now, but I think not then considering his total)
177/124 in the cup yesterday (surprising to me because I slaughtered a bunch of bowlers who were all in good form and carrying a decent economy rate)

[Craig P]

You're kidding me. I still don't get a home match?! ugh, this does not look good for my finances as my next 3 league games are away.There were a ridiculous number of upsets, but given the discussion in sledging that shouldn't be a huge surprise. Clearly, fitness is having a huge effect, which is a big benefit to the lower-seeded teams in III playing the higher-seeded teams in II.
