Keepin' him?

Won against a II team in the cup. Had two guys go for 141 and 142, and one of my bowlers got six wickets on my way to getting them all out. I have one of the best team's in SL next week (according to a prediction), so I'll probably TIE that after my GFI in the league match against the only undefeated team.

My series is proving pretty difficult. There's four teams all with a shot at promotion.

Still, making the round of 16 in the cup is a pretty good accomplishment. And I also had my first sellout today:)

close match for me. i batted first:

End of Over 36: 185-2, runrate=5.14, reqrunrate=5.86 (266-5)
Bunn 8-0-56-0
Bryan* 34 (51 balls)
Softley 94 (94 balls)

[Helghallen]

Lost in the Cup. Was chasing a 340 and was TIE anyway.

Oh well. As for my YP I think I'm going to see if anything pops this week and go from there.

[Bluto11]

i'm going to lost this one:

End of Over 45: 245-4, runrate=5.44, reqrunrate=4.40 (266-5)
Owen 8-0-54-1
Bryan* 66 (75 balls)
Belle 15 (12 balls)

I've won 10 competitive matches in a row.

My first pull with a proficient YS was a batsman with better bowling than batting, I'll list him for 0.:

I'm at 7, but I'll hit the wall next Sunday.

[Bluto11]

question, say I'm playing the guy in first place in my series, who is really good or i'm playing a really good team in the cup and know I'm going to lose. Should I just play TIE, take the loss, and have my fitness level go up? seems like a good idea to me. I've resigned to the fact that I'm going to go back down this season, I might as well have my players be fresh for some of hte games they might be able to win.

romagol10, the most i've won in a row was 15! It got me promoted and got me in over my head in level II!!

I'm going to do that in the cup next week, it's actually a pretty good idea if you know you're going to lose and don't mind getting blown out.

i've got no problem getting blown out. If I'm going to get blown out playing as normal, i might as well play TIE so my fitness level goes up and I can GFI in a different match

[PirateJohn]

Whoa! I just had a player jump from a BT rating of about 3,200 to over 5,000 during this update. And he was my 17 y.o. youth pull from last week, too.

[Craig P]

From the department of "wow", consider this:

* My match was against a team that promoted out of our series last season. I scored a 250-run win. :eek: How the mighty have fallen...

* Check out these ratings: Top order - quality - Middle order - competent - seam bowling - strong. Um, wow. :eek:

MOTM is Jamie Newsome, with five wickets taken and 13 runs conceded.

In the cup I put up 301 against a D II team on the strength of 129 by Wilkey and had 2 trainees help by scoring 40s one of them getting 42 not out after 21 balls :eek:

They started well in reply, but slowly and eventually they had too many risks to take and we bowled them out for 226 w/ Love and Dushantha getting 5 and 3 wickets respectively.

My match ratings were my best ever for bowling.

Here's my latest pull... not too shabby... listed for 10K that's too much, but I want to see if someone will bite... if not will relist for 5k... I just don't have the space to train him.

19 year old popped to strong batting!!!

i got a few stamina pops, including my youth pull from last week. sweet!

[kopiteinkc]

One batting pop and two or three "mental" pops (consistency and concentration)

[Craig P]

I had one batting pop (to mediocre, I'm training him because he also has WK and fielding skills) and one stamina pop (by my strong/superb batsman). Form was more positive than negative, as most of the increases went to starters and most of the decreases went to the bench.

Does anybody remember the correct percentages for seating allocation in ground upgrades?

that tool helps with stadium expansions. I can't remember the exact percentages off the top of my head, but you should be able to figure them out with the above link

[Craig P]

No figuring required, it says it right on the page. :p

Asgard is now undergoing an expansion from 7,200 to 10,500 seats. We'll still be 500 of the cheapest seats off of the ideal ratio.
