Early money on KC Hammers, Banagher Knights would probably be second favourite right now.

After that it's a crap shoot.

Yeah - I get pulled into the group with the projected winner

[Bluto11]

I don't know about that... I've got a pretty strong team right now... last season I was very weak in the bowling department w/ only 2 decent bowlers... now I've got 5 quality bowlers so I should be more competitive. Last year my batsmen won most of my matches, but I've gained balance and I've got matchwinners on both sides of the ball.

KC Hammers (Cain) did tell me you were the toughest team he faced in the BS Battrick Cup last season, so you are now the joint second favourite!!

[Bluto11]

pfffft, johno's a walkover :p


i've got a better batting squad. my bowlers are pretty much the same, maybe a little worse because I sold a good one and bought an allrounder who is a better batsmen then bowler.

yeah we played a tough game... he beat me 349-319 but that was w/ these guys bowling...



Chambers 10 0 69 1 0 1

Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: woeful Concentration: feeble
Bowling: feeble Consistency: competent
Fielding: feeble


Drummond 10 0 86 1 1 1

Stamina: abysmal Wicket Keeping: woeful
Batting: proficient Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: feeble Consistency: respectable
Fielding: feeble


They've been replaced by a prof/woeful and a comp/feeble those two guys above gave up 155 runs by themselves and took 1 wk each... I'm figuring to get a whole lot more production out of my new bowlers.

never! that bowler I listed above Drummond? he's profficient/med batting/concentration and he can't fit into the first team

we had two good matches last year. One was a tie, only because your last two guys couldn't get one stinking run and I won the other one with you losing 7 wickets for only like 12 runs or something like that.

you'd kick my ass right now if you've got those guys on your bench!!

yeah, those friendlies were very interesting... they were almost UN-friendly... we've established some sort of rivalry. My players keep telling me they don't care if they win a trophy we just want to beat Wicketkeepers.

i'm getting a similar vein from my guys.

i think i'm going to tell them to use some Bodyline tactics :p

[ZeekLTK]

Good time for a bump. Can cup participants post whether they are currently still in their domestic cup or not?

I am still in, but maybe not for long.

[Bluto11]

i'm still in. I'm the higher seed this week, which means nothing, and I might even play "TIE"
