Title: Battrick BT20 Post by: vegaslover on March 13, 2008, 11:56:04 PM Ok guys, whats the tactics for these, apart from remembering to log in everyday?
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Ironside on March 14, 2008, 12:13:09 AM tactics rotate squad so you dont lose PFL for league matches next week
most of us wont stand a chance of getting through to the knockout stage and there isnt much point as the gate money is pitifull about the same as a friendly Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: vegaslover on March 14, 2008, 12:20:25 AM okay cheers
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 14, 2008, 01:20:58 AM Or as in my case. Play my reserves in every game. maybe give my full strength side one run out!!
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Bongo on March 14, 2008, 01:51:53 PM My plan is:
Play first team as much as possible while ensuring they are at sublime PFL for the start of the FC game. My non first team trainee will play every game. BT20 gives decent experience so I'd like to maximise my gains. I don't care about the result at all. If enough of us don't get through to the knockout stages we can have a blonde BT20 cup in the off season. Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: vegaslover on March 14, 2008, 09:27:52 PM looking at my group i got 2 easy games and 2 ridic hard games, will just rotate squad dependant on fitness, bar my squad players who will play every game.
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 15, 2008, 02:31:43 PM I lost. Oh well! haha
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: vegaslover on March 15, 2008, 02:36:33 PM won my 1st. scored 218-2
got them all out for 160 odd my poorest bowler got 4 for 27 Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Bongo on March 15, 2008, 02:51:43 PM I won, despite forgetting to set my team.
1 opener got a golden duck, the other hit 100 off 40 balls! Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Ironside on March 15, 2008, 06:20:04 PM my 2nd team lost to the best team in the league while on TIE
now i am going to pace it to win my remaining matches Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: divaflava on March 17, 2008, 12:29:29 AM I've got a chance of qualifying, so will be playing to win. Slightly concerned that I have the crunch first vs second OD match and a tough FC game next week.
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Bongo on March 17, 2008, 12:38:50 AM I'd rather play BT20 against my mates for the same cash and lower PFL hits.
Although it does seem to give decent XP gains, which is a decent plus I guess ;) Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: vegaslover on March 17, 2008, 10:50:53 AM would rather not play them at all, only getting 2k income a game!!!
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Bongo on March 17, 2008, 02:39:39 PM My trainee popped in experience after todays game.
He scored 5 from 4 balls then conceded 12 from 5 balls. Think it's my second XP pop of the tournament. Still rather happy with that! He's 17 and has better XP than the 19 and 20yos I have now! ;) Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 17, 2008, 02:43:47 PM I lost again. Shame. A useful 88 in 59 balls from one of my bats not enough when playing 5 useless bowlers :)
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: vegaslover on March 17, 2008, 02:44:46 PM not had any experience pops yet
Somehow managed to lose in last over after posting 219 Forgetting to pick a team and having batters as bowlers probably didn't help...lol Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Newportlad on March 17, 2008, 06:57:27 PM Played 2 won 2.
Have a pretty straight forward game tomorrow as well, so its looking surprisingly good. Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Ironside on March 17, 2008, 07:15:44 PM won agaist the 2nd best team in league today they had PFL problems
hopefully be able toget through the rest couple of close games ahead though Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 17, 2008, 07:24:36 PM whilst having a bit of time, actually looked at my opponents. Every one of them has a better squad than me. Quite glad to be playing my reserves :)
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Nakor on March 17, 2008, 08:20:12 PM Think I found a batting pitch today;
Me 225/0 Him 209/1 A win - a bit of form ready for Thursday maybe. Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: vegaslover on March 17, 2008, 10:36:40 PM My next 2 games are against players with 50k players...wtf
Am away for 3 days so have put my worst 11 players in and TIE. Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 18, 2008, 02:56:53 PM lost again. 45 AO, knocked off for 0 wickets in 4 n half overs. Enjoying this, despite getting whooped!!
got 6 of my 1st teamers back to sublime, 4 on energetic, 1 on invigorated, and my 2 heavy netted all rounders still suffering! Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Bongo on March 19, 2008, 11:26:41 AM End of Over 14: 142-2, runrate=10.14
I'm batting. Playing 5 worthless players and whoever was on Sublime, on TIE too. I could win one here! Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Bazzaboy on March 19, 2008, 03:08:39 PM I forgot to set my match orders last night so my default lineup played which included my first choice bowlers who are struggling with PFL :(. I also got hammered.
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Tractor on March 19, 2008, 04:34:03 PM ive won them all so far, nice easy group, playing my second squad in the next few and hope to win them all.
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Ironside on March 19, 2008, 06:01:25 PM i won again today with 2nd team out
tomorrow is make or break for me if i win i get 2nd in group if i lose i get 3rd have the first team out on his uneven pitch i have better batting and seam bowling than him he has better spin than i do (i aint playing a spinner) Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 19, 2008, 06:07:02 PM Lost again. this losing fast is doing wonders for my PFL. Just 4 players in my squad not on sublime. ( should be just 2 by the end of the week)
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Newportlad on March 19, 2008, 07:24:12 PM Won my top of the table enounter today vs a far superior team (He has a player with 146K rating FFS)
So 4 out of 4 now, and i've played the harder teams in the league. Should be able to play the 2nd team from now on and still get through. I've now won my last 18 games in all competitions (not including friendlies). Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: Ironside on March 27, 2008, 07:33:33 AM i made it through in 2nd
Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: divaflava on March 27, 2008, 04:18:08 PM i made it through in 2nd same here, oh hang on, I was top on n.r.r Title: Re: Battrick BT20 Post by: amcgrath1uk on March 27, 2008, 10:33:39 PM I lost every game :)
