Battrick - free online cricket management game

[vegaslover]

played a poor team, which have recently taken on a human manager. Left a few players in. Ended up winning inside 2 days, but didn't get any batting points...lol

[vegaslover]

very late I know, but if anyone wants a friendly tomorrow then let me know or post challenge on battrick. Team name is butterpaws

OD..

Played a team I expected to have trouble beating, seeing as they have the capability of getting as good ratings as my lot do

Batted first, on a hard pitch, and lost an early wicket. This brought in Goodhead, who scored 141 from 128 deliveries, the 2nd wicket went down on 69, bringing in Birchall, who scored 112 from 90 deliveries. Some fireworks on the loss of those 2 ( 28 from 22 and 30 from 19) brought up a very respectable score of 360-4.

In reply, they were cruising ( all be it well behind the RRR) at 119-2, when my premier all rounder came on for his spell. Pickering ripped through the middle order, taking 4-24, in the end bowling them out for 184. Birchall taking 3 catches and a stumping.

Got my first proficient batting rating, quite pleased with the progress.

Next week I have a very easy BOT bash in FC, a BOT in OD my lot should beat, then the return easy BOT bash, then playing the top of the league, this time at home. Will be GFI'ing this time vs the super BOT, preparing a VERY green pitch to hopefully totally negate their awesome spin attack.

[vegaslover]

[pokerram]

already planning for the match with my ground and team selection.

He has a 100k rated spinner...

But know i'm going to be drawn in a group with King jon and Bongo in the Blonde Cup!

[vegaslover]

lol Asa, think i'll be getting the wooden spoon again. Sold my ground out again in 1 day will look to upgrade again

[amcgrath1uk]

naaa u won't

cpl of newer players i think..

added to that, I've got to upgrade mine soon. Pretty much sold out my 21k stadium on Friday.

[vegaslover]

got a friendly tomorrow against a guy who hasn't upgraded his 20k stadium in nearly 2 years!!!

[amcgrath1uk]

But before that I will have, in approx 3 weeks £1.5-£1.8m to spend on a spinner. what sort of level do people think I'll manage to get??

[pokerram]

older player yull get strong i reckon

[amcgrath1uk]

20/20 fixtures are up.

I have NO luck

Div 2/3 team as well as the Sky Blues, perennial OD Div I contenders.

Lucky here in one sense that no teams higher than V in my BT20 league.

However four of them have been around for over two years and have far superior squads to me.

Looking at a 3 win 4 loss BT20 for me I'd predict.

[Bongo]

Got my highest ever ratings today:

Bigglesthwaite CC
Top Order:    remarkable
Middle Order:    proficient
Lower Order:    abysmal
Seam Bowling:    remarkable
Spin Bowling:    quality
Fielding:    competent

Top order makes me laugh as my opener is a competent batter.

I lost too!

[Ironside]

i am leading the OD league at the break and 4th in the FC league


think the guy in 3rd should win the OD league

i got lucky against him in our first match

he "should" win all the remaining games and beat me by NRR
