29/7 – Final Match One

[Jaztheman]

Cricketman, look at the fixtures thread, mate. We have no time at all to post it few days before, although I will make sure that the match thread will be up tonight.

There are still 2 games left. I even tried to ask Simon if you could play with same team as last game but he said rules are rules so sorry guys.

 

[Cricketman]

At least post the match thread for the next game now or something so that we at least have a chance to post an XI.

Or, I could PM one of the simmers with the XI and they could just use that.

What do you want to use the same team for the next two fixtures?

I am unhappy with that decision to be honest, lacks common sense to me. Saying that, the rule has lacked common sense to me the whole way through. When the opponents are asking for rule to ignored, you know it is one which is ruining the whole final.

Highway robbery. You cant expect me to score 100 to win games

 

[Highlander999]

Absolute bull (that isn't counting as an infraction btw). How the heck were our guys meant to realise the thread was up? This should be replayed with the thread actually being posted with at least 24 hours to spare. As Chez said, it lacked common sense

 

[shantanu_rooney]

Yup I agree with Tom and Chez . I think also this should be replayed . You cant have the game started 5 hrs after the thread being posted

At 11:00 AM IST I am in office and other guys are sleeping in North America.

What the ****? Let me see. We're sleeping soundly. You post the thread, while we're sleeping, yet we're magically supposed to realize the thread was posted and sleep walk down to the computer and post our line up.

Nice.

 

[Highlander999]

I say we do a Pakistan and not play in the final matches

If Simon allows it, I'll re-sim the match with Chennai giving me a side and pitch.

Was that post really needed, Tom?

I don't remember us ever quitting before the game started...

You might be setting a new record Tom.

 

[Simbazz]

I will consult with Manchester, Pal, apologies, its just the summer is here for us lucky Brits and everyones going away on thier holidays so its a tad cramped

 

[Kiko_97]

Personally I don't want a re sim but there's no I in Team so my decision is worthless.

I just wish the thread had been posted once the 3rd/4th and 5th/6th playoff matches were completed. I'm usually on PC a lot and I've been diligent (along with Cricketman) about posting teams at the right time and a convenient time for the opposition to respond with their teams. But, unfortunately, this match was put up at a time when it would have been impossible for both of us to even know that the thread was in existence, unless we had a dream that conveyed the fact to us and the time allotted, so that we could have forgone sleep for the day and sleep walked to the computer to put up the team. The clash of time zones is unfortunate, but it's not a reasonable excuse. I hope we will take the fair way out and re-sim this game.
