On Hold Cricket Blast | Week 6 = halfway mark! Which manager/s can manage their squads right to the end?

[Verified Enigma]

Need to rethink on the team dynamics. A bad loss to be honest. Rohit back in form is a plus though.

 

[Yash.]

Our team is playing really well. Our four main pacers have done really really well so far.

STATS UPDATED

Taking Lineups for Week 4

Titans v All-Stars at Sharjah Cricket Stadium (Green) - @NePtuNe Gaming v @ddrap14
Injury: Doug Bollinger >> Fatigue (Titans)

Heat v Spartans at Sheikh Zayed Stadium (Dusty) - @Till Valhalla / @Yash. v @Mijurkat
Injuries: None

Thunder v Strikers at Dubai International Cricket Stadium (Balanced) - @PresidentEvil / @Parth D v @Manish. / @Ashutosh.
Injuries: None
​

Line-up rules
Mark a minimum of 5 x bowling options with
Have a capable keeper

Pitches explained:
Balanced pitches are hard and flat pitches. The aim is to have a pitch that offers assistance to the batsman and the bowlers.
Green pitches having green grass on it makes it less abrasive on the ball and helps the ball to swing easily. Along with swing, the bounce in these wickets is unpredictable. Even if these pitches seem to help the seam bowlers but serve absolutely nothing for a spinner.
Dusty/Dry pitches imply pitches which will begin to gradually turn a lot, thereby favoring spinners and initially batsmen.

 

[RUDI]

Added a poll. If the majority is for it, I'll allow two transfers from any free agent [Any player (minimum 30 x International caps between 2010 - 2020) that played in the last decade is eligible] for up to two players.

 

[Manish.]

Here we go again with a balanced pitch . Need to do some homework and post the lineup.

48 Hour Free Agent Transfer/draft Window Open

Is your squad lagging that one or two players that can balance out your squad? Here is your opportunity to transfer/draft up to two new players.
You can either add up to two players or replace up to two players. Normal qualification criteria applies (Any player that played a minimum of 30 ODI's between the period of 1 Jan 2010 to 31 Dec 2020).

Remember associate Nation players will be rated lesser because of them mainly playing against associate Nations.

Should you feel you did a good enough job during the initial drafts, you don't have to transfer/draft any addition players.

Newly drafted players will only be available for matches post Week 4.
