FTP: From the Pavilion general chat

I'm in a very good position in my first match :D

One of my batsmen I bought scored a 50 ball 101 and we scored 231, and they're 49/2 after 10 overs :D
 
Finally have an U19 International player, finally added to the squad even though he was supposed to around 3 weeks ago.

Lost by 25 runs in my first T20 game of the season, making 143/8 chasing 168. Their first wicket partnership of 129 really hurt us. James Fiebig and LeBron James took 2 wickets each. Vice captain, Stephen Byrne hit a nice 56 off 48 balls and Fiebig hit 36 off 21 at the end and other than O'Leary, nobody scored higher than 20.
 
I completely owned the other team, winning by 133 runs in a T20 :D
 
I'm getting wasted in my youth match though. 19/2 chasing 299 lol

I went onto battrick the other day, and FTP looks much better and is easier to understand imo.

oh and I think I'm going to be outbid on Priyanka. It's at 19k atm.

:facepalm 47/5

Having a good youth team is based quite a bit on luck isn't it? And what age you get the players
 
Young just hit 34* on debut to get the team over the line, chasing 247 after my Sri Lankan U19 spinner took 2/42 off 8 overs. Murch and MacLean batted well at the top of the order with 74 and 48 respectively before Young coming in at 4 got the team over the line with 5 wickets in hand and about 7 overs to spare. tbh, I didn't expect to get that much for Priyanka and I would have rather not have him sold to anyone other than you but oh well. Easy money.
 
I just raised the price a few times to get you more money :p
 
Yes but i dunno what he's autobid up to. I don't want to spend that much :p
 
I presume so since whenever I raised him it automatically came back saying I was outbid.
 
Great to see you like FTP, Chewie! I'm assuming your team is located in New Zealand? Just make sure you get your tactics right while you're starting. Just have a look on the forums, and read the newbie guide and manual for help on that. Players are important but you need to know how to set good orders.

Just won a game in "The Don't Elect Sector Cup". I'm first seed and hoping to win, as I've never won a friendly competition before, my best is only 2nd in a small comp.

Also won my T20 game by 1 run, so a great start to the season I'd say.

Yup my team's a NZ one. I won my first T20 by 133 runs so i think my tactics are fine. Lost my Youth match by 207 runs but that's because my youth haven't been trained much yet I presume.

One problem I have is that I have bought 11 players but none of them are really wicket keepers. One of them is alright at wicket keeping but he's better at bowling and he's an RF bowler so I normally use him for that.

Chewie added 2 Minutes and 54 Seconds later...

Just realised that another of my trades went through and the guy's an alright wicketkeeper so I'll just play him :)
 
Start of the new season very bad. Lost two group matches. First in Youth and then Oneday. Lost easy Oneday match.

Feeling very upset... :facepalm
 
I'm doing very well in my senior matches but did terribly in my youth match.
