[ZoraxDoom]

A) Title should be "If I were you"
B) I can't be bothered now.

 

[The Spin]

Thank you Colin :

If you dont have anything constructive to post...

 

[FreddieFan]

Right, lets get started.

First of all, I'd give Riaan a go higher up the order - top 4. He's got good secondaries so it might come off.

You seem to have plenty of wicketkeepers, so sell sack at least 1 probably two - but you choose, you know them better than me.

I'd try to maintain a squad of 16 core players. Sack/sell the rest, but again, you know them best.

 

[The Spin]

Riaan top 4! He played there when I started with my rubbish squad

Im trying to sack some atm

 

[FreddieFan]

Seriously, give him a go. I put a promising young all rounder opening today, he scored 50 and took 3 wickets!

 

[Pak_cricketer]

What is your Bowling Order? and your Pitch?

 

[The Spin]

Cracked pitch. Default bowling orders

b1: Riaan
b2: Levy
b3: Makin
b4: Harding
b5: Reade

 

[Pak_cricketer]

I would give Franky Banks a chance. In my First Season, I had made a "B" Team, Once players on the "A" Team were Tired they were replaced for a game or two by these players, It Told me which players are useful for me and which players I can not handle. At that time I had a player name Raeesudin.. Good player 11,000 BTR, Prof bowling and Resp. Batting. But He was a spinner..I have some great Fast bowlers, So he was not Successful, First I found his Replacment, then I sold him for 900,000. Made some good money..

 

[The Spin]

Planned team for Friendly v Hasis Legends
Chuguel (*)
Duncum
McDonagh
Riaan b1
Esaia
Antonius
Banks b5
Harding b4
Searle (+)
Makin b3
Levy b2

As you can see, Riaan up to 4, Banks in as the 2nd All Rounder for Reade who bowled badly in the league game

 

[ZoraxDoom]

With default orders bowler number 4 bowls straight through. He needs good stamina. Use sets of 5 if you don't have any bowlers with good stamina.

And my ideal squad = 18 players.
7 players purely on batting
6 bowlers - 4 M/FM/F, and 2 spinners
3 allrounders, good enough to be a pure batter or bure bowler in your lineup
2 keepers. 1 with good stamina+higher skill for FC games, 1 with better batting for OD games. If your best keeper is already capable of making your team based on batting and has high skill, get one more for overall backup.

This way you have enough to swap around and have enough backup, as well as being able to bat well down to 10 if needed, or to carry 11 bowlers.

 

[hassan]

thx for giving me a sneak in your lineup

 

[The Spin]

So, its not a life or death match. Even if you know my line up, it cant help that much.

Thanks Zorax for your advice. I am going to base my squad on that

 

[hassan]

i know i was only having a little laugh m8
