The PlanetCricket Battrick Sledging Thread

yeaa sentiments are like everywhere is most peoples teams, i still have 3 ppl 2 of which will have to go but 1 will stay just cause he scored a double century8-)

Last match I played, I had Khizer Yousuf at 3 down. I'm gonna move him up to 1 down since the two batsmen being promoted down the order sucked last season. The problem with leaving Yousuf at 3 down could be harmful since when batting against weak teams he won't get to bat at all (reason for my openers' Bradman-esque averages).

Any thoughts?

EDIT: My openers are Hashmat Mohmand and Rahim Qadeer btw.

Hmm looking forward to playing Nightprowler His team looks fairly similar to mine, just mine has better batting and spin bowling...

15.6 4 Weir to Phillips
Phillips really smashed that one. A very convincing four.
15.5 3 Weir to Haishen
That's a quick three there. A few more of those and Haishen will be needing oxygen.
15.4 4 Weir to Haishen
Shortish delivery, drifts away and cuts back in, pulled safely down the ground through mid wicket for a boundary.
15.3 4 Weir to Haishen
He opens the shoulders and cuts the ball between gully and point.
15.2 4 Weir to Haishen
Sweetly timed drive for four.
15.1 1 Weir to Phillips
On the back foot, stroked to deep extra cover.

This was not expect from a player like this:

Nigel Weir (452189)
LH Batsman, LM Bowler, worthless batting form, woeful bowling form, changeable
A steady player with worthless leadership skills and feeble experience.

My strengths are my openers and fast bowlers. I think my best spinner averages just under 30 (compared to mid-teens for the fast bowlers) and my best batsmen aside from my openers averages in the 20s IIRC. I've got ways to go, but would love some game time.

I am still keeping Mahmood as opener just because of sentiments. He perfomed at that position really well in the start but now he is not performing that well.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

my best spinner averaged around 8 last season!

My team name is Pup and I have found the battrick section of PlanetCricket I was wondering how my team compares to other teams around here?

Cheers,

Oh, so now the Aussies come out after winning the Ashes and making it to the WC final in Battrick

I can't believe England got out in the knock out stage !! Ryno has let us down big time. Not making it to the final is a big failure. I should've won the elections

 

[rickyp]

guys, whats up with the "controversy" surounding Aus in the WC, i read some people complaining about it but couldnt find out exactly what happened.

Also, when does the next season start?

 

[zainawan89]

In the last league match between Pakistan and Australia Australian manager Infinious did something strange to his orders. He made batsman bowl and bowlers bat. So in the end Pakistan won and Australia got an easy opponent in semis. Thats what happened.

 

[Bilal91]

lol...thats crazy...

 

[ste_mc_efc]

but it also meant SA didnt qualify, which is harsh because effectively it was a gift win for pakistan, something that SA didn't get

So realistic.

But the good news is, after initially being robbed of a Semi spot, West Indies are in the Final!
