Battrick Match Thread

[Sean]

I thought I'd start a thread just for Battrick users to post updates during a match.
Post updates, results etc. in here.

[Sean]

I am playing Real Payne United CC tomorrow.
They are fourth on the ladder.
I'm already certain of a spot in the finals. I am 3rd with 2 games left.

They have a player called Stuart Blenkinsopp.

He looks like a gun. I'll need to get him early. It seems that my captain, James Thackeray, is playing his brother, Vic Thackeray.

I didn't even play my main guy last time. and my main bowler did not bowl!

[Sean]

Bad bad start. :(
I won the toss and elected to bat.
I come on and we just lose a wicket.
4.5 W Thackeray to Warrington
Out! Warrington tries for a pull shot only to see the ball catch the edge of the bat and go straight up. Dayton takes an easy catch and Warrington is on his way.


End of Over 6: 12-2, runrate=2.00
Oconnor 3-0-6-0
Mccormick* 6 (15 balls)
Clee 0 (6 balls)
Last Wicket: Warrington c. Dayton b. Thackeray 2 (FOW: 9/2)

[Sean]

I just noticed that Thackeray got his brother out for 4.

[Sean]

F***!! (Sorry for language)
9.5 W Oconnor to Clee
That's what bowlers love to see! The bails flying, stumps everywhere and the batsmen's face when he looks down at his stumps, priceless!

End of Over 10: 31-3, runrate=3.10
Oconnor 5-0-13-1
Mccormick* 21 (28 balls)

I really need some better batsmen. THey are so inconsistent.

[Sean]

Mccormick has just gone BANG!

14.2 6 Muralitharan to Mccormick
That full toss has gone soaring high, high, high in the air and I don't think that it's coming back! That's gone into orbit!

He is 39 from 41 balls.

make a bid for him now. i think he finishes on saturday. my team is class acts. bat him in position 5 or 6 and he will score quick 50's for you with strike rate like afridi. he scored 96 off abt 40 balls for me in one league game. go to search and type his name in. he plays for class acts.

[hasbeen]

I still have to wait for tomorrow. There could be other bids and I could lose.
and I only have 62,000 in my balance. How much do you have to have for your team to be taken away from you? I heard it was -300,000.

lol you have plenty of money then. my bank balance is - 172000. just dont let it go over minus 200 000 and youl b alright. the thing is after minus 150 000 you cant make bid for any players, and each week you make a profit so you wont go bankrupt.

[Sean]

Six to Black. BANG!

24.1 6 Walton to Black
Planted his front foot to the pitch of the ball, and swept it magnificently over midwicket.

what do you think of this guy sean? im thinking of selling him. with nets he can become a brilliant player because he is so young at 18 and averages over a 100. would you be interested if i decided to sell him???

[Sean]

The thing is, you'll probably get a massive bid if you put him up. Don't bids go for 2-3 days?

[Sean]

NO!!!!!!!!
25.3 W Oconnor to Mccormick
He's out! That was a disgraceful shot. It was a wide ball and he's had a little dabble and gifted Dayton a catch.

I think that might be game over for me. He goes for 64.

sean you seem to have 212000 to spend on players. hopefully youl get billy clarke and haresh ghandi and maybe you need to invest in one or two more batsmen. how are your bowlers like???

[hasbeen]

the first thing i did when i joined was, decided to buy a lot of players because the ones they give you are *****. i signed upto 15-20 players at the begining and it has worked for me because i have only lost one game since i started and that was to the top of th table team. you need to invest in players to start sucessfully

I dunno because I don't know how much players a worth. What do you think?

i would train him but i aint got enough nets to train him. if you have 3-4 nets then i think he would be a good buy. 1-2 batting nets, one fitness net and one fielding net. then in about 4-5 weeks his batting,conc and stamina would be competent. if he has an average of 100 at the moment then after 4-5 weeks training, who knows lol he might average a lot higher. im just saying how much would you b willing to offer if i sold him to u??? give me a price and il consider it.

OH MY GOD! Longrigg, probably one of my worst batsmen, has carted Walton for 6!
31.2 6 Walton to Longrigg
Going, going, gone! Out of the stadium and onto the road. Longrigg sure got a hold of that one.

[Sean]

Ahh god.
31.6 W Walton to Longrigg
Longrigg's bat has got stuck in the turf, and a direct hit from Blenkinsopp at point catches him well short of his ground.

[Sean]

This is a classic comment from the commentator.

Short and wide, just like my mother in law. No run. :)))

This is my team today,

Thackeray, Warrington, Mccormick, Clee, Whitman, Black, Rowe-francis, Longrigg, Handbury, Person, Bellwood.


overall sean you reallly need to invest in new blood if you want to go places

[Sean]

End of Over 39: 183-7, runrate=4.69
Muralitharan 10-1-63-1
Handbury* 16 (25 balls)
Black 73 (64 balls)
Last Wicket: Longrigg Run Out 12 (FOW: 147/7)

Handbury has moved to 19 but I feel a wicket will come soon and undo the work that these 2 have done.

[hasbeen]

sean iv given you the advice which i think is best. hope it helps. check above

[Sean]

What do you mean by invest?

[Sean]

Hopefully I can reach 250.

Walton 6-1-33-0
Black* 86 (76 balls)
Handbury 25 (31 balls)
Last Wicket: Longrigg Run Out 12 (FOW: 147/7)

Black is about to get into the 90s

[hasbeen]

What do you mean by invest?

buy players that can improve your team. this is my advice. buy one or two youngsters under 19. train them up for a season so they improve every week. along with that buy 5-6 players who are 20 odd who can perform for you week in week out straight away.

[Sean]

I have to keep Mccoormick and Black. They've been brilliant for me.

[Sean]

Who should I put in the nets?

[Sean]

BLACK INTO THE NINETIES! The nervous nineties.

[Sean]

96!!!!

[hasbeen]

Who should I put in the nets?

i would buy one or two 17 or 18 yr olds and train them. someone who has similar stats to the guy i might be selling

[Sean]

97!!!!

[Sean]

98!!!!

End of Over 45: 231-7, runrate=5.13
Thackeray 8-0-44-2

[iZeeshan]

Wow, quite superb batting by Black, and quite an amazing partnership your players have put up here...

[Sean]

100!!!!!!!!
CENTURY FOR BLACK YES!!!!!!! WOOO!!

45.4 1 Walton to Black
A misfield from Fieldhouse allows Black to scamper through for a single.
And that's a century for Black! Well played indeed Sir!

[Sean]

Wow, quite superb batting by Black, and quite an amazing partnership your players have put up here...
Yep. Handbury is in his first ever match. What a start to his career.

Handbury 40 (41 balls)
Last Wicket: Longrigg Run Out 12 (FOW: 147/7)

What a partnership between these two!

[iZeeshan]

265 is on the cards IMO.

Post your scorecard?

I won't be able to follow the match. It is 10:30 here in the US, and it starts at 12 AM.

[Sean]

Dang. All that work has just been undone.
Black out for a marvellous 103.

46.5 W Thackeray to Black
Bowled him! Thackeray keeps running straight past the dejected batsman into the arms of an excitable Dayton. Steady on now lads, there are children watching!

[Sean]

265 is on the cards IMO.

[iZeeshan]

Well played Black, really gave your team a challenging total!

[Sean]

Person is also quite handy with the bat. He made 31 last week and took 4/56.

[Sean]

End of Over 48: 247-8, runrate=5.15
Walton 9-1-54-0
Handbury* 45 (46 balls)
Person 4 (4 balls)
Last Wicket: Black b. Thackeray 103 (FOW: 240/8)

I need some boundaries if I'm going to make 270.

[iZeeshan]

What was the pitch condition?

[Sean]

End of Over 49: 253-8, runrate=5.16
Thackeray 10-0-55-3
Person* 7 (7 balls)
Handbury 48 (49 balls)
Last Wicket: Black b. Thackeray 103 (FOW: 240/8)

2 singles off the first 2 balls in the last over.
I think I'll just reach 260.

[Sean]

49.4 W Walton to Handbury
His concentration has let him down there, pathetic effort from Handbury off what was an average delivery. That won't matter to Walton though, a wicket's a wicket.

What a brilliant innings from the young man in his first match. The bowler has made 49 from 50 balls. He would be devastated at that.

[iZeeshan]

Nice score mate. Though I don't think its defendable. These scores on Battrick are quite easily chased.

[Sean]

That's the end of the innings. What a come back from Gillys Demolition team.
End of Over 50: 258-9, runrate=5.16
Walton 10-1-59-1

[Sean]

What was the pitch condition?
Pitch: Uneven

[iZeeshan]

Hmmm...maybe...

[Sean]

Fall of wickets.

2.1(1-6) W Thackeray to Thackeray (4)
Dayton resembles a coiled spring as he jumps up with ball in glove. A thin edge from Thackeray and Thackeray is delighted with his keeper.

4.5 (2-9) W Thackeray to Warrington (2)
Out! Warrington tries for a pull shot only to see the ball catch the edge of the bat and go straight up. Dayton takes an easy catch and Warrington is on his way.

9.5 (3-31)W Oconnor to Clee (3)
That's what bowlers love to see! The bails flying, stumps everywhere and the batsmen's face when he looks down at his stumps, priceless!

14.6 (4-60)W Muralitharan to Whitman (6)
Forward, the ball beats the bat, and middle and leg stump are out of the ground.

25.3(5-114) W Oconnor to Mccormick (64)
He's out! That was a disgraceful shot. It was a wide ball and he's had a little dabble and gifted Dayton a catch.

25.5(6-114) W Oconnor to Rowe-francis (0)
That's a bad ball by Oconnor, short and wide but Rowe-francis has edged the cut into his own stumps!

31.6 (7-147) W Walton to Longrigg (12)
Longrigg's bat has got stuck in the turf, and a direct hit from Blenkinsopp at point catches him well short of his ground.

46.5(8-240) W Thackeray to Black (103)
Bowled him! Thackeray keeps running straight past the dejected batsman into the arms of an excitable Dayton. Steady on now lads, there are children watching!

49.4 (9-256) W Walton to Handbury (49)
His concentration has let him down there, pathetic effort from Handbury off what was an average delivery. That won't matter to Walton though, a wicket's a wicket.

hmm i see where you coming from. it will be tricky. what is the maximum you are willing to pay for each one?? what you could do to solve your problem is place your highest bid for each now and if anyone pays more than that then good luck to them. at least you know you tried your best to sign them by paying what you think is the highest you think they are worth.
at the moment its likely someone will bid for them in the last minute so you need to work out now how much your willing to spend on each one maximum and place it now.

I'm still going for them. I doubt I'll get Hayden Atkins so i upped it up to 100,000 to try and scare him away. I'll just need someone to buy my players. But they are really crap so I doubt it.

[Sean]

19.6 W Brookfield to Kazmi
Oh dear, dear, dear. Kazmi slipped and has been run out. If you're not going to wear proper shoes, don't bother coming out to play. Great throw from Angus, a direct hit!
19.5 W Brookfield to Nisar
Man alive! A firm drive stopped by a firm dive. Superbly caught by Raza.
19.4 W Brookfield to Aurangzeb
That was more like beach cricket. Brookfield bowled a full toss to Aurangzeb who just spooned the ball back to Brookfield. Who needs a pitch for that kind of play?!

Team Hatrick

Well done mate. You will probably smash me on Sunday but I'm still getting used to this game.

[hasbeen]

I'm still going for them. I doubt I'll get Hayden Atkins so i upped it up to 100,000 to try and scare him away. I'll just need someone to buy my players. But they are really crap so I doubt it.


arent you going to up the bids for the batsmen to scare people away??

[Sean]

I'm not gonna go for Atkins. He will cost too much.

[hasbeen]

I'm not gonna go for Atkins. He will cost too much.

i think he will go for over 200 your better in buying 5-6 players who cost 200 odd all together. i would advise you up the bids for the other two and then look for two or three bowlers as well.

[Sean]

arent you going to up the bids for the batsmen to scare people away??
I dunno. I'll wait until tomorrow then try and scare some people away.

[Sean]

Game over. I've been absolutely thumped and I have fallen back to 4th spot.

And that's the end of the match. Real Payne United CC won by 9 wickets.
Gillys Demolition Team 258-9
Real Payne United CC 259-1


End of Over 44: 259-1, runrate=5.89
Rowe-francis 9-0-71-0
Burton m* 130 (140 balls)
62 (62 balls)

[hasbeen]

I dunno. I'll wait until tomorrow then try and scare some people away.

another thing to point out is, dont just bid for every tom dick and harry , because you wont b able to up ur bids for the ones u really want to go for because the bank wont let u go over the -150 000 overdraft and takes into accounts bids you have made. ie you have made 100 000 bid for atkins, 50 000 for haresh and 30 000 for clark. that means the bank thinks you have made offers upto 180 000. you wont be able to up bids on players you want if you keep bidding for everyone. concentrate on signing one or two at a time and then when they sign go for other players.

[Sean]

arent you going to up the bids for the batsmen to scare people away??
How much should I go for those other 2 players? Someone has already matched the Atkins bid so Id don't care about him any more. 100,000?

I know that. That is why I am only going for the other 2.

[Sean]

Eeep. Four of my players made double figures.

[hasbeen]

I know that. That is why I am only going for the other 2.


fair enough. after you buy these two, go for some bowlers too. up your maximum bids for these two now so you know if anyone will bid for them and if they do you can go for some other players rather than wasting your time.

[Sean]

Ok. I am going 100k for both of them.

[Sean]

I have the feeling that someone else wont bid and I'll pay more than I should have.

[hasbeen]

Ok. I am going 100k for both of them.

ok. then how much do you have left for bowlers??

[hasbeen]

I have the feeling that someone else wont bid and I'll pay more than I should have.

either way it will benefit you thgh. this is how much you think they are worth to u. if anyone makes a higher bid then fair enough you were willing to pay a 100.

if no one bids you get two batsman that will make lots of runs for u

[Sean]

ok. then how much do you have left for bowlers??
I could only go up to about 80k cos I have insufficient funds.

[hasbeen]

I could only go up to about 80k cos I have insufficient funds.


fair enough. i think that should be enough to win the bid unless some rich kid comes and bids in last minute.

That Shafi lad got both of my openers in the first over!

That Shafi lad got both of my openers in the first over!

lol :))) why dont u talk thrash abt him in the talk thrash section lol. let your anger out on him lol by calling him names :D

what are his attributes like ie like his bowling and consistency and stamina?????

[Straight Bat]

lol :))) why dont u talk thrash abt him in the talk thrash section lol. let your anger out on him lol by calling him names :D

:)) if i start talking not it'l give more ammo for Vegitto to work with for when he comes on.

gota get myself ready for his talking :31:

[hasbeen]

SB i just checked your match out and i still think you got a chance to win. it all depends on shafis comeback overs and how your team deals with him. i think if you can avoid losing too many wickets to him, you will win. your run rate is increasing each over and a decent partnership is building. no jinx lol. comonnnnnnnn SB lol

[Straight Bat]

I've stopped scoring for last 2 overs now though, I bat right down to number 9 or 10 though so I guess it still hangs in the balance

[hasbeen]

I've stopped scoring for last 2 overs now though, I bat right down to number 9 or 10 though so I guess it still hangs in the balance

good luck anyways. i thgt since i want you to lose on sunday, its only fair i support you now :)))


lol nice theory there then i suppose :|

[hasbeen]

2 good overs for you. you need a lot of runs before shafi comes back in the attack.

[Straight Bat]

good partnership so far

[Straight Bat]

this ayub kid is getting slapped around like a baby

[hasbeen]

this ayub kid is getting slapped around like a baby

lol i wouldnt complain if i was in your position lol

[Vegitto1]

Comeee Onnnn 1 More Wicket!!!

[hasbeen]

Comeee Onnnn 1 More Wicket!!!

lol he has batting depth so one more wicket wont do it. he below the rrr thgh.

[Straight Bat]

My lower order is all V attacking at batting so if Shafi gets a snif of that then it's not looking good

[Straight Bat]

on top of the rrr now:D

[hasbeen]

your above the rrr so im putting you favourite from here. only shafi can save vegitto now

[Straight Bat]

rr gone down again

[hasbeen]

rr gone down again

dont worry you only need 2 big overs of 15-16 and youl win easily

[hasbeen]

100 for waheed . he seems to score runs past me too. dont he normally open for you? i guess you were scared of shafi getting him early.

[Sean]

Wow. What a partnership. Great stuff SB. :19:

[Straight Bat]

Wow. What a partnership. Great stuff SB. :19:


:D cheers, hope it's in a winning cause

100 for waheed . he seems to score runs past me too. dont he normally open for you? i guess you were scared of shafi getting him early.


:)) yeah, I promoted my wicketkeeper up into Waheed's position so he could attack Shafi because he's an attacking player but he got out for a duck and Waheed ended up practicaly opening again :))

[Straight Bat]

hope to be around 230ish going into the last 10...

[hasbeen]

i think you can chase down 70-80 in last 10 overs.

[Sean]

You need a big few overs SB. Your RRR is rising.

[Straight Bat]

36.4 W Munir to Waheed
Unlucky! The ball goes flying but hits a bird on the way, sending the ball down Butt's throat.


:)))

[Kamran]

hope to be around 230ish going into the last 10...
If you dont win i will go 4 points ahead of you with only 1 game left to play :13:

[Straight Bat]

You need a big few overs SB. Your RRR is rising.


hopefully the next few batsmen will hit, they should be at attacking I think.

If you dont win i will go 4 points ahead of you with only 1 game left to play :13:


Yeah, you won today right? How much by, because it could come down to net run rate

[hasbeen]

Yeah, you won today right?

kamran will come second if you win or lose. his run rate is much higher than yours after today. didnt he destroy the other team.

[Kamran]

Yeah, you won today right?
Yeah about 3 hours ago,won by 10 wickets so the run rate should get a boost aswell.i have had alot of easy wins recently.

Feeling confident are we :D
5 of the next 10 overs are going to be bowled by shafi :13:

[hasbeen]

Yep, I noticed that too :13:

its because they played much longer than us probably by a whole season and thus have much higher battrick ratings than us. they will have one batsman or bowler who will do all the damage. the guy on top of my table has a team full of stars because he has been playing for over a year. you cant compete with them in the short term, only in the long term. :( :(

[Sean]

I had a bad today. I've gonna try and sell 4 really crappy players. I tried selling one yesterday but didn't know how much to sell em for. I put the asking price to 80000. It was a big mistake.
Cos I have no bids.

Now I am hoping to get 2 players and do well in the finals.

[Straight Bat]

40.5 W Shafi to Jones
Wicket ball. That's through the defences and Shafi has his man.
40.4 W Shafi to Mansell
That seemed to stop in the pitch and Mansell was through the shot too early. Shafi takes a simple return catch and throws the ball high into the air in celebration.


lmao

I'm sorry SB. But I think your out of this match now.

[Straight Bat]

Shafi's second over in his return spell, this over will make or break the match for me...

[Straight Bat]

42.2 W Shafi to Winnacott
Winnacott trips over his own feet and it's an easy run out. That's a right mess you got us into Stanley.

[Kamran]

42.4 4 Shafi to Hazell
Charges the delivery, unleashes a square drive, ball goes straight through Ayub at deep backward point.

[Sean]

Bad luck SB. You did well to come back after that dreadful start to your innings.
