Battrick Season 9 FC League

[MCMLXXXII]

I played my first FC match in Div IV today. I bowled first and got the other team out for 29. I then scored 496/1 losing one batsman for 250. I plan to declare at 500 and then bowl him out and get an extra day of rest, although will miss out on revenues.

[Straight Bat]

Bowled their team out for 96, i'm on 294/1 at the moment and plan on batting out tomorrow as I'm at home. Will then have day 3 to bowl him out

[iZeeshan]

Scored 600 on the first day. Four batsmen batted, all scoring 100+, with first opener scoring 200. Number 3 and 4 are not out. Playing easy team so will bat till 1000.

[FAM]

Against a bot team, so I will win easily... Could beat them tommorow, but I need to stay for full 3 days. I need to pocket as much money as I can this season.

[Hari Sombar]

Bowled them out for 138, scored 419, overnight decoration, and hopefully a bowl out, 2 days rest maybe :D

[Kamran]

Sanyo won by an innings and 255 runs.
nice start to the season.

[MCMLXXXII]

won by an innings and 420 runs

[Straight Bat]

i jus posted over 1000 in reply to the 96 igot them out in the 1st innings for. Will declare early tomrrow and will hopefully bowl them out.

[Hari Sombar]

Won by an innings and 10 runs

1 day rest

[iZeeshan]

Ehh, kept batting. Didn't get much out of it though.

Already bowled them out for 133 with 2 incredibly weak bowlers. Should be able to skittle them for another 150 in second innings.

[iZeeshan]

Won by an innings and 653 runs :D

Beat all of u.

[Straight Bat]

did you? I won by an innings and 900 odd I think

[iZeeshan]

:)) Lol arite SB. I see how it is.

[Straight Bat]

:)) I'm exepecting someone to come in here and show me up now!

I have another easy game next week, I plan on finishing itin 2 days max as it is away.

Btw, I zee can you have a look at the 'sign up thread' which is stickied and post your thoughts on what we should do in regard to how long the cup runs should last max

[MCMLXXXII]

I think an innings and 420 runs and only 1.25 days would be better then playing 3 days and winning by 900 runs. I got full points and my players were rested enough to win my tougher OD game. I have figured the key is all in the PFL. If your players are winning then the member confidence will be up and the money will flow in, no point having desolate confidence and playing all 3 days.

What is the best strategy? play for money or playing for PFL?

[Straight Bat]

Depends on the cash flow of the business. If you're below the 1.6m magic mark and are not earning the max 80k per week on interest then maybe it would be best if you played out the full 3 days to gain the revenue.

However, like you said, the key is pfl. Although I'm happy in the short run with 3 days revenue, I may regret playing this match for 3 days in game week 10 if i get really low pfl.

[Kamran]

Play for money as more money buys you better players with better stamina.

[iZeeshan]

It wasn't even my home ground, so I was probably really stupid and played for 3 days. However, if it was my home ground, I would draw it out.

[Hari Sombar]

I lost the match convincingly but it was not about the result, for me it was about the money

[Kamran]

i lost by an innings and 46 runs but i am impressed that i took the match well into the third day. I expect to lose again next week so might focus on odi for the next couple of weeks.

[Straight Bat]

Won yesterday by an innings and 190 odd, good rest of pfl today.

[iZeeshan]

I think I won by an innings and 1000 runs.

[MCMLXXXII]

I won by 10 wickets. This was the second best team in the league. Smooth sailing from here with plenty of rest.

[Straight Bat]

Nice to see a fair few of us doing well, maybe we can find the next Pakistan manager if we keep winning!

[khan-92]

won by an innings and 799 runs could have finished on the 2nd day was greedy for more money and declared when i made over 900 runs.

[FAM]

I really, really need to get a good bowler or two. Haven't lost, but a draw against a bot team!!! Gr...

[Straight Bat]

End of Over 40 (21 runs). sohrabslegends: 194-3, runrate=4.85
Lead by 142 runs. (boonys army 52-10)
Chaudhry 20-1-108-2
Keen* 19 (14 balls)
**** 115 (118 balls)

Hopeing to stretch this one out 3 days.

FAM hows your game going today? More bowling problems or not?

[iZeeshan]

I scored 600. My 3rd and 4th batsmen are 268* and 254* respectively. My captain and my senior player. I really wanna declare, but I wanna see how much they can score, so I will let them keep going :D

[Goldbrain]

I have scored 749 my Feeble and Med batsmen scored double 100's:D

[MCMLXXXII]

Being relegated to div IV was an excellent thing for me. I am resting the big guns and scored 611/0 and have them at 33/3 right now. I am not going to make them follow on and will take this to the 3rd day. I got 64K today so at the end of 3 days I could get a lot. This is good this way I can try to finish first in my Div III OD league by keeping the big players fit. This will also help out my chances in the PP league!

[Hari Sombar]

bowled em out for 263, 100 odd-0 at stumps

Gonna declare with a lead of 200

[Goldbrain]

Match is going well as planned, will get all 3 days money and will win the match tomorrow within 10 overs:D

End of Over 5 (2 runs). Goldy: 22-0, runrate=4.40 (1st Inn: 755-5 dec)
Lead by 564 runs. (Sukkur CC 213-10)

[Straight Bat]

Hopeing for the same thing here. I'm facing a bot tho so I should finish it in 9 overs :D

End of Over 173 (3 runs). sohrabslegends: 851-6, runrate=4.92
Lead by 799 runs. (boonys army 52-10)
Chaudhry 50-6-198-3
Nasrullah* 77 (74 balls)
Caskey 41 (64 balls)
Last Wicket: **** b. Naidoo 388 (FOW: 769/6)

[MCMLXXXII]

This sucks!
I wanted to take the match into the third day so I get more money. This is why I didn't make him follow on. I still finished the match in 2 days! The other guy didn't even take a single wicket. I scored 610/0 in the first and set declaration target for 200 for second innings but was still not enough. I won by 633 runs in the end. None of my other batsmen got to bat.

[iZeeshan]

My captain scored 426*. Muahaha!

[Hari Sombar]

Got 1 day rest, had a lead of 200, bowled them out for 50 odd

[Goldbrain]

Won mine, got money and save my main players PFL

Good planning:D

[Straight Bat]

sohrabslegends won by an innings and 867 runs.
230k gate reciepts

ahhhhhhhhh this is the good life

[FAM]

Got owned by jordee's team. =P

[iZeeshan]

Easy win. Won by almost 900 runs!

Siddiq (my 2nd best bowler who played) took 7-5!

[Hari Sombar]

Playing a bot at home, bowled them out for 92 in 44 overs
Im 238-2 after 66 overs, gonna bat tomorrow, overnight dec. and bowl them out

full money, full points and a win :D

hopefully

[Goldbrain]

Playing away, scored 380-2

Other team 158-4 :D

[iZeeshan]

Have 600 runs on the board with my openers each scoring 150+, very very happy about that. But my captain de-lucked and got out for just 1 :( after scoring 426* in the previous innings from the last FC. Oh well.

[MCMLXXXII]

Got the opposition out for 101. Now on 251/0 plan to declare at like 400 and win the match quick. It is an away game and I want to save PFL.

[MCMLXXXII]

Won by an innings and 244 runs. Finished early on day 2, got plenty of rest. Now 2 big matches coming up. I think I am going to lose my next match against Feckin' Hull (8825). Any advice? The pitch was flat yesterday and green now, if it stays this way, I might have a chance with my bowlers but he is much much tougher then me, I don't really know what I should do. I just plan to play my best team possible and hope for the best.

[Kamran]

If you dont think you stand a chance then it might be beter to just TIE and save some pfl. Looking at his team the weak point i can see is his middle order batting, if you can get through the top order then you might be able to bowl him out. Look at his last cup game the team he lost to had much lower ratings.

[MCMLXXXII]

Well yes that last cup game is very interesting, it seems like his batting could not stand up at all and basically one bowler was able to go through the whole lineup. I think his bowler Haleem will easily take out my top order.

I am not going to TIE as I feel that I can stay at the top of the group and stay undefeated. It will be hard beating him but it is very possible. If he goes with a green pitch, that is my strength too. I think I could have enough batsmen to bat deep. It is times like these that I wished my keeper was a decent batsman.

[Kamran]

I suppose you could try and have your top 3 or 4 bats on very def or def orders.

[MCMLXXXII]

I forgot to set orders and 2 of my players, Imranullah Javeddudin and joey Allen are on lively fitness. I needed to rest them to prepare for my big game on Friday which I really need to win and also to take on MKR on Sunday. I got the opponent out for 50 and have batted to 430/1. I plan to declare and then use only 4 bowlers and let the above to just stand there to save their PFL. I should easily win this game but I am not sure if my players will recover in time.

[Goldbrain]

Yahoo I managed to get 3rd day money as well as will beat my oponent and stay top of the league:)

[iZeeshan]

Wow guys...look at this unbelievable innings from my team. Against a really weak team, but still.. haha

[Hari Sombar]

You love raking up the nice scores dont you ?

I should have finished my game today, but a mistake in the declaration target means I will take the away game into 3rd day and deny myself full points.

[MCMLXXXII]

I decided to go into this match with none of my front line bowlers. The pitch is also flat, and I underestimated my opponent who is only 3rd in our league and not 8th as I had thought. What this means is that I am having a tough time getting him out. I am afraid the match might go into a draw. Any suggestions on what I should do to win?

Hari, I LOVE the nice, huge scores.

But 575*! HOW NICE IS THAT? Too bad I can't see how far he's going to go.

[Straight Bat]

I'd set your batsmen on V attacking and declare on a second innings score of 225. Then, have your bowlers as attacking/v attacking to see if you can bowl them out.

declaring on 225 would give you a lead of 326 and I think that'd be more than enough. But, you know your team better than me... what declaration total were you looking at?

[MCMLXXXII]

i was looking for a lead of 400 but I don't know how many runs my bowlers would give away on attacking orders.

[Straight Bat]

How good has the other player been tactically in his other matches?

That, and his player ratings could have a large bearing on the amount of risk you should take.

Is it 120 overs in a day?

If you went for a lead of 400, how many overs do you think you'd have to bowl at him?

[iZeeshan]

Its 110.

Btw, are there promotions in First Class? Cuz I don't want to get promoted.

[MCMLXXXII]

Its 110.

Btw, are there promotions in First Class? Cuz I don't want to get promoted.

Yeah there are promotions and demotions. Last season I got demoted from III to IV and I love it!

[MCMLXXXII]

I won my game. Thanks a lot SB for your help. This now makes 6 wins out of 6 and keeps my members happy.

[Straight Bat]

congrats to all who won again.

I won by 10 wickets, looking forward to tomorrows game against one of the best in the league.

[Hari Sombar]

Won by 8 wickets in the end, not too bad.

Gonna be playing a 'second string XI' in tomorrows match and TIE, so I can GFI in my next OD match .... hoping to get to 150, and restrict them to 270 on a slow pitch.

Not gonna win though.

[iZeeshan]

Drew in the hope of not getting promoted.

The 575* guy went on to make make 600. I scored 1800 runs AO.

[MCMLXXXII]

I wanted to take this game in to the 3rd day so badly but couldn't. I had even set my bowlers on defensive but that got them out quicker!

[Straight Bat]

The players are off the field for tea.

End of Over 70 (1 runs). Butt129: 234-4, runrate=3.34 (1st Inn: 360-10)
Lead by 92 runs. (sohrabslegends 502-5 dec)

My first match this year that I won't be winning. Mainly due to Butt playing on a hard and fast pitch, just finding it too difficult to bowl him out with my second string bowling attack.

Oh well, this result won't have a bearing on my promotion bid - that is garunteed.

[Straight Bat]

End of Over 81 (1 runs). Butt129: 278-8, runrate=3.43 (1st Inn: 360-10)
Lead by 136 runs. (sohrabslegends 502-5 dec)

If I can get them all out by the 85th over, it gives me 25 overs to get around 150 which could be do-able as my batsmen are all on very attacking.

[Straight Bat]

Alshaun gets another wicket and with that gets his first 5 wicket haul.

1 wicket left to get and then an interesting chase will take place

[Straight Bat]

stupid captain has taken off both my wicket taking bowlers (who took 8 wickets between them) and has put on two bowlers who are having a poor match. Will be gutted if their innings isn't over before 90 overs



End of Over 86 (Maiden). Butt129: 289-9, runrate=3.36 (1st Inn: 360-10)
Lead by 147 runs. (sohrabslegends 502-5 dec)

[Straight Bat]

162 to win in 19 overs.

I can see myself coming up 40 runs short of the win

[Straight Bat]

I drew in the end

Hari, I just read about ur match on the sledging board. unlucky about the game, You got bowled out with the last ball of the match! if you had a dot ball it would have been a good draw for you!

Just drawn todays game in a bid to avoid promotion.

Do you guys think that if I tried losing/drawing my remaining matches then I can avoid promotion at all?

[Hari Sombar]

Wow, your way ahead, I think you might need to lose a majority of them and only draw one of them to have a chance

[iZeeshan]

I drew 3 on purpose to avoid promotion, and haven't lost any yet.

All three times, Hussain (a proficient) got 575+, the highest being 589.

[pakdentist]

if i deliberately lose all remaining games is there any way i can avoid promotion?

you're in a harder position than me!

I have reservations about me trying to avoid promotion so it may be even harder for you.

I doubt you can, if you do, you'll have to pray the 2nd guy wins them all

[pakdentist]

forget it then im just going to win all remaining games and try and get as many new members as possible. i just threw my od match in div III so should drop down in od league at least.

Im not saying it definitely won't work, you can give it a try if you want

[pakdentist]

nah its ok, i suppose it will give me a challenge at least otherwise it would get boring being in div 4 for both leagues! Since i've updated my stadium and been winning all my FC games things have been really good for my team. Ive picked up a lot of tips here, i guess for the first couple of seasons when i started playing i just wasted time and didn't have a clue, especially with things like training etc!

[MCMLXXXII]

OK, I am trying to throw away a match and if not that then at least draw it. I have set the most ridiculous orders. Set my bowlers to bat and my batsmen to bowl. Lets see how it goes.

[MCMLXXXII]

OK, so the first match I tried to throw away, I ended up drawing. This second one, I was able to lose to the second place guy and he is comfortably in first now. Do I need to throw away my last game as well? I would expect him to win his last match. I have been setting the most ridiculous orders possible for these.

Here is the table.

If you are 100% sure, the other team will win their match easily and will get full batting and bowling points as well as match winning points than you dont have to throw your match, remember losing matches effect your moral and moral effects money:D

[iZeeshan]

Easy goings. Haven't lost one yet, and have drawn 4 on purpose. Hope I don't get promoted.

[Hari Sombar]

Absolutely stupid game playing the third guy, this is what happened :

India Rules - 334
Keyur - 159
India Rules - After stumps was about 50-3 and then 104 all out
Keyur - 281 ..... 2 of his batsman made 100's after being bowled out for 159


How is that possible ??? :O

[MCMLXXXII]

Did the pitch change at the end of day? Do those things have any effect? I know I have seen that if I check the ground the pitch has changed but on the scorecard it still shows the old pitch type. How does that work?

A pitch can't change during a match
