3 bat boosts then?

Idk... boosting bowlers in T20 hasn’t been that effective.

So we could go for 3 bat boosts.

Or we could do something like this:

In my opinion the first one looks much safer. However we know how unpredictable the sim is.

What do you think?

[Mueez]

What about the toss call?

Bowl first, bat first or does it depend on playing lineup of PB?

Ideally we wouldn’t want to chase against 95 rated spinner like Canistani Hero

However if they don’t boost any of their bowlers (for example they use a super AR boost) I think we should bowl first...?

What are your thoughts on this? @Thunderbolt14

Yea I heard k Hania ko tum ne aisey pata ya k usney Asim ko chohr dia

Definitely first one. Also like you said, bat first if they have a 95 bowler, otherwise bowl first (which seems to work on normal pitches). Either ways, it’s quite balanced.

Will do bro!

Gonna wait a bit.

[Mueez]

Just posted the lineup!

Let’s do this boys

[Mueez]

@Thunderbolt14 salute sir!

I want to thank you for all your tactics and tips for choosing the lineup.

I hope we will be able to carry CT to glory next season!

It has been a great ride! Please tell Hania to not forget me.

thank you, bro. This entire tournament wouldn’t be the same without you. I’m so glad we got this far. Finals weren’t to be but let’s hold our heads high. We finished in Top 2 in two different formats and we played well through and through.

It’s been amazing

[Thunderbolt14]

@last_knight @Hadi Rizvi @Watsupdoc @Square Drive @Deewana Mastana @Smbhayi @Geil @Moh@n I’m glad I can call all of you friends. Thank you for your support, banter, and fun

End of PPCL Season will have more impact than Losing The Final/Semi Final

Definitely we have played brilliant, fearless cricket and I’m proud of you and the whole team.

We fought hard! Most importantly the fun we had in the last couple of weeks was so good that I don’t have words to describe it!

Stay safe and we will remain in touch

Until the next season!

Still in NL. Don’t think will go to Pak this summer unfortunately. Hopefully the virus doesn’t break out again after Eid, then maybe I will go otherwise don’t see it happening.

Luckily enough whole (close) family is here so yeah it is all good, alhamdulillah!

Yes bro that’s the plan. A little worried about Eid but hopefully all will be fine even then!

What are your Eid plans?

[Mueez]

Yes bro that’s the plan. A little worried about Eid but hopefully all will be fine even then!

What are your Eid plans?

Nothing too special... think there is one Eid party of our family friends - so most probably will go there.

Obviously the rest of the Eid days with family!

What are you going to do?

[Thunderbolt14]

Had Johnny Jugnu the other day and man it was amazing.

Also had chashni k rasgulle yesterday. Boy I missed Pakistan

Damn yaar kya yaadein dilaa dein.

There’s Haveli and Cooco’s Den in old Lahore which I’m sure you’ve been to. Stop at Gaddafi stadium — there’s this place called Baranh. It’s run by a chef who prepares street food in an exquisite way. Some of the best kachorian I’ve ever had and great gol gappay.

If you’re visiting MM Alam road, I would recommend Qabail for some fantastic Afghani food. And you can’t go wrong with Meat the Cheese if you’re a cheese lover Not sure if they’re open given the quarantine, but definitely check if they are.

Finally, get a super fudge delight at Jay Bee’s at the Askari XI service lane (right outside Phase V DHA). It’s one of those niche Lahori things just like getting Johnny Jugnu

These are some niche, fantastic places after being a Lahori veteran. Check some or all of them out if you can. I think you’ll enjoy

CGC? There are atleast 10 better burger joints in Islamabad

Try Street Burger and Cannoli at Beverly next time you visit Islamabad. Burgers of Jessi's and Wild Wings are good too.

Season 2 is on it’s way and that means we are allowed to retain max 5 players!

Which means that unfortunately a couple of you will have to leave us for next season... I’d like to thank those who were/are part of the Cornered Tigers Family. There is a slight chance me and @Thunderbolt14 choose you all in the draft again!

[Mueez]

@Thunderbolt14 list of players which I think we should retain.

1. @Bhaag Viru Bhaag (he said himself he wants to carry on with us)

2. @Manager102

3. @sweep_shot

4. @StreetSmart

[Thunderbolt14]

Perfect! These are definitely the most active though will be sorry to see ahmad haris and ark rafay go. Let’s try and pick them again during the draft when it gets to our turn, assuming they haven’t been taken yet.

[Manager102]

You have my bat

To be very honest... you and @Bhaag Viru Bhaag are a must for CT.

So you guys shouldn’t worry about being left out.

Haha that's good!

Tbh between TB14, yourself and us two, we have a pretty good backbone already... hopefully after retaining 1 more we can then get the others back in the draft!

Add Sweep shot too.

Only room for 5... will have to think carefully

Sweep shot and street smart have both been active and wouldn’t be fair to one or the other
