Same... anticipation got too much for me.

Couldn't help myself with some good old fashioned trolling

I couldn’t help it either

@Thunderbolt14

Your thoughts on the pitch selection for the match against PB?

I was thinking about dry or spicy...

I’m thinking maybe dry. Spicy seems to make things a little unpredictable for first class

[Mueez]

Indeed. Having watched our match against MU, I feel spicy is offering something for the pacers.

So we could go for dry or flat? What do you think about flat?

[Manager102]

Need to put our money where our mouth is and come fighting like Cornered Tigers today..

@Mueez bhai let’s see how pitch behaves then submit the pitch variation for the next match

Exactly.

Let’s see what happens in the next 2-3 days in the match.

[Mueez]

Tough luck boys...

But I’m proud how we bounced back.

@Thunderbolt14 could you pls post the pitch type?

Let’s go with dry or spicy again.

What do you think?

What do you think?

Oh no need of that. The deadline is in 30 mins.

I’m choosing dry. Spicy is dangerous with pacers.

[Mueez]

Done.

[Thunderbolt14]

Looks good! Sorry I didn’t see this earlier.

[Mueez]

Looks good! Sorry I didn’t see this earlier.

Koi nahi bro.

I thought we had to submit it before 00:00 GMT

So I thought I would not be available during that time...

[Manager102]

Tough one today, but a lot of promising signs. Looking forward to bouncing back in style!

[Mueez]

@Thunderbolt14 how about we go with the same playing XI.

However we shouldn’t open the batting with Jadeja.

Let me know your opinion.

Preliminary:
@Manager102
@ARK Rafay
@Bhaag Viru Bhaag
Ravindra Jadeja (Super A/R Boost)
@sweep_shot (Super A/R Boost)
@Ibrahim.Imran
@ahmadharis1
@CadPakFan (WK)
@Invincible Gujjar
@Mueez
@Thunderbolt14

Also thinking about whether to give a double boost to Jadeja or a single one - so that we could boost one extra player.

I was wondering, is it allowed to play just 3 bowlers? i havent read anything against this

[Mueez]

I think it is allowed

It isn’t a bad idea at all if it is allowed.

@jeetu bhai could you confirm this?

[jeetu]

@jeetu bhai could you confirm this?

Sim needs atleast 4 bowlers for tests.

[Mueez]

Sim needs atleast 4 bowlers for tests.

Oh okay thanks.

Appreciate the work which you guys are doing

[ahmadharis1]

Am I batting at 7 because it's a spicy pitch?

[Mueez]

Am I batting at 7 because it's a spicy pitch?

Nope bro, that was just the preliminary squad. Will post the real lineup in the morning.

Also we are going to play on a dry pitch.

Good luck for the upcoming match

Ah ok. Thanks, will hope to finally get some runs on the board!

[Mueez]

Ah ok. Thanks, will hope to finally get some runs on the board!

I’m sure you will do it.

[Mueez]

Just posted the lineup.

Chosen for a double boost for Jadeja as it is a spinning pitch and we want to get results from the spinners.

Hopefully he won’t disappoint us

Also have promoted @ahmadharis1 as an opener as we will have to shield our diamond’s so that they can make full use of their capabilities.

@Thunderbolt14 have a feeling you will come good on this pitch

Last but not the least - all the best team!

I’m impressed by the way we bounced back in the last match with our bowling performance.

We will have to replicate the same and I’m sure you all will do it for yourself and the team.

Let’s get it!

Great speech skip! Highly motivated and will perform great on the track

[Thunderbolt14]

To be fair it’s a dry track and low support for seamers/swingers. But I will try my best

Hahahaha I know.

But we have seen weird things, haven’t we

[Thunderbolt14]

@Mueez spicy pitch for game against the hawks do you think? Their team strategy works well on flat pitches but not as much on spicy

Yeah bro, was thinking the same.

[Manager102]

On top in the current game and so management already plotting the demise of our next victim

We gotta have the killer instinct, don’t we bro!

For sure, not just tigers in name..

[Thunderbolt14]

@Mueez I just noticed that sweep shot has only bowled 5 overs and the sim is preferring the top 2 bowlers — you and Jaddu. What if we play a batting AR in his position and also boost a pure batsman like @ahmadharis1.

[Thunderbolt14]

In my position too maybe another AR.. what do you think

[Mueez]

@sweep_shot bowled 18 overs if I’m not wrong.

We could play Jacques Kallis or @StreetSmart instead of him, however we would have to double boost the player so that he could be handy with the ball.

What I have noticed in the sim is that very often we see a low score which means the sim favors the batsmen...

So we have to make sure the bowlers are good going and not underpowered.

[Mueez]

In my position too maybe another AR.. what do you think

Wouldn’t that make the bowling a bit weak?

[Thunderbolt14]

Hmm how about replace me with Kallis? At least we have another batting option this way. I have only bowled 15 overs and also on a spicy pitch Kallis won’t do too much worse than me. But he will definitely contribute 20 runs more at the very least with the bat.

[Thunderbolt14]

Yesterday’s match on a spicy pitch

Yes we could replace you with Kallis but it all depends on the ground characteristics and pitch type.

Let’s see what happens and then decide bro

Thank you for always having faith in me

No thanks bro, there is a reason why I have faith in everyone - all the players are champions! All the players are hungry for success.

Thanks yaar

[Mueez]

Heartbreaking loss.

But we move.

On to the next match - against Lightning Hawks.

We are playing it on a spicy pitch.

Think we should go with this:


@Manager102
@ARK Rafay
Ravindra Jadeja (Super A/R Boost)
@Bhaag Viru Bhaag
@sweep_shot (Super A/R Boost)
@CadPakFan (WK) (Super Batsman)
@ahmadharis1
@Invincible Gujjar
@Mueez
@Thunderbolt14

@Thunderbolt14
Feel free to give your opinion on it as next match is a must-win for us.

[Thunderbolt14]

I like this, let’s go with it. Super batsmen seem to be working in the draft so far.

Although are you sure about not having even one 95 spinner?

[Mueez]

That’s a good idea to be honest.

So then we will have Jadeja on 95, me on 85, you on 75 and sweep_shot 65

As it is a spicy it will most probably offer something for the bowlers.

So boosting an extra bat wouldn’t do us any harm

We haven’t been so good at defending totals so far but yes let’s bat first since we did really well on days 1 and 3

Yeah man.

We choked two games which we shouldn’t.

Anyways heads up! We will bounce back!

[Mueez]

Btw, I’m going to post the lineup then.

Let’s hope luck favors us tomorrow

[Thunderbolt14]

also let’s take a moment to appreciate our youngest player @Manager102 being the highest run scorer. Excellent breakthrough on debut.

Absolutely.

What a find.

[Manager102]

Thanks guys

Need to keep up the performances and start getting the W's now

[Thunderbolt14]

New sponsorship and ads deal just came in for you two @Manager102 @Bhaag Viru Bhaag

I think that's you and @Mueez bhai

I think that's you and @Mueez bhai

We have good acting skills @Thunderbolt14

Pt 2

Pt 2

Hahahahha to be honest this show was pretty nice. Was hilarious to see the banter between Shoaib and Wasim.

[Mueez]

Tigers - great win today!

Congratulations all!

@CadPakFan

What an innings!

Also a special shout out to @Thunderbolt14 - you bowled extremely well on a pitch which shouldn’t support you

Now on to the next match... against Cerebral Assassins.

So what pitch are we choosing? @Thunderbolt14

[Mueez]

Thinking about a dry pitch or a spicy one...

As CA have two diamond fast bowlers and they would have to choose two spinners because of our ground characteristics.

Let me know your opinion guys!

[Thunderbolt14]

I think we should go for spicy. Our bowlers outmatch easily on both dry and spicy pitches but they have a weakness with one less diamond batsman.

Also, they pulled off a magnificent chase against MisU on a dry pitch the other day and also put up an insane amount of runs on the board against Hawks in round 1 which ended up in a tied match. I think dry suits them as it conceals their weaker batting.

If we play spicy, they will have to make a tough decision between boosting a batsman and boosting a bowler. Either way, they lose What do you think?

Yes I agree. Spicy also suits our combination

What about the playing XI?

The same which we used against LH?

Boosting @CadPakFan did work out eventually.

Yup same as LH I think. We will have one better bowler and one better batsman this way.

Let’s boost @ahmadharis1 this time instead of CadPakFan. He has showed his skill as our Rahul Dravid.

Swap their positions though! Don’t want haris bhai running out of partners

Yes obviously!

Going to post the lineup too then!

[Thunderbolt14]

Sounds good. Your boost distribution in the last was a masterstroke by the way Very proud to serve under your captaincy

[Mueez]

I’m proud to have you all. Everyone has showed so much character after the first two matches.

Hopefully this is just the beginning!

[Mueez]

Forgot to ask the toss call

Should we bat first again?

[Manager102]

Turns out I have South African blood in me

Need to stop choking

[Thunderbolt14]

Forgot to ask the toss call

Should we bat first again?

I think so. Day 2 is by far the worst to bat on from all matches so far.

[Mueez]

I think so. Day 2 is by far the worst to bat on from all matches so far.

Perfect!

[Mueez]

@Thunderbolt14

Need your opinion on the lineup for next match!

Have chosen for a spicy one!

[Thunderbolt14]

I think the lineup From last match was great. Maybe bat the 95 slightly higher up the order so that we don’t run out of partners? 4/5 max

[Mueez]

Yeah was thinking the same!

Should bat at 5 imo.

Okay bro thanks!

BTW- Eid Mubarak to everyone!

May you all have a good one with your loved ones
