@Thunderbolt14 brother what about one of me or you opening the batting as I think @Manager102 is quite essential for our team and he has been losing his wicket cheaply whilst opening the batting and this also means we bat deep, which ensures we don’t lose close matches

Also thinking about swapping sweep_shot’s position with Gujjar bhai.

The batting order could be something like this:

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


Let me know your opinion on this.

[last_knight]

#3-7 , that's a nightmare for bowlers. I think Cannons so far haven't faced such a strong middle order. That's going to be a big challenge for us.

Hahhaha it depends on if new ball is different from old ball in the sim. I don’t think it is? Not sure though

[Manager102]

Eid Mubarak Tiger fam!

khair mubarak sir

[Mueez]

Hahhaha it depends on if new ball is different from old ball in the sim. I don’t think it is? Not sure though

I think it does with the placement and aggression level.

You might have seen that in the last couple of matches Manager102 got out early although he had a 85 skill level batting.

So that’s why I’m thinking to try this out

[Mueez]

All the best bro!

You guys have a pretty strong squad, this should be a good one!

@Mueez skip what are your thoughts on ODI and T20s? Which to use boosts on?

[Thunderbolt14]

Theoretically we can dominate T20s by forfeiting the ODIs

[Watsupdoc]

Theoretically we can dominate T20s by forfeiting the ODIs

Note @Square Drive lagta hai we’ll have to use boosts in T20 now

[Mueez]

@Mueez skip what are your thoughts on ODI and T20s? Which to use boosts on?

Theoretically we can dominate T20s by forfeiting the ODIs

We have 15 boosts available for ODI’s and T20s.

That means 10 matches - 5 ODI and 5 T20 matches.

What do you think about 5 boosts for ODIs and 10 boosts for T20s?

[Mueez]

Note @Square Drive lagta hai we’ll have to use boosts in T20 now

Let us be the T20 specialists

[Watsupdoc]

Let us be the T20 specialists

Everyone else will be boosting in ODers so it’s a good idea to boost in T20

[Square Drive]

Note @Square Drive lagta hai we’ll have to use boosts in T20 now

Nah I think T20s we should leave for the bacha teams like Pindi Boyz and Tigers etc to have some fun

Not a bad idea. Can definitely work.

[Watsupdoc]

Let’s use 3 boosts in T20 then it will be a two horse race between us and tigers

[Mueez]

@Thunderbolt14 what type of pitch should we choose bro?

[Mueez]

Tigers, heads up!

I know we have been very unlucky with the tied games.

However that shows how strong we are as a team.

We need to get our act together and move on to the next LO matches.

Let’s bounce back hard.

Let’s come back stronger than ever.

Your Kaptaan

[Manager102]

Agreed @Mueez

Clean slate for the LO games

Let's start off strong!

Lol totally forgot we need 5 bowlers

Let’s play a fast bowling AR instead of invincible Gujjar.

Btw sorry about missing your question about pitch type, was asleep

No problem bhai

Yeah let’s play Kallis instead of Gujjar bhai and we could boost him if we want, what do you think?

Or @StreetSmart - for the variety in our bowling

He is a leftie.

[Thunderbolt14]

Let’s do Street Smart. And use our 3 boosts on the 3 all rounders, I think.

This will improve quality of 30 overs of bowling. And give us 3 extra bats. What do you feel?

Yes I like it! It will make our bowling stronger and the batting a bit deep...

[Mueez]

@Thunderbolt14 don’t you think we should have one 95 bat who could take the game away from the opposition...?

We know sweep_shot performs without a boost

[Thunderbolt14]

It’s possible but then we are leaving 10 overs to a 65/75 bowler. It was okay in first class because if you look at the previous game, you only made sweep shot bowl 2.4 overs in the entirety of the second innings so we depended on 3 bowlers (me you jadeja)

@Thunderbolt14 pitch type konsi choose karein for our next match?

[Thunderbolt14]

Stick with spicy imo. It’s been working well for us. Same boost distribution. What do you think.

[Thunderbolt14]

Was thinking the same... why change a (winning ) combination

To be honest, I was thinking devilish actually. Because even in this current match, our all rounders are not coming into play. Might be risky... do you think it’s worth a try?

[Mueez]

Should be a good one worth a try imo.

[Thunderbolt14]

Should be a good one worth a try imo.

Thing is, it might backfire if our all rounders all get bundled out cheaply as if they were bowlers.

So how about this:
-devilish pitch
-super boost 3 batsmen (CadPakFan, ahmadharis1, ibrahim)

(All rounders will bowl well in any case because of the pitch type so no need to boost them)

The point of all of this is having fun, right? Let’s create some chaos

And yes let’s bowl first

Would be happy if we win a trophy but the fun is more important in these difficult times

Agreed to be honest I’m more happy we tied than won those last few matches as I laughed for 10 minutes on end with that last tie

By the way those reports of me stepping down were false. I want to carry on leading the Tigers and will do my best to lead us to victory.

Yaar kitni dafa kena parein ga: I hate to say it... - tough luck boys.

We have been very unlucky.

Our next match is against Loose Cannons.

These are the ground characteristics of their ground:

Bounce : High
Swing : High
Seam : Avg
Spin : Avg
Deterioration : Low

@Thunderbolt14 thinking to unleash Wasim and give you a boost. Also thinking to drop @StreetSmart for Kallis and Jadeja for @QalandarFan.

Tell me what you think about it.

[Thunderbolt14]

Done, let’s do it. IA we will get this first win.

[Thunderbolt14]

@Mueez bhai let’s put one or two of the bowlers in to open the innings and waste the new ball against the oppositions best bowlers.

Aside from that, feel free to go with whatever pitch you think is most suitable. I think we have put ourselves in a corner strategy wise since we didn’t expect the AR strategy to backfire so much. So maybe not road.

Baaki, we are supporting you and proud to serve under your inspiring leadership. We will make a comeback iA

Just wanted to echo the last paragraph and say we are grateful for your leadership. We are all in this together and only we, as a team, can turn it around now.

Time to roll the sleeves up.

Never back down!

[Mueez]

Important message coming up in an hour or two.

Stay tuned!

[Mueez]

First of all - I’m extremely sorry for the losses and tied matches. I know we have been very unlucky and I take full responsibility of the losses

I’m grateful for the support which you guys have given to me and special shout-out to all the active posters and especially to @Thunderbolt14

I think we need a complete overhaul.

So these are the things which I was thinking about:

- For our LO home matches we could go with spicy/dry pitches. Double boost one spin-AR and boost a proper batsman. We will replace an all-rounder with a proper spinner during mid-season break.

- Opening the batting with tailenders as @Thunderbolt14 suggested.

So the batting lineup could look like this:

Bowler
Bowler
85 skill rating
95 skill rating
95 skill rating
85 skill rating
85 skill rating
75 skill rating
65/55 skill rating
Bowler
Bowler

Or the second option: we don’t use any boosts in OD format and use the remaining 7 boosts for the T20s as other teams won’t have that much boosts left for the T20s and we could apply the boosts to our batsmen?

Let me know your thoughts on this.

I know we are in a bit of turmoil as a team. But one thing is guaranteed if we want to bounce back - we have to play as a team!

As our head coach Imran Khan says:

“It is not the defeat that destroys you; it is being demoralized by the defeat that destroys you.”

I’d like to know your input and thoughts about the upcoming matches and the strategy. Let’s do this.

#FightLikeCorneredTigers

[Thunderbolt14]

I think we should ditch first class since only the top 1 team wins (which is almost impossible for us to achieve now), and focus on ODI and T20 to sneak into the semi finals. It’s best to cut our losses quickly and focus on the formats that we can actually win.

This can be achieved if we use 3 boosts on ODI and 3 on T20 after midseason break.

Before midseason break, it’s as follows: we have 7 boosts remaining across 2 ODI and 5 T20 games.

If we split up the boosts 1/1 and 1/1/1/1/1, we would waste all 7 boosts and probably lose all the games. If we split 0/0 and 2/2/1/1/1 we would not achieve much of an advantage and have guaranteed losses in ODI. Therefore, we need to pick and choose which games are important to us.

We are currently in a more precarious situation in ODI — in T20, we can still afford to lose one or two games. Therefore, our “need” to sneak into the semifinals in ODI is much higher. We must win all remaining games and hope for some results to go our way ().

So let’s change the boost distribution as follows:

3/3 and 0/0/1/0/0.

Max chances of a comeback in ODI without sacrificing T20 too much.

Don’t worry about T20: other teams will only be using 1 boost on average, therefore we are not at much of a disadvantage. We will also have whitewashes after midseason break as we will be using 3 boosts per match which other teams will not be.

What do you think?

What do you think?

Yes I agree with you. Becoming FC champion is a bit impossible so we should focus on T20’s and OD’s.

I agree with your boost distribution - let’s do that!

Appreciate the input bro.

[Thunderbolt14]

we will come back stronger.

[Thunderbolt14]

Mubarak ho meray bhaiyyon! Under the stunning leadership of our skip @Mueez we have revived our inner Tigers. Sir astounding captaincy!

Not to forget unforgettable performances all round from our squad, crucial runs from the entire team and a stunning last over from sweep_shot with a four for to cap it off.

Double AR boost and single batsman boost. Dono ke saath open kartay hain followed by all 3 diamonds
