@jeetu, I think I need to understand better how the sim works so would appreciate your thoughts.

I know it has an element of randomness, but the 2 games that we lost - against Pindi and Cannons - we were the better team on paper on both occasions.

Take this Pindi game for example. Our bowling was 95, 85, 85, 75. Theirs was 95, 95, 75, 65.

Batting - We had two 95s and two 85s. They had one 95 less than us.

They were without one Diamond player as well.

Cannons dropped a diamond player against us too and still won.

Can you please throw some light on significantly weaker teams beating much stronger teams? Asking because if the randomness factor is this pronounced, then might as well not waste time planning anything.

Many thanks.

If you see carefully the difference is not significant enough. Any team with 2 95 skill performing player is good enough to beat a team with slightly higher skilled team say 3 95 skilled player.
However a team with one boost will have higher odds of beating no team with no boosts.

Its a well known fact that pitches barring normal , dry and spicy tend to mess up skill effect. The more extreme the pitch the better effect they have. On a devilish pitch a team with 1 boost would have about 33% chances of beating 3 boosted team.
You have been a pretty successful captain/vc in past. I don't think you can attribute that to just dumb luck. But luck does play a part. This game is still based on a game of dice. Odd are calculated at every ball.

This is probably the first time i have provided every single important detail regarding sim's database. There is no hidden surprise element this time around.

After mid season is it possible that boosts be announced after both teams have announced Line ups and toss call.

Currently if team A announce line up with boosts and toss call before team B, then team B gets additional benefit of announcing line up and boosts in accord to team A's line up.

I think boosts should be announced after both teams announce lineup and toss call.

[maddgenius]

Pindi also had 3 diamond bats + the one 95 and then bowling style also matters along with pitch and ground conditions.

No they were a diamond player short i.e. Major. But I agree with Jeetu, it doesn't make much difference. All teams were going to be equally strong this time around with no contracts etc unless a team messed up pretty bad like MU who are going with 5 bowlers every game.

That will just cause delay you still need to discuss boosts so people can just look at the team threads...

Yea you are right that’s why we are seeing such close games I suppose.

I see big potential here. Get him on board sirr!

[Watsupdoc]

Guys @SL_Fan will rise up the ranks very quickly at the academy

[SL_Fan]

I believe I can fly
I think I'm being chased by the FBI
All I wanted was to take the academy
From a Prius to a Maserati
I believe I can soar
I stole toilet paper from the grocery store
Got caught by the delivery guy
He shot me with his 45
I believe I could die
I believe I might not be able to fly
But until the day I die
I’m not going to testify

Screw the FBI Wakanda Forever! @shaz619

Picking Mo as the first draft pick remains chow’s greatest achievement to date. Aside from maybe inventing mexican food.

How would you like to join the Academy’s propaganda department

[maddgenius]

Wow Chow is back. Good to see you man @SL_Fan

[Smbhayi]

Welcome back captain saab.. I guess I'm the one who picks @Moh@n by the way

[Smbhayi]

BTW what happened to @Batsman e Azam? Is he banned or not?

[Mueez]

BTW what happened to @Batsman e Azam? Is he banned or not?

He got banned for what?

[Thunderbolt14]

Banned?

[Smbhayi]

He got banned for what?

I was asking .. He was super active in here and suddenly he disappeared..

[Abdullah719]

BTW what happened to @Batsman e Azam? Is he banned or not?

No.

[Moh@n]

Welcome back captain saab.. I guess I'm the one who picks @Moh@n by the way

You did? And then left us?

[Moh@n]

No.

Yeah he suddenly went MIA. Hope all is well with him.

[Moh@n]

Picking Mo as the first draft pick remains chow’s greatest achievement to date. Aside from maybe inventing mexican food.

I still remember that day when I was constantly refreshing the page to see which team would pick me. Such excitement

And all those elaborate plans! Wish I could see that old team thread again.

[Moh@n]

@maddgenius so the same plan for mid season changes that's already in place, right?

Still need to decide on the specific players whose roles will be changed but since nobody has showed up we can safely go and change anyone we like

Hope the deadlines are shorter this time, not like two weeks that we saw at the start of the season.

[Moh@n]

@Batman I think a couple of days deadline should be enough.

Atleast one team doesn't even have to plan anything, this is more like playing ludo for them it seems

[Smbhayi]

You did? And then left us?

I didn't, and other old team wasn't there after PPCL rebooted..

[SL_Fan]

Wow Chow is back. Good to see you man @SL_Fan

Sup G!

[SL_Fan]

Welcome back captain saab.. I guess I'm the one who picks @Moh@n by the way

Long time champ hope you're doing well. Oh hell nah don't try to steal Mo from me now

What a team we had eh

The way we ended TBI's tyrannical reign will forever go down as one of the greatest achievements of mankind.

You can't spell propaganda without c h o w. Full disclosure chow does have a fairly extensive criminal record.

[SL_Fan]

Truer words have never been spoken

Word on the streets is that even the supreme leader Kim Jong-un celebrated our win with a public holiday. We are legends Mo.

[Watsupdoc]

@Moh@n you should have chow join your time post mid-season

[SL_Fan]

@Moh@n you should have chow join your time post mid-season

Don't think I'll have the time bro

Chowie just trying to let out pent up energy on a Sunday night

Yeah that's the spirit! Just one final push and it will be such a good end to this season.

[Square Drive]

Tough luck @Moh@n @maddgenius, but really enjoyed the rivalry vs you guys. You guys were always the team to watch out for in my eyes - proven tacticians, and amazing with the plans. Hope to see you again next season - good luck moving forward!

Thanks and enjoy the trophy. Will be there to challenge you next season again.

I want to have Chow back @SL_Fan

Looking forward to it!

Not sure I'll be able to take on captaincy again. Last week or so since work has resumed it's been tough as it is but luckily the season was coming to an end anyway. Let's see when season 2 is.

Regardless, should be fun even playing as a player, if it comes to that.

[last_knight]

Well played @Moh@n @maddgenius
Assassins were the most methodical team of PPCL.
Kept losing with narrowest of margins. If PB had played 1 ball more in T20 round 10, you would have qualified for Semi and a shot at title. And if McGrath had managed to bowl 1 lesser wides in OD final.....

See you in next season.

Yeah man, such is life.

Us finishing runners up in both ODI and FC despite all those narrow losses is quite an achievement I believe.

Not sure if chow would be of any help but for you Mo will have a word with @jeetu
