I dont see how that strengths the batting brother.
In FC i very unlikely a batting all rounder will change the game.

And if you are talking about Limited overs then even the batsman in the D's or bowlers can score runs. If your top order fails then its most likely the whole team will fail in ODi's

[aneeq7]

I liked being a Bowling A/R actually, but if that is really not needed than it's allright for me to change into a off-spinner or medium-pacer, i'd prefer Left-arm medium fast though.

[iZeeshan]

Originally Posted by Boi I put that more down to his negative affect before matches. The team discussions were unfortunately more on yours and his differences rather than the actual match strategy. If you're looking to prioritise FC then those contracts are fine and should work well. But there's also two other formats we're going to be playing and I'm not sure whether that strategy will work well on ODs and more importantly T20s, where the 6th bowler is very important. With the contracts below, we'll have a more balanced squad for other formats too: A: iZeeshan, Sully B: Legend Killer, Genghis, Boi, Aneeq C: Leatherface, Typical Stroke, Green Leopard, Dhump, Rana D: PakPassionate, ShahidRazzaq, Desi, Gotham Cronie, Anyone else. E: The rest. *Changes taken into consideration, whilst selecting above contracts: Typical Stroke to Off Spinner. Aneeq to Medium Pace Legend Killer to Pure Fast Bowling AR OD's & T20: 42/99 40/99 50/99 46/99 50/99 35/32 26/32 12/21 12/21 9/24 9/24 FC: 42/99 40/99 50/99 46/99 50/99 38/99 38/99 or 35/32 12/21 12/21 9/24 9/24 This would be my suggestion. Rest is up to you bro.

Ok so this is Boi's suggestion. Everyone knows my suggestion, where I stand and why.

I think we should take the opinions of other team members and see where that goes.

With my contracts, I think we'd be set for FCs and ODs are honestly a toss-up and we wouldn't be too much worse off. T20 sim is an absolute joke and I don't really care for it - the most random thing I've ever seen. We see bowlers that average 15 go for 45 runs and 35 take 5 wickets, so I'm not really sure what to make of it.

It gotta be an off spinner if you wanna play ALL games bro. If not, I can change you into a left arm medium or medium fast and left hand bowling all-rounder and TS into the spinner.

Up to you.

*If we go with my contracts of course, but we really have to decide the changes, like, now.

[Boi]

^ nah, changes should only be finalised when the contracts are finalised.

The only 2 things i cracked about the T20 sim was that Spinners always do well on it no matter what and that if you have a batting average of 25-40 and your an A/R you will do well no matter what.
Everytime I camed at 3/4 I scored 40+

[iZeeshan]

But yaar, changes are due Friday and we need to get people to confirm too.

We could be in a lot of trouble lol

So Rana, TS, PakPassionate will be perfect for that

but being a left-arm medium fast bowler won't make me play all matches, right?

[aneeq7]

Originally Posted by iZeeshan But yaar, changes are due Friday and we need to get people to confirm too. We could be in a lot of trouble lol

I was thinking that all day today. TS is not one of the most active ones in this team.

[aneeq7]

Originally Posted by iZeeshan So Rana, TS, PakPassionate will be perfect for that

Maybe, just perfect enough. I've got high hopes that we will win 1 of the three formats.

[iZeeshan]

Not if we go with my strategy and you're an all-rounder

And yes TS hasn't been around in a while, maybe we should make Rana the A/R and TS into something else?

IDK.

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Guys ask me ask me!

[aneeq7]

Originally Posted by iZeeshan Not if we go with my strategy and you're an all-rounder And yes TS hasn't been around in a while, maybe we should make Rana the A/R and TS into something else? IDK.

anyways, I think Rana needs to be PMed
a long side with Desi (bichaarey ko kisi ne welcome PM bhi nahi di)

[iZeeshan]

I'm hoping Genghis will come by again and compare the two contracts.

At this point, that will be the final call.

Then I will submit the changes.

[aneeq7]

Remember to make me LHB -

I think TS, Desi, PakPassionate and Rana just need to be PMed again.

[Genghis]

I've PMed Desi.

So what is it that we've decided?

[aneeq7]

^

Player Changes:

Aneeq -> Pure Off-spinner & LHB
Typical Stroke -> Bowling A/R - LH bat/LM

[Gotham Cronie]

Guys, I've already started living the lifestyle of a "B" player.....would hate to be making "C" money when the bills come due...

[freelance_cricketer]

Bruce Wayne runs Gotham


Batman just protects it.

[iZeeshan]

Originally Posted by Genghis I've PMed Desi. So what is it that we've decided?

Genghis, if you could please, review my contract proposal and Boi's.

[sully3]

i have read both Bois and iZee contracts, they are both quiet similar

Though Zeeshans favours FC cricket where as Boi's is more suited to limited overs

i prefer Zeeshans line up for me its more balanced especially with the 2 pure spinners our bowling will be potent. Spinners do exceptionally well in T20's

my vote is iZeeshans line up, others can also vote

[SOSami]

Guys, my advice to you lot is to aim low. Aim so low that no-one will notice if you fail.

That is the only way you will keep your dignity once the Feline phainty starts.

[dhump]

to be honest hard for me to say what I have read and seen both suggestions seems logical to me with its pros and cons so what ever majority decides, I am a bit too un exp at the moment to vote for any of the posted suggestions.

[iZeeshan]

Originally Posted by SOSami Guys, my advice to you lot is to aim low. Aim so low that no-one will notice if you fail. That is the only way you will keep your dignity once the Feline phainty starts.

Wait till we take your pies for 4 boundaries every over.

[iZeeshan]

I'll wait for Genghis.

If there's nothing, I'll go with my line up in the morning.

Does that sound fair?

[dhump]

Originally Posted by iZeeshan I'll wait for Genghis. If there's nothing, I'll go with my line up in the morning. Does that sound fair?

If morning is deadline for doing so then fair enough, if not then there is no harm to get another bit of advice.

[Genghis]

I really think iZeeshan's idea is an attacking option. It is certainly risky as we are potentially making it a long tail, but by strengthening our bowling it could mean we don't need that tail anyways. I think of it like a proper test team - you would rather have set batsmen-bowlers rather than part-timers. Obviously one dayers/T20s is a different story, but by the sounds of it, we can play some of our D contracted players in those games as all-rounders.

I'm leaning towards iZeeshan, but I can see where Boi is coming from. In the end, you guys are more experienced with this sim than any of us, so we can only say what we think might help.

[iZeeshan]

Boi is very experienced with the SIM and I take his advice with a lot of value, but there are also 3 other people who think this way might be better.

I want to go this way, because we did not last season, and we'd be virtually doing the same thing. I want to try something new. Honestly, our batting would be so strong, that I doubt we need the all-rounders.

I agree that the 5th and 6th bowling options are weak, but at home we can play on flat pitches and win almost all those games, iA. We can win a few away too. Plus not to mention, a bowling attack with low averages should take lots of wickets and pick up bonus points, as well as being batting heavy should have us scoring 350-400 each time.

So now I will submit the changes:

Aneeq -> Off Spinner
Typical Stroke -> LH Bat/Left Arm Medium

We can always submit a third change later in the day because it will be with an active person, so it should get confirmed quickly.

We can either change someone into a lefty batsman (dhump, GC) OR change Rana into a fast/medium fast bowling all rounder, or that he'll bowl slow left arm spin. Or even make TS the fast medium, and Rana the medium.

Rana, if you see this post, please let me know if you'd be okay with changing. Same goes for Typical Stroke bhai.

[iZeeshan]

I have submitted Typical Stroke as into a Left Arm Medium, Left Hand Bat, however, our changes won't be confirmed unless both Aneeq (into an offspinner) and TS both accept.

If Rana comes by tomorrow, we'll consider changing him into TS's position, and then TS into something else.

TS hasn't been around for a while, and I don't remember seeing Rana today. Maybe PakPassionate will come by and beat everyone. Or maybe it'll be desi. But right now, it's TS getting the all rounder position.

What's your final lineup? I'll provide advice

[dhump]

[sully3]

the changes have been made the contracts are don and dusted now let the games begin. We are coming for you Freelance !

[sully3]

iZeeshan me and you made the ROW team for the charity match against Assassins

[dhump]

please post the final list with roles so I can have a bit of fun with it.

[sully3]

Fellow DD teammates like Team bring it shall we have Dhump design us some tseam hirts with each of our name and number on the back, so we can have it in the OP

[dhump]

forget about copying trends we create new I have some ideas we will do better.

[sully3]

Good man

for now 99% of the squad is confirmed buddy, look at the contracts post iZeeshan made and you will see the team members

[iZeeshan]

I think we might need to send out a PM to Typical Stroke/Rana one last time to see if they'll show up or not

We need these changes confirmed!

[aneeq7]

Originally Posted by iZeeshan I think we might need to send out a PM to Typical Stroke/Rana one last time to see if they'll show up or not We need these changes confirmed!

Ask KR to PM them.

[sully3]

If assassins win this match against ROW it might be worth having a look at their contracts structure to see how they are doing as they priorities FC and are the best team in that format.

[Genghis]

Have Typical Strokes and Rana shown up or do they still need a PM?

[iZeeshan]

Neither of them have shown up

DOn't even know if they've been online

[aneeq7]

Sorry guys, was busy.. Got a new mobile (SamsungGalaxy III)

and yeah, i think you should PM TS/Rana, Genghis.

[Genghis]

Alright, I've PMed them.

By the way guys, we should update our first post in this thread as it's still got the old team. Can someone make a post with the entire team (name and playing position - let's not put contract stuff), team logo and possibly jersey.

Just make this our opening post for now *pending changes*, and change the logo please, I'm not sure where it is.

[aneeq7]

The Logo.. change it.

[Rana]

Here i am guys!

[iZeeshan]

Rana is here! What a guy, okay Rana, do you mind being our premier fast bowling allrounder?

Changing into a left hand bat, left medium or medium fast?

Also GUYS, this means we'll have to use a 3rd change to change Typical Stroke into what Rana was, but right now we can't take any chances.

[aneeq7]

Here's the link of it.

Whatever the skipper needs me to be i shall become, just keep guiding me thats all.

[aneeq7]

Great to have Rana here.

Why can't we make TS into right-arm fast medium pure bowler?

[iZeeshan]

Originally Posted by Rana Whatever the skipper needs me to be i shall become, just keep guiding me thats all.

Ok great and do you plan on being active bro?

Please visit the changes thread soon, after you answer this. I will submit the changes.

Aneeq, because we already have AoP. We need a slow left arm bowler as well (for T20s, which Rana would have served with his off spin but since we're changing him cuz he's more active than TS, then we need that as well)

[iZeeshan]

New Proposed changes:

Aneeq - Pure Offspinner

Rana - Bowling All-rounder (Left hand bat, left arm medium)

Typical Stroke - Bowling All-rounder (Left hand bat, slow left arm)

[aneeq7]

Looks good. I've already confirmed my change so forget that, Rana aswell. All about TS now. I hope he comes online.

[Rana]

Ill be heavily active once the buzzer goes off, or as soon as you unleash me.

[aneeq7]

I hope you get a good contract Rana. I feel sorry for those who are active but still don't get to play most matches.

[NJamal]

Your bowling looks worst than India's.

[DeadlyVenom]

So is your skipper opening this year for definite, or more hiding in lower order to get not outs and boost your average

[NJamal]

he was the best middle order batsman in the league there was no point in him opening.... If it aint broke don't fix it.

And this season you have me and iZee to deal with, i predict a riot with our bats !

[iZeeshan]

Aneeq, I think we should seriously consider giving the legspinner a B and the off spinner a C, based on last season.

However, I'll only do it if you're okay with it.

[aneeq7]
