[Sidcricfan]

Are the new players of CA i.e. players who signer up in season 2, playing against RoW in this match??

[King_Rizzy]

Nope. It's the team from Season 1, considering Season 2 contracts haven't been submitted yet.

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Rizzy, what's the plan with next offseason's draft? Do you think we'll get a turnout like this season?

[King_Rizzy]

Let's worry about next season when it comes. Let's start this one first!

[I Believe in the Teesra]

O also, will we be doing a murphysclaw challenge this season as well?

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Rizzy, thoughts on doing a PPCL Hall of Fame? In order to be eligible, you have to have participated for at least a certain number of seasons and players/a panel elect whether you can get in based on how active you were / stats / contribution etc.

[King_Rizzy]

It's something we can consider for the future. Too early yet.

[iZeeshan]

Rizzy, what about my suggestion of giving the best 3 batsman and bowlers (overall) 3, 2, 1 boosts in average?

I think performances from last year should be rewarded.

Or maybe just 2 points for each best OD and FC batsman and bowler (1 for 2nd bests)?

No Response?

Nah, otherwise they'll just be standout again this year. I think having just one person with an average boost is more than enough, which will be the person who wins the ML Run Challenge.

[I Believe in the Teesra]

I just googled Bradistan and this was one of the definitions from urban dictionary -

Slang for Bradford. used mainly by white people to show the massive amount of muslim/asian people in the community

[King_Rizzy]

You only just realised...???

It's not used by white people lol It's used by us Pakistani's. I don't know who wrote that in urban dictionary.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Yep definitely only used by Pakistani's

[Fireworks11]

Bradford ends are ghetto.

When are the matches starting?

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Rizzy, will match threads be up today>?

[shahidafridi123]

Hopefully, can't wait to start

[iHammad]

I think someone should make a Round by Round prediction thread, where all the PPCLers can predict the outcome of all the matches.

And see who had the most accurate predictions at the end of the season.

[I Believe in the Teesra]

I like the idea. Start with week 2 matches possibly?

[iHammad]

Why? Start with week 1, make the thread right now.

Would be good fun

[iHammad]

Instead of people making little predictions in the match threads, why not make it a fun game. Might generate some more banter as well

[Watsupdoc]

Why don't you start thread yourself then? What's stopping you?

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Only reason is it would delay the season till tuesday because from now till tomorrow might be hard for all members to make their predictions. Well nevermind, FC is 4 days so it won't matter.

Yea lets go for it.

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Any thoughts on this replacing murphysclaw challenge? We would need to wait for Rizzy though.

[Inswinger]

Originally Posted by Watsupdoc Why don't you start thread yourself then? What's stopping you?

Our attitude when it comes to doing things yourself.

"If one can do it, let him do it. If no one can do it, how can i do it?"

[iZeeshan]

I agree.

Pick two games from every round, one FC, one OD, let everyone pick their winner

[iHammad]

Originally Posted by iZeeshan I agree. Pick two games from every round, one FC, one OD, let everyone pick their winner

How would we decide that though?

I was thinking that people should pick for every match.

[Pakistaniboy]

Originally Posted by iHammad How would we decide that though? I was thinking that people should pick for every match.

It would be real mess IMO.

But Lets See What Rizzy Says.

Im up for the "Match Of The Week" Predictions.

[I Believe in the Teesra]

Originally Posted by Pakistaniboy It would be real mess IMO. But Lets See What Rizzy Says. Im up for the "Match Of The Week" Predictions.

Match of the week would be best and easiest to manage.

Like for this week,

the two prime time games (Non Bias)

are

DD vs Outlawz and Bulls vs Cats

Pick 1 and everyone makes predictions.

[Watsupdoc]

Originally Posted by Inswinger Our attitude when it comes to doing things yourself. "If one can do it, let him do it. If no one can do it, how can i do it?"

That's very true sir. That's how us Pakistanis are

[iZeeshan]

I mean, every week does have some key match ups.

In FC, I think it's without a doubt DD & Outlawz cuz of DV, me, WiiiCKET, NJ

In OD, I haven't seen them but I'm sure there's one that's most important

Rizzy can decide

[WiiiCKET]

Or Rizzy just give a random name of a player every time before the match, so we could predict his/her scores.

[Pakistaniboy]

Good Idea Too.

[I Believe in the Teesra]

I think picking teams might spice things up and intensify some rivalries.

[iHammad]

Exactly.

[Square Drive]

Hey Rizzy, does my +3 boost only last for season 2? Or does it stay forever (I think it's the former, but just asking to make sure)?

[King_Rizzy]

Only for Season 2.

[King_Rizzy]

I really really like this idea. Very easy to manage.

[shahidafridi123]

^ Yeah it's a very good idea.

[Sidcricfan]

Would be fun.

[Sidcricfan]

Will the poster who has the most no. of correct predictions, get a boost in the average?

[King_Rizzy]

Originally Posted by sidcricfan Will the poster who has the most no. of correct predictions, get a boost in the average?

There'll probably be some sort of points table like the ML Run Challenge. Let's see what everyone else says first.

This idea is the easiest for me.

[Ibad17]

i also agree with the individual prediction stuff..

[Sidcricfan]

Ok. Maybe Rizzy can name 1 player each from both teams and then we have to predict the score.

[murphyslaw79]

I still have 5 games left in the season. we could run a joint runs and wicket competition.

E.g. I score 50 and take 3 wickets.

Total score : 65 (5 runs per wicket)

Or we could run 2 competitions. 1 for bowlers and 1 for batsmen.

For the bowlers, they will have to predict how many wickets i will get

For the batsmen, same as usual, how many runs i get.

Whoever wins, gets the boost for season 3.

[Ibad17]

two competitions will make it complex..

[Amjid Javed]

Why is there no DRS being used?

Also can we have some decent umpires for this series?

[King_Rizzy]

Thing is, 5 weeks isn't really long enough.

[King_Rizzy]

Sim doesn't have DRS.

As for umpires, they were just random people picked off the streets

Wickets will be too easy to predict. Firstly you only have 11 possible choices ( 0-10) secondly its quite unlikely (no offence bro!) that you will pick up 7-8-9-10 wickets in an innings, meaning we have really only got a choice between 0-5.

[Pakistaniboy]

I think you should go with the Player Predictions like,

How many runs will King Rizzy Score This Match or How many wickets will Wi iCKET take?

[Pakistaniboy]

Day 2 Today?

[King_Rizzy]

Unlikely.

[Pakistaniboy]

none taken and valid point made

however if you run it alongside the runs competition, then it adds some spice to it. so 1 wicket = 5 runs.

but then again 5 weeks is not long enough.

Rizzy saving money as usual

[iZeeshan]

I think we need another day to keep everyone interested

[Ibad17]

how about finishing 4 day match in 3 days with posting 4 sessions per day..

[iZeeshan]

^anything for more cricket in one day

[iHammad]

We want moar

[Ibad17]

its almost the next day in Pakistan so we want day 2. At least Rizzy post the first session of day 2 before going to long break of 12 hours as he normally do..

[King_Rizzy]

Anyone who participated in Season 1 will know there is always a point in an FC match where I post two whole days (6 sessions) of the match in a single day. Today is not that day. It probably won't be tomorrow either. It'll be the day after by the looks of things, meaning you'll get Day 3 & 4 in a single day.

[King_Rizzy]

Badsha, the ex-captain of Big Cats, is undergoing the PP Members Interview next.

Here's you chance to ask him questions about the man himself. Go to this thread and fire away (but don't ask solely PPCL questions):

I guess we get the remaining days tomorrow.
