The Official Punjab Panthers Thread

[Mohsin]

Welcome to the official Punjab Panthers thread, where you will be able to keep up to date with all the latest news regarding not only Punjab Panthers progress in the inaugural PakPassion PPL, but also the up to date news about the team itself.

The owner of the Punjab Panthers is Mohsin_Pak786 with the co-owner Plasma.
Both have a rich form of experience on PakPassion and look forward to leading Punjab Panthers to victory in the PPL.

The Punjab squad is:

Mohsin_Pak786*- Right arm bowling all-rounder, first change bowler
Plasma- Batting all-rounder (leg-spinner)
Goldbrain- Right arm fast bowler
Veggito1- Left arm fast bowler
MCMLXXXII- Specialist opening batsman
12th Man- Specialist middle order batsman
Geordie Ahmed- Specialist middle order batsman and top class wicket-keeper
Toony™®- Right arm fast bowler
Boi- Left handed swing bowler, middle order batsman
Cars112- Left handed middle order batsman

Dale Steyn- Fiery opening fast bowler
Graeme Smith- Smashing opening batsman
Andrew Symonds- Hard hitting all-rounder
Albie Morkel- Zulu all-rounder (next Lance Klusener!)
Mahendra Singh Dhoni- Smashing wicket-keeper batsman
David Hussey- Hugely talented batsman on par if not better then his brother, very under-rated
Ajanta Mendis- HUGELY promising right arm slow bowler, looking to fill Murali's boots!

It is felt, that this squad has an exceptional balance of players which bring various important aspects of the game to the team which will in turn help to pose a very serious challenge to other teams and in the end win the inaugural PakPassion PPL!

For any help, queries or suggestions do not hesitate to get in touch with either myself or Plama bhai, and we'll try and get back to you ASAP

[Plasma]

Well PZ, the first thing is that we have to determine the positions of all the players in the team before Monday.
Its basivally a simulation of the matches with the players, and the legend will be doing the simulation of all the matches, with the first match beginning on Monday

[Mohsin]

What position do you play? Bowler or batsman, what position would u prefer to bat at etc?

[Boi]

Wel ima left arm swing bowler and a right handed middle order batsmen!!

[Mohsin]

^^
Excellent, done!!

[Mercenary]

I cant really bat and I cant really bowl. So I guess right handed opening bowler who can smash a few out of the park

[161]

I was going for 12th man but I think 12th man already has that position down.

So put me down as a fast bowler I guess ... BTW I have no Idea what this is about ?

[Mohsin]

Basically i 'bid' for you domestic players to be part of this team in the inaugural PakPassion PPL cricsim league

Originally Posted by Mercenary I cant really bat and I cant really bowl. So I guess right handed opening bowler who can smash a few out of the park

lol koi baat nahi, welcome to the team!

Originally Posted by kashif77 I was going for 12th man but I think 12th man already has that position down. So put me down as a fast bowler I guess ... BTW I have no Idea what this is about ?

The man whose gonna lift the spirits of the team!

Dont worry mate you dont have to. If you want you can go through the cricsim threads in the cricket thread as well as the PP leagues thread
Welcome also!!

You can come back to the thread to keep upto date with the goings on of the team and the tournament etc

[Mohsin]

Btw, have we got any budding Kamran Akmal's or MS Dhoni's out there?
The WK slot is still up for grabs...

[MCMLXXXII]

I am a specialist batsman and usually open. I am not a hard hitting batsman and rely mostly on singles and doubles and playing in the gaps and rotate the strike.

[Goldbrain]

Okay I think I put myself for Punjab, I have no idea what to do next.

I am a RFM bowler with some time hit the ball for boundary, most likely get out at number 10 or 11 position

[Mohsin]

Thanks for replying guys

[Mohsin]

The team will be picked once all users have replied and stated their positions...

[SameerM]

[Mohsin]

Yeah i do that if they dont reply, but with my first game on Tuesday against u guys( ) there's more then enough time for a reply

We'll see...

[muhammad saad]

I would like to join if there still any space left.

[iZeeshan]

I love how people want to sign up AFTER we plan it and draft...

[MCMLXXXII]

I never even signed up and didn't even know what this was about (I still don't know what this is about). However not only was I picked, I was the first pick for my team! My reputation certainly precedes me.

This squad is great guys! we will annihilate everyone! Lets show some team spirit! The panthers will roar and strike the jugular of all our opponents.

[Mohsin]

Thats the spirit!!!!!!!!!!

Though i would like to point out that no-one is guaranteed a place in the playing XI

[Mohsin]

Sorry the drafting period has finished, i'm not allowed to put anyone who has signed up too late into the squad

Originally Posted by iZeeshan I love how people want to sign up AFTER we plan it and draft...

lol true. More people have shown interest in this since we made out team threads then when we were 'advertising' in the cricsim thread!

[iZeeshan]

YOu're all going down to the Khanjars.

[Vegitto1]

Left-arm fast opening bowler

No.11 batsman

[Plasma]

Im a batsman, and can bowl some off spin. Middle Order would be first but i don't mind playing down the order a bit.

Also, Mohsin, maybe you should make a rules/tut post on this. Im very sure it would clear up a lot of questions by people.

[Plasma]

Aheh, ahem...

Welcome aboard, i hope you don't mind being picked without getting a notice.

Also, has 12thman posted yet? Im sure he would want to be 12thman, but we should talk to him still.

[Mohsin]

Yep Plama, i'll send another message to 12thMan and give him a polite reminder.
As for the rules and regulations (like the other managers) i dont know much about cricsim itself but i've created a Q&A forum where the questions can be answered

[Straight Bat]

We willl be watching your first game. We will be taking notes. We will be making plans.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Sorry for the late replies guys

Frankly i havnt the foggiest what this is about BUT anyways im a specialist batsman - occasionaly i can turn my arm over and shock the opposition into gifting me a wicket

[Mohsin]

I'm expecting some toe crushing yorkers from you!



Oh and try to build up a rivalry with 1 of ur team mates

[FAM]

Please pick your final XI and mention at least 5 bowlers that you want to bowl in the match, as soon as possible.

Dale Steyn

Alright, we have no spinner for some reason. I guess my off spin would be the only spin option. The rest are all seam bowlers.

Mohsin how does the team look? and i challenged you for a friendly.

[Plasma]

Originally Posted by Mohsin_Pak786 Sorry bout the late reply FAM, just logged on now Well here's the Punjab team for todays match: :younis :younis :younis

mohsin how about MCMLXXXII instead of 12thman? Or do the runs for a poster count? and put me in for some overs, we need a spin option. The rest are all pace bowlers.

[Mohsin]

I think the posts count. I'm gonna rotate the squad so everyone will have a go (and i mean a real go not just the odd game here and there )
I just thought with this being the first game, i'd go with experience to get Punjab to a strong start...

As for the spin option, no worries mate. Are we going with my team or yours?

[Plasma]

Its good then ,your team, just allot me some overs!

[Plasma]

Did FAM go poof? load shedding?

[FAM]

Few things:
1) Posts don't count
2) Except International players, all specialist batsmen start with 35 batting average, specialist bowlers start with 15 batting average and 30 bowling average, batting allrounders start with 30 batting average and 40 bowling average, bowling allrounders start with 25 batting average and 35 bowling average. Your averages will off course change after every match, and can be seen through a link on the main thread.
3) Bowling orders: It's up to the computer to decide the bowling order, and If there are more than 5 bowlers, then it's likely that not everyone will get to bowl. It's not possible to follow the bowling order unless you are controlling a team, which would be cheating, and you can only control only one team in the simulator.

Here is your team though. Let me know if you have any questions about the stats:

Graeme Smith
Batting Hand: Left

I think Geordie should be promoted to one down, he is in form. I will move to two down.

1.Graeme Smith (Opening batsman)
2. MCMLXXXII (Opening batsman)
3. Geordie Ahmed (wk) (Middle-order batsman)
4. Plasma(vc) (Middle-order batsman)
5. Andrew Symonds (Middle-order batsman)
6. Mohsin_Pak786 (c) (Bowling all-rounder)
7. Andrew Flintoff (Right arm fast bowler)
8. Boi (Left handed swing bowler, lower order batsman)
9. Veggito1 (Left arm fast bowler)
10. Goldbrain (Right arm fast bowler)
11. Dale Steyn (Fiery opening fast bowler)

1st Bowler: Dale Steyn
2nd Bowler:Andrew Flintoff
3rd Bowler: Mohsin_Pak786
4th Bowler: Plasma
5th Bowler: Veggito1 (2 overs)
6th Bowler: Goldbrain (2 overs)

and thats only 44 overs. How about we rest Steyn? His average is 35 while Boi's is 29?

Discuss.

[FAM]

That would be 1am 24th June for me. Yeah, sure, no problems.

[Plasma]

That works for me as well, 2pm!

Well scheduled!

[Boi]

Originally Posted by FAM That would be 1am 24th June for me. Yeah, sure, no problems.

if its not right time for u bro then do it at a time u can and at a time that wont bother you!!

I was only asking if you could do it at the time i wanted but if u cant then you dont have to bro!!!

but after ur reaction it seems like your good with it!!

Thank you a lot

[FAM]

Yeah, that's ok. I will just write the match updates in advance and post them.

And please no changing of teams after they are finalized by captain. =) It's because I enter the teams and simulate the matches as soon as the captains post their teams.

And by the way, averages of International players don't change, so that's an advantage of having good International players in your team. Only PP members' averages change.

[Plasma]

Have you simulated it already?

[FAM]

Yeah.

[Plasma]

Damn.

[Mohsin]

I played Boi, i posted the proper team in this thread
http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/sh...1&postcount=12

The next match we can rest Styen and give Boi a proper bowl (sorry mate, dont worry i see your average Mr Akra..................i mean Boi )

Since the match has been simulated, we can talk about next match, yes??

As for the overs, well LOL i thought it was a T20 tournament, hence the 2 overs each

[Plasma]

But no problem. I hope we win. If we can get this game then it will be hard for others to catch up. We are already top of the table.

[Boi]

Goldbrain Bowled Fantastically Well Today!!!

[Plasma]

Good game guys!
Goldbrian was awesome!

The rest did their job as well, if not with the bat then with he ball or fielding! All the bowlers were economical and picked up wickets are crucial times!

[Mohsin]

Good game guys, great stuff well done!

So thats 2 out of 2, excellent!
http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/sh...46&postcount=6

[Plasma]

Punjab Team has a 5 day rest. Good for us and it will give us time to plan.

One thing for sure is that GA, should more to 3, Symonds at 4 and Plasma at 5. It will prevent a collapse and will give Plasma a chance to regain his brilliant form when batting with two in form batsmen.

Also our bowlers are very good, we have 5 who's averages are under 30. Which is good since that will provide 4 pacers and a spin option.

Drop Styen i say.

[Mohsin]

1. Graeme Smith (Opening batsman)
2. 12thMan (Opening batsman)
3. Geordie Ahmed (wk) (Middle-order batsman)
4. Plasma(vc) (Middle-order batsman)??????????????????????????
5. Andrew Symonds (Middle-order batsman)???????????????????
6. Mohsin_Pak786 (c) (Bowling all-rounder)??????????????????
7. Andrew Flintoff (Right arm fast bowler)
8. Boi (Left handed swing bowler, lower order batsman)
9. Veggito1 (Left arm fast bowler)
10. Goldbrain (Right arm fast bowler)
11. Dale Steyn (Fiery opening fast bowler)

1st Bowler: Andrew Flintoff
2nd Bowler: Dale Steyn
3rd Bowler: Mohsin_Pak786/Plasma?????????????????????????
4th Bowler: Boi
5th Bowler: Veggito1
6th Bowler: Goldbrain

I’m thinking of giving you a rest with the bowling so that you can concentrate fully on your batting (so it’ll probably be better in regards to your batting performance :-) ) Also with their bowling attack its likely to be a green juicy pitch with not much in it for the spinners, BUT if you wanna bowl, then no worries, just say mate.
Also the thing with having GA and Symonds batting at 3 and 4 is that there's no compensation in case of a collapse (like we saw today with Symonds). If you want, i'll come up the order at 4 and you can come at 6 if you wanna bat later...
I didn’t bowl in the last match against MM, so if you have no qualms can i bowl in this match?
We’re playing a strong team in the Lahore Leopards so I’ll give Steyn one more game before giving him a rests against Rawalpindi. I also bought back 12thMan because of the bowling attack Lahore have (Shoaib, Lee, Sami!).
??????????????????????????????????

We can drop Steyn and accommodate both of us bowling...

[Goldbrain]

I just found out I am good with the old ball as new ball. I never bowled number 6 before, always open in every single match. Thank you Kaptaan Sahab, hope you have seen my ability with the ball and hoping in next match will get a chance to show you, what I can do with the new ball

Congrates

[Geordie Ahmed]

Have to say this is great fun - we are playing very well as a team and we have a brilliant captain

BTW who are our next opponents?

Well you and I both have the same average currently. I think it would be best if we promote Flintoff above Symonds and bring me under him. You can be after me and that will give us time to get back to form and we wont be risking too much up the order.

Yes you can bowl this game! My average is 25 so i can be used on another pitch which would be more helpful.

Another thing, Flintoff hasn't taken any wickets. Even on this green pitch. Do you want to let him continue or should we play another bowler?

I say this with the current line up,
1. Graeme Smith (Opening batsman)
2. 12thMan (Opening batsman) we could use MCM, he has an average of 38.
3. Geordie Ahmed (wk) (Middle-order batsman)
4. Andrew Flintoff (Right arm fast bowler)
5. Plasma(vc) (Batting All-rounder)
6. Andrew Symonds (Middle-order batsman)
7. Mohsin_Pak786 (c) (Bowling all-rounder)
8. Boi (Left handed swing bowler, lower order batsman)
9. Veggito1 (Left arm fast bowler)
10. Goldbrain (Right arm fast bowler)
11. Dale Steyn (Fiery opening fast bowler)
