Appoint Eth-Dog

[BILC]

So does this mean we have to find someone else to do it?

 

[Frodo]

Suppose I could do it to bring the season to a close.

4 games per week. same team for all 4 games. teams in by Monday or last teams used. Captains select pitches Monday for all games or random used.

 

[BILC]

Very authorative

 

[Moo]

I'm beginning to think we should just kill it and start again.

 

[Ljp86]

Award the Warriors the flag while you're at it.

 

[Fred]

Sim the whole lot in one hit with random pitches and post one round each day.

 

[Fred]

Very authorative

So what! Let's get the bloody thing finished. It doesn't matter who does it.

 

[Masten_Magic]

Hurry up seriously!!

 

[Moo]

Sim the whole lot in one hit with random pitches and post one round each day.

Agreed and seeming Fred and I are never wrong - who could argue with that,

 

[PowerIStough]

I could sim a 3 or 5 match 20/20 series.

My team on TAE (Central Bulldogs) vs BFCL All Stars (Best players). Thoughts? Might re-invent the competition on here, with some friendly banter.

I might be able to do a 20/20 series on here after that if its popular and if people like the 3/5 match series.

Thoughts?

20/20 sim is working aswell.

Example

0.1 The Big Krooz to Youngman, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.Edged and through the vacant third slip region. Just after the skipper had removed a man from that region. Don't you just hate that? One run. (1)
0.2 The Big Krooz to Shaunn, He didn't middle that, but there is enough power on it to get the batsmen three. (3)
0.3 The Big Krooz to Youngman, That's a single. (1)
0.4 The Big Krooz to Shaunn, Fired that one in full and on the offstump, the batsman can just squeeze it away to cover. No run. (0)
0.5 The Big Krooz to Shaunn, Swing and a miss. No run. (0)
0.6 The Big Krooz to Shaunn, Good short ball, the batsman is caught off guard and top edges it high in the air! The keeper is after it...he's runs hard...and the ball lands just after him! He drops a glove and hurls the ball in to keep the batsman to just a single. (1)

Thoughts?

I don't want to see this great league die or becoming inactive.

 

[cooney]

Sounds alright mate i reckon that could be a good concept

 

[BILC]

Sounds good to me

 

[Frodo]

Surely we can't have 26 rounds of 50 overs and finish it off with 10 rounds of 20/20. Even then it's 10 matches which takes 30 days min + finals.

I think Fred has to make a call here.

 

[Fred]

Priority should be to finish the one-dayers. Anything else can be sorted out then. Playing a 20/20 series amongst the one-day games would be too disruptive.
