Hey PB, you forgot me. I was up there too, and I am one of our strongest still at 240k.

I did forget you and roo boys also from back then. You also hadn't posted since August last year so I feel kinda justified in not naming you now ;)

That is fair. :P But then again, I was planning a wedding and everything else that was happening. :P


Won my Round 6 PC game last night. Should be a difficult game this Sunday against Muff and his Realism Ravens. Can both rate similar.



Result:   Shagglesburyingtonworth CC won by 126 runs
Toss:   Ruff Royals won the toss and elected to bowl.
Man of the match:   Owen Free (3 points), Talib Mir (2), Nadir Hobson (1)

Ended up in the negatives again (mfw) so I put up a dude with like 20k wages (I legit didn't even noticed how high it was tbh) for sale.

the academy upgrades are happening.

the academy upgrades are happening.

What are these upgrades you speak of?!

[Torpedo10]

Well, unfortunately it looks like Division Two for me next season in OD,

A little disappointing but at least it'll give my bank balance an injection and I should be back here in a season.

[DazBurg]

wow i wonder what happened with Mcneuk
i know they said he decided to leave/quit but i have no idea what sparked it all

The news item I believe :-\

Mini rebuild a chance? Get a player or two in that 23/24yo range where you have a hole? Obviously only if you do actually relegate, despite my form I'm not sold on surviving just yet.

I think torps issue is the next lineup. Needs more players in the 25-27 bracket

[PowerBug]

I see the lack of 27yo there, and only 5 25 or 26yos. So yeah that's a fair point.


Meanwhile the only such management troubles at PowerBugCC are the following:

1) Pick one of the following to keep through seniors
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=1716569
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=1706572
For almost the entire time I've been sold on keeping Hafiz and selling Paleel, but Paleel has a pretty good case to put forward. I like the dual talent and the XP lead (4k spares too). But Hafiz and a Finisher could be deadly! Maybe I'll hold onto both :-\


2) Picking 5 bowlers which will get me my 6th consecutive SOD win. Hot/Slow most likely, and the selection is a nightmare right now :( Hopefully the weather or pitch go elsewhere.

You might need a mini rebuild as well. Once you lose the older fellas, your next XI isn't quiet ready for the high divs

Rebuilds don't happen at my clubs, I just go out trying to win every game possible! I honestly thought I was relegating this season, but I've won my last 5 in SOD and Torp fell to bits so I should survive now unless I go really bad again and he goes well.

If you look at my 4 wins (1 was against an almost bot so doesn't count) my best thre players by fantasy points:
Byrd 29, Lwana 30, Madu 23
Madu 23, Maloney 26, Aronstam 31
Lwana 30, Aronstam 31, Roach 31
Livera 25, Bitwott 30, Al-Attiyah 27
The younger guys are performing, and performance is what will keep me in Div 1 ;) Lwana and Bitwott will be useful for next season anyway, and then hopefully half of season 32.

Just out of interest, where do you see my holes? If you sort my squad number you can see my squad breakdown. 16 Bats, 31 fast, 41 fm, 51 meds, 61 fs, 71 ws, 81 ARs, 91 Keepers.

[Torpedo10]

My batsmen will be no issue, but I may need to buy another bowler until my 21-22yos become superstars of my squad.  ;)

I won't be going down in T20 at least.
