I'm through after a hard fought win. Should hopefully win next week and the week after if I play it right.
Opponent next week rated 116k ;D.
Possible Round 3 opponent rated either 129k (beat 138k rated team) or a 124k rated team (who beat the 206 seed with a rating of 159k :o :o)
WTH HP :o :o
You will get a bit of money HP.
Assuming he wins both it's 25k. 10 if he gets through next week

+ gate takings....
Here's hoping!!!
I couldn't believe it either Alex!!! I mean that's a MASSIVE upset. Think it got some attention over in their PC upset thread in their forum. My match counted as I beat a seed for my first win in the PC :D.
Some nice added experience also for my Seniors :).
BP is as good as in.
Might have 3 of Hello's Killer Bees into round 2 of the PC ;D ;D. Just signs of things to come and means the Franchise league is set back again :P.

all the better for the giant killer to prepare to go Bee hunting ;)
I guess if you can't chase Meese, you hunt bees. :P
Good thing you guys can't do that for a while ;). But you'll probably get stung either way you do it ;).
But I'll be out chasing Meese. How will I get stung?

VAL FTW!!!!! ;)
Great work Valk. ;D
With the Franchise League, because we will have to wait, will we be able to get 4 more teams?
I dont think he played his "A" team as he is ranked 313 in SOD and I creamed him. He only rated 112k
Might be going for League instead....
Would be good if we could get an extra 4 teams to play but who's going to find them ML? ;).
Well there's Pyro, CF, CJ and we need one other. Benjy??

Possible - I think my round 2 match is a game I can win, so with a bit of luck I can make it to round 3 and get some prize money. I prob wont make it past round 3 as my most likely matchup is with a team ranked 182
Through to the 2nd round :D Versing the 83rd seed next week though ::) usually rates about 195k but only rated 166k in his 1st round match so hopefully he rests a lot of players again next week & i get lucky haha
I'm through to Round 2 as well now.

the guy i play next round rates 150k so i think i have an outside chance
he was the team i sold Andrew Hutton to..
he has 2 players called Han Solo and Luke Skywalker ::)
I am through to round 2 also but face a guy ranked 60th :(
I'm through :o :D
He didn't play his best team though, he only rated 109k.

I prepared a sticky pitch in the hope it would even things up and it almost worked
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/scorecard.htm?gameId=990268
So close Bazinga. Considering the ratings, looks like you did really well for your tactics :D.
Thanks HP. He was ranked much higher than me so I put in my best 5 bowlers and hoped they would bowl them out on a sticky. I was surprised that I got so close
i am gonna use the same tactics bazinga
Nice 8).
Next opponent has 4 danger men, 3 Batsman (1 keeper) and a Medium bowler Bowler. His entire team is basically Batters with little Bowling resistance ::). Lets make it a Bowlers pitch now :P.
Should I go Sticky or Slow?
I'm playing away :( but should get a fair bit rom gate takings as his ground holds 14k & he's the 83rd seed... Will go down swinging thats for sure.
So....I have the number 80 in the world (The 56th Seed) in Round 2 :'( Decided to go with a slow pitch to try and limit his scoring

Personally I feel that sticky is a lot more unpredictable when it comes to results. If he is stronger in batting, it might be a good idea to go for sticky.
Sticky can work against you as well though. You are better on something like Uneven or Dry.
His best bowlers is a Medium and a Fasty with some of his batsman bowling as well (with horrbile bowling). Might just go Slow to make it harder for him to score while Favouring my Mediums and Spinners (2 of each likely to play with Morgan).
Will have to see how they fair fitness wise during the week.
i dont mind me sticky pitches got good success on them

i need a good spinner pitch as i have exp/exp and outs/outs spinners, whats a good pitch for them?
Dry. Slightly disadvantages seam bowlers as well. :)
crumbling or dry

damn, cause my seam bowlers are good as well :-\
whats a bowler friendly pitch?
Ill send them in and open with my pinch hitter :D
You would want crumbling then... But its best you check out the opposition you face bowlers to see what disadvantages him a bit.
Yeah if your opposition has 1 seamer then play a spinner's pitch, and vica versa.

i have three seamers and 2 gun spinners :-\
crumbling and play spinners to cause problems
why am i always the away team in the Pav Cup..
i won by more runs!
I won my PC match but next week have nooooooo chance.
The guy I'm playing is Div1 and with respect to him I am raising the white flag now. My team will be full of fringe senior and youth and it will be over quickly, hoping to gain some experience and jag the odd good performance for my youth.

Pav cup games split 50/50 gate takings so if he has a bigger ground then u thats a good thing ;)
yeah but i want to set the pitch to my advantage...
