Well, if HP & I can progress through we meet in Round 5! :D
Any other FF match ups?
I am unsure whether we can use the main thread for this or not. But hell let's leave it here.
I haven't taken PC seriously in a very long time (financial difficulties to have a big squad :( ). I may make it to round 2 with some luck, so sorry can't see you in Round 5 Torpy :(.

208 run win. Got 210th seed in Round 2. And a possibility of a Rd 3 match with Daz would be on if I pulled off an upset!
Will be about 15k underdogs if we both go full strength. I'll probably try to rate about 175-180k.
Didn't think I was ever in with a chance at everything is going to script.
Bowled out for 224 with Tushar Khadim contributing 98 to that.
Now attempting to bowl him out. My new boy Vijay Bishop just got the first wicket. Opponent is 40-1 off 9 needing 185 off 41 overs at 4.51.
Looking forward to reesbr shield game next Sunday against BB67th if he too gets knocked out. :P
Edit: Opp needs 56 off 14 overs. He's currently 169-3. I'd like to believe I can miraculously bowl him out.
Well, I'm out.
Lost by 6 wickets in the end. Surprisingly only got outrated by 9k, I thought it'd be worse.
I tanked and lost by 315 runs :)
Ended up losing by 8 wickets. Got bowled out for 207, so was never really a chance
through to rnd 2
but will probably lose from there
Aussie Coyotes out in round 2.
Obviously blooding 4 youths in Rd2 is at least 1 too many ;D
Twas a long shot anyway and at least some Exp was gained.
through to rnd 3
despite playing a weaker team
playing the team that knocked you off PB

That makes it even more unfortunate. I knew if I won that game then I'd be a good chance to beat you and make Rd 4 :(
BP I notice you are up against Phasir this week
Yeah I don't think I'll be going any further, my team is still mostly too young.
well i'm out :(
I'm not ;D
Will be next week though, guy rates 210k
Through to Round 5. It will be my 6th match in Round 5, I've never won a Rd 5 match before. This time I'm playing a team ranked lower than me and should rate less than me, I'm at home with every pitch available to choose from (Sitting on Flat so I can go either way), he's got some fatigue problems, he doesn't log in between 1:30 and 5:00 so I can even make the last minute pitch change.
This is entirely in my hands so I better not flower it up this time.
Round 5 tomorrow..... *feeling nervous*
Good luck PB! 6th time the charm :D.
Which pitch did you decide to go for?

Uneven. Been on Green since Wednesday and as I said above he shouldn't be online to catch the change :-\ However Green -> Uneven would be the one pitch change you wouldn't mind missing it's not the biggest difference.
Got some fatigue problems (1 AR and Keeper on passable). Thought about playing the 2nd keeper (20yo) but noooooooo, I'm winning this game and Maloney can rest until next Sunday as I have a lucky Friday draw and can play the backup keeper then.
Just got to win now....
Fingers crossed. Yeah go all out to make it if can afford to rest next Friday's match. Break that duck!!

Should've played the younger keeper. But really, I shouldn't be complaining. Round 6!!!
Who would have known :P. Congratz PB :D. Cracked new ground 8).

Away and will be the underdog this weekend though. I think I will struggle to win this one. :(
Cloudy/Slow -> Windy/Dry
Not liking that change. If it ends at Cloudy/Crumbling I might not feel too bad though.
So many selection dramas :(
Barring a late pitch change, it's going to be rfm AR, rfm AR, rws, rfs, rfs as my 5 bowlers. Then Seam Spec, Acc, Seam Spec, BH, Safe Hands, BH for my top 6.
Pleeeeeeeease work
H. Roach (rfm) 9-1-38-1, K. Konchady 10 (13b), P. Lockie 32 (57b)
End of over 33 (6 runs) - Delhi DareWhackers(134-6) RR 4.06
Going okay and Konchady is part of the tail (avg bat). Got to get wickets and clean this up under 200.
His keeper that is also batting, Lockie, is outs/spec/excep but has only average fielding, interesting.
Did someone say Round 7?? Yeewwwwwwwww :D :D

5 wicket win :D
Expecting to be outrated by about 15k next week though, will need to dig deep to go another step.
Awesome stuff PB! That's a huge win, as I remember when they were the Powerhouses of FTP :o :o.
15k is workable for an upset when in that range, but gotta make sure you go full strength, and hopefully with players that aren't fatigued much! Cause can only imagine how they're going atm.

I still want to win Friday so might have a few guys on revived but no one should be worse than that. Got enough players to play there so that the right guys are available.
Fangman has called heads correctly and has decided to bowl. Dingo Town will start their innings shortly.
So my opponent has gone in with one of each bowling type, whilst I have two fms and no medium. But by going that way I have the extra All Rounder which he does not have, someone who would would have no more than Reasonable batting coming in at number 8.

There's a link if anyone is interested.
So far in the games that have finished today all the teams batting first have won, and I generally like to bat first but have been doing the job chasing so far this season, so backing myself to do that again today.
A. Sandipa (rf) 8-0-30-1, S. Donovan 15 (27b), A. Kelly 66 (122b)
End of over 35 (6 runs) - Dingo Town(128-2) RR 3.66
At this point was not looking great, had dropped Kelly twice. But the runs weren't being scored and I knew a collapse was possible. And now...
B. Austin (rws) 7-0-26-1, B. Dragoncheeks 3 (3b), C. Fitzpatrick 2 (3b)
End of over 38 (4 runs) - Dingo Town(141-4) RR 3.71
My guys not given up just yet. Roach superb so far 6-1-14-1.
Well it could've gone one of two ways, and it went the wrong way for me
H. Roach (rfm) 10-1-31-2, J. Williamson 24 (17b), J. Woodwinder 13 (10b)
End of over 50 (5 runs) - Dingo Town(226-6) RR 4.52
Would be a huge effort to get up from here and against his bowlers I can't see it happening.
