Title: S26: Senior Competition
Post by: PowerBug on December 07, 2014, 05:30:26 PM
Hi all,

I was thinking of running a Senior competition, starting sometime next season, probably Week 1, on maybe a Monday, so it doesn't overlap with the Youth one. I'll pay for everything, things that need to be worked are KO or League, and obviously, who is interested.

So if you are interested, just post below with your team name, and whether you prefer KO or League. I wasn't thinking of any ratings barriers either, but if there is demand to keep the competition even then it will be included.

Div 1:
PowerBugCC
Torpedo's Titans
DazBurg's Greatness
Opium Splendour
Hello
(Space Available)

Div 2:
Spinstars
bundy bashers
Ninjas
Off the Radar
Tickle my Timber
Koops Smashers CC

I'd be interested - probably will be an easy beat, but would enjoy anyway.

Team would be Spinstars.

Yeah I'm pretty keen for this, w/ my main Opium Splendour.

I'm also up for it :D. Hello is the team name.

I should really change it one of these days...

Post by: Shaggy on December 10, 2014, 11:08:25 AM
Given my rebuilding stage I am still going through, as I bring players from my youth system through, I am probaby going to be too weak to compete at 170k ratings.

PowerBugCC
Torpedo's Titans
Opium Splendour
Hello
DazBurg's Greatness

One more team of 200k+ strength and we could have a 6 team league with teams of good quality :)

Off the Radar
Spinstars
Ninjas
bundy bashers

Two more teams here would be good, then we could have another 6 team league here!

Don't they rate like 160k? The team will be great but they'd get destroyed by any of those senior teams for another couple of seasons yet.

Rates way too little. But could go into the 2nd tier if HB wants to :) Should still rate roughly the same as the others, won't be a walkover league win for him.


BratPack? Wanna join?

You'll win a game or two :)



Updated the OP, noticed Shaggy's post, so Div 2 is full, unless two more people wish to join so it becomes an 8 team comp :)

But Div 2 is good, how does Thursday sound for people?
Edit: All Div 2 teams appear to be good for Thursday at this stage :)
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition
Post by: PowerBug on December 29, 2014, 09:03:37 PM
Division 2 is set up and the respective teams have been invited :)

Waiting on one more Div 1 side then that can get going also
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition
Post by: PowerBug on December 30, 2014, 10:13:41 PM
Anyone to fill that last Div 1 spot? Have we got another ~200k side here?
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition
Post by: DazBurg on December 30, 2014, 10:14:10 PM
well what do you know i do rate 200k
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition
Post by: PowerBug on January 05, 2015, 02:00:26 PM
I don't wanna cut anyone, but 5 teams ain't great... Can we get a 6th, anyone, even if you rate poorly haha
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition
Post by: PowerBug on January 08, 2015, 09:31:37 PM
Anyone? I've set up the league, it starts on the 29th January. I've sent an invite to the other 4 teams, can anyone join up, PLEASE!!


Also the Div 2 comp is ready to go, starting next week. I hope to see some banter going on :)
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition

Was about to say I would join up even though I would get killed. Disappointed I missed the sign up for div 2 :(
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition
Post by: PowerBug on January 09, 2015, 10:35:35 PM
I did start the thread a month ago, just saying :P

Nah all good, I'll do another one next season if I have the credits :)

I'm probably a little strong for these guys in Div 2 however I'm way too weak for Div 1 lol Awkward.

You'll start pushing into lower ish div 1 ratings by mid next season if it is run again I'd think.
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition
Post by: Shaggy on February 01, 2015, 07:59:33 PM
I will have stronger batting yes, but my bowling will be a work in progress for a few more seasons to come. Probably only going to be around the consistent 170-175k mark at the end of the season. Young bowlers hold me back. And my gun keeper inflates my ratings as well. :P

Humid/Sticky. Seeing as my batting is my weak point, I'm happy with this start :)

Haha, I almost got you! Would've been sweating when I got that 8th wicket I bet ;)

Off the Radar Shagglesburyingtonworth CC
Batting - Top Order 7,983 10,928
Batting - Middle Order 8,258 7,430

Overall 158,897 169,684

I dropped Riebelt in the 4th over, he went on to make 67, the only half century of the match :( 2 wicket loss in the end, well done Shaggy, just the better team ;)
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition
Post by: Shaggy on February 05, 2015, 07:41:07 PM
Default orders and not the best bowlers for the conditions including a couple 2nd stringers. I'm happy with that.

Cheers mate good game
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition
Post by: PowerBug on February 05, 2015, 07:48:24 PM
Thought I was a chance with the extra seamer yeah. That double wicket over hurt, as I bat very thin so need to keep all my bats for as long as I can, collapses are basically game over for me.
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition

How much did you pay my players for those 4 late drops Daz? :( Experience plays a part in fielding checks yeah? Because Rasil had one misfield, great fielding and drop for the match, and he has an unmatched exceptional fielding in my side.

But I guess Daz deserved to win, I mean doesn't everyone's fast bowler take 4/26 on Windy/Slow? When my highest scorers in order are Aronstam (Probs my best bat, 69), Crozier (avg bat + Accumulator, 27), Extras (24) it shows how well I batted... :P

Orders are working a treat so far against HP :) (Until that last over)

V. Gomes (lm) 6-0-41-0, K. Williamson 22 (27b), N. Angus 58 (80b)
End of over 25 (12 runs) - Hello(131-3) RR 5.24


For a Sunny/Flat things are looking good at the halfway point :)
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition
Post by: Hellopplz on February 19, 2015, 09:24:51 PM
I am hoping my middle order carries now :(. Still got two of my best bats and my Keeper who can still go. Given their age ranges from 31-33 hahahaha T.T

Hopefully can put together at least 280 to make it a decent target to defend on a Flat. Really needed that toss to go my way which it didn't.
Title: Re: S26: Senior Competition

H. Roach (rfm) 8.2-0-31-4, L. Rabou 1 (2b)
End of over 48 (maiden) - Hello(241-10) RR 5.02

I swear I underestimate Roach's ability :P

Already lost both openers in the chase so I'll probably lose. (Actually Herring was batting 3 but is the Wardlaw replacement usually)
