Looks like my opponent's Captain is a tad out of shape, fattest EVER in the history of FTP.

It was a long walk out for the toss give him a break ;)

It showed how exhausted he was! Marlon got him 2nd ball haha.

Went on a little buying spree last night. Came out with these 2:

21 yr old Acc/Acc Batsmen with Exp fielding
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=1370222

23 yr old Exp/Exp FS with Reli fielding and Doosra
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=1201165

Not a fan of the names, so i've sent through a thing to get them changed haha.

Both have low XP but good purchases :)

You say that BP, but you know you still love the game ;).

currie such a gun :(

He was, and the players stood up for his last match! Currie scored a decent 39 (off 84) as we won by 16 runs in a minor upset :D. Now he will step aside for the next generation, but has agreed to stay on to be a batting Coach for the Hello Youth squad.

Played a bot today, but still had some ridiculous performances.

William Walkley opened and made 224 off 150 not out.

Amoghardasin Chengelpet should have got a 100 but made 92 after getting out after hitting the ball twice.

Willie Du Plessis got 7 for 5 with off 2.5 with a maiden thrown in there.

Now hopefully they replicate it against actual competition. :P

I miss playing bots that much worse than you, get those massive performances to enjoy!

Hellopplz · May 16, 2015, 11:25:53 PM

Just to put it in perspective, I recruited Currie: 21 Jun 10 06:35.

So he almost made 5 years!!

2.3 2 Gomes to Kaushal : [dropped] Oh dear. Kaushal has sent the ball high into the air. Roach positions himself under it and... oh no, he's dropped it! Let me tell you, if looks could kill, Gomes would be on trial right now...

3.3 4 Roach to van der Graaf : [misfield] That's a cracking, punchy off-drive from van der Graaf. Really terrific timing, as he just leans into that shot and pushes it back past Roach, Al-Attiyah at mid-off dives across and can't save it, though he perhaps should have.

Oh come on.... Two failed checks already, and none passed

PowerBug · May 17, 2015, 08:56:23 AM

9.3 W Kuhlengisa to van der Graaf : van der Graaf played down the wrong line to a ball angled into him. A sniff of swing as well and a raucous appeal as it hit him on the front foot. It was in line and hitting leg.
A. van der Graaf lbw b. J. Kuhlengisa 13 (28b 1x4 0x6) SR:46.43

And we are away!!

Chasing 238 to win. I went for 80 runs from the 31st to the 40th over. And then took 5 quick wickets to limit the damage, could've been 250+.

Start so far is slow, but steady. There's no rush, 50 overs is a long time :)

The player has been in your squad for 1,341 days, meaning you will receive 100% of the sale price.
Are you sure you want to sell Sadique Watson with a starting price of 0?

The player has been in your squad for 1,079 days, meaning you will receive 100% of the sale price.
Are you sure you want to sell Kevin Horton with a starting price of 0?

Geez, not sure I want to get rid of these guys. i won't be selling them though, they are 32 so I will just retire them :(
