You should get about 280.

Nice. North Sydney Bears struggle to 103. Blackstock and Bishop the destroyers again. Thay comes back into the team largely for his captaincy, and managed to pick up a couple of wickets as well.

Hopefully Bob Raven can continue his good form and chase down these runs easily.

 

[Big Mick]

I'm spewing a bit.

I told them to go the tonk..yet Talbot...who got a century...took too many balls.

Palmer also taking too many balls.

Now Wilks is in. he should pick up the run rate.

 

[Big Mick]

Lol bloody strong team that, how long did it take to build that team up?

Its not bad.

Taken me about 4 seasons to build that up.

Got promoted after my second season, dropped down last year...then just missed out last year in a play-off.

 

[willvillain]

The Stylers are taking a cautious approach at chasing down the Bears small target.

Currently sitting on a run rate of just over 4 an over....0/45 after 11.

Wright-Phillips is particularly slow, 15 off 39....
Raven continues his excellent form hitting 28 at better than a run a ball.

 

[Big Mick]

Sydney Panthers ended up 1-265.

Talbot 106 (out)
Palmer 114* (142)
Wilks 30* (26)

 

[Big Mick]

Steyn just unleashed on my first time new ball bowler in Moore.

a 6 and 2 4's in succession...after two good overs of pressure to start.

0-18 after 3...chasing 265

 

[willvillain]

Another 50 to Raven, off 48 balls. He's in fine form for someone with 'mediocre' batting stats.

 

[aussies1st]

Bit annoyed with Liddle he is aggressive so this game I put him normal rather than defensive and he takes even longer.

End of Over 12: 50-0, runrate=4.17, reqrunrate=5.68 (265-1)
Tracey 1-0-4-0
Steyn* 27 (31 balls)
Liddle 19 (42 balls)

 

[aussies1st]

That Viduka is going real well 5-2-9-0, my guys just can't get him away.

 

[Big Mick]

he's probably my best bowler....spinner

absolutely pummelel again by willvillian
almost time to have a crisis meeting
i have no idea what to do.
0 wins and 7 losses with me as head coach.

Dont know where to go from here. How does everyone play there matchess. Defensive, normal , aggressive?

 

[willvillain]

I play as normal. But both my openers are set to 'defensive'. Just because it sh*ts me when they both go the tonk from the first ball and I'm 2/5 after 2 overs.

I played my team as 'go for it!' once. Worst idea ever. I was rolled.

I've saved up 20 ITS points. So next week I will be able to blow 30 points on some 17 year old kid. My plan is for him to become the superstar that will carry me to victory week in, week out.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

okay

just going over it again

How do you get ITS's. I just checked mine. I have 19. is that good? how do i get more and how do i blow 30 of them on say my next academy player?

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Im very confident of joining the winners circle for the first time next week.

Its 2nd last vs Last. The other mob im playing havent won a game either, and in there four matches, havent scored over 100, with scores of 92, 57 , 52 and an amazing 20. In bowling theyve been hit for over 300 three times, and the other team were 1\95 chasing in the other.

Im fairly confident.

 

[Big Mick]

wanna play a friendly against me BBSF?

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

yeah mate whats ur team name, ill look you up and challenge u.

hmmmmm question of advice maybe to a few guys better than me. i have on average 200 000 sitting in my funds which really doesnt change. so theres batsman with ratings of strong out there. the one at the moment im lookign at is at 110 000, should i buy one of them? I mean I dont have a star batter like this, and its not like im using the money...

 

[Big Mick]

i'm the Sydney Panthers

 

[willvillain]

I have bought quite a few players (mostly duds in my first week of playing that I now regret), and that got my funds down to about 100k. That stays pretty stable usually, like yours. I don't know what happens when you go into the negatives, but i don't want that to happen so I'm not gonna buy any more players until some Russian billionaire buys my club.

I'd say if you can get a good player without going under....f*cken do it!

As for the ITS points, when you promote a player from your youth academy you can give them extra stats (like if you want a good batsman, then you could pump all your spare ITS points into his batting etc) and they go on top of the stats he naturally had or whatever. I don't really understand it yet, which is why I am only now starting to save them up (after wasting them for nearly a month).

Sounds like you're ready for a win. Beat that punk into the ground.

It's in Club Info, on the right side you will see "ITS investment" Change the amount of money and you will get more ITS points.
