North Sydney Bears - The Stylers

The round 1 blockbuster!

 

[_goParra]

Current market for winner

Sydney Panthers $1.01
Any other team $501

 

[willvillain]

The Stylers $1000.

But seriously, obviously myself and BBSF's teams are gonna struggle. We'll compete against each other, but past that I think we're in trouble - but how do the other teams (aside from the Panthers) rank?

 

[_goParra]

I am in my first season too, so it should be tight between us except for PANTHERS

 

[mattyg]

I might have a chance against BBSF!!

:lol:!!!!!

 

[_goParra]

Who are the players to watch out for in your teams.

In mine its

Mick Hird - (Batsman)
Walton (spin bowler)

They are my main strike players.

 

[willvillain]

Blackstock and St Hubbins are my experienced campaigners, but neither has been setting the world on fire recently.

Players to watch out for however:

- Ronnie Howley. 18 year old batting whiz, definately has 'future captain' written all over him, plenty of potential.
- Gregory Mellor. 17 year old left arm fast bowler, has 20 wickets @ 20.40 this year. He's got the ability to tear through teams, but he is still young and can go for runs if he loses concentration early on in his spell.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

just realised the competition doesnt start to next week.

I challenged the stylers to a game today

 

[willvillain]

Um, yeah. The Stylers knew this....and...that's why they're playing so sh*t....the Bears are 1/122...

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

off 30 though. Slowed down heaps.

Problem with the two in at the moment, especially Uppal is he has Woefull stamina. So he always flys at the start but then just looses energy and bobs himself down until he gets out (in a few overs).

He was 33 off 35 today and now hes 46 off 90. 13 off his last 55 balls. problem is anyone else who bats at 3 or so fails

EDIT: Thank f**k hes out, 46 off 92. Bears will hit out now

 

[willvillain]

That's true. Although I put a bit of that down to Middleton's bowling. He's pretty sh*thouse and doesn't take wickets, so I just set him to 'very defensive' and hope that he goes for less than 6 an over. He bowled 5 overs for 8 runs! Usually cops it when he comes back for his second spell though...

Spot on in your assessment of Uppal and Lloyd though. Both out in the space of 3 overs... Knowles the destroyer, and suddenly 3/132 off 34 overs doesn't look so good. Two fresh batsmen at the crease to do some damage in the last 15 though if they get going.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Yeah. It happens most games so I know the usual defensive period is coming. Very defensive should go at 6 an over now 1.3 an over haha.

These guys will pick up the rate. Its weird in every game with 10 overs to go the batsman just know how to hit out. Ive gone from having maidens and maidens to all of a sudden from the 41st over going at 8+. Just magically happens. Have a mediocre coming in at #8 (which is good for me), so should be able to get some sort of total.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

And your right, Middleton looks as if he will get pumped in his final overs here.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Maybe where wrong, middleton holding well.

This is sh*t, my guys arent even working the singles.

Looking at 220 which wont be enough at all.
