BT20 Leagues

MrB

Life President
Kick off tomorrow. Just a general warning that as this is an international competition, check your match start time! I play at 12:30 tomorrow at home then half past midnight on the 4th, had I not spotted that I'd have ended up with my firsts playing against a bunch of muppets on Wednesday.

Three easy games, have set myself up with a mixture of reserves and fit firsts to ensure no slip ups.
 
I have my easiest game tomorro (full XI on TIE), before facing an Indian II at home, and then the Champions of West Indies away.

I need to throw one. Do I throw it against the Indian side or the WI side?

My OD game on Friday is huge (playing away to a side with no points, I have 8, if I win this I'll be set for a top 6 finish already), so I'm thinking of throwing Thursday's fixture.
 
Toughest game of the week tomorrow, they have 3 players with BTR over 10k :), then I've got a BOT, then a side with top BTR of 8k. I think my reserves will be seeing some action!!
 
start with two home games with a trip to the WI in between, looking to get two wins out of the three, although the WI side have just spend 6 million on a near 100K WK/Bat, so I'm sure he'll kick my butt.
 
I have not worked out how to guage how strong my opponents are but will be assuming they are stronger than me. Will probably use these games to give fringe players a go just for the hell of it.
 
Kick off at home against an average English side, then face a Aussie side with a 174kBT (£52k wage) but he's on lively fitness and a couple of 70k BTR's but i should win that if i bowl them out cheaply. Then away against an Indian side who aint all that!

Sandwich Town CC v BATTY SHRIMPERS

We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this partially cloudy and humid day.

Got a couple of lesser 1st teamers playing, should win comfortably.

DIBS DIPPERS v SwashbucklingTurkeys

We can tell you that DIBS DIPPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this partially cloudy day.


Mrs BB up against a Level III Aussie side. She's at full-strength, but I think it will be tough.
