I'm ranked 411. so should be OK.

OD - Up to Level III, league as expected. Should do OK.

BT20 - Up to Level V. Only 2 other Eng teams there (both Level IV), so my lot might struggle with the jet-lag a bit. Couple of III SA's, a III Pak, a III SL, a IV Aus, a IV NZ, and 3 Aus V's. Could see me winning this one.

[Grayson]

My FC league looks strong, my OD league will naturally be tough and BT20 I couldnt care less.

 

[SUFC_Al]

OD all round looks stronger than last season, another consolidation season!

FC looks like i'm 2nd best

BT20 up to level V

 

[The General]

TBH i'd take the rankings all with a pinch of salt!

Jeezus H Christ on a tricycle !!!

OD. A bot relegated so I have a decent promotion shot in a two or possibly three horse race.
2020. I survived by the flimsiest of skins last season after leaving too many first teamers out so can't afford complacency. Could be tough.

FC. Promoted to VII and survival could be very tough. I'm currently 5th ranked well below most of the others. I have 6.5 in the kitty so plan to blow around 4.5 on a medium pacer. Having pared the squad off season I will need to add reserve bowlers. I'll allow half a mill plus any spare from the 4.5 if not used. Though my batting is comparitively weak I have two in ongoing training and I am convinced the ability to bowl teams out far outweighs the ability to bat all day. I expect that will bite me in the bum. Expecting 5th need 4th and the one saving grace may be PFL. 3 teams appear to have only 14 players.

Just checked properly at home.

2020 - I appear to have zero chance of staying up

FC - to be honest survival is looking somewhat tough !!!!!!!!!

Grapplers CC #306
stockport cc 2nd XI #397
hellfc #756
TDC #572
Batricians Of Malvern #592
ShrimperZone Vets CC #1032

My first two OD games are against my two title competitors. This is the only silver lining I have but if I lose the first two games it is looking like a long miserable season.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I see promotion bonuses have been released. A nice 221 member rise for me as winners of all 3 divs last season ;)

Takes me up to 2,572 members, should just about fill out my 44k stadium if I get on a good run.

 

[MrB]

Oooh, up to 2,902 members. Lovely.

First Class League: #5 in IV.6
One Day League: #6 in II.1
BT20: #10 in V.9

Team Ranking:
#200 in England
#794 in the World

FC looks very even between all 6 teams, will be expecting a lot of tough games. OD will be a straight fight for survival with a lot of familiar names in there. BT20 has some decent teams but I should be in with a good chance of winning it.

Opening FC game is against Bishop Floggers who boast seven 80k+ players. Our OD game is equally difficult. Should be fun!

 

[The General]

Upto nearly 2600 members. Will probably need to upgrade my stadia this season - especially if things are going well!
