Cup Thread - Season 22

[* ORM *]

Safely into next round with a tough away game at Grapplers. Saving grace could be their small squad and double promotion attempt. Will review after this weeks games depending on PFL.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Myself and Mrs BB both safely through.

I'm now at home to a Level V ranked #1166, with a top wage of £12k pw :thumbsup:

Mrs BB away to a level IV ranked #214. Bit trickier, but they only have a 15 man squad and PFL's are not the best.

Franchise got mashed by 10 wickets, but picked up £156k in gate receipts to make up for it :smile:

 

[Napster]

franchise team still in, a nice 7 run win.

 

[Napster]

I should be out next week though. :winking:

 

[Davros]

both teams still in, probably both out next week though!

last 32 for franchise team, a good first season!

 

[MrB]

My game was much closer than it should have been but we made it through and have another winnable home game. That second round win over Toffs is proving to be veey valuable, as proven by the fact he's had to sell two players since to compensate for the loss of income!

Sky Blues are out so that's two of the 13 £1m+ wagebills I'm aware of gone. Need them all to draw each other!

Home to mighty minnions, #6 in England.

Home to mighty minnions, #6 in England.

They're in my OD league. Shame you've got them next week as his 2 NT's will be availabe. They're v strong at the top of the order...

 

[MrB]

Just beat them in FC. Set your bowlers to V Attacking. If you can get one of the openers out they fold quite quickly.

This may be a really stupid question. Where, if anywhere, can I see the full cup draw ?

My opps are stronger than me but their general PFL is bad. Mines not spectacular but well worth the GFI gamble as I have a run of 3 easy ODs to come - one has just gone bot but I've learned the lesson and his team is not reset (apart from fitness)

 

[MrB]

Haha, how long have you been playing this game? It's under Global>Country Details in the bottom left corner.

ha ha ....... found it cheers !

 

[MrB]

Looks like 5 of our 7 remaining teams are heading through comfortably, only the N-Trance game looks close with Toddy looking like he's heading out.

Gives me something to watch while spending 8 hours on a treadmill!

 

[* ORM *]

It's been another decent enough run for me. Will bow out next week with another 150K much needed funds.

 

[MrB]

After a 35 mile walk yesterday it's another treadmill day watching cup games. Batty already through after a throw, Dibs looking good while Vets look to be heading out. Megame + YB's too early to call.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Yep, myself and Mrs BB both through without too many probs.

Good draw for me against a level IV, although it's away. Very tough draw for Mrs BB away to Team Tadley C.C.

 

[MrB]

I got Bendigo Bullants :thumbdown:

Only saving grace is it's an NT week so they'll be down two men, should even things up a bit.

 

[MrB]

A surprisingly comfy win given their ratings! BB through as well but Dibs are out after losing a game they looked in complete control of.

Fielding: quality respectable

 

[MrB]

Loads of mediocre teams left and I go and get Brianstoke :sick: Not even an NT week so I get the full £1.8m wagebill to face!

Toughie for Batty as well.

 

[MrB]

I'm just off to lube up. Last time I played the best team in England in the cup I got bowled out for 28, let's see if I can improve on that!
