Bowl first actually. Let me confirm in a bit.

Bowl first actually. Let me confirm in a bit.

Okay!

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Bowling first is crucial in the previous road games. Chasing becomes easy on flat pitches. Definitely bowl first.

 

[Manager102]

Great to get the W today... well done guys!

Some bold moves were made with changing the strategy and glad to see it pay off... thanks to the skip and his right hand man!

bro!

Great partnership between you and [MENTION=139314]ARK Rafay[/MENTION] ensured for us to have a wonderful score on the board.

Carry on batting like this! Want to see a century in the next match

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Guys you have no idea how much my mood has lifted today. Been a tough week with an exam coming up and also some uncertainty with travel and potentially coming back to Pakistan when flights reopen.

Just want to thank all of you for cultivating an excellent community and a family here at the Tigers. It’s an honor to play with you brilliant folk.

Upwards and onwards.

Bhai - tension nahi leni!

It is my honor to have you as my right-hand!

This is just the beginning... we will come back stronger than ever.

Much love ,

[Mueez]

Btw I mistakenly wrote bat first instead of bowl first... I have asked to change as I couldn’t edit as my wifi didn’t work and had to switch to 4G... I hope it gets changed

Stay safe and exercise self care doc. Thank you for serving on the front lines and helping save lives. You’re a genuine inspiration to me and I’m sure many other people here as well.

We will win this war iA. How can we not when we have people like you pouring your heart and soul into it. Have faith and just remember: night is darkest just before the dawn.

Thank You. Yes I have a strenous routine wrt using PPE and following partial intermittent isolation at home when I come back. But I don't live with fears of forward thinking. Jo hona hay wo hona hay, is liyay jab kuch ho ga tab ki tab dekhain gay.
All those long hours at gyms and swimming ought to have helped my body, and more importantly, my mind.

Whatever circunstances everyone is going through, don't live with fear of forward thinking. It compromises your focus, priorities and your skills.

Happy Birthday Wasim!

Hope you have a good one

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Let’s not use our boosts. If there is one upcoming game i am confident about, it’s this match against loose cannons. Dry track to eliminate their bowling strength and if we use our bats accordingly, we will be in a good position. Let’s not boost anyone. Save for a tighter match.

Regarding batting order. Open with 2 AR then 3 diamond bats at 3,4,5. Toss call: bowl first.

Im just operating on gut so feel free to contradict all of this

 

[Mueez]

Opening with AR is a good shout! Need to keep our 85s for the middle over.

Agree with the toss call as well.

 

[Mueez]

What a win Tigers!

Where should I begin?

So many good things to talk about today!

First of all what a knock it was by the legendary [MENTION=141306]sweep_shot[/MENTION]

You have been our matchwinner in the last two matches! Clutch player.
[MENTION=152376]Manager102[/MENTION] playing a blinder as usual

And let’s not forget [MENTION=139314]ARK Rafay[/MENTION] hitting the winning six!

I’d like to say thanks to all of you, it is my honor to lead you all.

Also a special s/o to [MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION] who is the mastermind of our tactics. If it wasn’t for you bhai - I’d be totally alone

Up to the T20’s!

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Sir, kya rula dya apnay so proud to assist you in whatever way I can. We have been the true cornered tigers story — from bottom of the table, we have thrown the entire tournament wide open.

You have encouraged bold moves and risk taking in a true attacking mindset. Imran Khan would be proud of you.

 

[Square Drive]

Congrats bros - 2/2 against us

 

[Mueez]

This means a lot to me bhaijaan!

Abhi toh picture baaki hai mere dost...

 

[Mueez]

Congrats bros - 2/2 against us

Thank you

 

[sweep_shot]

Congratulations!

 

[Manager102]

Great win guys!

The Tigers are BACK!

 

[Thunderbolt14]

If we’re going with road we should just open with both diamonds followed by the third diamond at 3 and then the regular bats.

I agree. Need a flying start! Also the high aggression of the 75 bats could be handy at the end.

Let’s win our next match!

InshAllah!

[MENTION=145503]Mueez[/MENTION] bhai no boosts. Let’s go for it

 

[Mueez]

[MENTION=145503]Mueez[/MENTION] bhai no boosts. Let’s go for it

we use the boost in one of our away matches.

 

[Mueez]

Great win Tigers!

That’s what you call a comeback!

Keep on going like this

Our MVP of the day - the whole team

Wonderful knock by [MENTION=152376]Manager102[/MENTION] - he’s been in great touch lately!
[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]’s bowling very handy as usual

And the man himself [MENTION=149016]Ibrahim.Imran[/MENTION] playing a brilliant cameo to bring us home!

On to the next match! Let’s keep this going Tigers

 

[Mueez]

Our next match is an away game at the Sheeda Oval - beneath are the ground characteristics:

Bounce - High
Seam - Average
Swing - High
Spin - Low
Deterioration - Low

So what I was thinking to do is replace Jadeja and [MENTION=141306]sweep_shot[/MENTION] for [MENTION=138307]StreetSmart[/MENTION] and Jacques Kallis or what we can do is to opt for a genuine pacer like [MENTION=141804]QalandarFan[/MENTION]... personally I find this option better as it strengthens our bowling.

I suggest to open with an allrounder and a 75 bat - so that we shield our 85s of the opening spell of the pacers as it is on a spicy pitch.

Jacques Kallis

Toss call: Bowl First

Any idea about to use the boost? It is an away game so 5 points are there to be won [MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Crazy idea but what if we drop you for street smart? I think he will perform better than you

Extra batting depth as well.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Regarding the boost: we will get lots of value by boosting a batsman. They have buried their best bats lower in the order, so they won’t get much game time.

We don’t want to boost a bowler who will take more wicket upfront.

Therefore, the ideal candidate is either a pure batsman stationed at number 3 or a Bat AR (Jacques Kallis, he won’t take wickets but he will be economical — and we don’t want him to take wickets)

Yes I see what you mean. Containing > taking wickets.

Let’s try this out bro!

 

[Mueez]

So you would like to use a boost for a bat? [MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Honestly not sure. Let’s boost Kallis as it gives us an extra diamond bat (they don’t have any super bowlers so this is good enough) and also gives us 4 overs worth of less expensive bowling (if he goes for 7 runs per over instead of 11, we will save 16 runs which is a huge amount).

Hmm yeah sure, will boost Kallis then

Btw was analyzing the performances of [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] who is also an 85 skill rated spinner and he has been absolutely massacred at the Sheeda Oval, so it’s better if I sit out the game.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Also bro definitely bowl first

Wo raat apun boost 2 baje tak piya

 

[Manager102]

Can't believe how much Kallis flopped today.
[MENTION=145503]Mueez[/MENTION] would have bowled and batted better even without the boost!

Lmao true

Anyways we move to the next one

Next game is a home game against CA - thinking to give them a batting-friendly pitch as their batting is a bit weak without boosts.

What’s their lineup look like?

 

[Mueez]

What’s their lineup look like?

Diamond:
[MENTION=23911]Moh@n[/MENTION] - Bowler (LFM, LB)
[MENTION=134789]maddgenius[/MENTION] - Bowler (RF, RB)
[MENTION=151817]Batsman e Azam[/MENTION] - Batsman (RB, RM)
[MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION] - WK-Batsman (LB, LM)

2 diamond bowlers and 2 bats. What do you think?

 

[Mueez]

Think they will use 2 boosts as it is their away game, so they might boost 2 bats if we give them road.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

They’d be silly to waste both boosts imo

 

[Mueez]

They’d be silly to waste both boosts imo

So what do we do now? Dedein phir road or another option is dry

Have chosen for Road, hope you guys like it.
