Congrats Team Cannons.
To consolidate Top 2 finish we need to win one more.

We have 2 boosts.Next match is against Assassins who have 3 boosts and last against Tigers who will have 3 boosts against us.

I think we need to target round 9 and if it doesn't end up well for us we can still prepare a Spicy/Devilish pitch for round 10 against Tigers.

Save those boosts for Tigers..
 
[MENTION=135839]Smbhayi[/MENTION] [MENTION=144551]Geil[/MENTION] , have selected ROAD for Tigers. Winning this game means we get a Home Semifinal and therefore can also select Pitch Variation in Semi.

We had plans for ODIs after mid season but varying Dynamics of Boosts ruined all the plans.
 
[MENTION=135839]Smbhayi[/MENTION] is the mind behind wins.
Bro, you have been spot on with strategy and boosts.
:salute
 
[MENTION=135839]Smbhayi[/MENTION] [MENTION=144551]Geil[/MENTION]
suggestions for line up and toss call ?
I suggest we play with 2 Super Bats

>. Should we boost Hafeez ?
or Play Herath and boost [MENTION=46373]Ismailtoca[/MENTION]
>. Bat First or Bowl First

Normal Pitch.
Good Bounce,Seam,Swing,Spin
Deterioration Normal.

Bat First
 
Even in T20 especially on a normal pitch on multiple stadiums we've seen wickets falling and a need for an AR to have a batting depth till number 7, so I would say consider it before finalizing the line up whether to include an AR or not

Stokesy on his way to score a Double Hundred :))
He is in form. We can Double Boost him.

Also PB has some not so good memories of stokes playing against them , between also one more doubt is who would be more useful at Batworld arena a super bowler or a super spinner,

If we look at our squad we have three diamond fast bowlers who we could say are more or less equivalent to a super fast bowler but we dont have a super/diamond spinner but the question is, would boosting a spinner required or not?

Damage has to be done upfront. Super Spinner bowling during mid game will just bowl economical spell but won't take alot of wickets. We can boost Hafeez though as Pure AR. And use other 2 boost for Super bats.
or we play Herath without Boost.

Eitherway [MENTION=46373]Ismailtoca[/MENTION] will have to play, unless Stokes scores a 250 and Take a 5-fer :))
 
I think its a good idea to play all specialist here.. Consider this will be a good pitch to bat on..

Thats why I'm doing a Dhoni 2011 and batting in the top order. Captain's knock coming up.

Defend or Chase, Still undecided about toss call.

That's what everyone thought when Cannons opted to bat first against MU at a venue where it has been impossible to defend.

And that's what everyone said when Cannons dropped Stokes from FC match (Final) vs Boyz.

Likewise :19:
 
Well played everyone and thank you for continuously providing support and confidence. I'm pleased that Cannons aren't a one man army and everytime it was someone new who stood up and won us the match.
 
Brilliant season for us.. And special thanks to [MENTION=128087]last_knight[/MENTION] and [MENTION=144551]Geil[/MENTION] who makes this team to a special one..
 
[MENTION=128087]last_knight[/MENTION] @ Smbhayi it has been awesome experience playing alongside u guys, First I used to think PPCL league is all about bringing down opponents with trash talk and all but its much more than that, u can enjoy the cricket part with strategies and trying to outdo the sim unpredictability and just can enjoy the cricket part, Smbhayi is 90 % right on predicting the unpredictable sim and the remaining 10 % is completed by our kaptan who is a very deep thinker IMO

See you until next time

Enjoyed your commentary this season, bro! You’ve been a vital part providing key insight and analysis to keep us on our toes throughout. :salute
 
Proceedings for Season 2 is starting with Retention picks.

Maximum 5 players can be retained, including Captain and VC.

imho [MENTION=135839]Smbhayi[/MENTION] should lead Loose Cannons in season 2. I will continue with procedures of Posting the line up and other stuff as a VC.

Retention Picks.
[MENTION=135839]Smbhayi[/MENTION]
[MENTION=128087]last_knight[/MENTION]
[MENTION=144551]Geil[/MENTION]
[MENTION=136435]Azan Basit[/MENTION]
[MENTION=139354]TeymurBlake[/MENTION]

And at draft we will try to pick [MENTION=134706]as-95[/MENTION] [MENTION=137868]silentkiller187[/MENTION] and [MENTION=142432]Titan24[/MENTION] [MENTION=149178]Afhan Ali[/MENTION]

One reason of inactivity is when players actually wanted to be in another team. This could be the reason for inactivity of many players from all teams. [MENTION=46373]Ismailtoca[/MENTION] and [MENTION=54243]Azlan Khan[/MENTION] were not active during season 1. If other teams don't pick them we will try to retain same Squad + 1-2 from new sign ups.
 
I"d say do not retain 5 players, retain only 2 or maximum three, the reason being getting priority over other teams in starting of selection of draft players in the draft pick

The team with less retained players will have the opportunity to pick first the players available in the draft over the teams who have already retained maximum of five players

I would say also ask each & every player if they wish to be associated with Loose cannons if not dont retain them, if they wish to then use the maximum 5 players

me personally I will leave the decision of retaining me or not to the captains of LC

I think I and [MENTION=135839]Smbhayi[/MENTION] will continue at Loose Cannons.
Next 3 suggested retention picks are :
[MENTION=144551]Geil[/MENTION] (thats confirmed as you passed it onto Captain and VC who will love to retain you )
[MENTION=136435]Azan Basit[/MENTION] (reason ; At season 1 draft, He wanted to be in Loose Cannons squad )
[MENTION=139354]TeymurBlake[/MENTION] (Was with [MENTION=135839]Smbhayi[/MENTION] at Quetta Gladiators)

If a player wants to go in drafts its his right and in that case his decision will be respected and he won't be retained.

And we have to pick [MENTION=138670]The_KING[/MENTION]
