Decided to give keeping duties to Phil Salt so Ronchi can focus on his batting.

Thanks, Misbah appreciates this, he has promised you a post of SAPM on cricket when he will be leader in chief of Pakistan.
So our first game will be Zalmi away.
These are their conditions:
Bounce - High
Seam - Good
Swing - Good
Spin - Average
Deterioration - Low
We'll see how the warms up go first, but I'm thinking we drop Zafar for [MENTION=46373]Ismailtoca[/MENTION]
El Capitano [MENTION=70195]AFM[/MENTION]
This is my suggestion for the playing XI against Peshawar Zalmi:
1.KingUsama
2.Colin Munro
3.Luke Ronchi
4.GreenStorm
5.Cric_Craze/RaashidKhan89079
6.IsmailToca
7.Major/ShadabKhan
8.AFM
9.TrentDevil
10.MenInG
11.Batman
So we will be playing on a Normal pitch.
1.KingUsama
2.GreenStorm
3.Luke Ronchi
4.RaashidKhan89079
5.Colin Munro
6.IsmailToca
7.Major
8.AFM
9.TrentDevil
10.MenInG
11.Batman
Does everyone agree with this line-up?

Capitano [MENTION=70195]AFM[/MENTION] we have post about toss in the match thread, i would suggest Bat first.
Next game against KK at Misbah ul Haq Garden Park
Capitano [MENTION=70195]AFM[/MENTION] we have to post playing XI by tonight, we should have either Roncs or Munro as opener and push one of Greenstorm or Kingusama into the middle order.
Playing XI should be same imo.
I lied.

Capitano, you have selected pitch variation as DRY for next game, should we include Zafar Gohar in the team for that game or continue with the winning combination?
Also we have to name the playing XI by midnight.
I would suggest Zafar in place of Batman or MenInG, but i am fine with same playing XI also
I'm thinking of replacing [MENTION=46373]Ismailtoca[/MENTION] with Shadab Khan for the next game
Amir man of the match press conference:
“I was let down by the team ”
You a superstar man, whattey innings you just played, kya phainta lagaya hai, KK gham hour mae chale gaye hai
Should defeat Quetta easily here.
The next game is at Multan. It will be a Normal pitch with these characteristics:
Bounce - Avg
Seam - Good
Swing - Avg
Spin - Good
Deterioration - Avg
Seems to be a spinner's paradise. Misbah is thinking of bringing in Phil Salt for [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] and Zafar for [MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION].
Thoughts?
Sounds good, it's a sorta must win for us.
Sim is messing it up a bit for us, we two are bowling out inside 10-12 overs of the innings. I would say push Ronchi at #4, we aren't accelerating towards the end and Roncs is only one smashing it constantly.

How about this?
This one is perfect.
Need to give some games to cric_craze bro as well in the coming matches, what are his skill points? I think we can swap him with Raashid in coming games. Above lineup is perfect for Multan game, we can change a bit after that.
Yes KaptaanShould we go with the same XI?
Yes Kaptaan
Only Phil Salt disappointed today, rest all chipped in with valuable performances
Kaptaan [MENTION=70195]AFM[/MENTION]
Mid season transfer window coming up, don't think we need to do any transfers/swaps. What do you say?
[MENTION=70195]AFM[/MENTION]
Also we need a contract swap as well, demote [MENTION=8597]kingusama92[/MENTION] or [MENTION=140491]Greenstorm[/MENTION] into diamond and promote yourself to Platinum.
Rest we don't need any contract swaps. Just need to swap Zafar with any other Intl. Platinum
You should demote me. I am out of form these days.
BTW Shezzy boy is in top form.. He just scored 50* off 27 balls when everyone else struggled to score run a ball..

Live: Breaking News From Misbah Ul-Haq Garden Park
"A direct press conference was held in which the entire team management of United were present. It was told to the press a long and intense meeting will be held in order to decide the mid season changes.
The fans remain reassured in the decision of the management and are sure that United will be lifting the trophy."
This was the XI that destroyed Karachi at home on a flat pitch.
1) Colin Munro
2) Greenstorm
3) Luke Ronchi (WK)
4) raashidkhan89079
5) kingusama92
6) Ismailtoca
7) Major
8) AFM
9) TrentDevil
10) Batman

I think the XI could be:
1) raashidkhan89079
2) Colin Munro
3) Greenstorm
4) Luke Ronchi (wk)
5) kingusama92
6) Ismailtoca
7) Shadab Khan
8) AFM
9) TrentDevil
10) Batman
11) MenInG
What do you guys think? [MENTION=152120]TrentDevil[/MENTION] [MENTION=8597]kingusama92[/MENTION] [MENTION=140491]Greenstorm[/MENTION] [MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION] [MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION]
[MENTION=70195]AFM[/MENTION] i am not in favour of too many ARs, maybe replace Zafar with Hussain, but get a proper Batsman or Bowler in place of Salt.
We can keep Salt as the batsman as both pure WK's and Batsmen have the same skill number.
Zafar might be getting replaced with [MENTION=10164]Deewana Mastana[/MENTION] who is a Bat FM AR.
In the lineup, he can replace [MENTION=46373]Ismailtoca[/MENTION], who we can change to a pure bowler. Any suggestions what type?
Munro's getting the International Platinum contract.
I'll be honest - I don't have much inclination to play [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] and [MENTION=46373]Ismailtoca[/MENTION] as they aren't active members.
Also, the hardest time to score seems to the new ball in the sim. I'm thinking of pushing Ronchi down to be the finisher.
So I'm thinking potentially this as the lineup for home games:
1) raashidkhan89079
2) Phil Salt (wk)
3) Colin Munro
4) Greenstorm
5) kingusama92
6) Luke Ronchi
7) Ismailtoca / Deewana Mastana
8) AFM
9) TrentDevil
10) Batman
11) MenInG
For away games that might prefer spin, we can replace the No 7 spot with Shadab Khan.

Can we replace [MENTION=10164]Deewana Mastana[/MENTION] with Zafar? I think [MENTION=53377]jeetu[/MENTION] said we will have to replace him with Intl. Regular.
Our bowling hasn't been that bad, it's actually pretty good tbh, our batting towards the end of innings is hurting us most, we aren't accelerating enough at the end, that's been the pattern of our losses so far, so I think moving Roncs down the order is a good idea.

Zafar will no longer be the International Platinum. Munro will be.
[MENTION=53377]jeetu[/MENTION] does this mean we get Deewana Mastana?
For Mid season break
2 player type changes (bathand , bowl hand , role etc).
2 Contract swap within a team (non international player).
1 Internation Platinum swap (to either existing regular International or from unpicked International).
This is what [MENTION=53377]jeetu[/MENTION] posted in player type changes thread, so i think we can do it
If we get Deewana Mastana, then we will have another in fast bowling AR. In that case, we'll change Ismailtoca to a bowler. Any thoughts on what type?
Congrats [MENTION=10164]Deewana Mastana[/MENTION] and welcome to the United family.
[MENTION=53377]jeetu[/MENTION] does he receive a Gold contract?

I am a bit confused tbh, who are we replacing Zafar with? Bcz above we are talking about Mastana replacing Zafar and if mastana gets the gold, then we are losing out on an intl platinum player for a non-intl gold player, that doesn't make sense as Mastana won't have same skill points.
I think we should have Mastana in place of intl. Regular player Phil Salt. That would even out it a bit.
Re changing Toca to bowler, i think yes we can do it or we can just have Mastana as bowler as Toca is already in the database.
[MENTION=70195]AFM[/MENTION]
Welcome Sir to team #MisbahUnitedThanks and just the team I wanted to be a part of being an Isloo boi!
Welcome Sir to team #MisbahUnited
So here is the summary of changes:
Colin Munro is replacing Zafar Gohar as International Platinum
Zafar Gohar is being replaced by [MENTION=10164]Deewana Mastana[/MENTION] (Bat AR - RFM) [MENTION=46373]Ismailtoca[/MENTION] is being changed from a Bat AR (LFM) to a pure bowler LM.
If everyone is happy, I will post the changes.
[MENTION=152120]TrentDevil[/MENTION] [MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION] [MENTION=8597]kingusama92[/MENTION] [MENTION=140491]Greenstorm[/MENTION] [MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION]
Congrats [MENTION=10164]Deewana Mastana[/MENTION] and welcome to the United family.
[MENTION=53377]jeetu[/MENTION] does he receive a Gold contract?
No. But you can swap him for a existing contract player. Deewana Mastana startout as Uncontracted player. But then you can swap another players contract with him. For example If you contract swap him with greenstorm then Greenstorm becomes uncontracted player and DM becomes Platinum player.

Reuters:
"It has been reported that the hard hitting Allrounder [MENTION=10164]Deewana Mastana[/MENTION] has joined Islamabad United for the remainder of the PPCL season. He was spotted being welcomed to the ground by the bowling coach, Misbah Ul Haq. If the reports are true, United may have finally found the last piece of the missing jigsaw in their invincible squad. Fans are all but assured that the trophy will be coming home".
[MENTION=53377]jeetu[/MENTION] clarification needed please.But then won't we have one less contracted player than the other squads since he is replacing an International regular player?
