Would like to know about the management, I would like to be in a team where I can hone my bowling skills further, so someone like Aqib Javed in your management would be appreciated.

We're have roped in Muhammad Wasim for a 2-year contract due to his success in the recent domestic T-20. We saw how he turned a bunch of eager youngsters into champions which we expect to see this season from him as well.

In his recent press conference, he asserted "At Karachi Kings, we do NOT sign TTFs or over the hill oldies like [MENTION=135839]Smbhayi[/MENTION] who are simply trying to collect their pensions. This team is for those looking to give everything they have to achieve one common goal, winning the championship."

 

[world cup captain]

Rumor says Babar Azam and Mohammad Amir are likely to join the Karachi Kings for the season. The two are expected to join the team for preseason training and will be available for the duration of the season.

The team is yet to announce a bowling coach which will be vital for this young, yet phast bowling attack.

Glad that you have chosen the right Wasim. I would like to be in a team which has no tainted figures around, I am a Right handed Shaheen Afridi, franchises gonna have a war over drafting me, gonna be snapped by whoever gets first pick.

P.s. hope this doesn't backfire )

Sorry bruv, this is disappointing.

Can't we set Standards of Dignity & Pride Higher than any other “Extra Talent” to represent Karachi Kings

In a backroom chat, Wasim did mention that he's looking for tall, phast young bowlers who are willing to learn. If you're open to playing for a world-class cricket team, then look no further.

experience matters

BTW who is this Wasim guy.. seem like he dont mind to have certified cheater..

Come to Lahore Qalandars then.

We have Aaqib Javed and we are also planning to being International Shaheen Afridi star. You twins can be a great asset. :SSA

Some media reports have been surfacing that owners of Lahore Qalanders are looking into getting Mohammad Asif to join in for the coming season due to Aqib Javed's disappointing performance in the previous season. This could be a very hot topic that could divert attention from on-field action.

I have had some off-field issues in my early career, but some say that before my drug ban, mujhay kum charhti thi aur ball ko ziyada. I also don't talk about the incident at the Dubai airport.

I am now back after 2 years and ready to play for Karachi. 6'5" bowler who can move the ball both ways at 145 kph. Will be sure to pepper opposition batsmen with bouncers, jazba, and daleri. My favorite way to solve a problem is to aim for the tumtuma. Have also always worked well with Muhammad Wasim, one of my favorite coaches on the circuit. Where he goes I go. #KarachiJeetayGa.

Wasim is not opposed to second chances as long he believes there is potential. Given your ability to bowl phast yorkers and bouncers, I am sure Wasim will keep you in mind.

Welcome to the team lads. Feel free to chip in with any suggestions. At the moment, we have the VC position vacant.

Honored to be selected. Current coronavirus season but I am eagerly releasing videos online pretending that I am doing push ups at my home. Maybe if any of these videos become popular, I will start my YouTube channel that I have always dreamed of making for the Indian audience.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Thanks skip! Let’s make Karachi proud.

Btw what happened to my private villa by the beach that I was promised upon signing with the team?

[Thunderbolt14]

Skipper, what does team strategy look like? I would be excited to take the new ball with Mohammad Amir at the other end and knock other teams out within the powerplay

This is the current standing of the squad. We'll need a couple of the WK to switch to regular batsmen which won't make a difference to your batting ability.

In the international draft, we'll probably pick a couple of fast bowlers and a spinner as we only have one bowler right now.

The team also needs a Vice Captain so if anyone wants to sign up, feel free to. There won't be a lot of work unless you want to dive deep into stats and such.

Most importantly, be active so we can discuss everything rather than make decisions alone.

I will gift you a private island if you join Peshawar.

Salman Iqbal reached out to me last night, he has decided to give everyone on the squad lifetime access to free food from KFC.

He later sent me details of your villa. He also threw in a custom 2020 Lamborghini Aventador S to the package. It will be at your villa after we destroy Peshawar.

I will gift you a private island if you join Peshawar.

Do you think a player with the caliber of Watsupdoc will play with Kamran Akmal? That's despicable.

I assume we are not picking Babar then? Since we only have 2 international picks if I’m not mistaken. We also only have 2 bowlers right now, how will we fill the quota with 4 bowlers (myself, [MENTION=148120]iPakistani[/MENTION], and 2 international bowlers). We will need [MENTION=145909]Smudger[/MENTION] to become another bowling option. [MENTION=145909]Smudger[/MENTION] are you okay with this?

Also, I would like to be Vice-Captain.

Perfect. You're on as VC of Karachi.

The bowling isn't an issue anymore as [MENTION=145909]Smudger[/MENTION] will be a fast bowler since he doesn't have an assigned role. [MENTION=2884]shafkath[/MENTION] who was our very last pick of the draft also does not have an assigned role so he can also be a fast bowler.

All we need is a spinner and another fast bowler (hopefully Amir). Babar will be gone by the time we get to pick our international player.

I assumed we will be at the National Stadium for our home games so pacers will be crucial at home. Given that we can sign as many international players, we can pick up two spinners when we are away.

I was thinking that we get one international platinum spinner regardless of the other pick. The reason for this is so that we can compete on any ground available with a strong bowling attack (currently we are dependent on fast bowlers). A regular international spinner is very weak according to the stats.

I would change some of the wicket-keepers to bowlers and in the international pick go for at least one Batsman.

From Experience with this sim, I can tell highly skilled batsmen are more useful than bowlers.

 

[Watsupdoc]

[MENTION=135989]world cup captain[/MENTION] - I meant at least one batsman from international Platinum.

 

[Rayyman]

Thx for selecting me.

Excited for the tournament #karachijeetayga

 

[Rayyman]

As for my role I can play as a specialist wicket-keeper or off-spin all-rounder.

Either way I am a middle-order batsman.

 

[world cup captain]

[MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION] [MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]

We can pick 5 international KK players right now.

At the moment, we have 2 right arm fast bowlers, 1 left arm fast bowler, 2 left hand batsmen, 3 right hand batsman, 1 right hand wk and 1 right hand fast bowling AR.

We're missing 2-3 spinners (we can select Umer Khan and Usama Mir from the international draft). I can also switch to a spinner which will allow us to select Babar, Sharjeel and Amir.

Then, we'll have 2 platinum international batsmen along with enough fast bowlers and spinners to rotate with respect to pitch attributes.

 

[Abdullah719]

Just a private Island? What about the other perks?

Hello, what's going on here

 

[ahmadharis1]

If we still need a keeper and it doesnt affect our batting stats, I'll be WK

The 2 PP platinum contracts will be better than the international platinum contracts. If batsmen are so important as per Watsupdoc we can award both of these to PP batsmen and have at least one intl platinum batsman. Other intl we can take one bowler. Thoughts [MENTION=135989]world cup captain[/MENTION] [MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION] ?

Ah I didn't know about 2 PP platinum being better yea in that case it might make sense to have one 2 platinum International bowlers - are there limits on how many games 2 platinum internationals can play?

It's also about balance - in the past teams that have had very strong batting line-ups have suffered as well. As well as teams that have very strong bowling.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

No limits.

 

[TrentDevil]

Too much chaos in KK camp as usual

We have too many keeper, you will mostly likely be converted into a regular batsman.

It's also about balance - in the past teams that have had very strong batting line-ups have suffered as well. As well as teams that have very strong bowling.

I believe we can play a total of 4 platinum players, 2 pp players and 2 international players. There is not limit on how many games a player can play. If that's the case, then 2 platinum batsmen and 2 platinum fast bowlers on our home ground.

Not with those butterfingers u have

You're supposed to have banter with other teams, not you own teammates.

Just look at points in more details. I think our contracts should look something like below, given that these are T20s I highly doubt we'll really need high skill ARs, though having some as ARs as back-up is always good.

Team composition:

PP Platinum:

WK - Platinum (since the wiki has to play all games think the platinum should go to it)
Batsman - Platinum

International Platinum:

Bowler - Fast
Bowler - Fast Medium

PP Diamond:
Batsman
Batsman
Bowler - Medium Fast (since you wanna go fast bowlers route)

PP Gold:
Batsman
Bowler (Leg spin)
Bowler (fast)
Bowling A/R (spin)

Non/contracted - International Regular:
Batsman
Batsman
Batsman
Bowler (off spin)
Bowling A/R (sla)
Bowler (medium fast)
Pure A/R (medium)

I would go for a fast bowler instead of Sharjeel - you already have 2 - 95 skill bat, so I think 90 skill bowler would balance it out nicely.

[MENTION=135989]world cup captain[/MENTION] - Also you definitely need uncontracted and international regular batsmen as well in the squad.

Yeah, we're a bit batting heavy I suppose with Sharjeel. We can swap out Umer Khan for a fast bowler (platinum) and keep Sharjeel as uncontracted. We have a limit of 4 international players in the squad.

Are you sure there is a limit of 4 international players in the squad? In the international players draft it says we can pick two from platinum and three from regular

Our default XI would look something like below with this squad (assuming swapping Umer Khan with someone else):

1) Babar (batsman - international regular - skill: 75)
2) Watsupdoc (WK - Platinum - skill: 95)
3) Rayyman (Batsman - Platinum - skill: 95)
4) Da_Future_Knick (Batsman - Diamond - skill: 85)
5) Ahmadharis (Batsman - Diamond - skill: 85)
6) Jibranansari (Batsman - Gold - skill: 80)
7) Mohammad Amir (Bowler - International Platinum - skill bowl: 90)
8) Chris Jordan (or another medium fast bowler) (Bowler - International Platinum - skill bowl: 90)
9) Thunderbolt (Bowler - Diamond - skill bowl: 85)
10) world cup captains (Bowler - Gold - skill bowl: 80)
11) smudger (or another spinner ideally leg spin) - (Bowler - Gold - skill bowl: 80)

Extras:

12. Ipakistani - (bowling AR - Gold - bat skill: 55 / bowl skill: 65) - Is he spin / fast?

13. shafkath - bowler (uncontracted - bowl skill: 75) - Fast medium / (if we can have only 4 international then we need to change this one to a spinner)

14. Sharjeel Khan (international regular - skill: 75)

15. Usama Mir / Umer Khan (international regular - skill 75)

I think that's a pretty solid squad. What do you think?

Yes, I misread the limit. We can choose a total of 5 international players.

Would you prefer to make smudger an off spinner as we will have a leggie in the form of Usama Mir/Umer Khan?

Let’s shift Babar to number 4 and Da Future Knick up top. Don’t want a walking wicket to start with against the best bowlers from the other team. Otherwise looks fantastic

We can debate about the line up depending on the pitch type. You don't want to send your best batsmen up top on a devilish pitch. On the other hand, if it's a pancake, you want to load up your best batsmen with the most amount of overs.

An important aspect is to balance your right/left handers so a team has to play both a leggie and off spinner to take full advantage. Otherwise, if we load up on right handers or left handers, only one kind of spinner will do the job.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Up to you skip. I think generally leg-spinners tend to do better than offies for some reason. That's why was suggesting a gold contracted spinner to be a leggie, but yea makes sense to make him an offie to have more options.

Yea as the skipper said below - line-up really will depend on ground and pitch. This was just kind of an example of who would typically feature in the XI.

[TrentDevil]

You should pay more attention to your own team or else Islamabad might forget to qualify again

Wise decision.

Cool skip! Let's get this thing started.

 

[world cup captain]

[MENTION=57110]JibranAnsari[/MENTION] I saw your post on the player change thread. I made that change so there we have a balanced team as the sim considers every aspect of the team. A few other players' roles were changed including mine.

This won't impact your ability in anyways, your skill points are the same. Everyone still expects you to smash everything in the middle.

 

[Watsupdoc]

[MENTION=135989]world cup captain[/MENTION] - can we try the following line-up against Lahore? Want to see how a mix of low and high skill pans out.

1) ahmedharis1
2) Sharjeel Khan
3) Babar Azam
4) Watsupdoc
5) Jibranansari
6) Da_Future_Knick
7) Ipakistani
8) Arshad Iqbal
9) Thunderbolt 14
10) smudger
11) Usama Mir

Sure, we can experiment around for the friendlies.

[MENTION=135989]world cup captain[/MENTION] - what are the thoughts for first round?

I think we should go for normal or flat wicket first up. My preference is more for Flat.
