Also [MENTION=141936]MoFresh23[/MENTION] to pure bat LHB..
 
we can always try different combinations if it does not clicks
 
What is our tactics or how do our team play? aggressive? defensive? batting team? I know its all simulated but we do have control over selection according to pitch and mvp performance right?

waiting [MENTION=53377]jeetu[/MENTION] to start thread.. and I think we're going with bowling pitches..
it most likely
Bounce: high
Swing: high
Seam: high
Spin: avg
deterioration : low..

mostly we'll play with 5 bat, 1 WK, 1 AR and 4 bowl.. if you've want to be an AR then you should change LS to RAF/LAF..
 
BTW [MENTION=144551]Geil[/MENTION] bhai what about being VC of :gladiators

I dont know much to be honest in general how this works so i would recommend to make a vc who has experience
 
if no one is volunteering or has that experience then i am ready to be vc

looks like fast or medium fast bowlers will be more effective than spinners. one spin Ar and 1 fast AR and 3 geniune bowler should be ok to try first

sure if the pitch is high swing and seam then yeah we can use maybe part timers in spin bowling, I dont know much but we can do this right

thing with AR is they've lower skill compared to specialist.. so more AR means they leak more runs..

BTW I want to change your roles (after season starts you can't change the role)..
What you prefer, Bowling AR - Left Arm Fast or pure Bowler - Left Arm Fast..

First of all, thanks for picking me.

Secondly, sorry for not replying to you so late.

And finally, yes, you can change my role if you would still like to.

so we have 15 players squad, 4 geniune bowlers (3 fast,1 ls) 5 AR (2 bowl,2 bat,1 normal) 5 bat and wk

we have 2 spin(ls and left arm spin) and 4 fast(1 left and 3 right arm) and 4 right fast medium bowlers

if i did not miss read what we are lacking is a off spin bowler in AR or genuine bowler role

some left hand batsmen struggle against off-spin so would that come handy in simulation cricket i don't know but if it does i suggest we include one off spin AR ?

as u said we already have lots of AR and as u wrote pure left arm fast bowler looks good so i am good with that

Think you have forgotten the phainta I gave you last time.

Lagta hai remind karaney ka time aa gaya hai!
 
Good to be with Quetta....I can already see some stalwarts of PPCL in this team. Let's blow the opposition away.
 
Guys, with the proposed contracts our batting is very week. In the past batting heavy teams have won on the sim. Thoughts?

we mostly plays on bowling pitches.. I remember once [MENTION=53377]jeetu[/MENTION] mentioned that higher skilled Batsman tend to lose their wicket in bowling wicket due their aggressiveness..

It may or may not be true in this season. Sim takes many hidden values into consideration. To avoid confusion i tend to hide them.
Batting Skill is also affected by Pace mod , Spin Mod , Swam/Swing Mod , Placement , Aggression , Strength , also Front Foot , Backfoot , Offlside and Onside Mod.

Similarly Bowling Skill is affected by Speed , Offcutter , Legcutter , OffSwing , OnSwing , Offspin , Legspin , Control and Reverse.

There is also Long Format and Short Format Mod. Which has massive effect on bowling/batting rating. Its not applicable in this season though as we are playing on T20's.

I tend to tweak around these setting so old strategies don't working exactly like before. Captains needs to adapt according to sim by observing on how sim is behaving and adapt accordingly. That is why i tend to have mid season and give extra squad members to every team so they can adapt.
 
So our first game is against Lahore.. They'll have at least 3 ARs in their XI.. Thinking to go with Flat pitch.. Any suggestions [MENTION=144551]Geil[/MENTION] [MENTION=129922]Smiling Creed[/MENTION] [MENTION=143916]CadPakFan[/MENTION]

Our 2nd game is against Peshawar, also home game.. Has to post pitch today, going with spicy I guess..
 
go for our strength which is definitely bowling so yeah spicy pitch will suit us
 
Against Zalmi I was thinking of this xi

Ahmed Shehzad
CadPakFan
MoFresh23
Smbhayi
Geil
Hasnain
EngrOmair

Bat First
 
Big win guys... Anyway our next one is away game vs Islamabad on a dry pitch.. It'll be high scoring one but it has tend lose couple of wickets early so I think we should open with low skilled bat..
 
My Suggested XI will be

Smbhayi
Smiling Creed
TaymurBlake
Ahmed Shehzad
CadPakFan
Mofresh23
Geil
Ibrahim.Imran
Hasnain
EngrOmair
The_KING

bat First..

[MENTION=135839]Smbhayi[/MENTION] add another spinner in the playing 11 it is a dry pitch we don't need too many fast bowlers need to have two to three spin bowling options otherwise our fast bowlers will go for runs

already posted the xi.. anyway I believe it's better to play 80 skilled bowler than 65 skilled spinner.. [MENTION=138411]EngrOmair[/MENTION] is enough for them..
 
Gone with spicy pitch against Karachi.. Any suggestions [MENTION=144551]Geil[/MENTION] [MENTION=129922]Smiling Creed[/MENTION] [MENTION=143916]CadPakFan[/MENTION]

it is a dry pitch so even 65 skill bowler will get help and that's why i suggested we should have at least 2 skilled quality spinner when it is a dry pitch otherwise our bowlers will struggle ,

technically we can submit team by 12 right i don't know? but if it is possible add a spinner and drop a fast bowler

Today's Multan's game on a dry pitch but all spinners struggled, only picks 2 wickets I believe and goes for plenty..

final call is yours as a captain up to you
 
Anyway back to back home games.. Opted spicy pitch against Karachi and opting same for Multan..
 
Any suggestions for the game against Karachi? Should we keep same xi that played against Zalmi?
 
Our strength is bowling so spicy pitch is perfect for us.

yes agreed the only weakness we have is needing another quality spinner like [MENTION=138411]EngrOmair[/MENTION] for flat tracks and a lower order batsman who can score some quick runs at the death overs

in home games we look really strong, on flat trucks we are performing well too
 
Well Played guys and a great all-round performance by [MENTION=144551]Geil[/MENTION]..
 
Great win guys.. Though we are doing greatly I'd like to change the team little bit.. We play most of our games on home turf (4 out of 5) and only 1 home games left.. Don't think other team will give us bowling friendly pitches.. So I'd like to change mine role to pure bowler.. If we need an AR we can change [MENTION=138411]EngrOmair[/MENTION] to AR, though I won't suggest.. Also will bring an offie from reserve bench...
