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...

yes our away matches pitch will probably not spicy or pace friendly so we have to think about playing two genuine spinners on tracks which are not anti fast bowlers, our current line up is 4 fast bowlers and a spinner,

maybe we bring in the offie u are suggesting on such pitches and drop any one of the four fast bowlers and five bowling option is working till now but will it work on batting friendly pitches? if 5 is food then as u said earlier we go with 5 skillful bowlers and 5 good batsmen and a wk.

if this combination does not work then we have to bring in one AR in playing xi maybe a batting AR who can bowl spin or a Bowling AR who can bowl fast depending on the pitch, what do you think so??

you are our fast bowling AR if you become fast bowler then will we have enough options? just keep this in mind before you make the decision, you have been spot on with your captaincy overall great work we back our captain :thumbsup

So far in our games our lower order batsmen barely get to bat so i guess batting is not really a problem.. plus becoming a pure bowler means I get extra 15 bowling skill which means we can be deadly in any kind of pitches..
 
Also waiting for [MENTION=53377]jeetu[/MENTION] to update stats.. I guess our diamond bat [MENTION=139354]TeymurBlake[/MENTION] didn't well so I might promote [MENTION=138670]The_KING[/MENTION] to Diamond.. So our bowling attack will be filled with 95, 95, 90, 85, 85 skilled bowlers..

I have no issues with that.

I get it. I haven't been in good knick.
 
You might score well when you've low batting skill :afridi.. [MENTION=129922]Smiling Creed[/MENTION] scored century with Gold contract :sachin..

Hopefully. I really want to contribute somehow. But 17 off 10 isn't helping.

Be assured that we will be asked to play rest of the matched on either dry or flat pitches. Let's push up spin and batting.

Batting is not a worry... Batting Dept done well in flat, dry and spicy pitches (Both batting first and second).. Though in flat and dry pitches, middle & Death overs bowling has little bit problems, hopefully it can be solved by upgrading me and [MENTION=138670]The_KING[/MENTION]..

My proposed changes will be

Abdul Nasir (OffSpin) replaces Ben Cutting
Sarfras Ahmed (WK) replaces Kemo Paul (think WK has bit more aggression [MENTION=53377]jeetu[/MENTION])
Me Changing to pure bowler
[MENTION=138670]The_KING[/MENTION] promoted to Diamond contract - Swap with [MENTION=139354]TeymurBlake[/MENTION] (He didn't do well with bat)
 
Going with experimented XI.. [MENTION=138670]The_KING[/MENTION] sitout this game.. Just wanted to know how Nawas will go..
 
is nawas a pure spinner or bowling allrounder?
 
two back to back losses in away matches means our bowling line up and batting order is not working away

playing three fast(me,hasnain and sambhayi) i mean bowling above 140+ is proving expensive on batting friendly away games

I think we need to change this combination maybe bring in spin bowling allrounder by dropping either me or hasnain who might play a role in batting too

One more suggestion is try to open our battting with a pure batsman and an allrounder in batting friendly matches, do not stack all allrounder one after other on batting order and keep only one allrounder or non batsman in top 5,

PZ match batting order looked right but try to bring in our top form batsmen from past two game in top three like shahzad was our top batsman in past two games if i am right

Bowling dept doing fine i guess.. the real problem is none apart Shehzad scoring runs, Also [MENTION=138411]EngrOmair[/MENTION] form is worrying thing.. Anyway our next one is home game so I think opening with bowlers is good idea.. It's guaranteed we'll lost 2 wickets upfront regardless who are batting..

On dry or flat or normal pitches or which are not fast bowling friendly pitches or which does not provide seam and swing to fast bowlers i have a suggestion for the following batting order

Smbhayi/Watson/Ben cutting (AR)
Smiling Creed
AhmedShehzad
TeymurBlake
CadPakFan
Ibrahim.Imran/ MoFresh23
Smbhayi/Watson/Ben cutting (AR)
full time spin bowler or spin AR
Geil /Mohammed Hasnain
EngrOmair
The_KING

The idea is to bat deep till number 8 and

this is the main suggestion i want to give you (keep our top 3 form performing batsman from number 2 to 5)

Also I feel playing me and hasnain bowling over 140+ is proving expensive on such less pace bowling friendly pitches so play only one in a match and see how things go

On spicy pitches as you said nothing to worry keep the same plan as it was working earlier

but on dry or flat or normal pitches or which are not fast bowling friendly pitches or which does not provide seam and swing to fast bowlers we need to keep our top three performing batsman from number 2 to 5

Got to back them up to perform good and try to give them maximum overs to bat on such pitches is my suggestion

On a flat/dry pitches you don't need batting depth, most likely you'll loss about 5 wickets on those kinda pitches.. Round 6 one is an experimented XI on a dry pitch where our spinning AR performs better than main spinner.. On flat pitches we'll follow normal line up where Shehzad bat at 3 and CadPakFan bat at 4/opening..

okay try to bat Smiling Creed Ahmed Shehzad CadPakFan in top 5 on such pitches they are the batsman who did perform exceptional in few games except for shahzad who is performing in every game

Also lets try a different bowling line up on such pitches just think about it,

Because our only leg spinner EngrOmair did not perform in a match or two we got to include another spinner in playing 11

now we either have to drop me or hasnain or The_King and bring in a spinner on such pitches

the only other option we have is nawaz who is an allrounder who can full-fill the second spinner role

Against LQ it was hasnain leaking 50 off 4 overs and PZ was The_King 39 off 3.4 overs

what do you think do we need second spinner on such pitches or it is okay to play with 4 fast and a spinner

how do you plan to build up our bowling line up on such pitches??
 
Another tight loss.. Good thing is we have good nrr so winning one game will get us through play off.. Our next game is against Karachi on unplayable pitch.. It's kinda lottery, most likely whoever bat first will win this game, but if chasing team win that one it'll affect on nrr..

Anyway my suggested xi will be

The_KING
[MENTION=144551]Geil[/MENTION]
Nawas
Smbhayi
Smiling Creed
Shehzad
CadPakFan
MoFresh23
TeymurBlake
Ibrahim.imran
Hasnain [Bat First]
 
hopefully we can win this and end our losing streak, from last three games our fast bowlers are leaking runs at the starting six overs

if we win this its good otherwise we need to seriously think about playing allrounder like watson or cutting who could open even on spicy pitch or any other pitch and drop a fast bowler rather than opening with hasnain who will play slow and get out
 
We're on the play offs.. Named spicy pitch and I guess we'll be going with usual team.. This time we'll chase, it'll be difficult to defend total against Islamabad who has very strong batting line up.. [MENTION=144551]Geil[/MENTION] [MENTION=138670]The_KING[/MENTION] [MENTION=143916]CadPakFan[/MENTION] [MENTION=129922]Smiling Creed[/MENTION] [MENTION=138411]EngrOmair[/MENTION] [MENTION=139354]TeymurBlake[/MENTION] ..

Yes, that sounds fine. Good thing is that we have got two opportunities to reach the final.
 
Cmon [MENTION=135839]Smbhayi[/MENTION], name your XI so that maybe we can have the games posted today :afridi
 
Come on guys any suggestions for final.. Should we play same xi that played in qualifier? And what about Toss selection? Should we chase or defend?

You know better than us how simulation cricket works, which is why we are in the finals all because of you so keep following the same plan if we are playing at home bugati stadium with spicy pitch, between any information on when and where is the final and who decides pitch variation

maybe then we can discuss on the playing xi

our weakness is dry pitch hopefully we dont get a dry pitch,

Playing XI will be same as last match, and pitch will be Spicy, there's a slight chance venue to changes..

One of our strongest batting performances was the final group game. Maybe look at that formula. But you've captained the team well so far, so whatever you decided we are happy to follow.
 
hi all.. Tough loss but have a great tournament overall.. Should be proud of our achievements in this tournament.. Best of luck everyone... Hope to see you guys in coming ppcl season..
