Loose Cannons is our 1st opponent for FC match. Their bowling is stronger than their batting as they have only one diamond batsman. So I suggest we go with either a dry or normal pitch to nullify their diamond seamers.

Also I suggest we boost both [MENTION=151352]Babu Bhaiya[/MENTION] and [MENTION=93712]MenInG[/MENTION] and go with a lineup with 7 batsmen, 1 AR (you) and 3 bowlers

Shall we go for a normal one for the first game?

7 batsmen and 4 bowlers sounds good to me.

What's your line up?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hey Guys. I’m back. Been tested negative so its a relief. Was having Very tensed last few days.

I’ll be regular now in team thread as well as match threads.

Good to hear it's all clear.

Let's go #Shehzaaday

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shall we go for a normal one for the first game?

7 batsmen and 4 bowlers sounds good to me.

What's your line up?

I'm thinking along the lines of this

JibranAnsari
RaashidKhan
Sanga
shahidafridi123
AB
Hadi Rizvi
Deewana Mastana
Saj
Major
MenInG
Babu Bhaiya

 

[Deewana Mastana]

One problem is that our openers haven't done too well in the warm ups even though both have scored runs but we lost early wickets.

Not sure if we should try them as openers again or slot sa123 instead at the top with one of them at 4.

What do you think?

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Shall we go for a normal one for the first game?

7 batsmen and 4 bowlers sounds good to me.

What's your line up?

Normal pitch sounds good.

I'm wondering if we should play a boosted Imran Khan instead of [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] because he has been spanked in all the games. That way we'll be playing 4 seamers 2 RFM, 1 RF and 1 LFM.

So I'm thinking of this:

JibranAnsari
raashidkhan89079
Sangakarra
shahidafridi123
Hadi Rizvi
Saj
De Villiers
Deewana Mastana (Boost)
Imran Khan (Boost)
MenInG
Babu Bhaiya

Nah I think let's stick to them for the 1st couple of games and then let's see what happens.

I'm sure they'll come good.

Hadi Rizvi
Saj
De Villiers
Deewana Mastana (Boost)
Imran Khan (Boost)

Rather let's boost Babu Bhaiya instead of you because you're already a diamond contract.

I thought you can only play 2 intl per match.

IK got hit around and did not take more than 2 wickets in both inns if am not wrong where as Major got 4 or 5 even though both were spanked.

So you sure you want to play 4 seamers and not 3 and 1 spin option as our warm up was also on a Normal pitch which we lost.

As for the boosts, if we play IK then you want him and Babu Bhaiya to be boosted.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nah I think let's stick to them for the 1st couple of games and then let's see what happens.

I'm sure they'll come good.

Yes that is fine let's try them in 2-3 games and see how it goes.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rather let's boost Babu Bhaiya instead of you because you're already a diamond contract.

I've just seen the teams for the first match that is to be played, they have Super AR Boost and Double AR Boost, what are they all about?

 

[last_knight]

I've just seen the teams for the first match that is to be played, they have Super AR Boost and Double AR Boost, what are they all about?

If a captain boosts a player it goes like this

Batsman >> Super Batsman 95 Bat skill
Bowler >> Super Bowler 95 Bowl skill

AR >> Super AR
(Bat AR skills become 85/75 , Bowl AR becomes 75/85, Pure AR becomes 80/80)
> Regular contract or Diamond contract AR both end up at same skills after boosts.


Double boosts are applicable only for AR. It counts as 02 boosts and AR becomes 95 bat skill and 95 bowl skill.

 

[last_knight]

[MENTION=10164]Deewana Mastana[/MENTION] It goes like this

Contract	Role	Bat Skill	Bowl Skill
Regular	Batsman	75	0
Regular	Bowler	20	75
Regular	BatAR	65	55
Regular	PureAR	60	60
Regular	BowlAR	55	65

Contract	Role	Bat Skill	Bowl Skill
Diamond	Batsman	85	0
Diamond	Bowler	30	85
Diamond	BatAR	75	65
Diamond	PureAR	70	70
Diamond	BowlAR	65	75

Contract	Role	Bat Skill	Bowl Skill
Boost	Batsman	95	0
Boost	Bowler	40	95

There is no limit on number of Internationals playing in Team XI , personally i discourage captains to play an International player if you have exact regular player sitting out of team XI.
Unboosted AR will rarely perform well especially with regards to bowling.

Hmm true. You've changed my mind I guess.
Let's play Major then.
And we'll boost both Babu Bhaiya and MenInG.
That way our bowling will be stronger.

Thanks guys for the explaining of the super and double boosts and intl players.

Do make sure you also post the toss call.

I say we bowl first since we have a long batting lineup

How do you post things in the centre and in all different colours and styles with the logo?

I am trying it to post it but it is not working

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Doesn't look good but I have posted it with bowl first

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

It's alright

In the next few games, we'll confirm the lineup here and I'll post it on the match thread.

Then you can see the script I've used and learn.

Hey guys. What time this match will be live?

IST Or Pakistan time? I guess IST is 30 mins ahead of Pakistan time.

[MENTION=139075]Hadi Rizvi[/MENTION]

I guess it hasn't gone that well for us so far as we will need a decent total to defend in our first FC game at the moment.

Major has again gone for plenty, as you said we will need to see.

Also the openers again flopped in both innings as well.

Quite a few aren't performing and we have a few things to ponder over.

Next match is away against Cornered Tigers which is a spinner's pitch we have to play [MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] there.

Openers are a definite worry.

I'm thinking of a promotion for [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] bhai. He should be at #3 or #4.

I'd say lets put him at 4 while Sanga did score at 3. Isn't it?

Either Major or a leggie

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Either Major or a leggie

Do you wanna decide on the lineup right now?

They've gone with a dry pitch.
I say let's go with 3 spinners. Engr Omair and Abdul Qadir the leggies and Major.
We'll unfortunately have to drop both Babu Bhaiya and MenInG as the pitch doesn't support them and we desperately need to win the next match.

Also let's boost both the spinners and boost one of our openers.

We'll confirm the batting order here and I'll post the lineup on the match thread tomorrow

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You still want to go with Major despite him getting tonked

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

You still want to go with Major despite him getting tonked

Yes

Because the wicket is a spinning wicket with low swing and low seam, our FM bowlers might get tonked. Going with 3 spinners is a safer bet as spin characteristic is high and they've gone for a dry pitch.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I think our bowling is weak even this game we got tonked around.

So you're saying 3 spinners and me as bowlers

What's your line up

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I'm tempted to put Major and Rashid as openers lol

We've been losing the openers within the first 3 overs anyways so why not do this

raashidkhan
Major
Saj/Sanga
Sangakkara/Saj
AB
shahidafridi123
Hadi Rizvi
Deewana Mastana
JibranAnsari
Qadir
EngrOmair

 

[Deewana Mastana]

See what you think and if you want to move it around then do so and post the line up with the boosts.

[Deewana Mastana]

Hope you like it

Perhaps I would have kept SA123 at 5 and boosted him instead of JibranAnsari as SA123 was still making runs more than the openers had.

Anyway lets see how this goes...

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

[MENTION=10164]Deewana Mastana[/MENTION]

So our next game is at home against Misbah United and they have 4 diamond batsmen and they usually boost the bowlers and an AR.

I was thinking maybe we should go with a Spicy or Devilish pitch to bring our pacers into play.
We bat deep anyways and I think we'll drop Major for this one and bring in Imran Khan as AR.
Boosts I'll discuss later.

Well played [MENTION=139075]Hadi Rizvi[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2515]Jibran[/MENTION] Ansari

Major has been pretty disappointing in both the games. Batting was expected but Bowling was disastrous.

Make sure you're active for the next match as it'll be a cracker on a Devilish pitch and you'll be a crucial part of it.

Bro I had to go for a devilish pitch because Misbah United have 4 diamond batsmen.

They could chase anything on a batting pitch.

You got a demotion for the sake of batting depth and so that IK and Jibran face more balls as they're boosted.

[Hadi Rizvi]

[MENTION=10164]Deewana Mastana[/MENTION]

Considering the current situation I feel spicy/devilish pitch at home suits us as we have a long batting lineup and our 4 bowlers are good enough to take 20 wickets quickly.

Feel like going with Devilish pitch against Hawks too. They are very similar to us but I feel their bowling isn't as good as they barely defended 400+ twice. Remember they did defeat us chasing on a normal pitch during the warmups.

I was thinking along the lines of spicy earlier but seeing how the current devilish one is playing out then let's stick with the same one I'd say.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Academy has its fingers in every pie... soon, our desired captain will take over one of the major franchise teams

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I was thinking along the lines of spicy earlier but seeing how the current devilish one is playing out then let's stick with the same one I'd say.

Losing such a close game after going for a devilish pitch where our batsmen didn't get many runs and managed to skittle out the opposition under 200 in one innings, am not so sure if we should go for a devilish again.

Shall we take a risk and go for it again or just go for spicy?

We need to find the right pitch for our combination at home. So I'd say let's try spicy. Road or flat will play into Hawks hands as they haven't lost on such tracks.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Besides I chose Devilish pitch to nullify MU's diamond batsmen and it worked but that Misbah innings at the end of 3rd innings won the game for them. Also our batting collapse was rather pathetic. Jibran alone made 101 out of the 159 we managed.

Is that alright?
