I agree with this.

Genuine question: does anyone know what the IPL arrangements are in a similar situation?

depends if CSK are involved and what MS decides ?

 

[Herbie66]

Dammit Maddinson just throw the bloody bat at it you nitwit it's not a bloody shield match. I don't think there's been a worse donut put up by anyone all season.

That's the thing I just don't understand about BBL - this clown in particular has been terrible all season and yet they still keep playing him instead of giving someone else a crack who might actually do something given the opportunity?

So who do you replace him with ?

Hinchliffe & Merlo were in the Squad tonight

Cartwright is injured
Coleman
Hussain
Morris
O'Connell

are all bowlers

still makes me worried how and why Pucovski is not on their list ?

 

[Sideshow Bob]

And who'd have predicted that in a rain-shortened game the four best bowlers would be the spinners?

Well not me since I only played maxi ?

 

[Herbie66]

correct

and I took 3 of them out of my team due to the rain

never considered making Philippe captain though

I don't know to be honest, but it's almost an "anyone else might be better" situation with Maddinson right now.

Looks like you can find your rankings in the 'History' tab.

394 in the end for me, stoked to get back into the top 400 after the Kane Richardson C debacle in the Gades DGW shot me out of the top 200.

 

[mike89]

Finished at 534. Stoked!

 

[KLo30]

Woo Hoo, top 100. (95)

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Zero change this round to end on 65th, sweet that’s unreal.

thanks to all been very enjoyable to chat, this site very civil and respectful for the most part which is really nice

Best of luck in ya next supercoach venture

 

[Amazing Bombers]

112 in the end, disappointed not to make the top 100 but overall fairly happy with the result. Thanks everyone here for making this a fun experience and for all the info posted. Hopefully we have some good finishes in AFL SC as well!

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Ranked 530 here. Not behd.

Also a part of the league ranked number 1 overall so rapt with that.

Shout out to those on here in my leagues which were ranked 3rd and 13th. Well done guys!

 

[Presto]

Finished ranked 56th

 

[OnTopBar]

Finished at 589, wanted to crack the 500 but last week stuffed it. Got 230 last year so I'm gonna keep having a crack.

There's absolutely no way I could have got to those rankings without the awesome info that's been provided on this site, so KUDOS to all involved.

Looking forward to the AFLSC and see if I can improve on last years ranking in that.

Cheers lads and laddettes, it's been a good ride.

 

[Herbie66]

Yeah i can definitely see where your coming from. I just think when they have the opportunity to guarantee the last game of the year is played it should be taken. And yeah obviously if thats the case with Marvel pitches being dug up, then you cant criticise them for not moving it.

And just saw your above post pop up re: clubs voted against neutral venue, I think it should be a fan driven thing rather than clubs. As cricket lovers we had this bastardised "product" forced upon us. And to be fair I have grown to like it since initial dismay. So lets not forget what gave birth to the BBL - getting punters hard earned. And to have followed a couple of months of it only for the final to be rained out kind of sucks. (and I get that rain is a part of cricket, but most Test series' aren't destroyed by one day of rain.

Ranting incoherently now, must be beer oclock

All good , you make some good points.

I can't see the other clubs agreeing to lock the final in at Marvel every season , and give the Renegades a home ground advantage possibly.

Surely as a member paying your hard earned you would like to have the opportunity of watching your team play a final on its home ground , not all members/supporters would be able to afford to travel interstate .

Not sure what the answer is to be honest , based on crowd sizes in the TV last few weeks , CA may have a big issue in their hands.

I think if they keep expecting people to pay their money to watch they need to prioritise making sure the best Australian players are actually playing , pretty pathetic that you can't go to a game and watch Cummins , Starc & Warner play.

With the ODI League commencing in May & more and more T20I they ideally need to make January free of International Cricket (yes I would move the Sydney Test) and get the best of the best playing.

Enjoy your beers

Finished 433 with NCN C was enough to lift me from 100th to 93rd. Absolutely stoked with that. However probably even more proud of my 8th in the SCS group. Probably the first genuinely good result in a fantasy comp I have had whilst being part of this great site.

Special thanks to the great man @THCLT who offered me some fantastic advice when my season was heading south after round 6 and the toys were squarely out of the cot. However I can’t ignore that I had a healthy dose of good fortune during that time which saw me improve from 2433 after round 6 to this pleasing result. I may post more details on this because it is a salient lesson for all those frustrated BBL SCers out there.

 

[The Myth]

263rd. It didn’t look like I’d crack top 1000 for a long while there. Was 1700odd after round 12.

A cracking round 13, solid finals series sees me finish strong and improve in my second season.

 

[KLo30]

 

[Herbie66]

Finished 578th.

Once I finally got into the Top 1000 , I then pretty much stalled.

Might come back next season for another crack.

Now for the AFL and where art thou rookies , otherwise mid price madness here I come , Sier at M3 ?

I was ready to do the same after round 2 when I was ranked at 11,595, season was shot then but kept plugging away to get to 589. Next year, next year.

 

[IDIG]

118th in the end for me.

I didn't have that one really good week to get myself well inside the top 100 and pretty much every punt i took trying to get myself back in failed. Best rank for me though so can't complain there.

Quick shoutout to @THCLT @Tails @Herbie66 @Professor @7/11 and everyone else who contributed to putting SCS on the BBL fantasy map. I think we got close to 20k posts and over 400k views so it was a great effort by all.
