Both our seasons have already been determined, so the "camel-furly" shield is going to be the main thing in this match. (That and getting my PC rank up a place). Expected the late change from the Doc :)

Kramers key players would be Connor Morgan and Ranasinghe Chandana. My long batting has been suseptable to collapse, and this is the pitch that the trundlers and tweakers enjoy!

As for the Soggy Dudes (Soggy being a reference to an old Coen flick). The surface fits into the double talent of the "best player never to be a Nat" - Claude Burdett. Also Marvan Manohara often has a big impact with either bat or ball.

Uncertain who will stand out with the bat, Shakil Shakil skills are plopping but he's seems to be performing better , on Cosmo's bats they seem to fly under the radar so either could perform on their day.

Maybe I need to stop doing that for a few seasons. It catches very few people off guard any longer. Most everyone knows it's coming, so it's actually more of a surprise when it stays the same. :lol:

Actually this thread alerted me, otherwise it may have worked!

You're doing okay. Still think I'm slight favourite, but need wickets :(

He's pretty good, nice average too!

All my top spinners seem to be NZ. Which is a pity.

I'd say he's the best FS I've ever had. Though he did make a few tours, I guess he's like a lot of other players I've had who are really nice players, but just fall a little short of making it. Perhaps it's a blessing. Quite often it provides me with a big advantage during tour weeks, because I almost always have just about the fewest NATs in my leagues.

End of over 30 (4 runs) - Kramerica Industries(114-2) RR 3.80
Interesting position after 30 overs, bit slow, but in a position to clear 220. Lack of batting depth may be an issue if a couple of wickets fall quickly.
M. Manohara (rm) 7-0-21-3, H. Jaymon 1 (2b), C. Sarwan 0 (2b)
End of over 34 (1 run) - Kramerica Industries(125-4) RR 3.68

And that could be the start of the wheels falling off, losing both set batsmen in one over.
