so i have won one toss throughout the whole competition....lol

by Gregers Sun 09 Oct 2011, 9:54 pm

You could win the next 4...

by Guest Sun 09 Oct 2011, 10:41 pm

Mine are now in.

by Mad for Chelsea Sun 09 Oct 2011, 11:15 pm

Hmm first thoughts:

Match 1. Fancy DD if they win the toss, as their opening bowlers should really get stuck in. Could be tighter if RR win toss.

Match 2. My match. Reckon I've got a good team out, but CSK obviously one of the strongest in the competition...

Match 3. Interesting and bold tactic by DC to go in with the five specialist bowlers on a batsman's wicket. Could this and their spin trio swing the gam?. Batting looks a bit weak though.

Match 4. will see when both tactics are up. Kochi have a strong team out with plenty of spin options, though I think McCullum would be better at the top of the order.

Match 5. again, need to see both teams. MI have a strong line-up but have picked Sammy on a wicket where medium pacers are going to struggle, so that's 0-60 already Wink

by Guest Sun 09 Oct 2011, 11:26 pm

My game was the hardest decision for the toss, didn't fancy having Razzaq batting second, even though Arafat is a beast Wink

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 8:51 am

gregers can u do the toss for the first game now plz?

by Gregers Mon 10 Oct 2011, 9:09 am

Done toss for match 1 and match 5. Just waiting on liam/rcb tactics now.

Am in the lab all day today so won't be on much until this evening

by ShankyCricket Mon 10 Oct 2011, 9:12 am

Which lab?

by Gregers Mon 10 Oct 2011, 9:18 am

Genome Centre on campus. Third year project. Working with transforming ecoli today and I think a bit of pcr as well

by JDizzle Mon 10 Oct 2011, 9:50 am

What course are you doing at Uni Gregers mate? I am doing a Chemistry degree and I have my first lab session this afternoon, can't wait!

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 9:53 am

Not seen Liam around for a while. Might be an idea to start voting on the other games gents.

Yeah, I am already terrified about my third year diss. PCR = Polysomal Chain Reaction? Or have I got a different thing completely there? Started at Durham mate.

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:26 am

he hasnt been around on the furious league either fists

by Gregers Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:30 am

PCR = Polymerase Chain Reaction

You've got ages yeat mate, enjoy first and second years! Durham, good uni there mate. Got a friend in her second year doing Geography there. I'm at Sussex.

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:32 am

i will get my votes up a bit later Smile

by ShankyCricket Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:40 am

JD
Why arent you replying to my PMs mate?angry with me?

by JDizzle Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:45 am

Knew it was something like that. Yeah, just finished Freshers and it was just pure quality. Likewise Gregers, I have a friend at Sussex and I think she is doing the same course as you, but just a first year and she seems to be enjoying it there.

Will do no Shanky.

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:46 am

Don't make me jealous guys...what I wouldn't give to roll back the years and get involved in freshers week...

I live near to the University of Birmingham, and some of the females walking around the area have been truly outstanding. Fill your boots, gents.

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:47 am

Don't worry Fists, I have been Wink

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:49 am

Good man! I'm massively jealous, though...

Nearly had about 4 car crashes as I've been kerb crawling on my way home from work each evening...especially when the sun is out, it brings out the best in this latest crop!

by JDizzle Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:51 am

Split up with my girlfriend before heading up here, so glad I did now! And I will have a stare in your honour Fists! angel

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:53 am

I've established a reputation as 'the snake', tells you all you need to know really...

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:55 am

Do more than just a stare, mate! Haha. I expect reports back to the cricket board of your varying degrees of success!

Get a system in place where you report bowling figures back. So 5/50 would be 5 successes from 50 attempts Wink

The snake haha, have you got no arms or legs?

by Gregers Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:57 am

I dont think Saint has needed his arms or legs...

by JDizzle Mon 10 Oct 2011, 10:57 am

Spoiler:

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 11:03 am

That was excellent JD!

My success rates this year have been top notch, surprisingly!

by JDizzle Mon 10 Oct 2011, 11:10 am

Sainty = King Cobra then? I am definitely more the blind snake! It has been a bit hit and miss so far for me, plenty of time for improvement though, haha.

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 11:14 am

I'd say so! Haha!

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 12:50 pm

I never went to uni full time. Did it part time on a day release basis through my job...not the same.

Market research undertaken by me and a few mates (we always used to go out into the local bars on Tuesdays and Thursdays midweek - disguised as students) discovered that the course to do is psychology/social science. An immense percentage of outstanding women.

Given my time again, I'd love to have gone to uni full time on one of the aforementioned bull manure courses, in an attempt to cause some damage!

by ShankyCricket Mon 10 Oct 2011, 1:40 pm

Guys we have gone too far off the topic lol.

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 1:43 pm

Nothing wrong with a bit of fun shanky, the cricket section rarely ever goes off topic, so we can let it pass this once!

Anyway, we are waiting for people to vote, aren't we? Might as well stay entertained in the meantime Wink

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 1:52 pm

yh but fists we are meant to be voting now lol.

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 1:53 pm

Let's get started then fellas.

Mate you took my comment too seriously.It was just a joke.
I was bored reading all the chemistry talk lol as i am a commerce student.

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 2:28 pm

Didn't mean it to sound like I took it seriously mate.

Chemistry? Sod the chemistry, it was the talk of the 18yr old female freshers that was keeping this conversation interesting Very Happy

by ShankyCricket Mon 10 Oct 2011, 2:34 pm

Beautiful girls oh mate dont talk abt thew.I will go so deep into their thoughts that i will forget all my cricket Very Happy

by ShankyCricket Mon 10 Oct 2011, 2:36 pm

I personally think there should be a thread regarding beautiful young girls in the off topic section where we shall post their pics. Very Happy

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 2:43 pm

guys not sure whether to vote cos there is still one game where we are waiting for tactics..

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 2:54 pm

I'd say just vote if you're ready to, and we can add the other game after.

I've not seem liam about for ages so it may be best to just go ahead and vote.

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 2:55 pm

ok mate fair enough, he has been replaced on the furious league, which i thought was a bit harsh

by **Fists of Fury** Mon 10 Oct 2011, 2:59 pm

Yeah people should be given chance to explain, it could be something serious for all anybody else knows...

by ShankyCricket Mon 10 Oct 2011, 3:02 pm

Exactly mate,people have more important things to do in life than participate in a hypothetical fantasy league on a forum.

by Liam_Main Mon 10 Oct 2011, 4:09 pm

I told YI that I wasn't competing in the Furious League anymore so it's alright lads. I will only be away for a few weeks gonna try to knuckle down at 6th form (I seem to have turned stupid in the last few months) I will come on here to do the IPL Fantasy League and hopefully will be involved in Shanky's. My votes will be in later on.

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 4:11 pm

we need a toss for game 4.

Fair enough. I'm kind of in the same situation. You in the second year?

by JDizzle Mon 10 Oct 2011, 5:46 pm

Just had my first lab session, three hours on a Monday afternoon isn't perfect but the two girls who work next to me and my lab partner... randy

Game 1 - Delhi win - Morkel rips a few wickets out early and the RR innings never recovers. DD get off to a flying start despite losing three wickets in the PP, but are so far ahead of the rate that they can cruise home.

Game 2 - Kings XI win- Controversial one here. Kings batting first is crucial for me as my take is that on tough pitches like this scoreboard pressure is normally crucial and Kings have a strong enough line up to post a good score batting first. The equaliser is of course the potent CSK batting line up, but I think Hussey goes for a rare failure and despite a lone hand from Dhoni, who I think personally is too low at 7, CSK fall short with Dhoni stranded not out.

Game 3 - My match.

Game 4 - Will vote after toss.

Game 5 - Mumbai win - Another incredibly close game against two of the top sides, but I think that the fact that the Indiand top order was brought up on these pitches is crucial and they navigate a difficult chase well after KKR get up to just above par score despite Malinga.

by JDizzle Mon 10 Oct 2011, 5:47 pm

I apoligise for dragging this thread back on topic. I much preferred discussing the merits of the hotness of freshers.

by Guest Mon 10 Oct 2011, 6:10 pm

my vote will go up later on tonight
