Match Thread Exhibition Match: Fulmina A v Keptin A

[FootyGuy13]

Sweet Cricket Association Exhibition Match
Fulmina A v Keptin A



Welcome to the first officially unofficial hit-out between 2 of the original Sweet Cricket teams. This game will be trying to emulate other games where the team names end in "A" as it will give those at Fulmina and Keptin the chance to see if their draft targets are on the money or missing the broad side of the barn. This game will be played at Dun Lop stadium as the pitch has yet to be taken out since the Qooty Grand Final is still ages away.

With both teams already signing up their allotted 6 players each, both teams already have half of their side selected. Playing for Fulmina we Captain and Wicketkeeper FootyGuy13 along with bowlers Gralin and Ocha905, batters Dinsdale and spudmaster plus Pure All-Rounder Tonga Bob. Lining up for Keptin is Captain and Leg Breaker Chipmunk, Batters tony, MP_ and por_please_ya, bowler MC Bad Genius and Batting All-Rounder MWPP.

This game will start on the 14th of November at the convenience of the match poster with the finer details such as pitch type and full teams to be posted later today (or, if you're Chip, before 1pm comes around again). With a bit of player movement in the lead up to the draft, I have no idea who is what type anymore so akkaps cats2rise am I able to go off what types people were from a week ago or not?


While we wait for an answer, and without further ado, let's get this thread going.

Oh, and if you're reading this and you want to find out more and register to put yourself in contention to play in the league proper, please sign up to the Sweet CA here.​

We're not the ones travelling from another country just to play a reserves match.

Just because you can do it mate, doesn't mean you should.

Kinda disappointed, especially with Chipmunk, MWPP and por_please_ya, that the team wasn't named the Discord Qricket Qrew.

Can someone get billed in a game of qricket? Asking for me.

Only if you struggle to reach double digits with the bat again. We need ODI Bevan levels of Pure All-Rounder, not Test Bevan levels.

Conflicting emotions immediately. Rapt to be batting at 3, disappointed that it's a bowlers pitch.

The name's Marsh. Mitch Marsh.

Ah, preparing your pitch against oir batting depth. Makes sense with us having only 3 specialist bowlers to your 4.

Then again, Barrybran and MWPP ‘s bowling last match was a great 4 and 5, so let’s see!

Gee there's some great music taste in that list!
And por_please_ya...

Tag me, coward.

I see after dropping you from the Chipmunk XI you formed a new gutter band

Enjoy your minor hits and pub tours while we continue to have sold out stadiums all around Sweet.

Okay, but how many runs did they concede? What was their economy?

Also, not my fault you named your team first. I was always gonna go for a bowling pitch since we've had 2 normal pitches so far and all I had to change was find a Barrybran replacement. (That's right, I was gonna have TWO Pure all-rounders!)

 

[FootyBot13]

Mate, I join the Song Contest once a year and I know what por_please_ya votes for, how haven't you figured it out?

I prefer your earlier hits tbh, back when it was all about the music.

I do have some Calabrian blood through my father's side: the Degrazia family.

I'm sure I'll fit right in.

Haha I used discord for the first time in at least months if not years recently because messenger was glitchy

Gee there's some great music taste in that list!
And @por_please_ya...

I love your taste and went through a phase of giving you 5’s

And to be fair on por_please_ya she kept the current theme “in house” - a nod to our team

Welcome to Day 1 of this Exhibition Match between Fulmina A and Keptin A.

The deck is very green at the Fulmina Recreation Reserve, which will favour the bowlers. With some cloud cover, the aim will be to win the toss and bowl first.

FUN FACT: Keptin named 4 spinners and only one pace bowler, and the sim DOES NOT LIKE. As such, Barrybran has miraculously ditched spin for pace in this match.

FUN FACT #2: I never knew the sim wouldnt work with only one pace bowler.
