Shit, I was all ready for my OD game today, getting my orders in and almost creating a thread on the sledging only to realise that the game doesn't start until tomorrow
I'm against last place in my league, giving Hornby his OD debut, because his fitness is at moderate, which I can cope with against this team. Also handing Nicky Fernandes his first start for our team, batting at number 6, and being the third bowler.
Gun, it's really pissing me off that my gun all-rounder (who is on 5 nets) can never play because of PFL, hes my 6th best bat and 4th best bowl, but this time next season he will be my best bat and best bowl, so its worth not being able to play him. Also he is a RF destructive which is gun
My AR is on 9 nets, and I can play him. Albeit with moderate fitness, but that's not the point. What are those 5 nets?
Well hes on lively at the moment, but I don't like playing people below invigorated... 2 bat, 2 bowl and a stamina net. I do play him every few weeks, but as I always play on GFI as you can understand he loses a few levels from GFIing and bowling 10 overs and battings as well as being on 5 nets!
Yeah fair enough, I normally don't play anyone who isn't sublime unless I will be short of a team. I'm only playing Hornby because it's pretty much an auto win for me.
Marcus, check the OP. I'm playing kegdrinker, his team seems pretty solid BTR wise so I'm sure it will be a close game. I play Boyle every OD game despite him being on 4 nets. He's usually lively/invigorated by Saturday. He's by far my best batsman and bowler so he usually carries my team despite his low PFL.
I'll be able to play Hornby frequently next season, especially if he misses out on U19's. Will be good having more than one net free. Can finally work on Campbell's feeble stamina and save Ahmed from his decaying stamina (he's 33).

First time Rigler has scored more then 30 in OD.
Won 1/3 of my 2020 games, the second one was real close and I managed a remarkable top order, won my OD match comfortabley.
I won two of my T20 games by accidentally forgetting to change my best team, at least they were TIE'd.
