Round 13 – Close of Play

27/1/2022

0 Comments

 
And that’s it – the BBL Competition is over for another year… ironic it ends on Round 13 as it turned out to be an unlucky one for the better known Micronations taking part…  The New Weddington Warriors had their moments, but the Lehmark Lightning struggled to get off the ground and both teams took an exit before the Finals rounds, being 5th and 6th out of 6 teams.

At the other end it came down to The Phantom vs Sangster’s Paradise with the Phantom taking the league honours – congratulations!

To be fair New Weddington and Lehmark had their work cut out, ALSO competing in the MicroNations League Soccer Cup AND  the AFL Womens’ Tipping League.

Cricket is our national sport so, to keep it ‘doable’ for hopefully more micronations next BBL Season we will trial the Mens’ and Womens’ Tipping Version of the game, similar to the AFL format – no more complexities of over-rates, batting averages etc – just straightforward tip on which team is going to win in each round’s match up. Sound good? Let us know in the comments below (no sledging 😊)

Now, who’s odd on for the next AFLW game…..?

BBL Round 12 - And now, the end is near....

18/1/2022

So it's Round 12 - the semi-finals of the Finals Knock out stages... the results show what a cruel game cricket can be, with Jesika; league leader through the comp being unceremoniously dumped out by mid-table Sangster's Paradise, who will join The Phantom, capitalising on a loss of form from from Guha's XI, in the final....

Whilst the rest of the league is a bit of a cricketing dead rubber (something I know all about being an England Cricket supporter) mention should be given to 5th and 6th place Micronational entrants - at least they both have more time to focus on the MicroLeague Soccer Cup where they both occupy the right end of the table!  Sadly no silverware though :( Maybe go for the BBL Tipping competition next year to simplify things, what do people think?

Sharp end of the MicroCricket Cup Season - Quarter finals

11/1/2022

0 Comments

 
Well that went quick! Like an England Ashes batting innings the BBL League feels like it's over before it's begun!!

Round 11 is when things get really serious as the Finals knockout rounds kick in with the top 4 vying for the glory of the MicroCricket Cup... sadly 4 into 6 doesn't go meaning the bottom two teams find themselves eliminated from the comp :(  

These are Lehmark Lightning - perennial league minnows, though they will be pleased it wasn't a whitewash thanks to a win of Guha's XI; along with the New Weddington Warriors who join Lehmark to spend more time with their football teams - despite a creditable 12 points and a decisive win in Round 10.

The leaves the top 4 slugging it out for the next 3 weeks - Jesika looking on fine form as ever with the Phantom and Sangsters Paradise both looking threatening. Guha's XI have been a bit patchy lately, dropping points against the lower - let's see if they can regain form when it counts! So congrats finalists, and to the eliminated teams don't forget: 'it's not the winning its the taking part that counts'. Actually no, it's definitely the winning that counts ;)

Important Update on Round 10

7/1/2022

0 Comments

 
We understand this has been a KFC SuperCoach BBL season like no other due to fixture uncertainty and player changes. With some fixtures still to be rearranged and Covid impacting squads, we have increased the number of trades to five for rounds 10-13.

It will be up to coaches to use their five trades each round to deal with fixture/player issues. Should any other changes be required we will advise as soon as possible.

You can now make up to five trades for Round 10, which starts tomorrow evening at 6:05pm AEDT. Remember, you can trade players throughout the round, up until the start of each player's first upcoming Round 10 match.

With the Hurricanes and Thunder playing twice in Round 10 you'll receive points for both matches, so be sure to trade and adjust your team as appropriate.

Week 7 sees Guha's XI challenging for the top spot, beating Jesika to go 3 points within number 1. The Phantom and Sangster's Paradise still doing the hokey cokey mid table - this week it's The Phantom who go third above Sangster on overall points difference.

And in the lower order we have New Weddington Warriors who stay 5th despite the second highest score of the weakest, and Lehmark Lightning chasing that elusive first win; let's see what 2022 brings... week 8 starts Sunday arvo 2nd Jan 3.30pm AEDT, use those weekly tranfers wisely....

A Cricket League of Two Halves: With All the Action in the Middle!

30/12/2021

0 Comments

 
Some interesting results week 6 - with Jesika showing further signs of fallibility - still top and winning, but the margins are getting slimmer, with New Weddington coming within 42 points to stick in 5th place. It's a close one with Sangster's Paradise missing out to Guha's XI by 6 points, dropping down to 4th - despite being equal on 9 league points with The Phantom, who brought Lehmark Lightning down to earth after last week's close game... trouncing the bottom team by 334 points!

You can now make up to three trades for Round 7, which starts this evening at 7:15pm AEDT. Remember, you can trade players throughout the round, up until the start of each player's first upcoming Round 7 match - use them or lose them!!

Umpires' Review

27/12/2021

Well, unbeaten Jelisa has finally shown she has an Achilles heel this week, with 6th place Lehmark Lightning coming within an agonisingly close 6 points for a first win ! 5th placed New Weddington Warriors go joint 4th with The Phantom on head-to-head games.. with another close score – this time the margin going in the Warriors’ favour – beating 2nd place Guha’s XI by just 4 points…

On the other hand Sangsters Paradise logged a convincing win against the Phantom to swap places – going 3rd and 4th respectively.

MicroCricket League Round 4 - are you Out for a Duck or Hitting Sixes?

23/12/2021

Well, it's becoming a war of attrition for the MicroNational soccer teams trying their hand at the MicroCricket Cup... Lehmark and New Weddington both dropping up the (admittedly small) league, and still looking for that win to scrape into mid table. Jelisa currently running away with it with 4 wins out of four - although (disclosure) she DOES work in sports journalism....
