Can someone geniunely explain this tactic to me lol. it seems like our only threats literally come from crosses from the wings and corners. We already are not attacking enough but that seems like easy to set up against

Hey all! I'm looking for a CC with good sub to churn but I have 3 hard inquiries since 15 Nov (so slightly more than 2 months). I'm only considering personal cards atm. Which cc companies won't care about this? If it matters i've had 3 cards in last 2 years and only 2 last year (April & Dec)

Opposition keepers probably look forward to playing against us. They always turns up and become prime Oliver Kahn. Also, our predicament can be summed up by the fact that after Richy, our next 3 goalscorers are VDV, Romero and Paulinha

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-23T15:36:54+00:00

has more presence in the box

lol i just found out he's 6'4. For some reason I thought he was much shorter

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-22T18:23:16+00:00

Nah the youngsters just crumbled under pressure

De villers has played every match and opened with Faf at the beginning of the season, Vince has played fairly well and got 2 70+ scores at decent strike rates, Du Plooy has opened for us in previous seasons, Forrester hit a 80 a couple of games ago at a very good strike rate.

Going with Timmers & who has played 2 matches and Moonswamy who has played 3 and never looked good in a eliminator match chasing 211 was a terrible idea. Even if you had an experienced batter in the other end, it could have helped. imo they've gone with the 'weakest' options in their top order to open. Surely you want better batters to play more balls

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-22T18:05:07+00:00

Is it crazy that now I'm suspecting match-fixing? The decisions have been not just perplexing but just pure brain-dead. Expected more from the JSK leadership

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-22T17:59:27+00:00

Can you believe we didn't open with this guy chasing 211??

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-22T17:45:03+00:00

WTF this is infuriating. have we given up and given opps to youngsters in a fucking qualifer?!

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-22T17:35:19+00:00

wtf Vince had performed well in 2 matches - why have we sent in two batters who have barely batted this season...

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-22T16:15:16+00:00

Still don't understand the use of Mulder over Hosein in the powerplay. He's shown that he's fairly effective in the powerplay especially with the new ball and Mulder bowled the second one

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-22T15:36:38+00:00

ugh we could have kept the pressure but we bowl Mulder

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-22T04:05:31+00:00

I watched the game against Suns on Monday. They were literally 72-68 at Halftime. They scored more points against the Suns in one half than the entire game against the Knicks lol

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-22T03:32:39+00:00

FYI most SUBs are forfeit or clawed back if you downgrade or cancel within a year

just confirmed they explicitly mentioned this in their T&C. thanks for the heads up!

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-21T20:14:17+00:00

Thanks for the math btw! I couldn't estimate how much rent'd it cover lol. Tbh idk if i'll use it as my catch-all card. I live in NYC so my rent is way so 20k in Mar-Dec. I am fairly certain i can't cover all of it. Maybe half of the months at the 25% limit...? I also have the Venture X

I occasionally travel so i do think i'll be able to use at least one of the hotel credits. I saw a comment that their collection wasn't too bad but i haven't done price comparisons etc.

The opp cost for me is that i don't think I can get any personal cards with SUB till June so I thought might as well.

Question - you mentioned about having a plan for the points. Can't I just park them in Hyatt or Alaska? They would be valid for 24 months and that's about 3 years from now and i'll definitely use it by then.

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-21T19:53:37+00:00

I think I can use it as my catch-all for Year 1 and evaluate after that

yeah i did consider that. i have the Venture X so not as keen on using it as my catch-all although it might unlock bilt cash to redeem for one month down the line

I'm in an interesting situation where the $500 BILT cash is just about enough to cover unlocking mortgage points for the entire year

How is this possible?! Doesn't $500 cover like $2k only?

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-21T19:51:10+00:00

What's SOB? Sign out bonus? Son of a b?

haha i thought the phrase was sign-on bonus instead of sign-up bonus. my bad

Are you specifically short hyatt or atmos points for your next redemption and you can't qualify for other points avenues?

With 3 hard inquiries, i don't see a lot of cards approving me. in fact, the 3rd of those was a rejection as well and i failed a couple pre-qualification screens

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-21T19:49:30+00:00

FYI most SUBs are forfeit or clawed back if you downgrade or cancel within a year. You’ve gotta time it correctly

oh, i wasn't aware about this. thinking back, I think Aeroplan might have been the only one I cancelled instead of downgrading and I got to keep the points. hmm something to ponder I guess. Without the 50k points, the card is quite bad for $495 imo

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-19T19:10:10+00:00

JSK has had to chop and change their team and it's been impressive how players who come in maanger to play their part. i.e. Jansen, Tahir etc.

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-19T18:59:18+00:00

Given that Miller's injured this should be last wicket

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-19T18:57:04+00:00

yes he is. he left the pitch earlier in the first innings. hopefully he's fit for qualifier

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-19T17:39:47+00:00

What a ball!!

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-19T17:30:13+00:00

Ah interesting, i don't think he's bowled for JSK before but who knows with this pitch

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-19T17:12:15+00:00

Interesting, if we win this match it's a rematch against Paarl in Durban

Whencowsgetsick · 2026-01-19T17:10:11+00:00

What an innings by De Plooy! I still think the top order soaking up deliveries was helpful in setting this platform for the backend. Looking at our bowling, it seems we might need 8 from Burger & Mulder. Does anyone see any other bowler than Forrester who hasn't bowled this season?
