Archived [18/10/06] : Battrick

[Jungle Jumbo]

Easy win for me against another bot, playing a 2nd XI with a few 1st team players thrown in. To try and make wiping the floor with bots every week a bit more interesting, I'm changing the batting order each week.

Zebras 328-3
M Bhutia 51, R Chanderpaul 153, S Blackburn 87*
Mysore CC 195 all out
M Ali 2-27, S Stannage 2-50, A Singh 3-42, D Flint 2-22

I have often noticed when playing against bots that their tailenders always seem to score runs. I had them 119-8 there, and should have finished them off. Is the problem low stamina?

 

[Jamee999]

They don't bat in the right order.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Loving the bowling averages...

1) Nigel Lewis, Dynamo Morpork 5-1-9-3
2) Earnest Beechers, Dynamo Morpork 14-2-25-6
3) (some 3wide bowler)
4) Dwight Tuck, Dynamo Morpork 14-1-49-7

Probably need to shuffle Shaka down from the opening spot, tho. 0 & 4 in these games.

Lost today against "billynomates" My batting just wasn't up to it really, and my bowlere were never really gonna defend 198. I did put the wrong person as keeper though, but I still would have lost. Looks like I'll struggle to stay up this season.

BTW Xuhaib, is your team in Pakistan, and if so what division are you in?

No im playing in Sri Lankan league IV division.

Hmm... there's definitely something wrong with PFL. Canning was on moderate last Saturday, and he's not gone up at all over the week, despite having proficient stamina.

Just ordered major ground upgrades, ground capacity will be a whopping 46k at the end of it. I won't have to order new upgrades for a while hopefully but in the mean time my bank balance is the lowest it's been for a while, 450k.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

46k :|

 

[Adamc]

Bah. My season's pretty much over now, mid-table mediocrity if I'm lucky, relegation if I'm not. Managed to recover from a similar start last season, but that was only because I didn't play Watkins in the first few games. I was well ahead on ratings, but somehow Whitehorne only managed one wicket on a dusty pitch. Oh well, will concentrate on my cup defence then.

 

[AussieDominance]

Currently sitting on 2nd with two hard matches ahead in what i think is the best team in the comp but im miffed to why they have lost two matches in a row
