Archived [18/10/06] : Battrick

[andyc]

There's one guy in my league who dominates. Very annoyed, I'm easily second best, 2 games off. Next season

There's no way I can lose my league from here, and my NRR of 26.78 puts me at number 87 on promotion, which means I should be automatically promoted

Good start for the Windies after being sent in:

End of Over 21: 119-1, runrate=5.67
Asghar 4-0-28-0
Summers* 41 (48 balls)
Julian 1 (2 balls)

Last Wicket: Seargeant c. Maimatullah b. Sarfraz 68 (FOW: 102/1)

Pakistan should be a bit of a pushover really, hopefully we can get 300+ then bowl them out for not too many.

Grr Summers just got runout.

[33/3from3.3]

end of Over 36: 194-3, runrate=5.39
Sarfraz 8-0-39-2
Julian* 40 (42 balls)
Cuss 3 (12 balls)
thats good considering the pitch is green aye

 

[Adamc]

Yeah it's OK, though green pitches in BT are much better for batting than green pitches in real life. Julian's doing well, and Cuss is starting to get going now. Hopefully both of them will still be around for the slog.

 

[33/3from3.3]

Indeed

 

[Adamc]

Disappointing collapse at the end to 277-8. We should be able to defend that though. Surprised that a worthless batsman managed to score 10 runs.

 

[Adamc]

Looks like we've pretty much wrapped this one up.

End of Over 10: 46-5, runrate=4.60, reqrunrate=5.80 (277-8)
Baker 5-0-23-4

 

[GotSpin]

Looking forward to my league match tommorow playing a human team with woeful seam bowling

 

[33/3from3.3]

Pakistan have gone from 46/5 to 101/6 but are way behind the rr
might be close who knows

 

[andyc]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to mine, I wanna see how my new proficient YP goes, I just hope we get to bat first

 

[Adamc]

Another wicket to Baker, second WI player to get a five-wicket haul. 104-7 now, I'll be surprised if they get even remotely close. Janes has still got another five overs so if they managed to get to 40 overs they shouldn't get much further than that.

 

[andyc]

Pretty easy win in the end for you there, Adam, good stuff

 

[Adamc]

Yeah, a bit annoying that we couldn't finish it off quickly though, they put on 105 for the last 4 wickets. Decent ratings for a TIE:

[b]Pakistan 	West Indies[/b]
Top Order: 	superb 	remarkable
Middle Order: 	strong 	superb
Lower Order: 	feeble 	woeful
Seam Bowling: 	strong 	remarkable
Spin Bowling: 	useless quality
Fielding: 	competent competent

Pakistan's fitness didn't change so they must've played on Normal. Sri Lanka next week will be very tough.

 

[GotSpin]

You got those ratings on TIE well done though

 

[andyc]

Surprise surprise, I flattened another bot team team today, am getting quite bored with it.

Magical Ponies (TIE) 1/364
Kenna 182* (154), Andrew 140 (134), Griffin 26* (17)

Malvern east CC 90 (20 overs)
Heard 5/24 (7), Cave 3/23 (5), Andrew 1/30 (5)

For once the tail end didn't get away from me, which I'm happy with. I would have liked Griffin, my new YP, to have had a bit more of a bat though.

Reporter's Summary
Malvern east CC Magical Ponies
Top Order: abysmal mediocre
Middle Order: abysmal mediocre
Lower Order: woeful abysmal
Seam Bowling: abysmal mediocre
Spin Bowling: worthless mediocre
Fielding: feeble feeble

 

[Adamc]

Do you guys TIE all your matches against bots? Seeing as fitness has such a big effect on reporter's summary ratings I would be tempted (if I were in your position) to TIE all season and max out fitness and morale, just to see what ratings you get. I think if any of you had done that your ratings would be sufficiently high by now to win the BT cup...

That's a good idea, should have thought of it. There's two humans in my league so I just TIE until I play one of them, and then I GFI.

 

[GotSpin]

I have to go normal because there aren't any bots in my league, and my fitness is already moderate

Didn't win the toss so unfortunaly i couldnt bat first. bowled them out for 160 and chased that down in 22 overs
