I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Some bots have okay players, around the 7000k mark who do alright. As a whole, they're pretty crap and my second XI full of competents wiped them up.

BARNES OUT
They've gotten better. Their PFL's have been moved from permanently drained to permanently fresh. They're still easy-beats though.

Heh; my opponent BT-mailed me out of the blue to say he's got no idea how this has happened either. "Bare-faced robbery" he described it as, which is a bit generous, but hey.

Always satisfying to beat an older team, innit? And he's been playing over a year and a half longer than you.

Borcich's team is a bot. Probs one of the better one's out there.

Looking like I'm going to get a victory in my match. Good result considering their big first innings total. Great second innings bowling from Gordon and Tranter.

Yep! I'm pretty stoked. Got to take these last few wickets before the party starts though.Always satisfying to beat an older team, innit? And he's been playing over a year and a half longer than you.
I have a bot tomorrow, so we should breeze through that. I'll give Kepler and Woods a run out though, just to be sure.

Anything I can do, they can do as well. These guys are fighters, looks like I might have to bat again. Very annoying.

Second innings even worse than the first; all out for 138, to lose by an innings and 128 chuffing runs. Ratings:

Rubbish. Sounds like the other guy was as surprised as you though? I guess it's just one of the quirks that go hand and hand with Battrick?
As for my game:
The players are off the field for lunch.
End of Over 69 (Maiden). Weedon Warriors: 229-8, runrate=3.32 (1st Inn: 262-10)
Trail by 16 runs. (The Heath CC 507-7 dec)
Hennessy 12-3-27-3
Wharton* 50 (67 balls)
Coppinger 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Henderson b. Hennessy 66 (FOW: 229/8)
68.6 W Hennessy to Henderson
Ball pitched in the rough, moves back and makes a mess of the batsman's stumps. He totally misjudged that delivery.
Hennessy finally breaks their 8th wicket stand with the last ball before lunch. Touch and go as to whether we'll have to bat again. I have to go into Uni now, which is a bit of a bore. C'est la vie.

Apart from the one level of top order he is better then you every else. Could have gone either way, not worthy of an innings loss though.

Well quite - I think even with my players at full fitness he would've been the slim favourite, but it's the sheer scale of the whupping that has me scratching my head. I didn't want to double-promote anyway, so no great loss, it's just a bit weird is all.
