Kinda wondered that myself. I assume he had a relatively poor Div IV league, where his bowlers just cleaned everyone up.

End of Over 35: 155-2, runrate=4.43
Chanderpaul 8-0-35-2
Warnock* 79 (97 balls)
Bunce 0 (1 balls)
Last Wicket: Snodin lbw b. Chanderpaul 1 (FOW: 155/2)

 

[Nate]

Battered Savs - 221/10 off 49.5 overs
Hotte 88 (130)
Oakes 49 (78)
Hindle 5/48 (9.5)
Holmes 2/67 (10)

defeated by

Brackenhurst - 222/3 off 42.3 overs
Hamlin 117* (110)
Bardle 89 (129)
Penn 2/28 (7)


Struggled through. Bowlers didn't really penetrate and we rested Burnip, and at 18/2, I didn't think we'd chase it down. Hammers is just ridiculous and Bardle played one of his best ever knocks opening the batting to get us home. Best side.

 

[Johnners]

Haha, awesome win (y)

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Smashed a Div 3/5 team in the Cup, who was fielding a Sri Lankan international LFM bowler - who only took one wicket.

Beat him by 9 wickets with 27 overs remaining. His star bowler took only the one wicket, despite bowling his full compliment of overs. Happy days.

Blue Star CC - 108 all out (Acton 3-11)
Connells - 111 for one (Middleton 49*)

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Went out of the cup to a much stronger side. TIE'd it, so wasn't expecting anything else really.

Not sure if I should stop his keeping there, or go 1 more level, which he should make by the end of the season. Also, according to AtStumps, if I cut him back to 1 batting net, he'll be just sensational by the end of next season, as opposed to half way through sensational by staying on the 2 batting nets he's on now. Not sure what I'd do with the net though.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

What's this AtStumps bejango and how do you use it?

 

[Johnners]

It's a java program that does all sorts of wonderful things apparently. I've only started using it to help with training as it gives you estimates etc.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Might have a tinker later. How do you upload your team?

Busy at work today Clapster? Big convo with Smitty going on in the background I see

 

[Johnners]

At home studying, tbf. Note the consumer behaviour notes in the background (H)

To upload your team, you have to view/copy/past the page source (for IE, or frame source, for FireFox) into the program. Has an instructions notepad as well iirc.

Beamont popped to Sensational conc, that is all.

Should probably be one of the biggest days in my BT life. But tbh I couldn't really give a toss, with abysmal bowling form Jeithoon is useless. Back to FTP.

An interesting programme, but all my players have been imported at a flat value (e.g. 11.00) rather than 11.xx. For example, a guy who's a Superb bat, but who's not popped in ages, despite have a batting net is still at 10.00 in the programme!

Is this how the programme works, or am I doing something wrong?

Anyway, my one increase this week:

Presume it doesn't take sub levels into account until the player has been in the program for a while. So they all start on xx.00, until a player pops.

Never used it so just guessing.
