    Stumped!

    Its difficult setting orders to play yourself isnt it?!? just done it for the 1st time- pretending you dont know what you know - so i just picked my best team orders for the relevant surface and ignored what i had tapped in..... Very curious......

    Joshua slashes a 4 - that's just so wong! ;) OK - that was a fantastic match to watch (really I would have said it if the last ball had gone for a single instead!) - I feel your pain Free HK - I had the same experience last week (and thought I was going to have another snatched away) - this...

    Kovrig gone - Wild Geese are taking off and circling the pitch with increased conviction....... still a lot to do with so few runs to play for and so many overs....O Docherty is not the man (if you are a Geese fan) you'd wish to see coming onto bowl.....

    The Bujy Ins just haven't put the runs on the board - 205 is really a 5-10% chance on this pitch. FHK always has super fielding (70k) and yet again this led to two run outs - players who could bat and might have inched the Buy Ins to a more competitive total........ FHK have only lost 2 wkts at...

    CUP WAFFLE! So far I have always felt disappointed when the CUP schedule came out. I have no right to , it is just a knee jerk reaction to the fact (so far) I have always been beaten (don't check I may be exaggerating and won 1!). With 242 teams in Stumped, and Jura ranked 115 at the moment...

    Some comfort is that Greenfielders is the lowest ranked team in the Stumped world of any that have been founded for 8 years + !

    Well done Zzorax - Furqan and Ghani were just far too hot to handle! ?

    Are you sure this is the way to go? - leading with your Kock can lead to some dangerous knee -jerk decisions

    Thanks - so there is a sort of no man's land of 10 days that belongs to no season? I am a statto nerd (not a c one!) and it is painful not to have a beginning and end of season - not least for working out your Balance Sheet and P+L from one season to the other and for your players (who are...

    Guys can I ask you a few admin questions about the Stumped game please. Season 29 is finishing - what is the last day of Season 29 and the first of Season 30? When will the new divisions be created? When will we see the forthcoming fixtures for SOD/20/DEV shown? The next Coaching/IGT uplift to...

    I put out a decent enough side- all the usual faces- as a friendly I did try some more agressive batting - so I have either learnt not to be so agressive or that FHK have a very good bowling attack (which I knew already!!)

    ***** and FHK have a manager who is very tough on them and himself! They are still the ratings kings in CWC and when the rest of us try to think of ways around their numerical superiority it is chastening to remember that in terms of experience , strategy and tactics their manager has 'been...

    Well the Buy Ins lost to Schmaltzberg by a wicket. I do enjoy these games against the Dynamos! They delight in producing such devilish wickets that you rarely see the like of ...anywhere else The fun of it is how to set your orders and then when the game begins you never know what might happen...

    A good win for Jura against TMO. On paper the expert gave the orange apes the edge - (although it was a close match up batting and bowling wise) , but the Orangutans with their exceptionally long arms are always (unsurprisingly) the best fielders and this is often the source of a key wicket...

    Denzil Jupp wants to muscle onto your list and cast Geese teammate Zondi, off the bottom of the list !

    As even the most casual followers of Jura will know (particularly amongst their CWC competitors) they are good in the 40 over DEV format but rubbish when they need to play grown ups! ...... so our season ends - remaining stuck in Div 3 of SOD and T20 but as back to back title toppers in the DEV...

    I thought your Bangladeshi report in Stumped was top notch - it was a wonderful balance of stats, facts and opinion. You may have finished 10th but the application to the job surely cannot be questioned - great enthusiasm ?
