Semi Final #1

Scoone Corinthians vs The Edgelords - County Ground, Bristol

Corinthians

Edgelords

The Edgelords won by 6 wickets.

Man of the match: Gubby Allen

 

[jimmy101]

A sterling effort from Allen sets up a fantastic win for OS. The Corinthians were in it for a while, but Hendren's good form, backed up by Ryder got the Edgelords home quite comfortably in the end.

Bad luck Samuel, I had tipped the Corinthians for the win actually! They had a great tournament nonetheless.

Semi Final #2

Honest "Zero ODIs" Hunks vs Industrial Revolution - Headingley, Leeds

Hunks

Revolution

Honest "Zero ODIs" Hunks won by 118 runs.

Man of the match: Trevor Goddard

HB has done it! (Watkins 2 wickets from 3 balls, WTF?)

Commiserations to Teuton, who had been really doing well up until this point. However, after making 270 the previous match, to be all out for 79 is really heartbreaking. Better luck next time mate.

FINAL

HB v OS

Lords, London

 

[Teuton]

Well that was a disappointing end to a great tournament.
Good luck to the finalists.
Thanks for running it Jimmy, was a great idea to be able to imagine these great players in ODIs.
The sim seems quite credible too in general across the tournament and i think it seemed to capture the momentum of a game well.
Looking forward to the next comp.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Disappointing, but sometimes collapses happen. Good luck to OS and hb, I'll play with the league winners trophy as consolation prize.

 

[jimmy101]

Post your teams when ready guys

Hope to see the semis soon.

Once again, I wish all the teams major luck.

 

[jimmy101]

Semis have already been played mate. We're just waiting on HB to post his XI for the final. I know you said you were going to be busy HB so no rush mate.

Oh sheet, I have missed that.

Well, get the final over quick!

I am eagerly awaiting the start of the next sim league

Some more stats (bearing in mind I'm bound to have made some errors...):

A bit belatedly, here are the similar stats from the Super 10 stages:

209: Trevor Goddard (sr 67.42)
205: Bert Sutcliffe (sr 92.76)

190: CB Fry (sr 77.55)

Top strike rates (100+ runs)
125.77: Les Ames (122 @ 30.50)
121.36: Chandu Borde (125 @ 41.67)
117.78: Monty Noble (106 @ 21.20)
113.49: Allan Rae (143 @ 35.75)
108.81: Patsy Hendren (173 @ 57.67)

Most wickets:
16: Allan Watkins (av 8.00, ec 4.68)
13: Allan Fairfax (av 13.69, ec 6.07)
13: Vinoo Mankad (av 14.38, ec 6.00)

An XI for the Super 10s might be:
Geoff Pullar
Bert Sutcliffe
Allan Rae
Vijay Manjrekar (182 @ 36.40, sr 101.68)
Patsy Hendren
Chandu Borde
Les Ames+
Allan Watkins
Mohammad Nissar
Fred Trueman
Bapu Nadkarni

which has no players at all in common with the "best XI of the group stages"!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Come on HB!. Post yah team nah man!!

 

[Teuton]

HB building the suspense....

 

[jimmy101]

Hopefully we hear from HB soon. If not I'll sim the final with his team unchanged (don't think he's made many, if any, changes in the past few rounds).

 

[jimmy101]

By the way Andrew thank you once again for providing these stats. Nothing short of legendary!

I'm also interested to see who has won the "Teuton Trophy".

In the meantime, whilst we're waiting on HB, does anyone have any ideas/concepts they'd like to share for a future sim league. Also, what do you guys generally prefer, Test or ODI tournaments? Would anyone like to see a T20 sim league one day?

I would love to see a sim that would involve tests, preferably by players who made their debuts in a decade (60s, 70s, 80s).

Thanks

It's a shame you weren't part of ICC sim league III SillyCow, because that was the very concept we did for that sim league.

Check the thread out if you're interested in seeing how it panned out.
