It's also to say, what if Shaun Marsh hadn't bowled that over. Considering his over was the same as the winning margin.

Made that point, how on earth the sim picks Marsh to bowl an over out of 5 bowlers, plus ledzep and others it takes Marsh, that in my mind is just BS, if the damn thing is broken fix it.
I am considering a formal complaint to the PCPL (equivalent of the ICC) on this. Maybe in season 3 (if it happens) PCPL owners should not take part in the tournament

Yeah BB tried complaining... The point is that we didn't make the sim and we can't fix it.
You just have to plan around it.

Hey, we dropped catches too and we've also suffered from the batsman bowling problem (as you can see from our bowling stats).
I was amazed that you a/ played Vettori when international bowlers have been rubbish in the PCPL and he hasn't batted yet and b/ only played 5 bowlers.
There is a hell of a lot of luck in this game but you can still employ some tactics.

Gives you a balanced attack with a spinner, 6 bowlers, Vettori's high batting average actually being used and dropping your out-of-form players.

Colin, first you guys benefited from our bad play in the field, sure Ollie was dropped on 9 and out for 11 and Travder was dropped on 13 and out for 34, so your mistakes in the field did not hurt you.

As for the team you selected or would have had, you forgot we could only filed 2 internationals!!!

Out of interest what is the sim that we could pay for called? Would be interested in having a look at it.

 

[Simbazz]

The sim is shocking at times, even I agree with that one!!

 

[Biggy]

Oh well, it happens. We played 5 bowlers a few games ago and the sim made Simbazz bowl an over, lol.

Next game then.
As for saying the drops didn't hurt us that's only because we won and is a ridiculous arguement

You couldn't beat us with 4 so how were 3 going to help you?

It's made by Dan Thomas - pretty old by now though.
