Dec 9-13: Melbourne Bitters vs Pakastani Legends (ICL) [Semi-Final]

[The Spin]

Oh, yeah- Played a more aggressive innings just like the other batsmen and get out cheaply? I think not! Alright, you got a few wickets but nothing to get too happy about, kid- It was a green track and bowlers dominated. Let's see how you fare in the second innings.

You still only got 30, not much to be happy about. We would have got you out but we were too busy getting everyone else.

A few wickets? Make that 5. Check my sig, bowling average of 14!

Green pitch, yes that would help my spin bowling If it was dusty then fine, but it wasn't

lol as spin said, he bowls spin.... besides, just because you stayed in, doesnt make your innings any more respectable than the 30 it really was. Did you think Paul Collingwood's innings was a great one the other day? making a slow 30 while everyone collapsed around him

Too busy getting everyone else out? What, and just forget about the dangerman? And yes, 5 wickets- Well done; what do you want? Some kind of award? You still fail to acknowledge the fact that the pitch was an absolute minefield in the first innings.

I never said that I thought my innings was great. I actually regarded it as very mediocre; expected more from myself. I just pointed out the fact I was the only batsman you failed to get out to stop your gloating.

Dangerman? Where?

And yes, an award would be lovely

You think a first day pitch, no matter how bad it was, was turning and bouncing for the spinners? I dont think so. On the first day I cant see any pitch being a minefield when spinners are bowling

I never said that I thought my innings was great. I actually regarded it as very mediocre; expected more from myself. I just pointed out the fact I was the only batsman you failed to get out to stop your gloating.

And why would that stop us? Your team was all out for 130! We are going to gloat anyway.

 

[rickyp]

pfft, when we are 150 ahead after only 1 innings, and you have already lost 1 wicket, I think we own all gloating rights.

Player with the highest FC average for the Legends...Averaging over 50. If that doesn't make me a dangerman then I don't know what will.

Perhaps we should form a new ICL team together

Player     Mch  In  Runs       Avge    S/R  HS 50 100

There's still three days to go, mate. Anything can still change- Don't underestimate us!

lol, yes Brad. Nice to see you performing well for us!

We have a player who has a bat average of 81.6 in ICL (see above, its Brad!) and a bowler who has an average of 14. If you can beat either of these then you have the right to be called a dangerman

Btw it aint a green pitch, it's a poor pitch which means it suits Bowlers.

Are you not a bowler Spin?

All 3 of you have things to say and I say we should wait and see untill the 4th and final innings comes.
Shame to see us in a very poor state but we need to hold on for a draw now!

 

[rickyp]

pfft!!! poor? blazer said green so we are sticking with green!

PS: 4th innings? what 4th innings

He was the one who said a green pitch, not me. I will repeat what I said before, which Day 1 pitches have you seen which take spin?

A draw? You need to bat 3 days and only have 9 wickets to do it with!

This is a cricket simulator we are talking about here :
Not a real life pitch, If it was you'd be right but in CricSim the pitch stays the same throughout the match!

Also yes that's why I said "We need to hold on for a draw now"
I never said we were going to or that it would be easy!

And Rickyp you never know :upray

From what I have seen with Cricsim games, the pitch does seem to change through a match. For example in one of our group games in the ICL the pitch was Poor, but it didn't start playing like a poor pitch until about day 3.

 

[treva]

No that's just the way the players bat. I used to run a cricsim comp and to be honest all it rellies on is the averages. The form of the player makes the average go up and down. One game I had 500+ scores in a 4 day match on a poor pitch. So it may seem like it changes but in real fact I don't think it does.

But hey It could and I could be wrong but I don't think so
Anyway back to the match talk
