Dublin Destroyers - We won a game! Finally! I kid you not! Guinness to celebrate!

Stats are up.

Gary finally spent some time out in the middle but was too slow and another loss. :crying

Hmarka still searching for that maiden T20 wicket!

That was a good score on that pitch I guess.
We could have bowled better.
Let's leave all that behind now.
We have 9 more matches and we are gonna triumph in all of them.
Go DD:)

It's T20, you gotta be striking at 100+ at the least.

What about splitting up the batting a bit? We need more runs (and wickets!). :p

King is an absolute gun but Marshall is a bit rusty at the moment.

I liked my 12* off 4 last game.

The sim seems to be making early wickets easy to come by atm. Maybe offcutters are 3; Hobbs at 4. Try that team with an uneven pitch.
Edit: it's at Man D so they choose the pitch. Good game to kickstart our season.

barmyarmy added 4 Minutes and 23 Seconds later...

Edit2:
seems MD might choose a dusty pitch. Hmarka out and leverocks in if so.

True. I've been trying with Hooper out and Leverocks in.

We can try this order.
Something hints that this may do wonders for us;)
 
Hooper is an all rounder so we lose his batting. He's also a spinner so we're replacing a spinner with a spinner.

Try:

Has been working well for me...
 
No, our top 4 is solid.

If they pick a batsmens pitch I think we really need to take in 5 pure bowlers and then myself as the 6th option.

According to their thread Zorax wants to go with dusty.
Consistenly when I sim this King and Marshall have the worst E/Rs. What is going on?
 
Choose whatever order you think is right.
My suggestion would be Biggy opening or up at 3.
Just try it out guys.
 
I'm testing with a dusty and our batting is doing the job but we're having trouble restricting them to anything below 170.

I'm having the opposite problem :p
We're not scoring enough runs! I've now swapped Hooper and Gary in the batting order. At what point do we accept the whole process is totally random and just name whatever team we feel like?

Just about now, lol.
 
Here are the results of the 5 games I just simmed.
Runs scored by DD / result

142 / Lost
121 / Lost
142 / Lost
131 / Lost
147 / Lost

Maybe time to drop Marshall and bring Flower back in?

Edit: 5 games with Marshall out and Flower in

160 / Lost
128 / Lost
143 / Won
160 / Lost
143 / Lost

Take 3. Age of the Fall in; gary123 out.

152 / Lost
166 / Won
145 / Won
184/ Won
129 / Lost
172 / Won
160 / Lost
162 / Won

Final team was:

Simbazz
Highlander999
Sir Jack Hobbs
Andy Flower
OffCutters
Biggy (b)
Hooper (b)
Bart King (b)
barmyarmy (b)
Age of the Fall (b)
leverocks (b)

AoTF is MF not F so plays better than Hmarka on the dustbowl.
