Oh that's got to suck. You're still going to win anyhow.

Iridium XI won by 134 runs

Yuss!!

 

[Chewie]

What do the match ratings mean?

 

[hedger_14]

Just the team ratings. So you can see who had the better team on paper. Slow start from us. 16/0 from 5.4 overs. At least I haven't lost a wicket.

 

[Tarzan]

A friendly won yesterday was quite exciting. I was playing against Handsome's team. Target was 254 and lost 5 wickets. Scored was 127/5 in 28.2 overs. Require 127 runs from 130 balls. All rounder Alfred Cush came to bat. Gautam Gambhir was at another end.

Both shared 123-runs partnership and clinch an incredible victory. Alfred scored 50*. Gambhir was out on 137 off 133 balls with 10x4 and 1x6

 

[hedger_14]

Well I don't know why I'm doing so badly. Probably got something to do with the pitch. I probably am the better team on paper looking at their players' attributes. All their bowlers are expert and below and they have 2 outstanding batsman and the rest are below while I have many outstanding players and 3 spectacular. Anyway, currently 108/5 from 33 overs, Oldroyd batting well on 28* off 42 with Fiebig on 17* off 36.

This is the player who took 4 of the wickets.

Apart from being a fast bowler, I don't know why he bowled so well.

 

[hedger_14]

If I can score 160 from my 50 overs, I'll have a pretty good chance if LeBron James, Phillips and Kwistel can bowl well. Currently 130/6 after 41 overs, Oldroyd just getting out for 32 off 64. Fiebig is 26* off 61. All I need is for the tailenders to stick in there.

fearsome tweak. I'm now 137/9 with Fiebig out for 30 off 65.

 

[Tarzan]

In FTP fast bowlers, on seam favoring pitches, are more effective and even if he is left arm bowler, he is more effective. Endurance is capable.

 

[Chewie]

Haha just saw you lost two quick wickets

 

[hedger_14]

I lost 5 wickets in 3.3 overs. Bowled out for 141. I only have one fast medium bowler. Rest are medium or spinners.

I went from 5/64 to 5/124 to 141 all out.

hedger_14 added 4 Minutes and 23 Seconds later...

Phillips strikes in the first over, McDonald out LBW for a duck. 1/1 and I really needed early wickets.

 

[thedon5]

haha. nice close match between the 2 of you there. Green underline means a skill has improved while a black underline means it has decreased. Only had 4 pops this week.

Zafar Ali's technique to outstanding
Stephen Byrne's experience to capable
Jake Miller's endurance to reliable
Thomas Taafe's experience to average

I've got Chewie and Iridium's team for my first 2 games in the PC league so that should put me in a good position. Then I have Wanderer's team though.

A skill decreasing is a red underline, mate.

The technical terms for skill increasing are a pop, and the technical term for a skill decreasing is a plop.

The rel keeper is much better, though try and get his fielding up a touch to ordinary when you are happy with his batting. Fielding is required for keepers too.

@Wanderers: Left arm dosen't make a player more effective, he will just perform slightly better if there are more right hand bowlers than left hand bowlers as there is a greater variety.

I won my friendly by 227 runs, made 391/6 on a hard/sunny, then they made 164 all out.

Loving the ratings.

Now I made 325/4 on a flat/humid for my OD game, a pleasing total seeing that we're at the bottom of the 1.1 table.

End of over 2 (9 runs) - Kings XI Punjab(10-0). 316 runs required from 48 overs. RR 5.00 RRR 6.58

Arabhata Mhambrey, my great batsman, made a century in both matches .

 

[hedger_14]

I have no idea why I said black. I meant red.

 

[thedon5]

I have no idea why I said black. I meant red.

Lol.

Wow, well this is harsh, this bloody harsh. Lost my game on the last ball, what a bloody nightmare. Hence why I hate flat, I can't believe I used to play on the pitch at home. The chasing team ALWAYS wins.

Can't believe I'm still bottom of div 1... Looks like this will be the season I leave div 1, it's been a good 3 seasons so far.

 

[hedger_14]

Wow. That game was so close. Unlucky not to win. I play my youth games on flat pitches and senior's on dry although I may change that.

 

[hedger_14]

Aaaravinda Habeebulaah could play in his first ever NAT U19 match today for Sri Lanka. Let's hope he gets his chance. He is one of 2 wrist spinners in the squad.

 

[hedger_14]

Damn it. He wasn't selected.
