Huh, I seem to have lost. Yea, it ain't really hard to beat my team.

 

[Chewie]

You're fourth on the table though

Your match rating is getting pretty close to mine so our match will be quite close and interesting

Your bowling is better than mine, while my batting and keeper is better.

I've completed the signing of Watkin for $400,000 and he better live up to that price tag. Him being a fast bowler will help though. I'll train him on strength until his power is average then chuck him on bowling to try and get it up to spectacular before giving him strength or endurance training.

Keep your all assets safe until our match. And try not to be defeat at huge margin...

 

[hedger_14]

don't worry. I still have 1M.

Watch me plummet to last when I play Wanderers team. :laugh

I'm the only person with a match rating that's below 100k. My keeper does drag me down a bit. Might look for another keeper. Also my usual openers are the same ones I got when I first started. They haven't done too badly.

Yea, I'm pretty keen to see how I do against you. I'm picking you'll probably get the better of me. Lets hope Thirunarayan scores big. He seems to take a liking to you.

 

[Chewie]

You should fire or sell a few of your seniors because you have more than 22.

And yes that guy was extremely annoying

 

[Iridium]

Yea I think I will biff a few out. Doubt anyone would wanna buy any of my players. Most of them are pretty useless.

 

[Chewie]

Their openers had been doing pretty well but then Baddewithana came in, took a wicket in his second over, and two in his third They're 63/4 now

Chewie added 7 Minutes and 19 Seconds later...

hahaha my RF bowler came in and took two wickets in his first over :laugh

64/7 now, and I think my NRR should increase by quite a lot after this match.

Chewie added 1 Minutes and 3 Seconds later...

And then another bowler comes back for his second spell and he also takes 2 wickets in his first over back :laugh

 

[hedger_14]

What are Baddewithana's figures?

 

[Chewie]

Here's the match: From the Pavilion - Free Online Cricket Management Game

He's 5-1-18-3 at the moment. But I think they'll be bowled out before he bowls again.

 

[hedger_14]

He's just too good.

Can't wait to see how my new fast bowler goes.

 

[Chewie]

And he took their last wicket with his first ball of his second spell. They made 87. I reckon I could get there in 6 overs?

Chewie added 9 Minutes and 23 Seconds later...

Ok we're not going quite as fast as I thought but we'll still make the total within 15 overs or so

 

[Iridium]

Boy that was a shocker. Couldn't even bowl my opposition out. They managed 179/9 from their 50 overs. Shameful...

 

[hedger_14]

Bowling first. 9/0 they are after 3 overs. I need an early wicket on this green pitch.

 

[hedger_14]

52/2 after 13 overs. One run out and Kwistel took the other wicket. Figures of my bowlers so far are:

Watkin 0/18 (5)
Phillips 0/25 (5)
Kwistel 1/4 (2)
James 0/4 (1)

Now I need to dismiss their other opener who is currently 33*.

hedger_14 added 11 Minutes and 38 Seconds later...

Some excellent bowling from Kwistel is keeping them restricted. They are 66/2 at 3.88 an over, with Kwistel having taken 1/8 from 4. James also bowling pretty well with 0/12 from 3.

hedger_14 added 16 Minutes and 55 Seconds later...

84/2 after 22. Need another wicket though.

Kwistel has taken 1/11 off 6 and is really keeping it tight. Their opener is on 50* off 76.
