Great tailender performances

[Dutch..]

Today I played a match in the 2024 season with Somerset against last year's champions Kent. Kent have got some really good bowlers, but Sunil (Indian top batsman) played good for the first time this year. Before this he had 80 runs @ 16 with a best of 41. He came in with Somerset in a bit of trouble at 4-83 in the second innings (effectively 123 for 4). He got a partnership with keeper Stafford of 163 after which he had 50/60-odd runs. Then came the tailenders. With Sunil on 68 and the score on 265-9 Holland came in. His career average is 9.26. Together they stood for 177 runs when Holland got out for 8 off 61! That's the way to defend your wicket and keep your partner on strike! In this partnership there were 22 extras, so Sunil had made 137 off the 177 runs!

Yeah in some games it gets unrealistic. Like on my game Ryan Sidebottom got 74 like what are the odds on that?

In cricket players improve as the years go by. Chris Gayle of the Windies was I believe the 6th or 7th man for the Windies, but now look at him. He's the starting batsmen and played captain too.

erm, at the moment quite high! :cool:

its good that tailenders wag, but if they do it too often it becomes realistic like Notts said

That is beyond stupid. If both played for 100 years they both wouldn't get a century in the one match.

It is possible.

It is possible Hayden can get 1000 runs in a single Test Match.

in my game in 2008 michael munday as well as being exceptional with the ball he isnt too bad with the bat, 23 games hes got 1 50 which was not out and an average of around 22, i think in this game he is like a bowling all rounder. Also Ryan Sidebottom is quite a decent lower order batsman
