[Preseason] The Friendlies Thread

[WestIndian]

Sohum/Williams can you guys list Bandits vs Spin Wizards friendly for Saturday, match 50 overs @ The Castle. Thanks.

I almost feel sorry for the Wizards, I mean, 164/0 off 26.3 at the minute, and I've just absolutely plundered 100 runs, it seriously is too easy!

Where can i see the friendly matches on the pccl website??

 

[Pranav]

The Wizards were pwned.

Great innings from Aiden, but not much else to shout about for the Sharks today.

I have sent Sohum a PM to arrange a friendly between the Smashers and the Llamas (at their place) on 7th.

Rhys, once he sets it up on the site, please add it on the first post as well.

We got absolutely wasted..

All the OD matches have been won by the chasing team

 

[McLOVIN]

^^ I was gonna say. OD tournament will suck if this happens every time

 

[sohum]

New matches have been scheduled.

 

[ARay]

We got 3 wickets! But the run rate is a concern!
MaD's wicket is vital for our interests!

Once again we aim to beat the Wanderers with a randomised line-up. So far so good. Aditya and MaD seem to bat beautifully together.

 

[Abhas]

What's with our line-up!?

 

[treva]

If no-one sets a line-up it gets randomised.

 

[WestIndian]

What's with our line-up!?

That is the point, I had no idea we had a match today, still kicking some ass anyway.

The issue with chasing teams winning easily is happening (I think) because chasing team bowlers become defensive very early. This is causing their wicket probabilities to get lower. Since in OD cricket bowlers are defensive for the most part, I've adjusted the probabilities so that even a VD bowler doesn't lose a lot of probability of getting a wicket. We'll see if this addresses the issue in the remaining preseason friendlies.
