Im really hoping I go out the cup today. I TIEd again yet we scored 255-9 against a stronger team (not that they would be stronger if I was full strength!) There 144-3 after 30 so it could go either way but I know if they are chasing 50 off the last 10 or so my last 2 bowlers will blow them away so they need to get a move on or ill be progressing against my will!

I don't understand how these First Class games work, is there something wrong or what, the team I played declared on something like 354/1 and my team went into bat and were bowled out for 1040, my key player got 689 runs in that match when they had to bat again they were bowled out for 200 or more runs leaving me with a victory of an innings and 537 runs, I'm not moaning about it but geez isn't that a bit not real? I bet any team would have declared at about 500

Did you set a decleration total?

Many bot teams or teams who didnt get chance to set orders just batted on until they were bowled out or the 3 days were up. It is a slight glitch but im sure as time goes on something will be implemented to sort it out. It is early days after all.

I've been listed as the home team for my cup game so underdog status has come to me at last.

Mt Lawley Panthers
Top Order: proficient
Middle Order: strong
Lower Order: abysmal
Seam Bowling: strong
Spin Bowling: useless
Fielding: feeble

Thought I had a chance when I looked at his last cup game but his last OD league game shows a much different story.

I played a second string side and TIEd in my cup game, thinking I'd win easily, but it turned out that the match engine had other ideas. I'm really not pleased with this at all. Match report :
Cricket Geniuses won the toss and elected to field.

Reporter's Summary
Grisham Rangers Cricket Geniuses
Top Order: mediocre respectable
Middle Order: feeble mediocre
Lower Order: worthless worthless
Seam Bowling: mediocre respectable
Spin Bowling: useless mediocre
Fielding: woeful feeble

Beat them in every category and they still managed to bowl me out for 137 !

MOTM: Mckie

Yeah, I never trust ratings anymore. I always look at team history and squad.

I might lose to equal teams, but never [except once] do I lose to crap teams...

May be, put all the bowlers on very defensive on a flat pitch.

Got 3 of them ready
Not much I can do really his batting is too strong for me and my batters will more than likely score too slow against his seam bowlers. My only hope is if he underestimate me cause he seems to play his 2nd/3rd string team in Cup games so far.

My next cup game is against another bot! But the strange thing is that the opposing team has the exact same team name as the team that I faced in the first round! This is the first time that I have seen two teams with the same name & its very interesting!
