Poor Mahindinho. Next time win the toss and bat.

Things going well for me. Opponents 137-8. Were 44-6 tho...(with Tuck having four for eight at one point)

 

[Tom Halsey]

I was just about to book the open-top bus, as it happens.

Oh well, I suppose that's what happens when Woeful batsmen come up against Exquisite (or thereabouts) bowlers.

But surely not all 8 wickets were woeful batsmen? That sure is evil.

Meanwhile, in VI, bot-bashing.

Was on TIE.

Playing the Title Favourites next round so huge game where I will be GFI'ing so get ready! Similar ratings to me.

 

[The Baconator]

Won today against the same team I'm playing in the cup, they were promoted last season. Umar was great again, with another hundred, and Rahimuddin took five wickets.

 

[chaminda_00]

Got to fell sorry for the Mahindinho, thats one of the worst collaspe i've seen and you guys were looking quite comfortable. In my match both teams had a collaspe mine 6/23 and they had 7/88. But neither side could string two or three quick wickets together and in a low scoring match thats what usually happens. Even if your a crap batsmen you usually dig in for a couple overs.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Wow, great win today. I was expecting a close game, but not as comfortable as this, nor after only making 214. **** only made one as well.

Zebras 214-7 (50)

[Adamc]

Comfortable TIE win, made 283/6 and bowled them out for 187. Watkins continuing his good form with 78* off 65 (after taking 12 balls to get off the mark), up to 360 runs for once out this season. Ashton and Cuss opened with 81 and 62 respectively, and resp/med Boeta managed to get 35. Wickets were shared around, everyone taking at least one. Same ratings as Sunday's TIE, except fielding went up.

Puts me clear at the top of the table as the only team with three wins, but I've got a tough match next week so will have to be at full strength (i.e. have to spend my money this week). Shouldn't have too much trouble with tomorrow's cup game on TIE.

 

[Johnners]

Ouch, very unlucky there Nibbs. Going by the ratings, you should've won that pretty comfortably. These collapses are really getting out of control

maybe, just maybe, like several members of the australian cricket team, my arrogance is out of control. i TIEd that match, feeling that it'd be a piece of cake. now from what should have been 1st place in II.4, and 4 points clear at the top, i'm 4th, and in the midst of what is going to be one dramatic race to the title ffs

Edit: I wonder if I should increase my ground capacity soon? At least boost the members seats up to 600? Thoughts? I'm getting bigger crowds everytime I play a league match at home...

 

[andyc]

There are specific ratios you're supposed to follow when upgrading your ground to ensure you get the best out of it. But yeah, since you seem to be in a mostly bot league, it might be a good idea to upgrade now, as it'll pay itself off soon since you won't be losing many games.

 

[NZTailender]

There was a link to a site that had the ratio calculator thing? The link in my bookmarks returns an error.

Useful, but I don't get the "maximum size of stadium" bit. What are you meant to do there?
