My spinners are fairly gun on dry. But it my batting the main reason why I don't play on sticky. They don't know what end of bat to use when the ball moves around a lot.

Whenever I've played an OD on a sticky it's the quicker seamers (FM/F) that have done all the damage anyway, finger spinners have been pretty ordinary on them. McFarlane averages like mid 20s on them which is crap for him. Gibbs averages low teens.

A hattrick for Gillette!
3.1 W Gillette to Martin : It's up! Ward is coming round quickly for it... and takes the catch! Rash thinking and a bit of premeditation from Martin has him on the way back to the pavilion.
C. Martin c L. Ward b. H. Gillette 1 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR:11.11
End of over 2 (maiden) - Rupununi Cricket Club(0-2). 169 runs required from 38 overs. RR 0.00 RRR 4.45
A. Fillmore 0 (0b) , C. Martin 0 (6b) , H. Gillette 1-1-0-2
1.6 W Gillette to Elloit : Trapped on the crease to a full, inswinging delivery, Elloit looks down at his feet as if he knows his fate.
B. Elloit lbw b. H. Gillette 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR:0.00
1.5 W Gillette to Parry : [catch] Short down the leg side, it was close to the body. Parry looks to pull, gets a glove to it, and it goes straight into the gloves of Smith, who takes it gleefully.edit: now has figures for 4 for 1 run from 2.4 overs
edit2: awesome, all out in 16.1 overs. Going by the ratings it looks like the dude severely underestimated my nubs and put out half a team, got 70k ratings last week and 63 today, so that makes it all the more sweeter.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Man, pops galore today.

No pops and getting more and more annoyed with snotty managers when I tell them what to train their 16 year old south african hopefuls on. Basically just get: "Who are you and why" or "What the hell do you mean train fielding to ordinary in a seasons time? What good would that do!" Just with worse english or massive aggressiveness.

You should be used to that living in Middlesbrough though. Particularly around the time the grossly overpaid football team is putting another nail in the relegation coffin.

Would sell everyone over 23 personally, but that is just me.

Luckily I don't follow Middlesbrough, or the premier league at all anymore for that matter.

TBH I would say the exact same thing if someone told me to train a 16yo Sri Lankan in fielding. Not that I have any good ones.

I train my youths up to ordinary fielding, but I don't rush it.
