Stumped!

[cnerd123]

Lmao what's that bug. First I've seen of it. Will flag it on the forums

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Was that like a practice match of sorts? They used the same order I used for the GG CC a few hours earlier.

 

[cnerd123]

Counts in the players stats, which IDM so much, but it's also counting on the points table too, which I don't like.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Nah, this should stand, just got 5 points against ***** CC

 

[StephenZA]

Do the CWC tournaments count as extra or the same as friendly? Just want to make sure. Else I may have expand squad!

they're the same as normal friendlies, no extra fitness hit and no IGT, but the bragging rights are very very important IMO.

GG CC ends the season in 20-over league with a win and on second place .

13 wins in 14 matches.
62 points
NRR +2.93

The guy topping the table had the same amount of wins, but 3 points more and a much much superior NRR.

Today's talent: 31 bat/26 bowl, maximum in any skill 11. He was good stamina though so hopefully he can get his bits on in Allez! the online cycling game?

Last 13 Morpork picks have all been fired, pretty grim record

 

[cnerd123]

We've scored 172 batting first at home on a pretty good batting track in a must-win T20. Raun leading the way with 73 off just 38 balls.

Kinda worried this won't be enough. In hindsight we should have bowled first. But let's see. Scoreboard pressure is a thing, and if we can nip some new ball wickets I'll feel a lot more comfortable.

**** yea, Bikswing Nouding with a wicket first ball. Good start. Keep it up.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Morpork posted just 122/9 against the bot today...doesn't matter for the league standings but would be nice to end with 14/14. (If I understand the rules right I'm going up to the league which ZCC are fighting to survive in...although 172 will surely be enough for a bonus point)

The bowling is the strength for Morpork in this match, but still, have conceded 120 against a bot before

Did all the games just reset? Or is that just me?

 

[cnerd123]

Mine's still updating (they're 22/2 in 4 overs now).

Maybe clear your cache?

You've probably accidentally clicked the replay button (R) which turns the game clock back. There should be a "cancel" somewhere

Useful if you've been in the lab

 

[Magrat Garlick]

The bot is now 27/5 after 9, so we should go up with 69 points out of 70. Must have been one of the easier T20 leagues in the game (only one other team rated above 26k...)

Happened because I’m in the lab and on my mobile!

At 49/2 in 9 overs, something had to give.

We had dropped Nicholas Strange in the 4th over. He was still out there, on 28 off 23.

Chung Yiu, our strike bowler, was coming in for his first over. He's known for breaking partnerships, and something had to give.

then this happened.

Nicholas Strange is out for 46 from 29 balls, Lindsay Stone will replace him.

Yessssssssss.

But this little onslaught has brought them right back into the game. 93/3 in 3 atm, needing 80 from 42 balls. ****. Need Giddings and Yiu to work their magic here and nip out two more. Jalal, Yiu and Giddings each have 2 overs left to bowl, they need to win us this match.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

some comedy slashes from Stone there, captain must be feeling the pressure of that run rate rising

 

[cnerd123]

We've dropped two more catches now. ****.

Sajith finally grasps onto one. Hope this is not too little too late. Need to get the new batter on strike and squeeze out a few dots somehow. Heck even an over with under 10 runs will do.

Also it's a wicket after a no-ball. No free hits in Stumped thankfully

 

[cnerd123]

Arif Jalal. The man's the captain for a reason. He's been excellent all season, real 'punching above his skills' kind of cricketer. Superb captain too.

 

[StephenZA]

Do you still get to train, recruit etc during off season?
