Stumped!

He is my best bat by 1 point over Kock, who is better defensive player. Hence I tend to play Kock above Tigwell in the big games. My openers are my next best players. And Tyagi gets 3 because of the slow starter characteristic. Katz gets the lower order because of the finisher characteristic.

Tigwell only gets to play the occasional game anyway. He has been great for me but he is largely there for big games until Mthombeni gets his wk skill up.

I'd bat him up the order over 21-skilled Badenhorst. I'm not sure that opening with Jalal Farhat is the best of ideas. Defiant + much better Agg than Def is annoying, preferably try to train him up in Agg/SS until he gets to steady aggression. Iceman might make Farhat a better player at #5 or #6. Hetal Tyagi is a slow starter but has high Agg, I'd be inclined to bat him lower down in SODs.

I'd probably have Kock at #3, Tigwell at #4, but I'm hardly more experienced with the game than you.

Winton CC make it by 4 runs, wow! Kurt Murdoch's anti-strike farming does the job as Juan Goliath can't back up his 5-40 with a quite sufficient innings to get the target. 141 plays 137. What a game. Goliath has 11 wickets in 2 games.

Moo are gonna be bowling first against the Astronauts; while GG will also be doing the same against Chunky Hunks.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Andrew Short strikes in his first over, clean bowled Courtney Brockman for a duck, with no run on the board.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Vethanayagam gets Murray Crichton clean bowled as well for a duck. The Astronauts are 2/2.

Both openers made ducks.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Hunks are scoring freely against a weakened GG opening bowling. 33/0 after 6 overs.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

After 10 overs, the Hunks have managed to cross 50 without losing a wicket. The platform is building.

Ok.. when I set my orders for the game against cnerd, I marked that to be the new default orders but it seems to changed both the XI and orders now. Why?

Did that xi featured guys who are over the age of 21?

Oh ok.. so I cant set like template orders based on the type of competition?

Right, you have to be aware if it 40 overs (which is 21 years and under) or 20/50 overs (which is game for the entire squad).

Good bowling and fielding from the TMOs. A few hard drops and byes from Mthombeni but 3 big run outs from the team. Now to take the chase nice and slow.

Good to see that you didn't allow ataraxia to run away with things.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Mooo with a target of 196 to chase.

GG about to finish bowling their 40 overs with the Hunks on 216 for 7 with one over to go.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What a crappy batting display from the Mooo top order. Folding like a cheap suit.

 

[StephenZA]

And Kock giving his wicket away at a crucial point. No need to be attacking there.

 

[StephenZA]

And now Katz gives his wicket away. Just poor from senior batsmen. Up to Viljoen and younger guys to try bring it home.

 

[StephenZA]

Every one of this singles against Ludlow and Frost gave me heart palpitations. But made it in the end. Won that game in the field with some luck. Good game @ataraxia.

 

[StephenZA]

And special mention for Bardenhost, who has scored some important runs for the MTOs. Still a very young inexperienced player!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Honest Hunks versus GG CC going for a close finish
