So I lost my development game today... which is not a surprise, and not unexpected.

What frustrates me is Burger and the match engine. He is a 36 quality bowler that outside a single batsmen in the line up should tear apart the opposition batting line up in a Dev game (done it enough times in even the 50 over games!) But somehow with a quality of 8.4 bowling (best of 10), ends up going for 30 runs in 6 overs and no wickets.

So I don't care about the loss, but I need for the match engine to make some sense and sometimes it feels absolutely random rather than based on player skills with some randomness.

While I am here dear old fellows...... I'd like to ask you 2 questions on characteristics.

Firstly is Characteristic 1 equal to characteristic 2 ?

Next - Influential (when someone's touch influences the whole team). Say I include two players who have influential as a characteristic in my team. One is a batsman with Touch of 15 and one is a fast bowler with touch of 5. What will happen ? will they just be combined together and have a neglible impact of 10 on the whole team in terms of whtever they do? Or will a clever ME keep them separate and really hurt my bowling with a touch influence of 5 and bless my batting (just the batters or the bowlers also btw?) with Touch of 15 ?

Great stuff people!

Another excellent bowling performance by GG CC's bowlers, this time from the youths. A total of 228 was successfully defended.

In GG's innings, only 3 batsmen got to double figures:

1. Skipper Ernst Levy with 101
2. Riaan de Villiers with 77
3. Robin Oxley unbeaten on 29

Those in the duck farm:

1. Bram Human
2. Peter Sutherland
3. Tony Watt
4. Alex Xenos (golden)


Levy used as many as 8 bowlers in their defense of the target...love giving Bram Human the odd over or two.
But, the main wicket-takers:

-Kasun Obeysekere, 3 for 32
-Ronai Aylmer, 3 for 53
-Bhavesh Meyappan, 3 for 53
-Alex Xenos, 1 for 25

A GG win by 18 runs.

And now the Mooo kids will have to deal with the Buy-Ins in their DEV match...

A mini inter-CW match taking place.

You should be OK - Jura are a good DEV team but a weak grown up team... The Buy Ins are vice versa- so the kids are pretty much there to do what it says on the tin!

I'll start by saying I don't know the answer to the questions.

But to speculate re Characteristics I would guess so if you mean is Death Bowler + Strike Rotator the same as Strike Rotator + Death Bowler.

I did not explain myself well enough - So normally 1 is more important than 2 in life- so i am wondering if characteristic 1 has more impact on a player than if it is characteristic 2 ?

Since the fall of the 3rd wicket (Zondi), the Buy-Ins pair of Jupp and de Beers have added 42 in 6 overs, and the run rate almost touching 6...worrying signs for Moo

Overnight there was a positive win in a DEV Friendly for my Winton CC side v Ataraxia. Winning the toss and batting first on a green but slow pitch with minimal wear - openers Wouter Zietsman (103 off 96) and Jacob West (65 off 75) got us off to the best possible start putting on 163 in 25 overs. However, the partnership was ended as West edged behind to wicketkeeper Zac Chambers off the bowling of Rusty Frost. Captain Shamiso Luqe cracked an unbeaten 61 off 43 to ensure there wasn't a complete slowdown as he added 33 in 38 balls with Zietsman who was the next man to depart clean bowled by Liam Kotze (2-46). 3 balls later Kotze also uprooted Ronald Haines stumps as he was bowled for 4 leaving Winton at 200-3. Luqe continued his aggressive approach and in combination with Minesh Rana (26 off 19) added 67 in 6 overs before Rana played onto his own stumps off the bowling of Rusty Frost for his 2nd wicket off the match. Rob Tweddle added a brisk unbeaten 12 off 7 to give Winton 284-4.

In response Winton CC got off to a positive start with the ball taking 4 powerplay wickets as Ataraxia were 44-4 thanks to a brace of wickets from Benjamin Woodford as well as a wicket each for Hannan Jaffer, Diksh*t Umankanta. Kurt Murdoch (42 off 53) fought valiantly thereafter and despite the dismissal of Frans Potgieter for 17 combined with captain and wicketkeeper Zac Chambers (32 off 24) to add 65 in only 56 balls as Ataraxia recovered to 133-5. However, Chambers was then LBW to Tiyone Black and Murdoch skewed a catch to Zietsman off the bowling of Benjamin Woodford (3-15) in the following over. The tail quickly followed as Hannan Jaffer got 2 of the final 3 wickets to post figures of 3-18.

Thank you for the game @ataraxia

Yeah I think I've understood you unless I am still misunderstanding. Just speculation but what I meant from my last post is Death Bowler + Strike Rotator was the same as Strike Rotator + Death Bowler in the sense that it would mean the player is slightly better at bowling at the death and rotating the strike and the extent to which that is the case is the same regardless of what order they are in. But it is just speculation, I may well be wrong - others may be better informed in this area.

Also last week I got this player from my scouts (they've earnt their keep for a few weeks!) - https://www.stumpedgame.com/player.php?Player=241532

I am wondering how much do you think I could get for him in the market (just a rough estimate as understand demand can influence things massively in terms of price)? - undecided if I will keep him or not but don't want to put him on the market and end up getting a paltry sum for him.

Think you should get well over 1M possibly 2M for 49 bat pot with 17 field pot.

Personally I would keep him.

Thanks for input - I'm tempted to sell with that in mind - would be more confident in realising his potential with the coaches at Winton rather than at JoJo but will mull it over - don't want to rush and then be unable to cancel any bids for him - think I'll look to prune that squad a tad in any case - gives me the option of investing more in coaching - 15 bowling, 6 bat/8 bowl and 6 bat are my coaches right now. If I can get that 6 bat to a 15ish batting coach would leave coaching well-rounded.
