Stumped!

We did good to get 273 on the board. Shanuka Veenstra was excellent with the counteract. The run outs messed up our middle order bats…good on Tom Toogood to hand around until the end of the innings.

Free HK get through the wobbly period and reach their third successive CW Championship semi-final, winning with six overs to spare.

Man of the Match clearly Nathan Law, that assault in the middle overs meant that the tail had no pressure other than to dab a few singles. Honorable mentions to Tony Chung, Joshua Wong and Zaheer Bilal.

i would have given Henton the new ball but such orthodox ideas are clearly below the great intellect of Gul

Prior to today, Henton was the usual opening bowler alongside Wermelskircher. But the galaxy brain Gul decided that since his ‘movement’ is at 14/16, he would take the new ball on this slowish pitch…Henton gets the older ball to play with his 16/19 variation

Moo were able to get the win in the end, by 18 runs.
It looked like Winton were gonna chase it down when their skipper was out in the middle. They needed 36 in 48 balls with 4 wickets in hand and then Wermelskircher struck, picking up the big wicket of Luqe for 67(47). The following delivery Woolford got deceived by a slower one and los his off stump for a golden duck…3 balls later Alf Henton ran out Jawad.
So the last wicket pair had to get 34 in 42 balls against Henton and Toogood at the back end. It was just a matter of time for them to wrap it up…first ball of the 47th over.
The second win of the day for Mooo CC

Wermelskircher: 10-0-40-3
Gul: 10-0-65-2
Toogood: 8.1-0-40-1
Veenstra: 10-0-51-1
Henton: 8-1-58-1

Veenstra had a good all-round game.
6 run-outs in the game was surprising.
Gul’s captaincy worked out in the end.

One more game to play in the day, a DEV friendly against Ataraxia Wellington

Morpork also won surprisingly comfortably (119 by Bhatti, seven-wicket win, run rate enough to chase at least 300) and have sent a scout to Jura (we asked him to cover one leg of the trip on his own expenses so who knows if he'll get back) to watch our QF opponents. They apparently got to see a 160!

Its far too late to get off the island now - there's only one ferry every other day to the nearby island of Islay (population 2,000) from where you can get a larger ferry back to the mainland! The 160 was great but ..it's a team game - the Orangutans are monkeying around with us!

Think Levy's not quite good enough for the senior side; get Nathan Reid back. His combination of high-SS and low-D and -A seems to mean that he's great at staying in but struggles to score runs. Then again, Reid's not a whole lot better in that regard. I think you have to get Levy playing pushes as much as possible, and hoping he strikes in the 60s.

Heading off in a bit so may well respond to responses later but in your view where should your best batter bat all other things being equal. So presuming they aren't defiant or gung-ho/a finisher where would you play your best batter? Opening so they have the most balls to face or number 4/5 so they aren't up against the new ball? Or number 3/another answer?

Asked with SOD and to a lesser extent DEV games in mind but intrigued if you also have strong views with T20 batting lineups too.

For SOD, 3/4; for DEV, 3. For T20, it depends more heavily than the other two.

But yeah *checks notes* my best SOD bat ATM bats 5, best Dev bat opens, and best T20 bat is shuffled around the place. It simply depends. I don't really take into account batting aggression though, as that can be offset by more defensive/aggressive orders for that bat. Traits, the conditions, the rest of the batting lineup, and especially skill distributions are important for me.

Yeah, very much dependent on the strength of players in the lineup. Much like the England side at the moment - ideally you’d have Root at 4 but if there’s more players suited to the lower middle order than he moves up. Whatever gives you the strongest combination throughout
