Eek sorry @JOJOXI, I forgot Charminster were undergoing a rebuild. I think that (469/7) may be the highest score in all AX cricket. Some accomplishment when we set a MAS of 170! Hastelow pinch-hitter and Stokesian O'Callaghan orders helped with that. I'll play a much weaker side against Winton in a few days...

Congrats on your win and no worries @ataraxia - it will be a test of my patience as we are going to have many days like that in competitive matches before the benefit of IGT and such a thin squad starts to bear fruit. At this point its easy to accept we'll have days like that - I'm sure your fans would've been chanting "Can we play you every week" midway through that game. Just about holding my nerve when season gets to a close and not buy players that improve us short term but block these players development.

Winton thankfully a little bit better - Phelps 35 bowling and Foster 31 bowling significiantly better than anything that Charminster can offer. A bit more depth to the batting too, Winton with 5 players at 21 batting or above currently. Meanwhile, Charminster despite having the best and 3rd best bat of the 2 sides combined - only have 2 players with batting at 21 or above - Fairhurst (42) and Yavatkar (31)

I wonder if having covers reduces wear ? it shouldn't of course as wear is numbers of overs (and if u wanted to be really accuracte lots of fast bowlers rather than spinners , though I doubt the Me is good enough to detect that) not the elements- but if the ME is not that clever it could be a factor -

Have never really noticed wear - as in how much it moves around and if it gets sig worse after a lot of home matches! The amount i don't know or understand it is incredible really that we ever win a match !

I questioned that myself but can't say I actually know. I sold my covers quite early on as I thought it would mean more wear but not sure that it has really. I've noticed the odd time we've had loads of wear and we've had quite a few home matches when that has happened but not looked too closely into it other than that.

No covers mean wear is more and recovery slower but is still based on weather and usage as well.

What I would like to know is there a difference in weather conditions between regions?

thanks Stephen- a good question - i guess we are all so busy looking at our own area and matches we don't think about that- its the kind of question you'd like to get answered in a Q+A forum with the DEVs 2 times a year as it is not really giving away big secrets just info.

I'm getting confused about fitness uplifts .. so i played a match at 1 am on the 19th and due another at 1 am on the 21st - I am thinking /hoping their will be two fitness uplifts ..... but if so when ? does it occur at 1 am and therefore the uplift occurs at the same time as the 2 nd game begins - or is it at a totally different time?

Ed Halliday gradually endearing himself to me this season. 84* off 59 coming in at 75/4, carrying us to a respectable 230 vs Jura CC. Great knock.
