haven't played yet, both ZCC and FHK have byes in the crazy lose round. Might try a ZCC vs FHK crazy lose friendly on Thursday to try. I think the strategy would be to figure out 50 overs of crap bowling (with the weakest possible batting to go with it), then the weakest batting around it, worst keeper, and worst captain out of the 11.
Yes i agree with your overview but what do you set batting or bowling to ? ie set batting to 1 and maybe they dont get out and scores runs - set them to 9 and maybe they get out but have scored 20 odd off 6 balls before doing so - ditto your bowling set it at 9 and they may get hit for runs but on the other hand they could bowl out the opposition in a flash!

AXI look like getting 230-2 in our crazy lose game rn. I've adopted the Ashgrove strategy of bowling 0/1 skill bowlers for the first 30 overs in the hope of the wide every third ball, but battingwise I lack the right players for this (MAS of 1, everyone on 1 aggression)! No hyper**** players sadly. Chris Waters (8/5/3 batting) currently 40* (112).
Im playing the procrastinators - the XPV shows us having inferior bowling to them but my tail end batting is way to strong at 61k - I will be batting 2nd so my only hope is my rubbish top order stays in at scores a run an over or less - difficult overall though as you seem to pick up 2 RPO from wides ad no balls! with Procrastinators already 7 down and just 120 on the board its not looking promising!...why did i fire all those useless Bangladeshi youth pulls ?!?!?:laugh:

yea IDK. I'm leaning towards 9 for those with poor attack skill and 1 for those with poor defense skill, or for really good bats with a low MAS so they plod along in the tail. Or maybe 9 for the good bats in the tail and hope they slog themselves out.

Procrastinators have 'declined' from 72/6 to 143/7 !! :laugh: - trying to bat themselves to a defeat! Hoping they can somehow survive the next 10 overs and then my secret bowling weapons will finish the innings with combined actual bowling skills of ......2 !!

We were too good to be bad enough in the end!

Zo.rax do you know the phrases and their level of gravity for when a bat or bowler starts to tire (or maybe there is no scale to them, they are just randomly used?)

So i notice 8 today: is weary / looks a little tired / seems to be flagging / is flagging / could do with a rest /is drained/ seems rather jaded/ is dead beat

Dunnow how tired each phrase is but i think you've got the sequence right. Never dived into it too much.

Good batting effort from GG CC. Sanigepalli's quick 50 recovered the innings after two early wickets, then Penn and D'souza rebuilt from 103/6

Tricky start for FHK vs Winton CC - 2 early wickets down chasing 114.

The Shah-boss with another ton, gets ZCC over the line quite comfortably in the end.

No one's crossed 3 figures more in the history of the club.

Lot of modern names on that list - we did not play as many friendlies in the pre-CWC era. But even filtering for just Competitive games, the Shah-boss is right up there:

That partnership took the game away from GG.

Inspired by the 7th wicket partnership between Penn and Jayraj tho in the first innings.

Moo got a comfortable win against Charminster

Yep the search function can be limited by member.

Just lost my game, thankfully. It's tough this losing, but go with 1 aggression imo

Pretty comprehensive T20 win against Jura there. Much needed as prior to it we were both in the bottom two and winless.

Very measured innings from Hlengwa. Go figure.

Not how I was envisioning he be a gun opener, but ! nonetheless. (How I play my pinch-hitter is 9 aggression. Shots played ~ 20% push, 40% attack, and 40% slog.)

Yes you really dismantled our batting- I think I may have been overaggressive with my orders (and I am not going to be too hard on myself for that as conditions were middling and it is a T20 game) and then once the wickets start to fall the innings is in a constant state of retrenchment - but kudos to the AA as they never allowed the retrenchment to take place and we tumbled away - it will be tough to fight back from this in the league, but i won't give up yet - i don't think the team is significantly inferior to the teams just above it- so the winds may turn but a 5 point loss against potential relegation contenders is always a big hit as i can only realistically expect (at best!) a 4-1 win in the return- well played
 
Mike Warfield with an unbeaten 53*(26) and Lahiru Vethanayagam with 4/46 enables Mooo CC to beat 4th place Admirers of Gavin Hamilton’s Test Average CC by 5 wickets and 13 balls to spare…chasing down 143

Before the start of this match, we were in 7th place…this win could possibly take us to either 4th or 5th and our NRR of -1.17 should improve.
