Stumped!

I feel your pain 'King of the Swingers'; its a horrible schoolboy error which reflects its Stumped pain only on our self...I have done just the same last night. Logged in just now, looked down and saw a decent first innings score but then my managerial heart sank as i saw my best medium pacer had batted........ scroll further down (yes this is my childish way of gaining excitement by reviewing a match I havent been around for if you were wondering, cant be doing with the review/replay thing) and the keeper has bowled his overs and he has of course kept wicket!!! Aaaaggh
You then think what if I had set my orders .....
Well i haven't set default orders because ideally you need different teams for home and away, pitches, lengths of match and fitness levels - BUT I guess any team set as default is better than one you don't pick so maybe i should accept that i am going to forget 1/20 and set default
BUT how does default work - the same team rolls out for every match? what would happen if you picked a team of 22+ players and then forgot an upcoming DEV match? would the ME just disregard your default and spit out a random collection of your DEV players?
Enjoy your day!

I barely bother to change my default for most games lol. You get can make up a default for each of the three formats.

didn't set orders, so not too bad a result tbh. Ideally we'd have Naeem Ashraf bowling in conditions like these, with Chester taking the new ball.13-ball 50 for Butler v ZCC
Didn't set orders for CWC7 either, but we've gotten away with that somehow!

I accept both of my teams’ defeats today, totally outclassed by far superior opponents

Looking forward, Mooo have to play the AA’s and GG will do battle against ATX-W (a team that I admire a lot)
Both games start at 00:00 (just a few hours away)
trying to see how players on both sides perform against a team that’s not owned my Moooo CC

Two very different CWC games there:
A runfest with Simmonds a run-a-ball strike-deprived unbeaten century (now 646 runs at 80.75 in the comp, 3 100s), with Rusty following Butler into smacking action, before good bowling (Daly 6) brought about five points. We'll do our best to secure a point against FHK next time, don't you worry!
So a little aside: Rusty Frost's batting skills are distributed 12–9–14. So bat him #6, you yell. He has the opener trait also. So bat him #1, you yell. But actually he's performed best at #4. Been genuinely gun there. (which he hasn't been anywhere else lol) Normally he enters in the 18th over or something, and might belt a really helpful run-a-ball 40. Here he came in in the 37th over and well 58 (25). When I put him at #4 it was a last-ditch effort, with a surplus of attacking batsmen, but it has actually been great. From bowling all-rounder to OD 4!
Meanwhile, on a tough wicket, AX-W grinded it out after being shambling at 13–4. Hurst and O'Callaghan saved us then, before an 8th-wicket partnership of 51 (111) transpired. Of those 111 deliveries, #9 Townshend faced 76. Needless to say, 161–9 was easily overhauled by the Pirates.
AX-W did really well to earlier beat GG (what a knock from young Afzaal ul-Haq!) and Moooo, hopefully we can continue like so.

Afzaal Ul Haq is definitely defiant against GG CC
I like his style
