With four wickets and a century in the second innings I'm very happy with my own form. Disappointing to be so soundly beaten though, even by a good side.
edit: out of curiosity, if the form from these games does not carry through to the regular season, are they still considered FC matches?

These aren't FC matches, because I don't like the idea of players making their FC and OD debut in essentially meaningless matches.

Such adjustments would only be around 10 off the SR though. That means that if someone is striking it at 80, he'll drop to 70, which is still sufficiently high to cause Dwayne Smith syndrome.marc71178 said:

It seems sensible to me that someone can reduce their strike rate with an appropriate loss in batting ability as they attempt to adjust to playing in a new style. Changing it without a penalty however would take quite a player.

Simply put, it would be to their detriment to change their style of play. That's like asking Afridi to go out and do a Vimes. It's more likely to get him out than bring big runs. I'd back aggressive players to play their natural aggressive game instead.
