A small complaint

[thierry henry]

Here's the OD bowling order I submitted for this season

1. R Cunningham, P Jones
2. M Righton
3. O Cope, D Brown
4. P Wilcox, A Hall
5. B Akhil
6. U Lowe


Here's the bowling order from my first match
P Jones
M Righton
O Cope
A Hall
B Akhil

Now if I'm not mistaken, Cunningham was supposed to open the bowling. It certainly is more than a little annoying when one of your best bowlers doesn't bowl at all, while a complete dud like Akhil almost gets through his full compliment. I daresay it didn't help my chances much. Was this some kind of mistake?

the sim doesnt always use the same order I think

 

[thierry henry]

Maybe so, I'm just checking. It still seems pretty ridiculous to me that a no.10 batsman, chosen to open the bowling, doesn't even get a bowl.

 

[nibbs]

can i add, cunningham is down for 5 overs, which is surely enough to get him through his compliment of 10, considering players like L Cush (Karn) who are down for 3 overs per match bowled most of his overs.

VCM4 does things like this. I think you'll find that all of your players who have bowling stats might bowl a bit in the 4 day games, even if you don't want them too! It was for this reason, I traded slightly better batsmen who bowled crap for slightly worse batsmen that don't bowl at all.

how i understand is that it takes an option of 1 or 2 on your top line.
so if you have jones at 1 and cunningham at 2 then they would have been your opening bowlers.

because you have 2 bowlers as the 1st option the sim doesnt take it in that order. it takes the best case scenario.

so if it was
cunningham 1
jones 2

then that would be your opening combo.

blewy or someone will correct me if i am wrong.

Makes sense actually, is it possible for me to change my order?

 

[Mr. P]

OK that makes sense bugs although that means we've been given wrong info as in some people said it was ok to put two on the same line...

 

[Blewy]

Ok there were a couple of teams who had this issue, im currently looking into the reasons why...
