And that's the end of the match. Sad Decadent XI won by 8 wickets.
Kipper XI 256-10
Sad Decadent XI 257-2

Beat Kipper quite comfortably in the end, expected it to be much closer tbh.

Well, Islam's an destructive spinner, and for me he rarely did the deed for me at 3. I moved him to 4, and hey presto, he started churning the wickets out. So i think position plays a huge role, and sometimes if your lucky, they take ickets becuase of the desturcitve temperament, but stay economical because of the fact that they're spinners. Amulya's best figures are indeed 6-17.

This might only because my destructive spinner is pretty average, but he only seems to keep it tight when bowling to worse batsmen. When bowling to better batsmen, he goes for quite a few runs, but has a habit of taking their wicket.

 

[cricketboy29]

Yeah, well, dunno Amulya's pretty handy though. Comp-Superb-Comp, what's your spinner like, Tharmi?.

I've got two destructive spinners. They both take wickets, though, sometimes they get absolutely taken apart.

If only the battrick community would stay quiet.

Having had a look around the grounds today, it seems that the "problem" is an isolated one, and has been attributed to my superior stadium management/promotional team. Carry on.

...or maybe not

And what are peoples thoughts on Destructive Spinners are they ne good?

Bowling  	O  	M  	R  	W  	Ave  	SR  	Econ  	Best  	5wi
Season 		59 	6 	252 	27 	9.33 	13.11 	4.27 	7-13 	3
Career 		193 	20 	761 	62 	12.27 	18.68 	3.94 	7-13 	5

My destructive spinner is fair gun, but he doesnt bowl against many superb+ batters, not many strongs either.

I'm after that all-rounder too Brenevo. Fight, fight, fight....

Didn't get to set my orders against VCC, because he accepted after I'd switched my computer off.

Thus, I got bowled out for 143 on a hard & fast but have them 109/6. I have confidence he shall win because I didn't set my orders after selling my superb bowler so currently, I have a comp/feeb bowling and getting tonked. He's been hit for 49 off 8 overs and VCC are 111/7 so that's good isn't it?

 

[brenoevo]

u suck PY lol, na jus kiddin, how much are u willing to spend on him??

 

[PY]

Dunno, probably anywhere upto 3m. I might go more than that if someone bids on this guy of mine listed for 1.7m:

Philip Carey - 19 yo, BT Rating=11,414 [transfer listed]
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, changeable
An attacking player with mediocre leadership skills and worthless experience.
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: superb Concentration: feeble
Bowling: worthless Consistency: worthless
Fielding: worthless

Bit annoyed he didn't sell for 2m to be honest, as a couple of guys who were similar but older went for 2m last week

I have 4.5m and need a batsmen and a bowler so the allrounder fits the bill well enough, I have two nets spare for him and he has a cool name.

Won the toss and batted against Scaly. Took a whole 9 balls for a wicket, Hiller out in a stupid, stupid way.

1.3 W Summers to Hiller
Hiller just couldn't quite get his leg over. Out, hit wicket!

EDIT
3.6 4 Summers to Maughan
It's a quick outfield today. Even if Pace was on wheels he wouldn't catch that. Great timing from Maughan.
3.5 1 Summers to Hocking
Nicely flicked around to fine leg for the single.
3.4 4 Summers to Hocking
Hocking cuts at the ball, but it takes the top edge and sails over Armstrong for four, flukey runs.

Summers = overrated?

 

[Kweek]

ouch, sucks to be you PY
sorry I accepted! but I had to work till late, so came home and quickly accepted

still happy I won tbh

8.6 6 Pace to Hocking
Hocking with a great, huge shot. Out of the ground! Not four, but six runs.
8.5 4 Pace to Hocking
Lovely shot, Hocking's timing was like a Swiss watch.

Remarkable? Exquisite? What does Hocking care? Takes him to 30, which is what i expected to get team total wise.

 

[mikeW]

Scaly are you giving Summers nets?
