Archived [10/08/07] Battrick

[Mahindinho]

Unless I'm being particularly dense, I can't find a bowling option which gives only three overs up first, so I think that sets of five may well be the way to go.

Sorry - I was going from memory.

*fires up shiny new phone/PDA*

Yup, my mistake. For some reason I'd thought that "B1/B2 Through" featured a short spell for whichever opener wasn't being bowled out. Short, yes, but still 5 overs.

 

[trevor_vayro]

In the end went for B4+5 finish.

1. Gene Bewers, Cautious LM, Sup/Resp, Def
2. Brad Edworthy, Steady RFM, Resp/Med, Def
3. Theo Bent, Cautious RFM, Resp/Feeb, V.Def
4. Steve Cash, Dest LHS, Strong/Comp, Att
5. Shaun Bridges M, Def RHS, Sup/Prof, Norm

Pitch is H+F, which is a bit silly, as their batting is slightly better, (certainly top order), and their bowling is slightly worse…But I forgot to change it in time. Might ask for Slow tonight and see what I get by the morning.

Later, Trev

My untrained YP from last week - anyone in the know tell me how far up the sublevels he is?

Simon Stone (1012038)
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, competent batting form, mediocre bowling form, lively
A steady player with superb leadership skills and worthless experience.

Plays For: AA for President!
Nationality: England
Age: 19 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 4,597 (-167)
Wages: £909 p/w

Stamina: woeful Wicket Keeping: feeble
Batting: respectable Concentration: feeble
Bowling: mediocre Consistency: woeful
Fielding: woeful

He'd probably be a bit higher than mid-level respectable. No idea about the bowling though.

 

[PY]

You sure about that?

£50 for WK
£250 for base wage

And any number for his bowling, he could be just above respectable couldn't he? Not an expert by any means though.

 

[superkingdave]

yeah i reckon low as well

 

[Scaly piscine]

Wage range is 750-1300, so certainly on the low side of that.

End of Over 12: 55-2, runrate=4.58
Savage 1-0-2-0
Muller* 8 (23 balls)
Cook 25 (28 balls)

Last Wicket: Bewers c & b. Groves 21 (FOW: 31/2)

Solid Start from my Bowlers. Groves bowled his best opening spell yet picking up their two Gun bats in his 1st & 3rd overs to end up with an opening spell of 5-1-22-2.

End of Over 19: 37-5, runrate=1.95

Last Wicket: Barrett c. Tracey b. Walton 6 (FOW: 147/5)

Meyer finishes with 2-52 after taking two big wickets in his final two. Down to their last specialist batsmen, a wicket now would be great.

Last Wicket: Appleyard c. Barrett b. Roberton 21 (FOW: 35/2)


Groves finished with 4-26, with all bowlers picking up wickets

Steady start to the chase, just have to keep wickets in hand.

 

[PY]

Not bad start:

0.1 	6	Ahmed to Abdul kadir
		Do not bowl there! The ball pitches on leg half way down the pitch and Abdul kadir swats it for six over square leg.

And that's the end of the match. Razorbacks won by 53 runs.
Razorbacks 168-10
Clapo's XI 115-10

Dissappointed by my Batsmen, was really hoping to get closer than that. It was pleasing to see my bowlers stand up and be counted though, last time i played this mob i didn't take a wicket!!!

[Robertinho]

Fulham Cricket Club 295a.o. from 45.4 overs
Mcmillan 5/28 (8.0)
Mills 2/36 (7.4)

Anchormen 275a.o. from 49.3 overs
Gray 145 (125)
Bhutia 65 (98)

Fulham Cricket Club win by 20 runs.

MotM: Pratley (128 off 106)

I'm really happy with that effort, showed plenty of fight and needed 25 from 12 before Gray got out - never expected to get so close. Bowling was terrible at first but Rayno came back and took 3 quick wickets, then Mcmillan just dominated. Batting was solid through - Bhutia was a bit slow but it was his first competitive 50, and was against a quality side so I'm happy. Gray was just on fire. Hit 66 off 36 in the last 10 overs or so. Also took 4 catches. Ratings have started to settle:

Anchormen
Top Order: strong
Middle Order: competent
Lower Order: worthless
Seam Bowling: competent
Spin Bowling: strong
Fielding: woeful

 

[Robertinho]

Also got 2 experience pops, Bhutia to abysmal and Gray to competent. Not bad.
