I'd be a lot happier if we could finish them off. The decent batsmen in the partnership just brought up a fifty with a six, and they're now 211/9 with 5 balls left. The bowler with the last over already has four so hopefully he can get a 5-for. It's a green pitch we're on.

And you absolutely smashed your opposition!

Edit: Bugger. 215/9 off the 50, a last wicket partnership of 53.

 

[Hoggy31]

Haha, Just saw that i had them at 34/8 at one stage! Shouldn't have let them pass 50

 

[andyc]

Last ball of the innings:
49.6 . Heard to Browne
He’s left that alone. How many more like that can Browne resist.

Well...

F*** me a five-for and a 150 for Holmes, well done indeed.

Just finished my game here, won by 8 wickets.

Fitzroy crossing CC 215/9

Magical Ponies 217/2 (36 overs)
Kenna 111* (95)
Sutton 44* (48)

I know that Simpson made a half century, and one of my bowlers got 4 wickets, but the scorecard isn't showing up.

Fairly happy with my cup match considering I was playing on 'Take It Easy', so my match ratings were crap.

Batted first, put up 324/3, Cuss carrying his bat with 139* off 123, sharing in a 221-run stand with captain Berry (109 off 134). A few minor contributions from other players as well.

Started off well with the ball, Gillespie and Male knocked over their top 5 for 19 runs, and had them at 55/7 a bit after that, but the tail wagged to let them get to 196/10 in 40 overs. Still, a decent win to start with. Gillespie as usual the best bowler (4-26), Male did fairly well (3-61) and Berry the other wicket-taker (2-34).

 

[andyc]

I just set my players normal.

Thay batted first and we had them at 51/5, but then they got to 215/9. Their number 8 made 54* off 52.Shocking stuff. Heard took numbers 3-6 in his 4/53, and captain Hardy got 2/37 and Ohara 1/26.

Kenna and Simpson started with a 106 run opening stand before Simpson was run out for 54 off 75, and Donald was then out first ball leaving it 111/2. Got there in the 36th over, with Kenna (111* off 95) and Sutton (44* off 48) leading the way to 217/2. I would have liked to see some other players bat, but I'm not complaining about the result!

Edit: Huh? Sutton's form goes up to proficient, but Kenna's stays at respectable?

 

[Adamc]

AdamC and you guys with experience, what XI would you use from this squad?

Yeah, I'd go with something similar to what ash suggested.

1.Gowshall
2.Delaney
3.Aldred (2nd)
4.Field
5.Gayle
6.Sugden (3rd)
7.Levy
8.Weight (+, *)
9.Hole (4th)
10.Binns (5th)
11.Norris (1st bowler)

You didn't get a great squad, but there's a bit to work with. I'd use Delaney as opener because he has relatively good stamina and concentration, so should be better at building a long innings. He's also attacking which balances Gowshall's defensive style.

There's a few good players who you will probably end up relying on throughout the season. Gowshall is clearly your best batsman, so he should handle him carefully. Sugden is a decent player as well, but both players are old so not very trainable. Aldred and Field are decent batsman and both are young (17 & 18), so you should give them plenty of training IMO, 2 batting sessions each or something. FIeld is a potential captain once he gets more experience. Aldred is your most promising player IMO, if you train him well he could reach proficient or strong in both batting and bowling within a couple of seasons. Norris is worth giving bowling training to as well.

It's worth having a look at the transfer market for mediocre or competent batsmen or bowlers. Last season I bought three competent bats for a combined total of 35k, and two competent bowlers for a combined total of 13k. You're probably going to need a decent keeper sometime down the track as well (in fact I just put a proficient keeper with feeble batting on the market... hint hint ).

You've got enough to work with to do well in your league though, especially if it has bots in it. I wouldn't worry about your cup match too much because you were playing a strong team who came first in their league last season.

Edit: Huh? Sutton's form goes up to proficient, but Kenna's stays at respectable?

The form thing doesn't make much sense. One of my batsmen was averaging over 200 at one stage but his form went down from respectable to abysmal. He still maintained his average at around 150 though, so I'm not complaining.
