And now, with little improvement:

And even less so to your spelling, which is still incompetent

 

[andyc]

Okay, mine last time:

Batting: 62 (+3)
Bowling: 38 (+3)
Fielding: 39 (+3)
Secondaries: 106 (+13)
Stamina: 55 (-1)

And now:

Batting: 65 (+3)
Bowling: 43 (+5)
Fielding/Keeping: 35 (-4)
Secondaries: 106 (+0)
Stamina: 65 (+10)

Big increase in stamina, and decent increase in bowling. If you look at my other post, you can see that the batting in the actual batsmen has increased more so, I've just replaced a few bowlers who had abysmal batting with bowlers who had worthless batting. Bit concerned about the fielding though, pretty big weakness. The secondaries staying the same highlights a fairly big problem of mine. All players have at least mediocre for their main primary, but it's really an area that I need to look at improving soon, cause mediocre isn't very good.

Finally! I really am an idiot when it comes to getting everything in the right columns.

Weak links are Singh who has prof/sup secondaries & Malik whose just crap but my replacement for him is Mamello who has very poor stamina at the moment(18 yo comp/med bat with prof/feeb bowl but abysmal stamina). After that, replacing Singh with a purchase hopefully from the money gained by a 35k stadium with correct proportions.

Guess Bristow is a weak link too but he's 17 so I'll let him off. He should be prof by the end of season if I don't sell him.

 

[Jamee999]

Looking for a friendly. Bardle can play if you want a full-strength opposition, but this'll probably be his last game until I try and get him a 10-fer.

 

[PY]

Batting - 68
Bowling - 40
Fielding - 50
Secondaries - 123
Stamina - 61

Not happy with bowling, secondaries or stamina....happy times.

Waddell set to pop to remarkable batting very soon. Sweeney and Vermaak aren't too far from away Quality bowling either. Next season I'm probably going to look for a new trainee to replace Willetts in the lineup. Whether I make this play a specialist batsmen or a keeper batsmen is yet to be decided. Wheat is currently doing a superb job behind the sticks.

Batting: 79 (0)
Bowling: 51 (+8)
Fielding: 46 (+6)
Secondaries: 135 (+12)
Stamina: 68 (+11)

Team has improved a lot since July 4, although perhaps some areas have been slightly exaggerated with the signing of Lee.

What did i spell wrong...

 

[Mahindinho]

My turn, I suppose...

Shaka Gibb       19	 21454	  worthless     strong   FM

I decide which of Verma and Curtis gets to bowl depending on fitness and conditions.

Batting 69
Bowling 49 (-4 if the pitch is dusty)
Secondaries 155 (I assume this is conc+cons for all 11 players?)
Fielding 45 (+9 for WK)
Stamina 67

Fielding and stamina letting me down, I reckon. Not an issue now, but will be once the FC games start.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

That's an amazingly well rounded squad.

 

[andyc]

Ponies bowling remarkably well against a pretty strong team.

End of Over 41: 173-4, runrate=4.22
Fernando 6-0-28-2
Pine* 2 (2 balls)
Stamps 79 (88 balls)
Last Wicket: Stuart c. Parr b. Fernando 15 (FOW: 170/4)

They have a good bowling line up though, will probably need a big collapse to win it. Canning went well with 1/28 off his 10. This next partnership will be pivotal for them though, with two batsmen that seem to be pretty good (wages of 2755 and 3685, though he's a keeper) currently at the crease.

Edit: Hmm.. ended up bowling them out for 224 in the 49th over. Erasmus ends with 4/39 off 9 and Fernando with 5/58 off 9.5

 

[ash chaulk]

playing the top team i havent won a league match and hes on top of the ladder, havent won because i rested players for the cup, anyways im pretty sure he thinks im real bad and has TIED ive GFI and lookin good:

End of Over 41: 163-6, runrate=3.98
Oneil 6-1-16-1
Gray* 5 (8 balls)
Mead 9 (18 balls)

 

[Robertinho]

Playing d gaust's Freudian Slips, batted first -

End of Over 8: 32-1, runrate=4.00, reqrunrate=5.76 (273-8)
Payton 4-0-14-0
Hulse* 12 (22 balls)
San 15 (22 balls)
Last Wicket: Cliffe c. Millard b. Rayno 2 (FOW: 10/1)

Gray made 103 (99), Houlihan 49 (39), Bhutia 34* (30), Mcmillan 32 (51) and Jones 24 (38), so my depth was tested and I think we batted pretty well. Good to see Bhutia get some runs, and Mcmillan did alright opening. Would like to get San out ASAP, as he's their "main"ish batsman. Cmon Rayno...

 

[andyc]

Oi Rob, get online.

Ponies have made a quick start, but have lost a few wickets on the way

End of Over 11: 57-2, runrate=5.18, reqrunrate=4.31 (224-10)
Byfield 1-1-0-0
Tedstone* 31 (35 balls)
Griffin 8 (10 balls)
Last Wicket: Farmer c. Findley b. Scarborough 1 (FOW: 46/2)

Byfield, their spinner with the demonic wage of 6666 is on, hopefully this pair will be able to see him off, but I'm not so sure. Thankfully, the bowler at the other end is fairly low respectable, so we should still be able to score some runs for the next few overs.

 

[ash chaulk]

End of Over 15: 65-1, runrate=4.33, reqrunrate=3.77 (196-10)
Kinsella 3-0-16-1
Elvins* 35 (47 balls)
Blewitt 0 (0 balls)

Last Wicket: Wainwright b. Kinsella 27 (FOW: 65/1)


i think its going to be tight..... well depends on if elvins gets out

 

[Robertinho]

Haha Cameron, I would get online, but you aren't...

 

[ash chaulk]

yeah beat the top team comfortably

And that's the end of the match. Viveash won by 7 wickets.
Westside Magpies 196-10
Viveash 197-3

Elvins 104
Blewitt 51

 

[Robertinho]

Cameron went from this:

End of Over 47: 222-5, runrate=4.72, reqrunrate=1.00 (224-10)
Scarborough 9-0-53-1
Thatcher* 8 (13 balls)
Canning 77 (93 balls)

to this:

End of Over 48: 224-9, runrate=4.67, reqrunrate=0.50 (224-10)
Rhodes 9-0-41-5
Canning* 78 (94 balls)
Norris 0 (0 balls)

Won by 1 wicket though

Hahahaha I know, crazy scenes.

47.6 	W	Rhodes to Fernando
 	 	Tries to reverse sweep and only ends up seeing the ball crash into his leg stump!
47.5 	W	Rhodes to Erasmus
 	 	There was nothing graceful about that shot, Erasmus left his crease and tried to smear Rhodes over mid-wicket. Good work by the alert Pine though
47.4 	W	Rhodes to Parr
 	 	He's been bowled! A little inside edge took it onto the stumps, how unlucky can you get?
47.3 	W	Rhodes to Thatcher
 	 	It was missing leg and off and hitting middle. Plumb LBW.

Not something you see every day, but who cares, cause I still won. Canning is a champion

Edit: And, just to put the final wrap on it...

My Bloody Valentine 224 (48.5)
Fernando 5/58 (9.5), Erasmus 4/39 (9), Canning 1/28 (10)

Magical Ponies 9/225 (48.1)
Canning 79* (95), Griffin 59 (74), Tedstone 42 (54)

My Bloody Valentine Magical Ponies
Top Order: competent competent
Middle Order: respectable competent
Lower Order: worthless abysmal
Seam Bowling: respectable respectable
Spin Bowling: proficient respectable
Fielding: woeful abysmal

Looks like GFIing paid off.
