This should be over by tomorrow, giving my team an extra day's rest before my crunch game against Fambridge on Friday.

Birchwood CC: 119 (61.3) Woods 7/35 (15.3)
The Heath CC: 311/0 (48) Caldwell 157* (157), Bartlett 142 (135)

I'll declare at 360 tomorrow, which should give me about 100 overs to bowl them out second time round.

Okay, it's only recently dawned on me that my two best bowlers are both defensive. Now I want to get rid of one of them and upgrade to a similar quality of bowler but attacking or destructive, but I'm not really sure which one. Some have suggested selling both and bringing in a top class all-rounder (Like Charlie Allen). What do you think I should do? (This isn't what they currently are btw, this is what they'll be at the end of the season).

Tony Sambrook - 21 yo, BT Rating=44,741

Fielding: 	competent

Was obviously leaning towards Sambrook due to being inferior, but I'm starting to entertain the selling of both of them a little. What are people's experiences with defensive bowlers? Both have good averages but such poor records against teams who are any good. They just seem to get blunted by decent batsmen.

Oh well. Maybe should have played another bowler. 2 days gates is enough anyway, only need to make 120k in my OD to break even. Easy.

 

[andyc]

Haha, dire. Got bowled out for 106 and then 17 in 17.3 overs to finish it in two days after they made 1/507.

The experience? The team you're playing is fair and away better than you, there is no shame in getting smashed by him. If you train your players right, you will be doing that to other teams one day.
