Browne bats just like yours truly.

 

[Dead Badger]

A completely different team's come out for their second innings. Not a good one, still, but they're actually scoring runs and stuff. I still don't understand FC; innings vary wildly with not much rhyme or reason.

It has to do with the weather, would wager its a sunny day right now.

 

[Dead Badger]

Yeah, I'd agree if I hadn't bowled them out for three this morning (except for one wicket which went down last thing yesterday). I'm not complaining - this innings is much more sensible for a sunny day, as you say. It's the sudden change despite same pitch, same players, same weather that confuses me.

Edit: Anyway, all over now, and I'm saddened by just one thing - the opposition had a bowler named Duck who was 0* in both innings. You shouldn't have a name like that if you're not going to live up to your billing. (They also had a batsman named Edge, who was kind enough to oblige...)

Did I ever tell you the story about the ASP page that did not handle errors? No? The story begins a long time ago, on a server in Sweden. The star of our story is... you know what? I'm boring myself here. Let's get back to the cricket.

122 balls for 18 runs what a gun

 

[Dead Badger]

Hmm - I've had that line ten times today. I think someone's been spamming the commentary.

Edit: no, it's a hilarious error message that means the commentary generator is knacked.

So impressed with my side today, what champs. There is no way we should have made those runs. Browne especially was insane. Don't know what else to say. Will be a top draw.

 

[Mahindinho]

Lost by an innings, my lot folding for something like 35 in their second go. Rubbish. Both times, it was a 59k BTR player (wages £30k) who did the damage...Sensational, at a guess.

John, who's a little bit better than that, did naff all -- kept it tight, despite being set attacking, but without any wickets.

Anyone have any experience playing spinners on slow pitches?

My spnners tend to get on fine in Slow condirions albeit the wickets do not coe as quick as I would like I FC matches.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Huh, an awful day to follow up yesterday's brilliant start. Slipped from 130/4 to 155 all out, and they racked up 313/5 in their second innings, having been 94/4. It was humid today, so I can understand why we got skittled, but they batted much worse in partly cloudy conditions yesterday than today.

Hopefully I can squeeze a draw out of this one by setting people to defend - I'm certainly not going to win from here.

Not bowling Read your downfall one feels.

Browne went on to score 45 off 45 in the second innings before the end of today's play. Talk about getting toue eye in Boycott style.

Disappointed that you didn't reveal his hidden talent when you sold him to me tbh Nath.

 

[EARLOBE]

I've decided to quit BT, so I've got a few players on the market if anybody is interested. All starting at $0. I'll put two more players up in three days.

It's a pity you're leaving, because after selling all the players you've got on the market you'll probably end up with like 10 million plus in your bank account, and could buy a gun player and basically have a one man team and build it around that.

Have bidded on just about everybody though. Very low bids and I'll probably get outbid but there's a few I wouldn't mind.

 

[EARLOBE]

That could be fun actually, maybe I won't quit.

 

[Adamc]

Won FC by an innings and 155 runs.

The Death Knights 56/10 (45.4 overs)
Lancaster 4-18, Whitehorne 3-10, Watkins 2-0

Asterix XI 378/3 (72 overs)
Howland 176*, Ashton 118, Watkins 61*

The Death Knights167/10 (73.5 overs)
Barton 5-34, Lancaster 3-44

Borderliners on Friday, looking forward to it.

Yeah, I've thought about doing the same things at times. Just selling all my good players and then buying some ridiculous all rounder. Better than giving up on the game entirely imo. Hope you stick around

 

[Majin]

Will probably try and get Hammond if he doesn't become ridiculously overpriced. Then again this is Battrick so

If your interested mate I could find you a potential SL NT all rounder for you to train on 10 nets for NT side. I already know about 2-3 guys that would fit the bill and I'm sure if you had enough money I could get the guys to sell them.
