Just a question (not a complaint)

I was just wondering.... does the Sim actually calculate each innings on a ball by ball basis, or does it just come up with a batting and bowling scorecard randomly?

Here's an excerpt from my most recent match:

Fall of wickets
6-227 7-229 8-229 9-229 10-232

The end of the batting scorecard

P Bowler c D Gamage b C Gamage 5 (8)
M Righton not out 0 (0)
P Jones run out 0 (1)
R Cunningham c C Langeveldt b P Trego 0 (1)
O Cope lbw b C Langeveldt 3 (2)

Now I'm just wondering....with the last 4 batsman only facing 4 balls between them, and 2 of them getting golden ducks, how can it be that 3 different bowlers picked up the wickets?

Maybe (not seen your card) but maybe only the last two bowlers counted, did one of your batsman up the order score a sizable score, in which case he could have been one of the last wickets and again this could give a reason too how 3 different bowlers picked up a wicket if a batsman held up a end while other bowlers all finished up their odd overs at the end of the innings.
