40/5 chasing 251...half the side down in the first 11 overs. Batsmen aren’t coming out for me today.
Hard luck there mate. Decent shift with the ball. You did go in as significant underdogs tho. The IGT from this should be useful.

We are chasing 220. Lost Agnes Chow to a runout in the 4th over, and Tin Yau has just been dismissed for 54. 106/2 in 24 overs, we should close this out.

FHK ended with a comfortable 6 wicket in yesterday's League game, only their 2nd in OD Div 2.2 this season. Reckon we have it in us to win at least a couple more, tho avoiding relegation will be tough.

In CWC news - Winton CC and ZCC win as predicted, FHK toppled Dynamo Morpork by just 16 runs, and @morgieb's Inner Western Wombats pick up their first ever CWC win by beating @honestbharani's Honest Hunks by just 10 runs! Congrats Morgieb, huge moment in your club's history there!

Tough loss against FHK, our spinners never really threatened even with their good balls and then Lai O Yin just cut us to pieces, first six-for between the sides. Scored well and quickly but the scoring rate pressure was always there even when the rate got down to seven.

Seems like leg breaks are more effective than unorthodox SLA judging by what I'm able to get out off Judge on spinning wickets contra what Lai does

What are Judge's skills like? Lai O Yin is pretty well rounded. Also has the iceman trait which helps.
https://www.stumpedgame.com/player.php?Player=199309 - 9/12/12. Probably a bit too inaccurate but I was hoping it didn't effect wicket taking that much, especially for a wrist spinner with decent movement.

I'm thinking of replacing him long term (so realistically after his DEV weeks run out) with this guy https://www.stumpedgame.com/player.php?Player=222044 . Bit less potential and also low accuracy but Can Bat and Field.

Lai O Yin is 12/12/13, so could be a skill thing. Has 4 points on Judge. Accuracy is important too. In my experience it's the more accurate bowlers who are more likely to tear through a side. The less accurate ones tend to pick up wickets more consistently due to the '**** gets wickets' principle, but aren't as likely to bowl match-winning spells.

He'll be useful! Economical characteristic always good to have.

Good to see some new faces in my youth team make some kinda contributions.

Matthew Bedwell being the latest recruit shows that he can hang around with the bat and is quite useful with the ball.

FHK have a friendly against @ataraxia later today, should be interesting. I'm fielding my Dev XI and giving all the part-timers a couple of overs, therefore allowing Ivan Lam to preserve his energy to score runs. I expect the spin twins Yin and Shum to wreck havok as usual tho.

International Coach
Rusty Frost getting 4 good innings (by his standards, at least) is promising. He came with my starting squad as a good 17yo all-rounder with potentials of 38 and 37 and (now) currents of 22 and 23. also has the opener characteristic.

Yeah he's a decent talent. Unfortunate that he doesn't have a bowling trait but I think you could cheat some wickets out of him with 5-7 over spells and his stamina won't allow him to do more anyway

And 2 wickets without a run conceded for Frost. :)

This here is my 30th game, and he's played all 30. Sadly I can't see stats involving friendly games sans membership, but his competitive stats are pretty awesome (10 matches, 208 runs at 23, 14 wickets, mostly at the death, at 11, econ 4.2)

This game will improve his Fr. 50o averages of 8.4 with bat and 62.5 with ball...
