Stumped!

[StephenZA]

TNT get there first win over TMOs today. Great bowling effort from TNT. Davidson still tonned up for TMO, rest of the batsmen collapsed...

 

[JOJOXI]

So...CWC10?

I'm up for it - what is the plan on the format?

AX–W's next gen have improved heaps recently. They'll get to test their mettle this weekend in a 5-match series at home against AXI's prospects. Each side has named a 12-player squad:

AXI

AX–W

Bhavya Medapati, 16, top-order bat, 18/44 Abrar Habib, 20, top-order bat, 36/45 Ibrahim Zahid, 23, keeper, 41/44 + 13/15 Tharaka Sellamuttu, 19, pace-bowling middle-order bat, 38/46 + 32/42 Vedanga Roopak, 22, pace-bowling middle-order bat, 37/42 + 26/30 Daryl Abery, 17, middle-order bat, 21/48 Benjamin Butler, 23, middle-order bat, 40/45 Pervaiz Khokhar, 17, pace-bowling middle-order bat, 22/39 + 22/42 Callum Wilde, 21, pace bowler, 43/49 Matthew Teague, 24, spin bowler, 42/50 Rehman Kaiser, 23, spin bowler, 43/46 Reg South, 21, spin bowler, 41/49

James Mortimer, 22, top-order bat, 31/37 Simon Wilkinson, 17, spin-bowling top-order bat, 23/37 + 25/40 Andy Hylton, 17, keeper, 15/50 + 3/18 Ricky Tickner, 17, top-order bat, 36/47 Lee Carmichael, 18, top-order bat, 34/46 Trace-Lee Buck, 18, pace-bowling middle-order bat, 25/47 + 27/39 Govind Shinjinee, 20, middle-order bat, 38/47 Matt Ryder, 18, middle-order bat, 30/44 Dwayne Hastelow, 22, pace-bowling middle-order bat, 32/37 + 29/36 Jina Gangadharan, 19, pace bowler, 41/49 Abhijeet Gajendra, 20, spin bowler, 34/42 Arnout Katz, 19, spin bowler, 40/48

This was ultimately a clear 4–1 victory for the much stronger AXI Youth side.

In one match Zahid–Butler took the game away but otherwise it was a fairly sedate affair in terms of the scoring rate. Matthew Teague had to grind a 50 out from #8 in one game to steer AXI to a respectable total, his solid defence for once coming in handy. Pretty much everyone had decent efforts across the series.

Meanwhile in madder affairs of the T20 variety, Butler's 35 off 9 (7 boundaries) was insufficient to prevent a strong chase from ZCC getting over the line. Interesting game.

It was all set up for my prime Ian Botham-esque captain to come in and score the vital runs and close out a shock upset. Alas he was out for a First ball duck.

Teee-20...so unpredictable.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Clutch from former Bangladeshi national player Hadi Hafeez in the penultimate over of the match. A double-wicket maiden!

Terrific figures of 4-1-14-2

We won by 1 run as Vethanayagam defended 14 in the last over. Thriller.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Earlier in the match, he smashed 14 in 4 balls

Your boys were playing attacking cricket in chasing down a small target. The wicket was bad

The attacking cricket had nothing to do with orders I gave... purely match engine. Coetzee was set to be aggressive, nobody else. ad-Din slogging makes no sense. And Lorkin is set to a defence of 4. I have a weak tail so tend not set them as aggressive.

And just as an fyi Coetzee got run out after being last man standing.... so aggressiveness was not even relevant there.

How many of those batsmen are naturally aggressive?

ad-Din and Coetzee... Lorkin is defensive and the rest steady.

And you can see what happened. Lost Levy, and ad-Din and Mthombeni just rotated strike in the 38th over. 39th they suddenly started attacking and then in the 40th ad-Din started slogging. The bowler Farhan is poker-faced... I wondered if he might be flight and guile but no.

I have noticed this a lot in mostly the Teee-20 games we played. If an opposing team makes somewhere around 175-200 (even less), the chasing team builds a nice partnership at the top...but as soon as that partnership is broken, all hell breaks loose. The batters bat without a head.

I tend to be more conservative with my orders for this exact reason. I don't often have players even my lower order aggressive batsmen on more than a 6 aggression. Because basically you have to try counter the match engine at times.

Very fine margins. I think it's interesting to see. I set my orders in a bell-curved manner. Low-medium-low.

Giving my finisher/s enough time to settle in if there is a 'collapse'

It works out at times.

It's fun.
