A hopefully realistic Test Match. 10 Over Reports after some Tweaking!!

A little Something

Write just while im eating dinner, revising and looking after my sister I have experimented with a another little thing. Just for the sake of it!

I am writing up everything I did for the last scorecard of the South Africans and will post that later as its more indepth and does not include any change of lineup!

This time I have done the same. Jo'Berg.. South Africa are the AI.

I was put into bat and simulated it got 198 = well done England :p

Now this time I have tinkered with the order and this is what I found:

Smith and Mackenzie opening: Batted normally and well. McKenzie ran himself out. Id normally save and reload but I wasn fussed as i was experimenting.

7-1

Amla at 3... Again batted normally defended and played a few shots for singles.

20-2 Bowled Amla with him playing a defensive shot!!.....v nice

Botha come in LOL! 20-3 caught top edge on the pull first pull.

In come Morne Morkel.

Im expecting the middle order mental madness.

However with Morkel, Smith almost seemed like he was not sure what to do. He played out maidens, he drove agressively to my sweeper and also defended regulary.

It was more agressive but NO WHERE NEAR the stuff we are used to.
Same applies for Morkel, looked to score runs but due to lack of ability nudged it, drove it, at times left and defended out maidens!

69-4 get him with a slower ball from Broad.

In comes Steyn still no Mentalness from Smith, sure he played his shots looks like he wanted to score but defended the good balls was pleasing.

Steyn defended and the got caught slips. 80-5

Kallis joins Smith and once again there is no middle order crazyness.... Smith still playing in a positive manner but not aerial shots.

107-6 Smith cuts to point. for 59 off 94 Balls.

AB. DeVilliers comes in and we are revert back to perfect test match batting as he and Kallis are not out.

Kallis 77 (133) DeVilliers 37 (109)

Just to confirm this is not what I did in the first match, just something i have tinkered with since.

The openers i left at the top. As they dont seem to be programmed to go as mental as the middle order. Smith stayed playing at a normal rate.

To put it into perspective the innings at no point got above a run rate of 3.7
:happy

My write up on the other innings will come!

you have too much time in ur hands to even carry out this experiment.:hpraise
 
Don't post 'insta wicket' balls. They just ruin the game for those of us who don't know about them.
Meh, I figured that left-arm-around with cutters thing too rather quickly. Works with lefties and righties. Left arm around is magic. And I've barely played a full game, just about 60 overs in all against Ireland as Bangladesh.
 
Im a bit confused about which match your talking about and what tweaking you actually did as scorecards look promising?

jamershepp added 4 Minutes and 25 Seconds later...

And i know this sounds stupid but i was thinking about dropping graeme swann and not having a spinner as i pick up wickets to easily with the spinner they attack him all the time and get caught and bowled what you reckon?
 
Perhaps he is just playing 2 player, making it look realistic. Who knows, the speculation will continue until he tells us whats going on. Its pointless to keep the information to yourself, its not as if you can patent your "secret" or whatever the hell it is.
 
Started an ashes series as england.
After the first session this is how it stands at lunch

England vs Australia(AI)

Austraia won the toss and chose to bat.



 
so how many points should a batsman be now say for instance ponting or sangakkara they are both on 90 now if i drop it to 60 will that be fine
