I streamlined it. You like?

It's nice, another thing you could do is post all the comm but bold highlights. It was kind of hard to get a feel of what was going on without knowing the score, but up to you.

When you ask for ppls line-ups ask them to name their minimum of 6 bowlers. cricksim works best with 6 bowlers and then set the rest to 99.

As for that match, a bit of a scare but we got away with a win in the end. expected a little more from the lower order with the bat tbh.
 
What a way to throw the match :facepalm Come on Avengers, get your act together.

PS - Did you add the extra comments in the commentary yourself DragonFire? Nice touch :thumbs
 
Yes, the italics are mine. I will put the scores in bold after every five overs.
 
Sorry about the delay, I forgot that I was meant to post the Dublin lineup (unchanged).

I have decided to replace Yudi. If he can't be arsed to get over here, I don't see why we should accommodate for him. I'm also going to give it a week to get managers for the two teams (Dublin and Ottawa) that are just wasting space. If I can't get anyone, then I'll half the length of the season to five games per team, and just play with six teams - it's the fairest way.
