I found that extreamly confussing lol,anyways good luck guys

 

[mattfb]

Yeah, you dont need to know what were doing But basically once we write down the line-up of who ever is batting first and bowling first anyone can just re-write it in a random order for us.

 

[etho11]

Where do you get the equations from cos you could just make the answer be small or big.

 

[mattfb]

But we are going to make them up ourselves before the random line-up is posted.

We might have a minus -20 and Ponting gets picked for that. We will mix it up. We might have one high one like x4 but MacGill might get that one and he only scores like 20.

 

[etho11]

Oh ok mate. This sounds interesting.

 

[iloveireland]

We have come up with a great solution. We are gonna pick the team and then use this random list generator. www.random.org/lists/ We will write in the equations and use the generator. Then use the first 11.

It is a nice sunny day, 30 degrees. It is dry after the last few days of solid sun. Time for the toss. Ponting calls head. Ponting wins the toss and decided to bat.

Australia was off to a fiery start until Hayden went out for 30. Malinga bowled a beautiful swinging ball and Hayden top edges. FOW: 55. It’s a lollipop and it was an easy catch to Jayasuria.

Ponting came in number three and hard a 50 run partnership with Hussey getting 20 more to get him to 40 until he tries to smack a six of Fernando’s bowling. FOW: 125.



Clarke comes in at number four and has a great 50 run + partnership with Ponting until Ponting gets bowled by Murali. FOW: 198.



Lehmann comes in next and really doesn’t last long. Maharoff takes the new ball. He gets quick success. Lehmann got a quickfire 11 of 5 balls. He was caught and bowled by Maharof. It was a ripper of a delivery though. Inswinging yorker. FOW: 209.



Hussey comes in and has an 100+ runs partnership with Clarke. Just when everything started look right Clarke gets out. Maharof delivers another great ball. This time a bouncer, the ball hit the pitch hard and whacked Clarke and he falls onto the stumps. Unlucky Clarke but it was a great ball. Clarke gets 72 runs. FOW: 314.



Gilly comes in next and does what he does best. He gets 52 from 48 balls until he gets run out. Bad call by Hussey leaves Gilly stranded. The partnership was close to 100 runs. FOW: 403.

Brett Lee comes in and gets 1 run. He hits a single and then 3 balls later goes out LBW. It was a great ball by Murali. FOW: 405.



Johnson comes in next to join Hussey at the crease. They have a 60 runs partnership until Johnson falls victim to Fernando. Caught behind after he bottom edges it. He got 35 runs. FOW: 465.



Hussey’s new partner is Clark. Clark starts smashing the ball. He gets dropped 3 times. Hussey then gets caught on the boundary for 120 runs. It was bowled by Malinga. FOW: 481.



MacGill walks to the crease. He survives the rest of the over. Clarke hits 2 fours. He then goes for the 6 and is caught in slip by Attapatu of Murali’s bowling. FOW: 489.



N.O. batsman- MacGill.

End of Innings: All out for 489 (Extras: 12 no balls, 2 wides, 8 no balls, 16 leg byes, 4 byes).

Bowling figures:

Murali: 3/119

Fernando: 2/106

Malinga: 2/101

Maharof: 2/104

Jayasuria: 0/65

Nice start

 

[etho11]

This is good. Keep up the good work lads.

 

[iloveireland]

It seem people don't understand

well we use a random list generator. We type in:
x1
x2
x3
x4
x5
x6
divide 1
divide 2
divide3
divide4
divide5
divide6
+5
+10
+15
+20
+25
+30
-5
-10
-15
-20
-25
-30
x0.
We get their averages and what they got from the random number generator and we do what it says and that is their score. For example Ponting might be number 3 and the third thing is divide by 3 so you'd devide his average by 3.

 

[mattfb]

Oh and batsmen on debut start with an average of 20, thats why David Hussey got 120, he got the x6!
For bowlers you start with an average of 10.

 

[surendar]

So, you two(Matty and Ralphy) play a major role in squad selections and average stuffs? And how the matches are played?

Its still somewhat confusing to me.. may be, i am close to what you have explained. Good luck with this story!

 

[mattfb]

Yeah its a bit confusing, try out that generator and type in those equasions for youself and see what order they come out.

Then for the first equasion there go to Husseys average (seems hes opening in our game) and do what it says to his average and see what he scores!
