Comments:
Well a very close win to end the FC season, winning in the final over of the Day 4. Adler and Moore starred with centuries in our first innings while Pears, Shantry and Flowers took most of the wickets in their 2 innings as we were set 80 to victory, and going at it, we lost a few wickets before finally winning in the last over, Norris finishing 18*.
We finished on top of the ladder by a mile, on 328 points to Essex's 277. We won 14 games, lost 1 and drew 1.
I still can't fathom how you've been so dominant at FC cricket, while I've been so useless at it, when in my game my playing XI is stronger than yours (assuming the regens we've had come through are similar).
The only reason I can think of is tactically you're a mile ahead of me, which from the few hints you've giving me about your gameplay doesn't seem to be the case.

I thought you didn't want to play as a crap team? 
TBH I'd actually rather not play as an international team, because of how unrealistic some of the ratings are.
I know Hedger already has a Bangladesh save, so his squad would probably consist of mainly overrated randoms (that I don't know about).
In terms of Aussie states, Queensland/Western Aussie?

Worcestershire win by 8 wickets
We won another OD game! Quite easily too. Our bowlers were all on top of them, being very economical and wicket taking, with Komasaru being the best, with Ireland taking a number of lower order wickets to finish them off. Kelly couldn't get us off to one of his trademark fast starts, but it doesn't really matter when we were chasing such a small total. Aimson returned from international duty with a sublime knock of 91 off 102 balls, with Rush supporting him well.
Have you actually been that much worse than me?
Our seasons have followed an opposite trend, but I don't think they'll be too much between us in the end.

Worcestershire win by 7 wickets
A very good effort by the team in this match. They won the toss and batted first. We made steady inroads early, but Goodwin was really annoying with an aggressive century from 6. Ireland got hit around the park, despite taking 4 wickets. It wasn't too bad a bowling effort though considering the pitch was quite helpful towards batting. In reply we got to 363 thanks to a great partnership between O'Brien and Kervezee. Ali also hit a quickfire half century, but we were still 60 runs behind. The second innings bowling effort was much better however, with all the bowlers taking crucial wickets to leave us with 310 runs to chase in two and a half sessions. Despite Rush not scoring his customary century, good innings from Mitchell and Aimson got us home with plenty of time to spare.

Derbyshire win by 5 wickets
We end the season on a loss, as our bowling was just not up to the task of bowling them out. Batting first we got a number of starts, but none of the batsmen could press onwards towards a decent score. Later, we were not able to break the opening partnership for a while, and once we did, Durston came in and provided a lot of resistance - resistance that we couldn't break. Eventually they declared, and it looked like we might be able to salvage a draw from the match, with Mitchell, and O'Brien scoring half centuries, while Aimson hit another century. However, from 6 down, the highest score was 5 as the lower order collapsed. They were given a tiny total to chase down with a lot of time to spare. Rankin and Finn tried their best to provide a challenge, but they eventually won with 5 wickets to spare. This means we finish 8th on the table with 155 points (16-3-5-9-43-40-155), 20 points ahead of Somerset, and 4 adrift of Northamptonshire. This is a slight improvement on last season.

Simple, Calvin Flowers has taken more than 150 wickets this season. That should be the difference.
And just cause I'm completely dominating you
Anyway, if we do start again, then I'd rather Western Australia or Tasmania. I'd rather not do an English county one again and yeah, probably not International.

Your batting's also been a mile ahead of mine, despite me arguably having better players.
(So it hasn't just been Flowers)
And on second team averages Flowers one is very similar to Davies one, and Davies has been averaging in the high 20s this FC season.

Look at a different save where your about 5 years in and look at Calvin Flowers test and ODI bowling averages and see how good they are.
And yeah, I'll post my stats in a minute. My batting has actually been really good which is a surprise. But yeah, Flowers taken 156 FC wickets but only managed 13 in his last 6 FC bowling innings, which included a 7fa and 5fa.
And I also forgot to mention that Arif has been injured for ages but he's going to be fine for the final
I also just realised that I played Ben Cox in one game and he scored 40
