You must have put your declaration total as something massive. Oh well change it now to 500 and you will declare overnight.

24.2 6 Phelan to Muir
That's high, wide, and handsome! But straight to the man ordering four beers and two hotdogs in the grandstand! Tremendous shot!
24.5 6 Phelan to Muir
Kneels and sweeps the ball beautifully out of the ground! In the distance I heard a faint smashing sound and then a car alarm going off, I hope it's not mine!
25.2 6 Foster to Macey
Foster has been dispatched! A textbook skip down the track followed by a powerful, yet elegant, stroke down the ground. Six runs to Macey.

We're certainly giving our all and attempting to clear the boundarys. Doing worse than I thought as I didn't think the opposition would be full strength. They aren't very good but I rested a few players so making it a little more difficult. At home so three days money.

End of Over 28 (4 runs). Shore Athletic: 147-2, runrate=5.25
Trail by 80 runs. (Shoreham CC 227-10)
Foster 5-0-33-1

Muir 29 (19 balls)
Last Wicket: Pilkington c. Ogden b. Foster 54 (FOW: 97/2)

Put 500 in, but there was no declaration target there.

Unbelievable Debut First Class match.

Hi everyone,

I started playing battrick a week ago. My team is new so it is as good as crap with some competent players. I won a odi and T20 but lost 2 ODI and one T20 in first week. Now it was time for First Class match. I dont know what type of combination i choose but my team shocked me with the score they produced in the first innings. I am just curious if this has happened to anyone in their debut match(or anytime in their season)??? Here is the scorecard of first innings:



Date: 21/07/2009 - Day 2 Ground: Man Holes CG
Pitch: Green Weather: partially cloudy and humid
Man Holes won the toss and elected to bat.

What a run riot:banana2:banana2.... What the heck happened to the simulator? This was supposed to be a match on a green pitch...

If there is no declaration target what do you think happens?..

The players are off the field for lunch.

End of Over 46 (4 runs). Shore Athletic: 232-4, runrate=5.04
Lead by 5 runs. (Shoreham CC 227-10)
Weston 14-1-53-2
Rajasani* 22 (30 balls)
Macey 99 (126 balls)
Last Wicket: Hodge c. Salmon b. Weston 0 (FOW: 191/4)

Declaring at 500, I bet we'll fall just short, probably make around 400. Macey is teh sex.

 

[Jakester1288]

If there is no declaration target what do you think happens?..

You can declare overnight if you didn't set it, but the default is 400 anyway.

[Jack Sparrow]

I didnt set a declaration target in my debut FC match(didnt knew bout it before reading this thread)....... Guess what happened....... Two triple centuries one double and one century.... Team allout for 1300 odd runs..... On a green pitch..... in 200.4 overs........ here is match ID have a look 3835941...

 

[Jaztheman]

..................

The default is 400? News to me, I must say.

 

[Maxkarter]

I could swear there is no default, I'm sure bots just play until they get out or run out of time.

 

[aussie1st]

I'm sure when FC began they put the declaration totals as 400. I don't see why both my 1st and 2nd inns totals would be 400 otherwise.
