Playing against a bot....resting all my star bat and bowl...bowled them AO for 125 in 29overs then chased it down in 19 overs loosing 1wkts only

Funknath added 1 Minutes and 49 Seconds later...

The bot I was playing made 9/239 somehow ==. But I got it 3 wickets down.

Now I have a beastly team ranked 900 in the world. Round 2 exit methinks.

Sadly you will be out in round 2..just saw your opponents RS

End of Over 30: 170-0, runrate=5.67
Bartleson	 5-0-33-0
Allerston*	 59 (82 balls)
Stols	 98 (100 balls)

Pretty good way to start the season, we looked about the same on paper so hopefully my bowlers will be able to do some damage. I'm deff. looking at 300+ now.

LOL, famous last words. I left for work assuming he would be rolled over. Came back and found he scored 330/7 off his 50 overs and ended up only 12 runs short of victory. Credit to his batsmen for taking apart my 2XI bowlers.

Bot away next round though

Seriously random, my resp bowler took out a wonderful and exceptional batter. His batting isn't that bad either but somehow I did this:

End of Over 23 (1 runs). Sheidow Warriors: 94-10, runrate=4.09
Overs left today: 87
Sawyer 4-2-7-5
Carson* 17 (15 balls)

In fact here is his batting rating

Sheidow Warriors
Top Order: sensational
Middle Order: proficient

Dam good effort considering I rested 2 of my top line bowlers.

In reply

End of Over 12 (3 runs, 1b). Baggy Blues: 33-1, runrate=2.75
Trail by 61 runs. (Sheidow Warriors 94-10)
Overs left today: 75
Dyke 6-1-22-1
Perkins* 3 (14 balls)
Chavhanga 26 (28 balls)
Last Wicket: Ray lbw b. Dyke 3 (FOW: 20/1)

Although not getting my hopes up, I've choked from similar positions before.

End of Over 97 (2 runs). NSWdemons: 399-5, runrate=4.11
Overs left today: 13
Makanna 24-3-75-1
Fox* 36 (40 balls)
Harvey 188 (247 balls)

Not a bad start to my first FC game in VIII. Although tbf he probably is the easiest opponent I will play.

I was 3-80 at one stage but Harvey has really stood up and shown why he's my best batsmen. Hopefully he can get 200.

Feelin Blue? added 7 Minutes and 56 Seconds later...

99.3 W Prajith to Harvey
He's played against the spin and that's gone straight up in the air.

NOOOOO he's out for 188

Unlucky Matt.

End of Over 82 (3 runs). Baggy Blues: 216-5, runrate=2.63
Lead by 122 runs. (Sheidow Warriors 94-10)
Overs left today: 5
Johannes 12-3-39-1
Sawyer* 20 (44 balls)
Quintus 7 (51 balls)
Last Wicket: Perkins b. Bruce 64 (FOW: 189/5)

Quintus is wasting balls but once Sawyer goes there could be a very quick collapse.

 

[Jakester1288]

End of Over 19 (Maiden). Killers CC: 88-1, runrate=4.63

Spillane* 44 (54 balls)
Mulvaney 41 (55 balls)
Last Wicket: Gill b. Phahamo 0 (FOW: 1/1)

Good day at the office. I rolled them for 244 and am nicely positioned at 1-88 after 1/1. Hopefully Spillane and Mulvaney can go on for big scores, but whenever I say that they get out early.

Stat boosters for me batsman today, then bowl them out tomorrow. I probably should of set a declaration target then try bowl them out for a second time today but I want to get a few batsman in form if I can.
