well you still don't get the bonus point cause you didn't win by 100 runs

And like I said, Phillips always picks up wickets and the first falls, 57/1 after 7 overs. I always go for runs in the first 10 overs so I need another wicket from these 2 bowlers in the next 3 overs and I'll be happy.

yeah ████, but I wasn't supposed to get a bonus because Iridium is not too far from me in ratings and have better rankings than me.

I'm just happy that my team pwned his, Iridium will be pissed I think.

 

[hedger_14]

And now James strikes and that will be 2 wickets in the first 10 overs. James 1/24 from 5 overs and Phillips 1/45 from 5 overs, 72/2 after 10 overs.

 

[AkshayS]

1 more over left and Iridium XI need 58 to win.

Charles to bowl 22 wides, and a no ball in the over.

 

[hedger_14]

what, the no ball will go for 6 and he hits sixes off the rest of that over to win the match

 

[Chewie]

I beat Zorax by 2 wickets. A pretty close game, despite my match rating being nearly 10k more than his. I'm actually holding my own pretty well in the top division

 

[AkshayS]

what, the no ball will go for 6 and he hits sixes off the rest of that over to win the match

heck, Michael Charles failed me.
He didn't even bowl a single wide or no-ball.

So that was it, final score of Iridium XI is 282/4. I beat him by 51 runs.

He was 5k less in ratings than me.

 

[hedger_14]

haha, well i don't mind you winning. I've gathered enough of a lead (provided I win today) to avoid relegation probably since I don't think I'll win any games in the second half of the season, so maybe I'll finish 4th.

From the Pavilion - Free Online Cricket Management Game

Indian Warriors 333/5 ( French 166, Fiebig 58, Ridings 52, Phelan 2-47) beat Iridium XI 282/4 ( Lindsay 100, Colgan 95, French 2-62) by 51 runs

Stephen French is a legend, amazing player, whether it's friendly or league matches, he's my best batsmen and best bowler. He's done amazingly well for me

 

[Iridium]

Ah damn, lost my match. Bowlers got flayed by French who scored 166. My batsmen didn't do too badly. Just not good enough to chase down 334.

My Fiebig is better than yours

He just took his first wicket. He has 1/6 from 3 overs against a really strong team. 2 quick wickets now.

15.5 W Fiebig to Mansfield : [catch] Great bowling as Fiebig entices Mansfield into a flash outside the off stump, the faintest of nicks and comfortably collected by Oldroyd. Rush of blood to the head for Mansfield and he knows it.
M. Mansfield c M. Oldroyd b. J. Fiebig 11 (27b 0x4 0x6) SR:40.74

16.2 W Kwistel to Largent : Out! Perfect off cutter there from Kwistel. Nothing Largent could do about that one and he feathers it straight into the waiting gloves of Oldroyd. That's a fantastic delivery.
J. Largent c M. Oldroyd b. B. Kwistel 42 (50b 4x4 1x6) SR:84.00

Oldroyd with 3 catches already this innings. 92/4 after 17 overs, Kwistel 1/14 (4) and Fiebig 1/6 (3). RRR now 6.3. I've got to be favourites from here, with 2 new batsman at the crease.

Yes, it definately works better having Fiebig bowl before Tindall. Another good over from Fiebig, only 3 off so he has 1/9 from 4 and Kwistel just bowled a good over only conceding 4 so he has 1/18 from his 5 overs. Now Fiebig for his 5th over.

My Fiebig is better than yours

For sure, your Fiebig is a master mine is just in the process. And I'm afraid that he won't be able to match your Fiebig in his whole life.

oops, my fiebig is a batsman and yours a bowler.

 

[jdeus]

Well I'll do well to save the bonus point here.

I think tactically Ive been done here.... with spinners on a dry pitch.... but saying that I only have one anyways so no real surprise my bowling overall wasnt great

 

[hedger_14]

actually, mine is a bowling all-rounder but I play him at 6 for some reason, above my keeper who has reliable batting.

And yeah, I don't like bowling my openers out. I play to my strengths, I play O'Leary and Ali in the middle of my batting order because of their talents (Spin Specialist and Accumulator) and play Oldroyd at 7 because of his finisher talent.

Then I like to just bowl my 2 openers 5 overs each at the start, then bring on my other pace bowler and one spinner, bowl out my quick bowler then swap Fiebig with Tindall then bring back on Phillips with Fiebig again for overs 31-40 and finish with Tindall cause of his old ball bowler talent and LeBron James who normally bowls pretty economically at the end.

 

[jdeus]

5th wicket down.... thats game over....

Im not sure what I can do other than bowl the way I do... I've always bowled my openers out.

I'll let you see my bowlers and you have suggest anything if you think theres better options for them?
