7 out of 7 nows.


But guys, could none of you post in a team lineup when I wasn't online?


Luckily it shouldn't cost us this time, but in the future, if you see the deadline is close and I haven't got the lineup in, go ahead and post one.

 

[The Spin]

Would have done it, but was at school!

I am still wondering as to why Zorax was not given his full quota of 4 overs in the match against Chennai

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Are you insinuating I fixed the game so we could lose and win massive earnings on very lucrative odds against us?

For shame!

 

[Amiya]

Our top order collapses in the last two match. We need to sort that out.

 

[harrisb]

any chance of some stats guys, i'd like to see how bad i am compared to you guys

I've been doing some simming to try and find the best XI to beat TT. Currently I've stumbled onto one which has won us the match 4 times out of 5. Testing it further, but it's promising.

ZoraxDoom added 14 Minutes and 20 Seconds later...

Gah, finding a strong XI to beat TT is getting impossible. The last one I tried won just 10 out of 20, the current 4 out of 7. They just suit an Uneven pitch so well.


Here's praying I find a winning combination soon.

ZoraxDoom added 6 Minutes and 17 Seconds later...

11/20 with the next lineup I tried. Damnit. We don't seem to be able to score too many runs against Imran Khan and Botham, and our bowling attack isn't as suited to an Uneven pitch.

Hopefully I'll find the winning combo soon...so far we've won 21/40 games. Slight edge, but not enough.

 

[KBC]

It's all about the real match that matters Zorax, don't stress out too much.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Well, beating Toronto on an Uneven is proving to be a really difficult task, but this looks to be our best XI for the pitch:


Don Tallon
KBC
Viv Richards
Covvy
Amiya
Harris
The Spin
Zorax
Syd Barnes
WHM
Pak_Cricketer

[harrisb]

damn, i missed round 8, that must have been while i was away. I'll see if i can add one now, but the thread might've been closed

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Yea, the threads closed.

Wanna go for more bowling points Chez? Or shall we both go for some batting?

 

[The Spin]

I'll assume your testing doesn't suggest anything then!

I would be interested in picking up some more bowling points. I think I am right in saying my bowling performances have been, in general, less impressive than my batting performances, which I am not called upon to do all the time anyway.
