Match,Tour & Competition Experiences

Next up, i'm going to play the Logan Cup (Zimbabwe 4day competition) but there will only be 3 rounds as these match types take longer to complete. I've added batting and bowling points as well which should make it more interesting.

Difficulty will be PRO and i'll be batting for both teams as usual

My first ever first class century! Was against Nepal but I dont care!

Was that on pro @Dutch ? Casual or custom competition?

Yeah pro, I made my own custom world four day league comprising 16 lesser known teams including germany, france, malaysia and a host of others...

Excellent stuff! I've just started a World Cup with some of my custom teams, on pro, made two 50s in a total of just over 200 all out from just under 30 overs. I have also set uo a world test league with all time best nations. After spending so much time on my career it was nice to give pro another blast. Its definately a more realistic challenge!

So the Canterbury Wizards beat the SA Redbacks, but I must say the Redbacks bowlers bowled really well. It was only in the latter overs when I got the upper hand. I am chuffed though because I don't chase well. The team chasing normally win 20% of games when I play.

Last match of round 3: Nashua Cape Cobras v Multan Tigers
The Multan Tigers had 3 left hand fast bowlers which got the Cobras in deep trouble, especially with their in-swinging yorker. The top order crumbled as 2 overturned lbw decisions went against them. Multan should not have too much trouble chasing the modest total, but with Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander, Robin Peterson and Beuren Hendricks in their ranks the Cobras will be stiff opposition.

So the final match of round 3 complete. An easy win for the Multan Tigers, proving that partnerships win matches. Anwar looked brilliant before Steyn trapped him in front with a gem of an in swinger and he was just late on it (I was gasping, because it was one of the better deliveries I've received till now). In the next over Philander got the second wicket, but then a 100 run stand and then a 80 run stand made it an easy victory.
[DOUBLEPOST=1415808929][/DOUBLEPOST]I did this to prove that I will always bat as good as possible. As a Cobras fan I did still enjoy the Multan Tigers innings immensely.

Guyana Amazon Warriors v Highveld Lions

Played on a dry, soft and uneven pitch and it was tough scoring runs for both teams.

I think it is tine that I pick some nice batting wickets again. Tasmania crumbled to 126/7 before a few unlikely partnerships got them to a more than respectable score. The chase will be a real test.

 

[SpitfiresKent]

I've noticed that quite a few of your matches have been won by just the 1 wicket. Must be nail biting stuff

 

[lastig]

@SpitfiresKent. Yes it is quite a I biting and if for once I can stop losing loads of wickets early it can go well. Not impressed with my top order batting and now I have started to get out in the fifties often. Will see how much time I get this weekend to sit and really concentrate. The past few days I was dead tired and that had a huge impact on my concentration, but last night I was asleep at 20:00 and I woke up 6:00 this morning so I am re energised.

So the Mountaineers chased down Tasmania`s score. Hamilton Masakadza was sublime in batting for 40 overs and finishing unbeaten.

 

[lastig]

It is absolutely amazing what difference rest make. Suddenly I am chasing down scores without a problem. I also got my second ton of the evening and this was by far the quickest. When it's going your way, it just is. Every aerial shot came off. 2 surprises in one evening. The minors strike back.

I've been playing the 1992 World Cup which has been awesome fun. Took me a while half arse create a lot of players but I'm going to play 96, 99, 03, maybe 07 and 2011 and definitely 2015 in the lead up to the real thing. I'll throw up pictures of each round results once I finish this last innings of Australia chasing 230 against New Zealand plus any scorecards someone wants.

Just on that, does anyone have any ideas on creating uniforms similar to the 96 ones? I've got the ones where there's a strip of colour across the chest but I'm not liking it but it seems as close as I can get.
