That was easier than I thought it would be.

Hey las i'm back (again) but a good win in our last FC match boys, well done.

FC overall been a shocker but I think we have a chance in ODIs. So, everyone stay more interested in ODI games. We can tweak our teams and work up some magic. Below is the ladder with 6 more games to go.

Team                            P   W   L   T  pts
Merseyside Dynamos              9   5   4   0    22(2)
Downright Donkeys               9   5   4   0    21(1)
Pakistani Legends               9   5   4   0    20
Melbourne Bitters               9   4   5   0    17(1)
Indian Warriors                 9   4   5   0    16
Supersoakers                    9   4   5   0    16

Looks good if we get a streak we may just come first, highely unlikely though.

 

[Left_Hander]

Our next game is against the Legends scheduled for today so a win in that would possibly put us into third and if the Dynamos lose maybe even second.

Were looking alright boys just need to contain them.

Dean, Jazzy told me that wicketkeepers have lower batting average than batters. we might need to change that, if not this season than at least next one. Keepers need to be at same level as batters. In the meantime, drop me at no 7 as a batter sounds more useful.

 

[Left_Hander]

You could be an opener as a hit out or get out style of player though we can't set you on attacking.

 

[ledzep]

Put him at seven because you could then be wasting a batsmen that low down.

:help

I've been dropped from the OD team its seems. How could this happen to me?

Sim doesn't do that as it cannot take strike rate values. So ,a lower average batter will always hog strike and eat balls after balls. So, I am as good as a batting all-rounder which is even worse.

I asked Jazzy to use the same teams as last ODI as opposed to the last game. You can post the team on the next one as I will be busy for a week now.

I've just gone from the averages we have used in the last season, and the seasons before that if I remember correctly. Whether I agree with it or not, it'll probably be lower than batsmen till the end of the season as I don't think it should be changed mid season. It might be changed at the end of the season though.

 

[ledzep]

Just realised i am the best OD batsman and the second best FC batsman, go me


Anyway looking ok so far bitters just need to get runs on the board.

 

[Left_Hander]

Congrats ledzep!

I wouldn't be at the top of the list because of my poor showing this season.
