[Themer]

Poor start from my Team but we've recovered a little bit to 103-4. Desperately need these two to make big hundreds or Ill be way behind.

 

[KBC]

I won! I thought I'll win the tournament if i lose the first two games, it's a sentiment.

Cricket Championship

Very low scoring game between me and Zim. All out for 105 and 103 on the first day. And he's 19-1 so far in the second innings.

Themer added 34 Minutes and 25 Seconds later...

31-4 now, crazy game this.

Themer added 14 Minutes and 25 Seconds later...

50-6 now!

 

[KBC]

I'm struggling again. But just got an all-rounder from the draft (76) and is a gun.

 

[Themer]

My team haven't played poorly so far in this championship, won one, drew one when I was just 3 wickets away from the win, lost one narrowly after a collapse in the last innings ending uip being just 46 short. I've only been completely outplayed so far by you KBC so far.

Just bowled Zim's Wythall Warriors CC for 66 albeit an extremely low scoring game. Should open the table out to all if I can win.

Themer added 2 Minutes and 9 Seconds later...

But I've lost a wicket first ball so who knows what'll happen

Themer added 5 Minutes and 1 Seconds later...

Two overs gone and I've lost two wickets without scoring as of yet lol.

 

[KBC]

Yep, the first match was between You and me. I won that and am finishing crap in the league. Another possibility arises is that we can go down the table near instantly. I'm 4th and you're 5th by a margin of 12 points, but there isn't much gap after that. So I pretty much have a situation like you!

 

[zimrahil]

Yep you should win, but my last 2 games have shown up a big weakness in the match engine

(my last game I bowled up KBC twice for exactly 10 overs in total which is ridiculous)

Very overcast conditions are too effective for bowlers, which James admitted in a reply to my post on the subject in the official forums. He obviously hasn't sorted it yet, but it doesn't seem to matter what batting tactics you set ( I have tried very offensive and very defensive as an experiment) you simply collapse if very overcast conditions are in place

My Tactics were conductive to yours zim. Hence It was able.
