New Zealand Premier League XIII

Andrew Flintoff,you bloody legend! :hpraise
Makes full use of the promotion up the order intended to enable him to spend some time in the middle.
Jess and Macca played superb knocks as well but the bowlers weren't quite up to the mark,the slower ones in particular.
Great start to an exciting season.
 
Not too much to write home about there.McSkimming and Beard did bowl well though for guys who probably wont make my 1st XI.
Wagner bowling at 6 for Otago?

49.1  Tait to Woodcock, no run, Huge appeal for LBW but turned down
49.2  Tait to Woodcock, no run, Luke Woodcock missed that one by a mile
49.3  Tait to Woodcock, one run, That is very well run by Colin de-Grandhomme 
49.4  Tait to de-Gr'omme, no run, Colin de-Grandhomme was completely deceived 
49.5  Tait to de-Gr'omme, no run, The umpire turns down that ridiculous appeal from Bevan Griggs        
49.6  Tait to de-Gr'omme, no run, The umpire turns down that ridiculous appeal from Bevan Griggs

Man of the match: Charles Coventry

Wtf, Chris Martin!!!
He only scored more than seven times his batting average.
 
wtf? he actually made 23 with hitting 2 sixes??? his average should really be 1.

His List A average in real life is 2.92, so I gave him an average of 3, but I guess even that's a bit too high. :spy

CG123 added 2 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

Woodcock and his slow lefties, What a spell!

Last season his stats were:

4 matches, 10 wickets @ 15.9, with an E/R of 4.2.

In those 4 matches he got two man of the matches. :laugh
 
Wagner bowling at 6 for Otago?

Well he's equal on rating with Mathews who opened the bowling, but I'm not sure why he didn't bowl first change ahead of Aldridge.
One of the things I look at is whether they've had any international experience, which in his case he hasn't.
IIRC he's the best rated bowler not to have played international cricket.
 
We were completely owned.

Actually we were busy preparing for Champions League :spy:spy with old squads;):sarcasm

Love it when a random (or not so good player irl) has a good season! ie. Cameron Boyce in the APL. :yes

That happens, don't stress over it. I've had bowlers with ratings 2 or 3 points better than others and they've been 6th option while the worse bowler has come on at first change.

I've found the bowling pattern usually goes something like this, for a four pace and two spin attack:

Best pace
2nd best pace
4th best pace
2nd best spin
Best spin
3rd best pace

Sometimes the 3rd best pace bowls first change, but other times they don't.
 
Nice start. Good stuff with the batsmen, everyone really contributing with the bat. Symo lead the way and everyone followed. No one really stands out but they didnt do their chances any harm. Feels good to beat the defending champions, even though I am not sure that was their strongest team.

The bowling was disciplined, all the bowlers bowled under 6 an over and that is always a good thing. Aamir was excellent and McCullum was also pretty good. I hope I dont have any other player that has to play a warm-up cuz now I am only planning to try different strategies.

Feel free to try out your different strategy, as you don't need to play any certain players.
 
Oh! that was a excellent batting from Charles Coventry and Chris Martin! Can't believe he have hit 2 sixes..
