I was bored, and just wanted to work on something that would show each teams position over time.

This is the best I could do:

Pretty much the higher up the graph you are, the better you are doing.

As you can see the four teams who have been consistently the best are the Auckland Aces, Bay of Plenty Blondes, Manawatu Monsters, and Canterbury Cannons.

The biggest mover so far has been the Hawke's Bay Magpies, who just few rounds a go were all the way down in eighth, but now have moved up into third equal.
 
Wow, what went wrong there. Bah. Another loss. I'm bad at this. None of my top order stood up and so not enough runs got posted. Don't know that Waikato batted on the same pitch tbh. Dunno what Dhoni was thinking batting first either. Will be demoted for future games.
 
Hawke's bay on the move :)

Will do a wrap up of how I thought I've done in the next half hour or so.
 
Meh, still in first place with a 2 point lead. Just need to keep winning from here. At least we have Mills back from injury and Elliott back from a rest. Shaw and Hauritz get rests for the next match.
 
Hawke's Bay Wrap-Up

It has been a funny old season so far for the boys from Hawke's Bay, such a ridiculously bad start to the season, we were almost ready to start preparing for next season until a few key players have turned it around. Batting depth was always going to be a problem, and it appeared as though it would be our downfall after the first few rounds with no one in form. The bowlers have been consistently good with Dale Steyn topping the wicket takers in the tournament at one stage, while Flintoff, Wagner, Aldridge, Vettori and McCullum have provided good support.

Player ratings:

V Sehwag - A: Been fantastic, almost every game has gotten the boys off to a good start averaging in the 70s. As well as bowling a few overs at a decent economy, he's been the Hawke's Bay best player.

BJ Watling - D: Hasn't provided the start that would of be liked from him, only made one real contribution. Only kept the one innings, a position down the order seems likely.

R Sarwan - A: Has been pretty awesome since he's came into the team, occupied the no. 3 postion and really made it his own.

H Amla - B: Only played the 3 matches, but has performed superbly in them. If it wasn't for the International Cap he'd be guaranteed the number 4 spot, but may be pushed to the sidelines.

H Marshall - B: Has played all the matches so far, and will be rested next round. Has really come good as of late which is exactly what we needed with him being a local.

S Stewart - D: Poor. Enough said.

A Flintoff - B: Been really good with bat and ball, provided good balance as he can bat and bowl basically anywhere. He will be crucial coming into the finals.

N McCullum - C: Been useful with the ball, but hasn't really turned it on with the bat as I would of liked. Adds depth to the spinning options though, with a decent economy rate.

N Wagner - B: Was really stoked when I picked Wagner up, and he's fulfilled the faith being probably the best performed local behind Vettori. Usually come on first change, averaging in the 20s.

W McSkimming - B: Played 2 games and has been solid, been pretty expensive but has picked up wickets.

M Muralitharan - D: Disappointing to say the least, 3 games averaging over 30. Can't expect to make the team as the locals are performing just as well.

B Haddin - C: Just played his best innings which set up the match for the Hawke's Bay, being an International he is expected to perform and has started to.

D Vettori - B: Been really good with the ball, getting his usual 2 wickets at 4 an over, you couldn't really ask for more. Needs to keep it up as he's a key player with the ball. Has been pretty disappointing with the bat though.

G Aldridge - B: Basically performed as he was expected, backing the other seamers he has picked up wickets regularly at a low economy rate.

D Steyn - A: The bowler of the tournament; always getting early wickets and would probably be the leading wicket taker despite being injured for 2 matches.
 
Nice wrap-up there nz0003. You guys are defiantly turning your season around.
I forgot to say before, but also nice mid-season wrap-up hedger.
 
Oh man!!! :facepalm
Our bowlers are letting us down game after game.
Chris Martin will be recalled in to the side for the next round.

Great work with the graphs Callum :clap
 
Finally a win! The bowlers set it for us, and the batsman did thier job. Confused whether or nt to rest Symo, he is crucial in our batting

Hay = Epic Fail this season

Our hopelessness in batting continues although it was nice to see Sinclair man up. Boy our average score seems to be 170s :facepalm Last season it was our bowling that let us down. O'Brien and Bond and all our bowlers fought hard. Sometimes I feel like wearing the pads and batting meself! At least I wont give my wicket away

Otago Volts desperately miss their local hero Brendon McCullum and tells his domestic team that we want him BAD during the trading. Which is when?

WELLINGTON T'BOLTS   246/5     50.0 overs
AUCKLAND ACES        250/3     48.0 overs
   
Auckland Aces won by 7 wickets
  
Man of the match: Ricky Ponting
 
Aces!!! The team I love to hate! Damn it man, in a league where every team is so close they have to dominate. Callum, me want injuries for the likes of Ponting and Sanga (nothing personal Hedger)

Feel for the 'Bolts. They probably have the strongest bunch of NZ'landers but they havent had a strong season
