Team Thread Nine Dragons: As active as an American truck driver

[Aislabie]

I really is good to have you around making stats.

 

[IceAgeComing]

Those First Class bowling averages are really concerning me; to only have one bowler averaging below 30 (and only because of one incredibly good game) and with one of our main strike bowlers average almost 55 with a strike rate of 88.3 isn't exactly good... The batting is good though; especially good old Misbah!

Thanks for getting them for us!

 

[Varun]

Misbah is mindblowingly good man!

Me, on the other hand. If I'm performing this badly with the max upgrade, I'm glad I had an upgrade.

It shouldn't be so much of an issue in the real thing - with home advantage being played in the league games, scores ought to be slightly lower, and the fact that VC is tracking stats means that I can wipe them after each game and avoid the issue that happened in the warm-ups of batsmen playing a big innings or two and then being indestructible for the rest of forever.

It shouldn't be so much of an issue in the real thing - with home advantage being played in the league games,

Nine Dragons - 202/6 in 20.0 overs. Landscape - 203/0 in 17.1 overs. Landscape won the match by 10 wickets.

If someone is in form, He will score runs in next few matches too. If you starts reseting stats after every game then it will be harsh on that player who scored a century or took a 5 wicket in first match.

As I've said previously, all pre-season games were simulated as neutral venues. This was to give a more even view of what the relative strengths and weaknesses of your teams were.

Although at any venue, leaking 203 for none is a bad sign I agree.

 

[IceAgeComing]

The fact that we've only taken two wickets in two T20 games and only have one bowler with an economy under ten *ahem* is also rather troubling.

 

[Aislabie]

We don't want to waste our good bowling too early

Goin with 4 pure bowlers in the bouncy match against Landscape. We can bat till the 7th wicket and Svenke has always shown responsible he is.

Since VC is telling everyone to I'm going to be using national flags when I post lineups, what one does everyone want? If you have a location listed I'm going to use that by default and if you have nothing randomly guess, so if you want something else then post it here. If it not in the flag list then I dunno, we'll think of something.

Here's what I have, from my planned first home game lineup which I totally haven't nicked from @The Author

My immediate comment: quite impressive to have no one from England in the side![DOUBLEPOST=1439499910][/DOUBLEPOST]Plus I'd like to see a wee bit of activity from @abhishek vasude, @Aggz, and everyone else who hasn't been around for a while who's name I can't remember off the top of my head, it would be nice to see you guys around!

 

[Aislabie]

I honestly hadn't given it any thought whatsoever, but I'm always okay with being Irish

 

[IceAgeComing]

I had always assumed that you were Irish, I'm surprised that you seem to be saying that you aren't

 

[BlitzBerg]

We have our first victory!

I've had Shylock down as an Englishman all this while.
