Not that. @kurtkz work needs to be done on certainity of the simulation. We need "close matches" ones which look realistic, effects of the pitch/situation and all.

@Ali. that's already catered for. It really depends on the skill levels of the players on both sides as well as the pitch conditions. If you have 2 unbalanced teams squaring off the match won't be close.

Your humbleness in defeat is noted. The play off was decided during the auctions already! We managed to secure the most experienced squad from all, as you said yourself.

It was very difficult to bat in the first innings while the batting became absolutely walk in the park in the second. What I was assuming during the team selection proved to be right with RTD and BILAL failing to pick wickets giving away 42 runs in 2 overs. Our batsmen specially Naman who wanted to open the innings played like drawing the match on the 5th day of test playing for losing team.

What I saw was complete disappointment. Congrats to The Saints.

This is result which I predicted before the match by voting the poll in favour of The Saints.

Disappointed. Would'nt like to strech things here. At a simple conclusion Congrats Saints. @The Punisher @Perfect Square

(waiting for the vCash!

That was because of Batsmen Skills,experience and Form(I think it is also a factor). Maybe if someone didn't whined and you had played your experienced player(Literally more skilled) maybe he could have done better like my player, Anthony was performing far better than me but we didn't fielded him in the line-up as he was a first-timer.

Only one of our bowlers was a first-timer but he was a team owner, so it was like Our higher skilled Bowlers v/s your Low skilled Batsman.

Perhaps if ratings were based on current activity rather than past performances

Every team owner was involved in deciding the ratings.

Whatever.

Don't be sour over a virtual league.

Very disappointing show by XX. We were thoroughly outplayed by the Saints. The best team won today.

Congratulations Saints. You deserved it.

I really need to improve big time if I'm to be picked the next time

All in all, an entertaining season for a first-timer like me. I enjoyed the matches and the simulation. Back to the nets now.

I didn't agree with that. But i'm not doubting that you guys deserved to win
