[Playoffs] Qualifier 2 - Landscape v The Demons

Well played Matt, everyone including Me disappointed. It was a great pitch for batting and We should've made full use of that. It'll take a hell lotta' effort from our bowlers to defend this total.
 
Fielders also have to encourage the bowlers, by few diving stops!
 
So @Aalay is back in the action. Removing Hayden first and then Nazim, Baker in the next over totally sent them on backfoot. Their middle order tried to revive the innings but Swirler insured they don't post a big total. It's now upto our batsmen to score these runs without any problems and our deep batting order will surely help it.
 
I desperately need to get off the mark first given what Stokes has done to me in the last two games. :(

Activity does matter. We did award activity bonuses to the players who met with the bonus criteria. Just that we cannot reduce the player ratings just because he is inactive. Also, Epic Baker did win you the playoff too isn't it? He isn't much tbh.

Yeah, I know. That's a pretty shit thing about the simulator. You can't edit the ratings otherwise You'll lose the statistics.

I'm still proud of my eleven for reaching this far, I made just one bad decision by not playing Tambe and we had to pay for it. :noway

It is but that doesn't bother us as VC calculates the stats manually. But reducing the ratings for the player seems a bit harsh active or inactive.[DOUBLEPOST=1462175987][/DOUBLEPOST]
I made just one bad decision by not playing Tambe and we had to pay for it.
Especially as it was a Dusty track suited for the spinners.
 
Clarke as good as he was. A brilliant inning and sensible partnership with Lara to confirm our seat in the final. Now that our middle order played well, we need our top order to score some too.

Hard Luck Demons and well played Landscapers.
 
Finally! We did it! Although our Top-order failed to perform again but the partnership between me & Lara saved us from defeat! Wanted to finish the match :p
