[Preseason] July 26th: Spin Wizards vs. Lunar Sharks

[The Spin]

It's quarter past midnight here and I have uni tomorrow morning...

You're at Uni and are worried that it is 12:15? What kind of student are you? :laugh

One that is trying to get into law school

 

[The Spin]

Fair play, nice to see a uni student on here who is paying attention to their future!

I followed this on the train using my phone. I have to say that even I, with my supreme confidence in the Sharks, am surprised about the stunning start we have made on this bowler-friendly pitch.

There is 100% no way we can lose from here. Excellent start lads, especially Andy!

haha last semester I went to the uni bar at least twice a week

Really? That little?

 

[Haarithan]

Definite match fixing.....no question about that :crying

"Bowler-friendly" being the key words Rhys. It will be friendly when we bowl too, and we have more spinners who ought to be effective!

 

[w3lshrugby]

Match fixing? Paha! Just remember that it's preseason and therefore meaningless.

You'll just be 20/8 when the real league gets going

w3lshrugby added 1 Minutes and 26 Seconds later...

More spinners who ought to be effective? Is that a slight at my bowling? I haven't even had a chance yet...just you wait!

I have confidence in my batsmen to chase a likely target somewhere under 50. If for some reason we don't, then be very afraid.

 

[Imager36]

Spinners likely to be effective? Pah. 50% of all balls bowled by spinners in the competition so far have gone for boundaries

 

[w3lshrugby]

Careful what you say Andy... :P

 

[The Spin]

I made the pitch very spin-friendly, Rhys, you should know that, and we have more spinners to use that advantage. I hope it works... :laugh

Right, I am off now for my month. Viral is now Wizards captain, so aim banter at him not me. Good luck Wizards!

 

[w3lshrugby]

You'll need it.

 

[Imager36]

The fact that spinners (or spinner) have only bowled two balls so far rather devalues my stat

Anyway, it should be even tougher for them to save by the time their spinners come on, as our batters pile on the 40-odd that we need. Top tips for the batters, don't try and do it at 2 runs an over. Or 10.

This is why I wanted the first round to be simmed when I was awake.

No idea what the issue was but the sim did crash. I guess the Wizards get a second chance!
