Brian Lara Shield ROUND 1 - GAME 2 - The Avengers v The Boys @The Floating Marvel | A HARD-FOUGHT BATTLE!

[Velocity]

Damn I guess the Bazball batting scenario hasn't been coded into the simulator yet . Shame.

The Boys batted really well on Day 5, credit goes to them for holding out for longer than expected.

Lots of positives for our team though, had the upper hand at the end of the first four days, and some of our players are in great form. Bright signs for our side going forward with some of the form our players are in. Glad I could get man of the match, hopefully I'll carry that form into our upcoming games.

Not-so-ideal play on Day 5. We should've done much better with the ball. I got 3 wickets but they still weren't enough, unfortunately. Plus, the batsmen have to be more aggressive.

If I were to describe Day 5 in 2 words from The Avengers' perspective, they would be 'missed opportunity'. Anyways, well played The Boys! It's always good to come across competitive rivals!

 

[Ed Smith]

Get your grind on batsman. Love out like that.

 

[Till Valhalla]

Can't even win on homeground.

Boys' batting needs to beef up a bit. All in all, a great result, given the context of the game, especially on the 5th day. Agree with the call to re-strategize here.

For Avengers, hard fought, could have gone a bit harder in the 2nd essay, but as someone mentioned, the 'Bazball' aggression doesn't seem to be a part of the major code. Well, onto the next one then!

I'll take the draw. Also my strike is at about 10 lol. @NILAYSHAH60 does the simulation know I'm Kyle Mayers like lol.

Glad to see Velocity put up such a good performance, the strike bowlers like me should definitely back up such performances
Not much of an issue though, thought he bowled well enough overall

I think we spinners let the team down during the 2nd innings, don't you agree?

Definitely should have gotten the tail out quicker, but hard to really criticize the effort when you get them out for 240.
Overall we were in a better position at the break of play so hopefully we can finish the job next time

Now you have your 4, you don't need to post again.

It only knows that you are a batting all-rounder. Unfortunately the rules of the league doesn't allow to play with how the players are rated.

A draw is disappointing but we will learn from our mistakes & will hopefully win the next game

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

We should have won this game. Unacceptable! Should have batted a little faster!

 

[CerealKiller]

Inshallah The Boys™®© played well!

It’s MashaAllah, by the way. Don’t know why every Indian guy wrongly says InshaAllah while trying to mock someone's English. Maybe learn the correct word yourself first.

 

[Pinch hitter]

We should have played Little more aggressively in that 32 overs ... But main reason for the draw is rain... Also there lower order played important part in this draw...
