[sachin]

good work mate.keep the reports coming.

You must be using custom fields, 9 runs outs is ridiculous! If you use a custom field, put the mid off and mid on guys up the closest they can be, that will eliminate run outs, otherwise the game will be boring if you just keep getting run outs all the time.

 

[sachin]

yeah i agree,it's so annoying.

 

[groobz]

i get the same runout problem and i use fieldset open 5.

Update After 10 Overs:
South Africa 64/4 , R.Peterson 23, A.Nel 0

South Africa started bad with Blignaut bowling very good, Blignaut picked up M.Boucher for 0, LBW in the his first over and in his 2nd over he bowled B.Dippenaar for 9 and in his 3rd over trapped S.Pollock LBW for 8 and the score after that was 19/3, Streak started well but then started to bowl all over the place , he has conceded 31 runs from 4 overs, he was replaced by Ervine. Blignaut produced another ripper in the 10th over to bowl A.Hall at out for 7. At the crease now is Peterson who is looking solid and A.Nel who hasnt faced a ball yet.

Update After 20 Overs:
South Africa 114/5, R.Peterson 38, M.Ntini 21

The wicket that fell in the 10 overs was A.Nel who was run out after hitting the ball to point and taking a run and falling just short of his crease, S.Ervine bowled better then his figures suggested, R.Price also bowled well.

Nice Kerry, may i ask what field setting your using?

 

[Kerry_OKeeffe]

its a custom field setting, i'll post a pic of it soon for you

 

[sachin]

yeah keep it coming.

Update After 30 Overs:
South Africa 162/6, R.Peterson 58, G.Smith 18
Good 10 Overs for me, i managed to keep the runs down and picked up the wicket of Ntini for 22, he was caught behind of the bowling of Price, Streak came back into the attack and bowled much better then before...

 

[Kerry_OKeeffe]

This is the field im using at the moment...( That's For A Left Hand Batsmen)

 

[Kerry_OKeeffe]

Update After 40 Overs:
South Africa 248/8, R.Peterson 100, J.Kallis 14

Well that was a terrible 10 overs for me, i conceded 86 runs, i bowled too many wides, the wickets that fell were G.Smith who was run out coming back for the second run after hittting the ball to long off and H.Gibbs caught at square leg to a short ball from T.Friend...my only hope of restricting them to a chaseable target is by bowling them out.

See, that's your problem there mate. You can't have a long off, half way between the pitch and the boundary. You either have to have him as close as possible to the pitch or as far as possible (On the Fence).
