World Cup (Aus, 50overs, hard)

[groobz]

Yeah, I started off using 5.a, the last 3 games i'm using the latest one being used for the knockout comp.

Australia advance to the SuperSix.

Super six Standings

India - 20points
NewZealand - 20 points
Australia - 16points
Srilanker - 16points
Pakistan - 16 points
West Indies - 16points

*Notes* South Africa was a big suprise for not making the super six, unfortunatly they lost Pollock early on with injury and struggled.

Favourites to win would have to be New Zealand. They beat India in thieir head to head match. Also India is without captain Ganguli through injury, theres a chance he'll be back if India progress to the next round.

First match is against W.I
my lineup

Hayden
Gilly
ponting
martyn
lehhman
symonds
bevan
bichel
gillespi
mcgill
mcgrah

pitch - dusty, and a fine day.

I win the toss and elect to bat first

** 10 Overupdate **
Australia are 3/64

Terrible start for Australia.. This pitch is very very bouncy, and has caught my batsman by suprise. Gilly was caught trying to slog a coverdrive early on. Martyn and ponting were also caught playing a legglance, damn bouncy pitches!!

Anyway, current situation is Hayden (34) and Lehhman(11) at the crease. Big game for Lehhman, he's been out of form all competition, he must come through for me.

** 20 overupdate **

Australia 5/107

at the crease Hayden (52), Bevan (4)

 

[groobz]

Australia all out for 128..

can you say "collapse"? no batting stats for this game, because its pathetic, and i'm too embarresed lol.

I'm going to bowl this match.

 

[Kerry_OKeeffe]

dont you bowl in your other matches???

 

[squiz]

Do u use any patches made by Crick4life?

 

[groobz]

Guys i've answered both those questions!!

I didn't bowl the last 2 games, because of the runout bug. bowling now with out those in close fielders cut out, and i'm getting thrashed. and i'm using the version 6.0 patch, (one used for tourney)

 

[squiz]

Why don't you bowl then, if you use that patch?

 

[groobz]

W.I race to the required target in only 23 overs. 3/131 was their final score.

Funny thing is Cpu had no trouble smashing mcgrah, but was troubled by Symonds.

Anyway, bad start for the super six for me, i'll have to improve.

 

[groobz]

Squiz, i told you already. I bowled all the games but the two. I bowled this one as well.

I didn't bowl the 2, because I had the cpu out really cheaply earlier on because of the runout bug, so i restarted and autosimed so they could get a decent total.

 

[sachin]

fair piont.

 

[groobz]

Ok i'm playing Pakistan now.

Weather is fine, pitch is normal.

I've decided that i'm going to literally slog anything which is overpitched.

I messed up and accidently took the default lineups in. So i'll have to change the batting order once i'm in there.

** 10 over update **

Ponting smashed 60 runs off 21 balls.
