from the pavillion - another cricket game

[amcgrath1uk]

you've got that sussed already it seems!

[amcgrath1uk]

Think its going to be a fairly close game at this point

Tho would be happier if my spinners didn't bowl a no ball an over!!

[Bongo]

Oh dear, I forgot I picked an uneven pitch and set my orders for a flat one - so mostly attacking bats. Lucky I bat down to 9 then!

[Bongo]

Happy days - the youth i promoted on tuesday (after youth training) has popped in senior training!

Only a tech pop, but still a bonus!

[amcgrath1uk]

Another capable bowler for me today .. 1 reliable & 2 capables in the seniors..2 capables in the youths.. think I'm a bowling side..

Well played sir!

I want a rematch though, when I don't misread the pitch type and set dumb orders, the exact opposite of what I should set. 

I had a suspiscion my ratings may drop - 10 and 11 can't bat as well now, so although I think the team is stronger the ratings do suffer a bit.

Also need to round off some players with a bit of technique and fielding (and maybe some power, but waiting for them to get older for that really).

I'll get there eventually...

 Next job - win the crunch od game tomorrow!

[amcgrath1uk]

Anytime.. any pitch

I went for my usual batting orders, 1 on normal, remainder on aggressive. The normal guy did get 114 no tho!!

bowling I mixed up, put my best bowler on attacking 0-60, my worst bowler on defensive, 2-28 inc 4 maidens and left my spinners too it.

I did also leave my better ( av wise anyway) batters at 8 and 9 to see what the others would do.

Also my youth promote did well ( 27 off 30) before being run out.

[Bongo]

I had seamer on attacking - he got 1-20, the rest were defensive aside from the spinner i set as attacking (thought the wind might help). I'd set them all more attacking and a defensive spinner if I were to do it again. Less attacking batting orders and try to bat out 50.

[amcgrath1uk]

Weird ain't it. My reliable bowler getting tonked. Think I might set him more normal/defensive till I get his tech up ( 3 levels behind his primary)

Whoosh, all that over my head. haven't read anything about this one, just pick a team and see the results. Have a poor league though

That was enough to get me to #1 in the world

Asa - need to check what's going on with the PCC thing before accepting your challenge.

[amcgrath1uk]

No worries at all, have every Thurs free for a challenge.. or for me to win again???

[amcgrath1uk]

won by 97 runs today on a flat pitch.

Nearest 2 competitors both lost

means I'm no 1 in all 3 leagues, and only in 20/20 is someone level in points ( my NRR is way superior)

Now for the cup match 2moro!!

[amcgrath1uk]

now into the 3rd round of the cup, won by 7 wickets with 11 overs remaining today

will be playing the reagers in the next round so need to punch above my weight!!!
