View Full Version : Battrick - Cricket Game (Prem Fix Post #133, Div 1 #158)
I was going to post this last week asking if anyone on the forums played this game but never got round to it. I love the game and if anyone fancied a friendly sometime to post here and let me know what team you played under.
The numbers are growing and we should have a steady number of teams to organise some friendlies at the least for next week. Friendlies are played every Sunday. My team is based in Australia and anyone who plays me play at 12:30 (midnight) Sunday am. England based teams play at 10:30am Sunday. I'll also list where the teams are based if not in the UK as I expect to be in a minority - there are however plenty of players from all corners of the globe so you never know! :thumbs:

Nope but a lot of people play Xpert eleven :thumbs:
Okay i've got my login detail, is there an easy way to pick the team?
I'd section your team off, see who the bowlers are, batsmen etc etc once you've done that choose the best players and good luck !!! the rating gives you an idea but not always ! list your team name and I'll list the teams on the first post later !
my team is called Arnold CCC

Stucon, added you to the list. I would certainly take a look at the transfer table and try buy a 17 year old to train. Your squad looks quite old, amazed there are no 17 year olds.
The top team has a fairly good and small squad. Don't have too many in your squad or you'll just be paying out money for nothing. I couldn't see any robot teams so you'll have a tough life for the first season but good luck.
just got my password....
Team name is Boundary Badgers. I'll post in a bit if I have any questions
Edit: Is there a guide to play this, as I'm confused :thinking:

There is a help or FAQ section on the site mate. If you have any questions (and if I can help) just ask.
think I figured out the basic idea, but I think my teams fairly woeful. How do we setup a friendly?

I've seen a lot worse mate !!! For now you have two options, join the friendlies board and request a friendly (next friendly is tomorrow so be quick !). Most people have friendlies arranged by now so get in there quickly ! You can also do a search for a team and see if they would like to play etc.
too scared ? !! probably right !
:suspect:
Nah too crap at these things, however I might just give this a go :nuts:

i guess we will both find out tomorrow :thumbs:
I've signed up, but I'm waiting for confirmation :)
I'm gonna run out of time to check the forums at this rate ;)
Well I am in although I really don't have a clue what I am doing so if I can pull of a win today it will be a minor miracle.
we all play at 10.30 then ? what do we see exactly when the match is being played. First name I spotted on the site was..............Alan B :)
Signed up with Righo's Runners but waiting for the email confirmation.
I have ended up with my name as a team name, I don't suppose there is anyway it can be changed.
Other than that my first fixture is against Heywood CC, I have given my team orders and am ready for the off...
End of Over 7: 44-1, runrate=6.29
not good so far :(
Just realised that I don't actually play my first game until the 29th which is a Friday and all my other fixtures are on a Friday as well :thinking:
Am I missing something here as I thought all the games were on a Sunday :shrug:
In the big match of the day Boundary Badger are off to a solid start against Arnold CCC
After 10 overs the badgers are 60-0

I'm playing my match against a better team, playing away from home I have just taken out his batsmen in great style !!!
17.3 W Deon to Sedgwick
An inswinger deceives Sedgwick all ends up and rips out his middle stump.
17.2 W Deon to Clegg
Smyth, leaping like an indefatigable salmon returning to the spawning grounds, pocketed a glorious catch just inside the boundary rope.
17.1 W Deon to Jarvis
Good length ball just outside off stump which swings in late. Jarvis puts his foot across and tries to flick it away but misses and the ball hits his pad right in front. The umpire raises his finger. Out!
HAT TRICK !!!!!
they are now 6 for 75 but they could rally.

Hi Alan,
I would send them an email and see if you can change things. They will spot the obvious error ! To play on a sunday you have to arrange friendlies. Once we've got a few more lsited we can think about how we play the friendlymatches (inter forum).
League matches are played on Friday. Cup games and friendlies are played on sunday
I see, so I guess that as I joined yesterday I am not in the cup competition as I see no games in my fixtures. I will have to challenge someone to a friendly for next weekend.
EDIT - Cheers Warnie, I have sent them a mail.

Hi mate,
basically every 90 seconds every game (i.e. in England) progresses by a certain number of balls. It updates automatically and you read the commentary. You can of course refresh all the time and you seeball by ball that way. You have no part in the game once the orders have been entered and the match has begun.
I see, so I guess that as I joined yesterday I am not in the cup competition as I see no games in my fixtures. I will have to challenge someone to a friendly for next weekend.
That's correct mate. New teams are not in the cup (I got knocked out too!) and if you are in the cup you don't play a friendly. All you have to do is arrange a friendly for next Sunday! You will play your league match on Friday.
In the big match of the day Boundary Badger are off to a solid start against Arnold CCC
After 10 overs the badgers are 60-0
Well i've finally broken through with the last ball of the 19th over :)
End of Over 20: 108-1, runrate=5.40
Alder 5-0-31-1
Ranchod* 38 (64 balls)
Mcmahon 0 (0 balls)
Last Wicket: Potter c & b. Alder 65 (FOW: 108/1)

Cool, I think I am starting to get the hang of this now.
I've signed up as well, sucker for these things :D
Got my team through yesterday, team name Tasty Burgers
Could do with a friendly, was hoping things might move a bit quicker than next Friday!
End of Over 23: 156-1, runrate=6.78
Sandford 5-0-35-0
Butler* 76 (66 balls)
Neville 70 (64 balls)
Last Wicket: Kean b. Shipperley 7 (FOW: 19/1)
:(
Mine is a cup game.
Really ? Oh You might have adopted a team that is in the cup, luck of the draw I guess.
Team list on first post has been updated.
rawowl = rawowls sloggers
Warney - sorry I put my username instead of team name, I've edited now as my team name is actually Tasty Burgers :thumbs:

no worries, all updated ;)
27.2 W Glass to Neville
Neville struck that well but Sandford, standing close in, caught it between his thighs. A little higher and he wouldn't be celebrating.
:D
I had them on the racks but one of their players won't give me his wicket !! They are now 9/146 at 3.82 an over. We are playing on a cracked wicket so batting anything over 150 might be tough.
The players are off the field for the break between innings.
End of Over 40: 149-10, runrate=3.73
Deon 10-1-22-5
Thabiso* 45 (61 balls)
39.6 W Deon to Govender
Govender has tried to slog that one but Smyth is getting under it. OUT! Govender caught in the deep by Smyth.
Nice 5 wicket haul for the youngster rookie !
not looking good for me in the friendly against arrowst
End of Over 41: 265-2, runrate=6.46
End of Over 50: 335-3, runrate=6.70

Looks like I've set a decent target of 336 for you to chase. Took a couple of your batsman out early, although your middle order is holding steady. I think you'll need to up your run rate to win though.

Ahmed was the key wicket, him and haynes were starting to score at 10/over once they were gone it was a true england collapse. At least this game confirmed that i need 9 new players (already brought 2 before this game!)

:lol: @ rawowl
I shouldnt laugh too much though as my bunch of woeful, worthless and abysmal pot bellied losers probably wont do much better :D
I know I should laugh as I haven't yet played and I might be just a bad :D
What a thrashing :nuts:
I told you you would struggle !!!!!! Didn't think it would be that bad though, all I can say is :help: :thinking: :gag:
I managed to win a game I didn't expect to win, won by 7 wickets and 20 overs to spare. Delighted.
In early tomorrow morning for nets !!!!!!
So the next lot of games are on Friday and any cup games and/or friendlies are next Sunday ?
I've signed 2 more players since todays defeat at the hands of arrowst
A 26year old aussie bowler and a 25year old south african batsman hopefully they will add some much needed skill to my team.
Gives me a total of 4 new players, i've put 3 players on the transfer list to reduce squad size
I except your challenge stucon :clap:
Should be interesting :suspect:
hopefully i'll score a few more this time and last the full 50 overs :)
this is from rawowl's second over !it's where it all went wrong !!!!!
Last Wicket: Kone c. Walker b. Queque 0 (FOW: 1/1)
2.1 W Queque to Webb
A quick delivery and Webb is left looking back at his stumps. He's gone!
2.2 2 Queque to Mccoist
Gently turned into the on side and a quickly run two.
2.3 4 Queque to Mccoist
Short of a length and outside off. Mccoist neatly guides it away through the gap between the slips and gully.
2.4 W Queque to Mccoist
Walker made a spectacular dive there, not sure if it was necessary but it was effective.
2.5 W Queque to North
Oh dear, bowled by a full toss, that should really have been given the treatment.
2.6 . Queque to Curran
Excellent stuff there from Queque, I wonder if he can keep it up all day though.
If anyone fancies a friendly on Sunday please let me know, I can't book a friendly with English teams until Tuesday so someone please keep a spot open for me !!!

Hi,
Just a quick question, is it too late for me to join?
absolutely not, just let us know your team name and I'll add it to the list. We haven't set anything in stone yet so any suggestions on how we go about organising a league feel free to contribute !
Do all the teams have to be based in Australia or can i pick England, India etc?
Brazilliant is ready to enter the fray! :thumbs:
Do all the teams have to be based in Australia or can i pick England, India etc?
you can pick which ever region you want. They play the matches at different times i.e. England play at 10:30am throughout the day, Australia at 0030 midnight etc etc
Brazilliant is ready to enter the fray! :thumbs:
Welcome John !
So how many teams do we have now then Warnie ?
I've accepted a friendly from someone not listed here.... just checked their team out and almost every player is better than mine by some margin :help:
I'm gonna get my arse whooped spectacularly :lol:
So how many teams do we have now then Warnie ?
I make it 13?
Also i notice your team name has changed to "Alan's All Stars" :thumbs:
Newcastle XI that makes it 14!
Also i notice your team name has changed to "Alan's All Stars" :thumbs:
So it has, good spot as I had not noticed :nuts:
So how many teams do we have now then Warnie ?
We have 13 so far, I had already included Newcastle XI in the team list. Any ideas on the best way forward with this ? Should we just play friendlies against each other and not worry for now and once we have say 20 we either have one division or divide into two divisions ?
So it has, good spot as I had not noticed :nuts:
Alan, just checked your squad out and I reckon you should sack/sell 10 players. You've got far too many and will cost a fortune to keep plus you wouldn't be able to train that many !!!
Any advice for my team warney?
I'll invite you tomorrow mate, can't do it until then. Want to travel to Oz ? !!!
Yes mate, that's fine (do you get money for home friendlies btw)
Also, any chance you could explain how training works in a couple of sentences? I can't see anything on the forums that explains it.
Training ......
We recognise that you as the team owner are more au fait with the tactical and business side of the game, so we have given you the opportunity to hire specialist coaches to help you to improve your player’s skills. There are five different types of specialist coaches that you can hire: bowling, batting, fielding, wicket keeping and fitness coaches. All of these coaches can be hired from within the club info page. (You can read more about them individually in the Backroom Staff section)
Once you have hired at least one specialist coach, you can start to allocate a player to each of these coaches for the week within the nets area. Each coach will add one more available coaching session.
There are some limitations though. Due to the limited time and space available, you can only have 10 coaching sessions each week. If you have more specialist coaches than that, then you are simply paying them to sit around each week. Even if you do allocate a player to them, he will never get the chance to train as the net space will never be available.
Secondly, although each player can be allocated to more than one specialist coach, the effectiveness of the sessions will reduce with every duplication.
For example, if you allocate Botham to two batting sessions, he will get the full benefit from the first session, but due to the amount of work he has already done in that session, the amount he can possibly gain from the second session is much less. If he was allocated to a third batting session, he would receive again even less training. A fourth training session would only provide negligible benefit
However, if Botham was told to also go to a bowling session as well as the batting ones, he would still get the full benefit from the first bowling session. Again, any subsequent sessions would also see a reduction in training received.
You basically need to hire specialist coaches (up to 10 of them). It is best to train the younger ones and if you have 17 year olds even better. No point training the old guys !
Any advice for my team warney?
It's not too bad a team to be honest, the only problem I see is your youth. They aren't good enough. You should start investing in youth by saving up ITS points - I think each point costs £2000 a week. I am currently working on getting a 17 year old all rounder and I have 20 points saved for him. This has cost me £40,000 over the last 2 weeks and I plan to stop at 40 points, i.e. 2 more weeks and £80,000 in total !!
Alan, just checked your squad out and I reckon you should sack/sell 10 players. You've got far too many and will cost a fortune to keep plus you wouldn't be able to train that many !!!
I haven't had the time today to do anything, going to take a look at my squad later and while shift some and hire some coaches to get the players fitness levels up.
i've added some better players to my batting line up, i'm now looking to add a decent bowler and also putting some cash in the youth system :)
I've been quite sad today and put all my players into excel and trying to work out the best 11
I've joined.. don't have much clue what i'm doing, but I have a squad of 19 in Worcs - and i've assigned some coaches for batting, bowling and fitness..
My team name is Lapal Grange CC - username hgm04
I've joined.. don't have much clue what i'm doing,
Welcome to the "I don't know what I am doing club" :D
I think I am getting the hang of this now, you need to keep an eye on your players form and fitness and either fire of sell players who are not up to the job, and that is just for starters. Oh and you play the odd game or two.
I have read every single page of the rules, I've picked my starting 11 but can I hell as like find out where I can invest in coaching, the youth and any way of spending money except upgrading the ground. :help:

Ah crap. I'm sure I registered first :suspect: just didn't say what my team name was :(
arrowst - challenge made dude !!! I've invited you to the hallowed turf of Bowral !!!!
Important !
We now have 15 teams, 5 short of an even 20 or 1 short of 16 !!! I'm not sure how the best way to do this is but my thought is to have two divisions of equal number i.e. 8 or 10 depending when we want to start (how about this Sunday?). If after we get another team to make 16 more join, we can create a third league but they will not be able to finish home and away legs at the same time as us !!
We will have to call one Div 1 and 2 or premier and Div 1 (my pref) and it's just the luck of the draw as to who will be in which division. I will have a think about calculations but we may as well follow the same points structure:-
Win - 4 points
Draw/Tie - 2 Points
Points level in division will go to run rate and then if the same, results against the team you are level with ! hope that makes sense ? Any comments of thoughts guys ?
Once you have arranged a friendly (the sunday game) please post the details in Bold so i can easily see it ! Should be very interesting and add a little spice to a friendly that usually means nothing!!!
Ah crap. I'm sure I registered first :suspect: just didn't say what my team name was :(
One is called MH and the other MH CC -Alan has had his team name changed - Alan did you do that yourself or was it done automatically ? I don't mind if it stays as is but may make things a little confusing when teams arrange a friendly.
I've just signed up - awaiting my confirmation email - My team name will be The Affiliates :)
Alan did you do that yourself or was it done automatically ? I don't mind if it stays as is but may make things a little confusing when teams arrange a friendly.
I mailed them via the form on the webpage and they did it for me, they never replied to the mail though. It is probably best if one of the teams changed their name to avoid any confusion down the line.
Warnie - You suggestion about two leagues sounds fine, we have another team now so that makes 16 so we could have two leagues of 8. I take it you are going to keep up to date with the tables etc...
My 'friendly' on Sunday is against Arnold CCC (forum member stucon) at their ground.
Still no email back from them yet with a password :suspect:
Warney thought to challenge you.

Brazilliant :) thought to get some practice in

Sounds good to me, i'm pretty sure someone said they had a friendly this week with a non forum team so we might have to wait till next week?

Reserves for Division 2
1.The Affiliates - Questor (awaiting password)
2.screwloose - Mykola Davies (awaiting password)
Bottom 2 from each division are relegated with the acception of the lowest division.The top two teams from Division 1 are promoted. If this hits off we can look at having play offs next season?
I have split the list in two and basically first come first served is how I chose the divisions, the only fair way. For this first season I thought that I would leave it up to you to choose who you play as we have joined the battrick season 3 games in, from next season we will have a better structure and a home and away system in play.
Can I ask that you play each other once at the moment. I know this is slightly confusing but if we still have the interest in season 2 then we can work closer at some better instructions!
Please let me know if you have arranged a friendly outside your division for the weekend. I think it's best we start this weekend as we may run out of weeks to get 8 games in ! Is this ok with everyone ?

Just checked mate and you have no friendlies arranged for this Sunday so go for it !
I have also realised a mistake ! Because of the confusion with two team names Mostly Harmless I missed one out ! So we have 9 teams in Division 1 but this won't be a problem as we are only play each other once this season. Apologies for any confusion.
Can I please ask though that one of you changes the team name ?!!!

League Matches this weekend:-
Warney v arrowst (awaiting arrowst to accept)
stucon v Alan b
Grizzo is playing someone out of forums this Sunday so Grizzo's first forums league game will be next week.
Any more games I don't know about ? !! :thumbs:
please start challenging those in your league so we can get the ball rolling !
Ive got one with lord of the pitch, but there not with this forum, just got a message about a match said yes to it. Ive got 2 matches coming up first one on the 29th then the next one on the 1st!
My mate is waiting for the email to play but is not a member of the forum and he always expresses his desire not to be even though he plays Xpert 11 and Batracer!?
Anyway if we include him we will only need 1 more to make it a nice 10 per league?
Real shame there is no private league option like Xpert 11

Mark, no problems if he wants to join the league mate. Just let me know the details.
Grizzo - don't worry about it mate. I think everyone will have a better idea by next week - I hope so anyway !!!!! There will always be times when someone won't play a league game one week for whatever reason.

Got my password now, my team name is 'screwloose' sorry. Can someone arrange a match with me then please. Cheers guys! :)
So how far in advance can we arrange these fixtures because someone (hi Warnie ;)) could always work out who is going to play who and we could arrange them in advance.
You could only arrange matches for the coming week.
Doesn't mean we can't have the fixture list sorted out in advance though :)
You could only arrange matches for the coming week.
Fair enough.
Doesn't mean we can't have the fixture list sorted out in advance though :)
I think that is a good idea as I could quite easily loose track of who I am playing, when are where.
i`m interested is it too late to join?
Not at all mate, I think I might even reduce (for this season) the first two divisions and add a third which can fill with late commers. Will post more later once I've worked it out !!
2001, can you please post your team name here ?
Arrowst, did you get my challenge mate ? Not sure if yo've been online since!
Ian vintin challange made baby.
Warney, i've just signed a 17 year old - is it worth playing him straight away or leaving him with the coaches for a bit?
Player in question is Asif Nile.
Week 1 Schedule Premier Division
Bowral334 V Boundary Badgers
Arnold CCC V Alan's All Stars
Tasty Burgers V Richo's Runners
Barnsbury Barbs V Rawowls sloggers
Home and away doesn't have a great financial gain in friendlies to be honest, the only advantage is playing on a pitch suited to your players. If you can stick roughly to the schedule it would help. I see rawowl ahs challenged Ian so that fortunately fits in !!! I've worked out the first 4 fixtures and will post shortly for premier.
Week 2 Schedule Premier Division
Boundary Badgers V Barnsbury Barbs
Alan's All Stars V Tasty Burgers
Richo's Runners V Arnold CCC
Rawowls sloggers V Bowral334
Week 3 Schedule Premier Division

Division 1 Players.
Can you please arrange your own fixtures this week, yourleague begins next week as a couple of people have arranged friendlies outside the forums. Any questions please post.
Warney, i've just signed a 17 year old - is it worth playing him straight away or leaving him with the coaches for a bit?
Player in question is Asif Nile.
He will gain experience by playing and also in the nets (don't overtrain/play him though) - keep an eye out for this fitness. he is listed as lively at the moment. Good rating though for a new player.
Home and away doesn't have a great financial gain in friendlies to be honest, the only advantage is playing on a pitch suited to your players.
That's good to hear as I have 3 away games out of the first four. So if I am the home team I will have to set the game up by challenging the other member.
Right, I've challenged Barny's Bouncers.......I think.

cheers

Hi Alan,
I've changed our fixture, given you home. Means you have 2 and 2 in the first four weeks. Anyone know of piece of software that creates fixture lists for free? !!!!!
just signed up and recieved confirmation
team name-Redball Slappers
Right, I've challenged Barny's Bouncers.......I think.
Accepted :thumbs:
Cool, may he with the better acquired side win..
anyone seen Arrowst ? Need him to accept challenge for Sunday !
Decided to sell a few players as my squad is too big, bought too many players as we were supposed to have first class games too ! Some bargains there especially Sheffield, good quick youngster ! Check the squad for details !
anymore friendlies arranged guys ? I'm still without a friendly at the moment as I can't get hold of arrowst unfortunately. Anyone available if I don't get one arranged ? !!!
Quick question ive just brought 2 players, and wanted to know how long does it take for the player to be transfered to my team??
My mates team is Colwick Clubbers if he can be added please.
Quick question ive just brought 2 players, and wanted to know how long does it take for the player to be transfered to my team??
It normally takes a few minutes, but i signed a player about an hour ago and it just says bidding is over. I guess they are busy working on the site, your new players should arrive in time to play tomorrow.
My mates team is Colwick Clubbers if he can be added please.
What name does he want to go by Mark ?

I think we might need to deal with the situation of somebody not being able to arrange a friendly because the team owner of the other team that you are due to play isn't around. It might seem harsh but if we are going to do this league then in instances like this shouldn't Warney be awarded the victory by default ?

Dangly

I think I've accepted your invite mate. Apologies, but I work away from home a couple of days a week, and don't have access to the internet.

I think something has to be agreed on especially as we have a few leagues now. I think (as long as a fair amount of effort has been put in by one team) that the team not signing up for the friendly must be deemed a no show and will suffer a loss. They will not received a run rate which also reduces the overall season run rate. The "winning team" receives their average run rate before that match +1 for effort.
Any thoughts on this?

Hi mate, thanks for that, getting a little worried !!!As long as we know there's no problem. If you are away then might be worth you challenging your opponents and marking it as home or away yourself? roll on Sunday !!! (don't forget our game begins at 12:30am on Sunday !
Important ! Can I please have a volunteer from Division 1 and 2 to organise matches for next week please (and the season if you are able). Bit too much work for just one person !

I'll see if I can get my name changed.
Yay my first match is today!!, thanks warney for the fixtures list!
Well after a very dodgy start my youngsters came through overnight in the real league match and won by 245 runs! We scored 306 runs for 6 wickets and bowled them out for 61 !!!
5 wickets fell on 50 for them !!!! My opening bowlers did the damage taking the 10 wickets between them including 4/4 in 2.5 overs from Procter !!
FOW 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Total 1 12 20 41 50 50 50 50 50 61
Name O M R W nb wd
Smyth 7 2 13 4 0 1
Deon 5 0 28 2 0 1
Proctor 2.5 1 4 4 0 0
Good return to form my Melton who held the innings together with 128 runs off just 118 balls. About time we started winning but what was even better was the youth policy !!! half the team were 17/18 years old. Look out arrowst, I'm coming to get you ! Good luck everyone else in their first real league game today.

Im happy to do Division 2 this season. Aslong as you guys post the scores, I might need alittle help Warney with the table but if I do I will let you know.

3.screwloose -mykoladavies
4.Colwick Clubbers - Dangly
5.ChakDePhates Kanjar
Are the teams at the moment, bit awkward with an odd number, just means someone will have to miss out one week.
The Affiliates - Questor - Are you in this? Definately?
I will sort out the games as soon as I know if Questor is in.
Oh dear its only 9 overs gone in my game, and im getting hammered all over the park!! so far after 9.2 overs the other team have got over 90 runs.......im in trouble here, with only 1 wicket gone, currently there 11 runs per over :razz:
thought i was doing bad!
10 overs and they are 79 for 1
i made my pitch green, which i thought would help my fast bowlers, doesn't look like it, gonna change the pitch for the next match
i made my pitch green, which i thought would help my fast bowlers, doesn't look like it, gonna change the pitch for the next match
problem is that if they have strong batsmen and your bowlers aren't that hot you'll get stuffed ! Don't forget though that your batsmen will also struggle on a green pitch !
i did just buy 3 good batsman, which im hoping they will come good, should invest in better bowlers next time
love the commentary..
"And we've just received a beautiful cake up here in the commentary box from a Mrs. Trelliss. I must say it does look ravishing! Thank you, Mrs. Trelliss!"
I've just noticed that Alan's team takes on Mostly Harmless today in the real league ! Or if it was a friendly it would be premier v division 1 !!! Looks an interesting game with Mostly Harmless electing to bat !!! Won't post scores in caseeither owner has seen anything.
This is my bowlers figures so far:
Bradley 7-0-81-0 :brickwall :brickwall :brickwall
End of Over 16: 155-1, runrate=9.69 :(

9-0-109-0
17 overs 137 for 1
my bowlers do fine for the 1st four balls and then give away 4's or 6's :(
although the pitch is dusty so i'm hoping when my spinner comes on he will destroy them :)

don't forget guys, most of the teams you play in the league (i.e. friday's) will have been playing a for a season or two and built up the squad. The Sunday matches (our leagues) should offer a more even set up.

As I've said, anyone who wants to ask advice about buying/training etc feel free to post here or email if you want it kept as doctor patient confidentiality !!!!!

So I lost my first game then:
Mostly Harmless 270 all out (48.3 overs)
Alan's All Stars 249 all out (48.2 overs)
In a strange way I am kind of happy as I thought I would get thrashed big time.
i managed to bat for just over 6 overs (6.1 overs!) and scored 14!
You've just made me feel better :D
25 all out here :(
I like the reporters summery, everything as got either a woeful or an abysmal against it despite the fact the one of my bowlers took 5 wickets for hardly any runs and the other took 4, and one batsman hit 84. These reporters must be hard to please :D
I finished up 84 all out with only 2 players making double figure scores infact extras (7) was my 3rd highest scorer!
Lost by 259 runs!
I think I was quite fortunate in that I was playing a fellow forum member who is probably as new to this as most of us are. Well done chopperwilson :)

Sorry, I'm not going to have the time to devote to this that I thought I could a couple of days ago - so please count me out of the league - Bah!
posted a thread in the sports fourm as i vary rarley looked in this section,might get a couple of interested people from there

Many thanks for replying back to me, you've been a great help, thats see how i do in tomorrows match :)
PS: After tomorrow match ill challenge 400 not out - Richdmx
to a match on the 08/10/06 as the fixture states :thumbs:
Good luck with tomorrow's friendlies guys, the 8 in the premier division your season starts here ! I've submitted my orders and taking a gamble on a couple of youngsters. My game as I am home kicks off at 12:30 am in just 3 hours !!! Good luck Arrowst.
It should be interesting to say the least to see how good or bad our teams do against each other. As long as my guys compete then I can't complain.
Count me in
Rhino's Rockets (switching to cricket now the baseball season's ending)
I'm batting first against Arnold CCC and thankfully haven't as yet lost any wickets on what is apparently a tricky pitch on a humid day :suspect:
End of Over 4: 15-0, runrate=3.75 thats me batting first, not bad compared to my last match
I'm batting first against Arnold CCC and thankfully haven't as yet lost any wickets on what is apparently a tricky pitch on a humid day :suspect:
It's a lovely pitch :)
Shame my bowlers keep giving away a few loose balls to let you keep the scoreboard ticking over.
I've left out my young spinner for todays match which could prove to be a mistake :(
End of Over 10: 58-0, runrate=5.80
last match at this stage i had 4 out for 40 odd runs
Well played Warney - it looks like my team took a battering from you :(
How is everyone doing his morning ?
Played mine overnight and it was a good match. Twyoungsters came through and Melton looks like going from strength to strength after a poor start to the season with his second century in two games.
we won by 159 runs beating arrowst in the process. His tail enders did really well and my bowlers struggled to finish them off.
We scored 5 for 313 at 6.26, arrowst scoring 154 all out at 4.23 per over. So 4 points for Bowral kicks off the premiership ! Good luck guys.
YAY my first player to make his 50!!! End of Over 14: 91-0, runrate=6.50
Crompton* 50 (53 balls)
Harley 38 (34 balls)
End of Over 14: 66-0, runrate=4.71
Barry* 33 (37 balls)
Benjamin 32 (47 balls)
I am more than happy with the start my team has made but there is still a way to go.
i'm paying the price for dropping some of my bowlers, the opening bowlers did fine getting the first 10 overs out of the way for just 32 runs.
the next 2 aren't doing quite as well but they have taken the 1st wicket.
17 overs 83 for 1 - last 7 overs have gone for 51 runs !
16.1 . Verma to Blackburn
Short and wide, just like my mother in law. No run.
Thats my teams second 50!!!
End of Over 17: 122-0, runrate=7.16
I just hope my openers will make a 100 each!

That is some run rate, all most Surrey like. You could be heading towards 300 plus if you can maintain a good rate.

great to see your team going well mate !! well done
my reserve spinner is due to bowl the next over, should be intresting :)
I do like the commentary:
Blackburn struck that well but Cashion, standing close in, caught it between his thighs. A little higher and he wouldn't be celebrating.
Three wickets down now :(

1 run and 2 wickets :notworthy
I wish i was playing one of you guys!
The score in my friendly is currently: End of Over 25: 128-0, runrate=5.12
End of Over 25: 163-0, runrate=6.52
THE RUN RATE HAS COME DOWN A BIT
My first wicket fell End of Over 26: 167-1, runrate=6.42
Harley 65 (68 balls) is out
I would say you are on target for a score around 300 as they say usually at the 25 over stage you can double your score and add a bit more. The key will be if you can keep wickets in hand for the final push towards the end of the innings.
My run rate has dropped to just 3.93 as my batsman are struggling to get the singles. 110-4 after 29 overs.
My first 100
Crompton 102 (100 balls)
"That has gone so far back it's put a hole in the window of the press box. Massive, massive shot! The crowd are going wild! And that's a century for Crompton! Well played indeed Sir! "

I'm not doing too bad against rawowl.
I'm bowling:
End of Over 30: 110-4, runrate=3.67
Looks like a bowlers pitch though so have to wait and see how i fare...
back to my 2nd string bowlers so the run rate will start to climb again now :(
Well done guys !!! Brilliant stuff. Good to see the ups and downs ! Arrowst, great game mate, your boys did well although your middle order struggled !!! Bit of a Goughesque type fightback from the tail !
End of Over 32: 213-2, runrate=6.66 seems like a big score might be coming....touch wood

W Lawrence to North
A beautiful reverse swinger by Lawrence has left North's bat swinging at thin air. Middle stump takes off like a rocket and hits Bird in the leg. Ouch. Or, should I say, Out-ch. Sorry, I'll get my coat.
