Subject: Battrick

I'm playing the obligatory div.III bot today - they're 49 all out.

I'm playing a very weak side so that I can hopefully get 3 days income and start getting some points in the ODs. I was worried at 24-1 that I'd put too much cannon fodder in

I'm still rubbish.

End of Over 22 (13 runs). Garboldisham Casuals: 96-3, runrate=4.36
Lead by 64 runs. (Toms Stumps 32-10)
Flood 4-0-21-0
Lane* 48 (48 balls)
Noble 16 (27 balls)

Edit : But they are worse. I've only just realised that they had batted already.
(edited)

you do seem to be in a safe 4th place in your league

but I am still rubbish.

I'm playing the side just above me today. And handing them their ass on a plate.

End of Over 22 (8 runs). Pboranjing CC: 111-2, runrate=5.05
Lead by 19 runs. (Must Destroy CC 92-10)
Allan 2-0-15-0
Lepolesa* 43 (43 balls)
Walters 65 (68 balls)

these bots are too easy

End of Over 20 (7 runs). Leeds Apathetical: 154-1, runrate=7.70
Lead by 105 runs. (Ogmore-by-Sea CC 49-10)

I hope I don't reach my declaration target today

Boo, not going so well now, at tea.

End of Over 32 (4 runs). Pboranjing CC: 146-4, runrate=4.56
Lead by 54 runs. (Must Destroy CC 92-10)
Allan 7-0-34-1
Lepolesa* 54 (66 balls)
Pace 4 (3 balls)

Lepolesa still there, though. What a guy :)

I've lost a wicket!


End of Over 35 (2 runs, 1lb). Leeds Apathetical: 247-2, runrate=7.06
Lead by 198 runs. (Ogmore-by-Sea CC 49-10)

yawn, I'm going out

I'm at home, unlikely that i'm going to see a second day, i declared at 350...80k lost :(

End of Over 51 (6 runs). Jock Saltires: 350-2, runrate=6.86
Lead by 322 runs. (Allbrook Allstars 28-10)

Why declare at 350? when you get an extra batting point for 360+? Guessing you set 350 as target declare?

when you get an extra batting point for 360+

You do?

:/

I'll know for next time, at least they are performing better this inns and i should get some more income tomorrow :)

Points System.

The points scoring system for the First Class leagues is as follows:
For a win 14 points are awarded to the winning side.
For a tie 7 points are awarded to each side.
For a draw 4 points are awarded to each side.
For a loss the losing side gets no points
There are also bonus points awarded for the performances of each side in each first Innings. These are awarded as follow:
200 - 239 runs = 1 batting point
240 - 279 runs = 2 batting points
280 - 319 runs = 3 batting points
320 - 359 runs = 4 batting points
360 runs or over = 5 batting points

3 - 5 wickets taken = 1 bowling point
6 - 8 wickets taken = 2 bowling point
9 - 10 wickets taken = 3 bowling point

Thanks for that, it explains a lot.

I've won all my FC matches so far this season with 22 points, now i know how i accumulated them.

Guess i've just gone and blown my perfect record now :)

I would advise you to set the declare total for 370 or something, as it has been known depending on your captain, to declare at 359 instead of 360.

Remember these points are only for the 1st inns aswell, not both.

Yep, clear now, Cheers

Scotsmen and cricket eh?

:)

Haha could be worse --- Englishmen and winning eh? :)
