Am enjoying my first Challenge game against Cookie. One question - are the scores fairly comparable to a regular game of cricket? What is a good score in a one dayer?

Depends on the pitch...

Flat/Hard - >300
Green - 220 -260
Dry/Uneven/Crumbling - 200-240
Slow/Sticky - 180-220

These are just rough guides as it also depends on your opponent ;)

Thanks Fletch!

I won't hide from it. Was absolutely spanked in my first two challenges - by Torp and Cookie. Got a long way to go, but enjoying it all the same. Happy to take other challenges from folks who'd like an ego boost for their players  :D

You did well spin. You managed to bowl my affiliate all out. I noticed you need a better wicket keeper

Spinking

Yeah. Got a new one this morning. The old one dropped too many catches for my liking  :)

The reas tech is a bit of a worry

Spinking

Can that be improved by giving him Technique training, or should I be looking for someone else?

He will be okay for now but low tech normally means they will have less technique with the gloves and are likely to let a fair few byes through
