Too many short overs for me. You need to have a medium or FS on a long spell or two and on defensive. The only time I use the 2 over short spells is towards the end of the innings.

[PowerBug]

they ain't exactly short spell, just broken into different aggressions. :\

Bowling from the southern end it starts off with...

Fox - 3 overs
van de Bergh - 2 overs
Miller - 2 overs
Fox - 2 overs
van de Bergh - 2 overs
Bugge - 2 overs

How is that not short spells?

I guess I just looked at the 5 and 6 over spell from the northern end and then posted. :P Now that i see the other side, yes it's too short.



Can someone explain this to me:

I want you guys to look at who's taking the wickets, and look at the skills of all my bowlers, then tell me what's going on? :) Gonna lose, i rested too much. :(

[Cyrus]

hows that look now?

What's the reasoning behind Miller at the top of the order? What's his batting like? Personally if i was to open with a bowler, i'd have hi on Aggro to try and get say 20 off 20 to kick of with a good start.

Still too short on the northern end and I wouldn't have two sets of defensive spells in a row.

should i take out overs 23,25,27 and move them to the end of the innings?

Too many split orders Cyrus. I would go 1 maybe 2 bowlers split into 2,4,4 spells etc. I would generally do it on weaker bowlers. I don't have the side you do but I would throw it and use the money. If you stick to it, cut down the split spells. In my experience I have never used more than 2 bowlers

[Fletch74]

At the end of the day, the ME works in mysterious ways, so what you have there might work, and it might not... The key is to make sure you only use your strike bowlers on shorter agro spells and have your FS/M on some defensive spells to try and and hold down one end. One other thing is don't have too many A/D spells.

Result: Fletch's Fossils won by 6 wickets

Batting -Top Order 12,210 11,586

Bowling -Seam 11,583 (40) 11,135 (30)
Bowling -Spin 11,377 (10) 12,189 (20)
Fielding/Keeping 10,737 12,342
Overall 178,245 187,809

They made 200 from 50 overs on an Uneven pitch with Costanza taking 3 wickets, 2 in the first 5 overs, which allowed my bowlers to contain the RR, allowing an easy chase in 45 overs.

I rested 3 of my first XI, but my remaining players are fatigued for the PC. Still should rate >180k and opponent rates 190k. It's on a Hard pitch, so bowling first will be the key to a win.

[Fletch74]

BTW Cyrus never use Agro batting orders on a Sticky...

Something like a NDNNDDNDDDD would be the way I'd go. Don't want to throw away wickets at the end.
