Got nothing but spare time on me, ;)

[PowerBug]

haha nice. There's a tutorial on the game you can follow, have you done that? btw reading the rules is a brilliant idea, good to see you've got onto that straight away. Most of it might not make sense right now, but it will soon.

Have the others on chat told you (or have you figured out) how the game works, like the league structure, playing games, setting orders, different pitches etc?

[specky92]

Yeah, I'm creating a slightly blurry picture, I'm sure a lot of it will become clearer during the first game, (not sure when that is btw) orders are just tactics yeah?

[PowerBug]

correct, orders are tactics.
Quick thing to base your week around: Tuesday = Twenty20, Wednesday = Youth 40 overs, Friday = Senior OneDay 50 overs. So your first match is tomorrow. And being in the Netherlands, all matches start at 12:00 FTP time, which if you're in VIC (I assume that's where you live) is a 10pm start your time, so you'll have all day to set orders, and then check your result in the mornings. :D

[specky92]

Awesome, cheers PB, picked Netherlands cause 10 seems perfect time, only thing is not quite sure where you set the orders?

Edit: Got a crumbly pitch on a cloudy day, :/

The icon next to where you see your upcoming match. It's a blank clipboard. Once you save your orders, there'll be a tick on the clipboard so you know that you've set orders :)

Playing Q atm, i challenged at like 9:20 for a 10:00 start, and he didn't accept until 9:29, so i had one minute set orders, which i didn't to of course, so there's one bowler (Mupariwa) who's playing when i'd rather play Austin so there's some spin. (My defautl orders have 5 seamers :P) Sunny/Sticky is the pitch.

End of over 26 (9 runs) - SE Melbourne Thunder Dogs(97-2) RR 3.73
A. Zahra 6-1-22-1, P. Whitting 43 (88b), B. Puja 21 (27b)

Mupariwa is 0/19 off 7, so he's doing well. :D

My team is in the netherlands too. 10 seems like a good time but unless you plan on staying awake all night then its not great for watching. However the leagues are fairly easy so you should rise the ranks pretty quickly.

[specky92]

How long do the games go for?

[PowerBug]

30 seconds per ball. :P

T20's are 2 hours, Youth matches are 4ish and OneDayers are over 5 hours. Assuming all matches go the distance of course. :)


End of over 11 (2 runs) - PowerBugCC(39-2). 177 runs required from 39 overs. RR 3.55 RRR 4.54
A. Powers 1-0-2-0, F. Butt 21 (20b), S. Craig 4 (12b)

Q made 215/7, more than I would've liked, and I don't think i'll chase it, but i've started ok i guess. :)

[Master Q]

[PowerBug]
