nails why are you playing 3 spinners. the most i ever play is 2. 3 spinners seems abit over the top to me

3 is very justifiable on a dry or crumbler, if the pitch isn't one of those, then nails is crazy :P

[Nails]

It's a spinners wicket with advantages for spinners

And 2 disadvantages for the seamers..

My 3 spinners are in my top 5-6 bowlers therefore by playing them it's probably my best possible lineup.

And here you can see maldos say that 3 spinners is preferred for this kind of pitch:

i dont like the idea of 3 spinners. Especially when one is 32 years old

[cookie311993]

for something out of the ordinary for everyone my Expert/reliable 20yo Keeper-Batsman just hit Brian Moser for 6

[Nails]

The 32yo isn't there to take wickets or anything, just to hold up an end so we can fit an extra batter in on a bowler's wicket.

Stone bowls both of his spells on D just to save us space in the squad.

He got bid on cookie!

Here's to hoping it doesn't get overturned, I've seen similar players go for more to n00bs...

Hopefully admins don't read my mails to him and think of it as cheating which several people said it isn't.

You need some variation with your bowling attack. You should have bowled, Harris, Mamta, Ud-Din, Greig, Maddox. Then your bowlers receive a bonus for covering every bowler type.

[Nails]

Harris is like two summary levels below Stone though and would be one less batsman in the side

Therefore the bonus they'd get would be cancelled out by my side being weaker.

You think about it the wrong way nails

[Nails]

my ratings drop like 5-10K if I don't bowl Stone...

[cookie311993]

Ratings dont really mean jack unless you are playing on flat or hard

[pyronerd]

my ratings drop like 5-10K if I don't bowl Stone...

ratings don't really matter that much, but I do agree that playing 3 spinners on a crumbler (an assumption I'm making is that you are on a crumbler) has it's merits. Spinners get a big bonus on crumblers, which is bigger than the bonus given for having a variety of bowlers. Being able to bat down the order is also very handy when playing on a crumbler.

[cookie311993]

Not sure if you know though but dry and crumbling are very prone to upsets. My worry with 3 spinners is 30 out of 50 overs being spin. Most likely spin will bowl at death or in unison

[Nails]

Stone is on now, let's watch him go Cookie ;)

I hope Siddiq doesn't get overturned... I'll get ~95K from the sale... and then if I decide to sell Kreder, Bubb and Pasuma I'll have like 200K+ to buy someone who's out/out or spec/spec

They'll probably replace Siddiq near the top of the order which would make my worst batter Yogish @ number 6 who's accom/accom.


@Pyro it's being played on a Hot/Dry - both disadvantage seamers and Dry advantages spinners.

[cookie311993]

He should get overturned. Kreder is only one you should really seel. Keep pasuma for now cause Mamta will start to go down hill in time
