The slow pitch killed Valk.

Thanks for the game mate and for your transfer market advice earlier in the season  8)

My team isnt setup to play on a slow pitch, my team is setup to play on green pitches - 4 pace bowlers and 1 spinner.  Good game McRooster considering I outrated you by 11k

I need help with my orders as I keep losing when I outrated the other team.

[cookie311993]

what were your orders against HP BB?

[bomberboy0618]

Batters (don't remember their names)
1. Agressive
2. Normal
3. Defensive
4.Normal
5.Aggressive

7.Normal
8.Defensive
9.Defensive

5/6 don't need to be aggressive remember how smart batsmen are in this game. They will score quickly in the last 20 overs on N so on A they will throw their wicket away. Also I wouldn't open with a guy on A you want your openers to get set and set up the innings.
On a bowlers pitch 9, 10, 11 on D is OK but just leave 8 on N.

its more that I put Angus on agressive coz he is a beast.
I'll make the changes a bit later.

All the more reason to put him on N or D ;)
His outs (if it is still outs) power wil allow him to score at a good rate anyway so A really is not needed :)

Too many bowling change ups in that Bowling Cookie. I only use about 2 Agro orders, and 2 Def orders per game.

[cookie311993]

that is the spells fletch

[Fletch74]

I know Cookie, that's what I'm talking about too. Don't want to be too agressive, nor too defensive IMO. I usually have 6 neutral spells in my orders.

[cookie311993]

i like to be more aggressive during middle of innings and defensive at conclusion of innings. Early wickets and keep the run rate low at end of innings. thats my thinking
