    You are listed as middle order which means you should be batting 3-7.
    And it would've been small either way.
     
  2. Fungus K Fung

    Hmm, 85. Not that good for a first round pick. :(
     
  3. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Well you are the best wicket keeper, so I think you were a perfectly reasonable first round pick.
     
  4. Storer BA Storer

    Oh, I see. Thanks.
     
  5. Julian BJ Taylor

    Our team will rely on Popovic, Fung, myself and hopefully the opening bowlers.
     
  6. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Lol @ Popovic actually being your second best bowler.
     
  7. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Your team has a pretty decent bowling attack though. Four pretty strong bowlers and Hebditch is decent enough. Ryabovol's a bit of a waste in the team being in the 6th best bowler and only marginally a better batsman than you, but you should be able to pick up someone in the second draft to replace him.
     
  8. Lukic L Popovic

    I'm a gun bowler

    OCC to confirm.
     
  9. Julian BJ Taylor

    Yeah unless it diminishes him somewhat I'd say Popovic would open with one of the out and out quicks.
     
  10. Julian BJ Taylor

    Reckon a second spinner would go ok to replace Ryab...
     
  11. Fungus K Fung

    I can't tell whether you are talking to yourself or whether you are replying to Julian's. :laugh:
     
  12. Cribbage RG Cribb

    He should be fine to open.

    Ideal bowling times:

    Fast: Overs 1-8 and 17-20
    FM: Overs 1-8 and 17-20
    MF: Overs 1-12
    M: Overs 1-12
    Spin: Overs 5-16

    Thing with that is, that'd leave one of the genuine quicks at first change and they'd end up bowling outside their 'ideal' time, whereas Lukic would be fine to bowl in the 8-12 period as well.
     
  13. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah, especially since there are four overs of the game that the sim basically wants you to bowl spin exclusively in (12-16), and you can't bowl from both ends.
     
  14. Lukic L Popovic

    I don't rate quick bowling at the death tbh.

    Personally reckon Medium is the best go.
     
  15. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Medium bowlers bowl line and length and get belted at the death. It's harder to get underneath genuine pace bowlers and they seem to have a greater ability to bowl yorkers.

    Medium bowlers are useful right up front when there's a bit of swing about or in the middle overs when they can bowl slower balls and cutters.

    Yorker bowling mediums.

    I just find pace is too easy to get the boundary since you don't have to generate the pace whereas with medium + spin, if you can get a perfect line and length (which is easier from that pace) you should go just as well.
