Battrick thread, Part IV

[John_Harkes_6]

I won while TIE last night. Not sure whether to TIE again next week or not - guy just took over a team this week and lost to the fourth place team but it is much closer than it had been against the previous owner.

My runs slowed down a bit

End of Over 45: 261-4, runrate=5.80, reqrunrate=7.20 (296-6)

C'mon slog him for six!!

if you win, i take credit for making it happen because i'm following your match right now

Ok! :)

9 off the next over, I think I may have it now :)

[Bluto11]

guess your opponents bowlers have really bad stamina

Run rate always increases in the last 10 overs for all teams

[kopiteinkc]

And I win in the 49th over, YES!!! :)

but i think if his bowlers had better stamina then they would bowl better and the run rate would not have gone up as much as it did.

nice win.

Possibly, but even my bowlers with good stamina concede more runs in the last 10 overs.

The Battrick match engine is trying to reflect the real nature of the actual game, which is in the last 10 overs, the batsmen really increase their tempo and go for broke.

gotcha. but in that regards wouldn't the bowlers attitude towards the match change if they were keeping the run rate down with 10 overs left?

Well they should be more likely to get more wickets, so a very good bowler with high bowling skills AND good stamina should be able to do that.

my fitness level and team morale updated already.

kidna weird, isn't it?

i mean the morale is at pessimistic which i figured would happen anyway because I'm going to lose this match, but still, it happened before the match or during as opposed to after

Yeh, I played TIE and it moved upto moderate before the game was over.

Big week in my series as the top 4 teams all play each other.

I'm up against the #3 and looks like its already in the bag...


Atlanta Mosquitos v Flanels (112993)

here's the thing... if a team has several wickets in hand they've got to take more risks than usual if there are only a few overs left... it means like kopite said there'll be a greater chance for wickets, but that's how it goes in cricket... generally the first 15 overs and the last 10 overs (15 if there are less than 3 wickets down) are usually periods when batsmen take some risks.

Bowled them out for 148 and now I'm 23/1 in reply. Should have no problems despite the TIE.

En route to a ten-wicket TIE victory against one of the semi-competitive teams in the series. The bowlers get most of the credit here as the opposition was bowled out for 107-10, setting up an easy chase. We're currently at 94-0 after 17 overs. Make that 103-0 after 18, the next over or two will finish it.

[Helghallen]

I won by 10 wickets :)


240-238. I rule :)

[Craig P]

My ratings are getting sick even on TIE. We put up superb top-order batting and proficient seam bowling today.
