Battrick thread, Part III

And my ya popped to strong, and I pulled an 18 yo respectable bowler. I listed him at 5k.

[kopiteinkc]

I am at strong too -- but pulled crap again. :(

[quentinc]

It is ridiculous how many bots there are in Sri Lanka. Looking at the cup page, every user-controlled team got a bot, and the IV series' are virtually all bots.

[Helghallen]

set a target of 324. Holding him to an RR of 4 or so. I'm golden for now.

My YS is still at whatever it starts at. I refuse to spend money on it for now.

[Bluto11]

no commentary for my match so far. i don't think there is any commentary for any of the windies matches

[Andy P]

10 overs to go and i'm getting a bit worried...

I bowled them out for 296 and seemed like i wasnt gonna have a problem with a RR of about 8 after 20 overs. Since then i've slowed up though and it's getting close.

40: 238-1, runrate=5.95, reqrunrate=5.90 (296-10)

I just started playing (in West Indies) but it still won't give me anything from my live match - is this usual a full hour into it?

nope, its usually up and running right at 10. they say it might take 5 minutes to get going, but that never happened to me. The games used to start at 10 AM central time, now its 9:30 central time.

[CharlesS]

It's match #40875 - can anybody else get anything out of it?

nope, i tried. this is weird. all the other countries have commentary.

[kopiteinkc]

Won my cup match TIE, quite close and my new bowler trainee got a bit of a hammering.

Time to sell a player or two -- I am in the hole badly!

[Bluto11]

still no commentary in the windies. this is bogus

[Bluto11]

i guess they are shutting down the site at 1730 battrick time to get all the matches running

[Craig P]

Over the last few weeks, the Windies tended to be ~15 minutes late providing match commentary, so it really shouldn't be a huge shock that three times the teams has resulted in a big freeze-up.

[Bluto11]

i didn' realize that. at work i wouldn't start checking until like 45 minutes in, so it was already running by then and I didn't know there was a delay.

it'll be back up at 12:30 central time, hopefully with commentary!

[Bluto11]

finally got some commentary. hit 400-1

with my opener hitting a 198 not out

lets see how my bowlers do!

Won by nine wickets. 55-53

Did my part to cut down on CPU cycles for the West Indies.

[Bluto11]

Won by nine wickets. 55-53
your bowlers just went nuts

[CharlesS]

They recovered from 92/8 after 24.6 to somehow post a competitive 230/9

And my openers (my only two decent batsmen) off to a flying start in the chase.

[Craig P]

The target we set was 382-5. :eek:

The bowlers are at 33-3, so it's looking like it would have been easier on BT for me to elect to field first. :p
