Battrick Thread Part V

[Craig P]

Kevin, what skills does he have? And how much training have typical stars been getting?

By way of comparison, my stud batsman is currently at superb batting, quality concentration, with mediocre stamina and fielding. He's getting four nets sessions, two of batting and one each fielding and stamina.

FYI - there is a fitness bug in Australia and it is impacting a lot of people. Everyone's team fitness dropped to moderate and impacted the ratings. Check you fitness and take that into account before your game if you need to win today. I was at Lively - dropped to moderate - TIE and am still at moderate. Man - I hope they fix this as I have the second place team next week and wanted to be at top form for the game.

No - this is a some sort of bug where everyone's fitness was reset to moderate - at least that is what is being siad on the boards. Mine dropped from lively to moderate and never changed when I TIE last night. Almost cost me my match since I figured I was lively and at home so the guy had no chance.

yes, you're teams fitness will gravitate towards the center... so even when you are really low, it will come up as time goes by. Sometimes it doesn't happen in between matches because there are sublevels... for example

if exhausted is 1 and sublime is 11 there aren't simply 11 set fitness levels, perhaps there are 22 or 33 and if you are on low sublime, the chances of you slipping down energetic before the next match is greater than if you are high sublime.

match over. Won by 250 runs. NRR is no 19.75 :)

In and out of a long meeting to check on my game -- I hit 350-4, great score. But my opponent is hitting 6 an over and is currently 179-3

I am a little worried.

[romagol10]

After 10 hours of hard-ish work, I'm done writing the two papers I have due in a couple hours. Time for BT :D.

[Craig P]

If he's only averaging 6, he's falling behind as your pace was 7.

[Craig P]

My match has opened badly with the bowlers conceding 8 per. :eek:

We have one early wicket that does nothing to help things as it just brings in the opponent's best partnership.

[romagol10]

How's this for an over:
4.6 . Stevenson to Lonergan
forward defensive, cover fielding
4.5 . Stevenson to Lonergan
angled in, on the pads, great appeal turned down, going down leg
4.4 . Stevenson to Lonergan
well forward, gently stroked back down the pitch
4.3 W Stevenson to Solomon
Could have walked for that one! So plumb in front that the umpire was embarrassed for him. Thats out!
4.2 . Stevenson to Solomon
quicker delivery, bit of lift, went for the cut, beats the bat
4.1 . Stevenson to Solomon
inside edge, past the stumps, sq leg doing the fielding

Stevenson is a stud. :D

[romagol10]

7.6 W Honey to Lonergan
Straightforward outside edge to Wick at first slip.

Lonergan has hit the century 5 times this season. 2 quick wickets and one of their top batters out has me feeling good.

By way of comparison, my stud batsman is currently at superb batting, quality concentration, with mediocre stamina and fielding. He's getting four nets sessions, two of batting and one each fielding and stamina.

He's at quality batting with strong fielding. He was getting 1 batting and 1 fitness. The NT coach suggested 2 batting, 1 fielding, and 1 or 2 fitness, so I went out and changed it to 4 batting, 3 fitness, and 1 fielding.

[Craig P]

Wow, already at quality batting?

It was suggested that I might want to add batting sessions for Seargeant now before there are fitness consequences.

[Bluto11]

my morale has gone down again! the match isn't even over. does the system know i'm going to lose this match or something??

[johno]

I'm really in a quandry... i wanted to make all these gradual changes and I absolutely HATE to stop training prior to a pop but I may have to do just that with one or two of my trainees in order to get Owens some extra sessions before the fitness penalties kick in.

Anyway, all is going well in my match, I won the toss and batted first and I'm absolutely crushing their bowling attack.

End of Over 17: 122-0, runrate=7.18

Would someone mind giving me an update on my Mosquitos in WI III.8?

Thanks, I might take you up on the email offer... (T_B_F a+ Yahoo d0t com)

I normalled today, while it's good that the runrate is close to 3.5 I hope my normalled batting will be plenty to put me over the top against his bowling.... we'll see....

Like I said, this is one of the top 3 teams left in the series.

they don't have an owner anymore, not sure if its a bot run team now with all his old players still on it. weird. his entire sqaud is at worthless form.
