I'm hoping the same thing. I've dropped a batsman for a youth @ number 11 and dropped two spec spinners for two acc pacers. uneven suits getting me under tbh.
I've basically followed your lineup you posted for our match preview but instead of dropping van Zandt (my rfm bowler), I've dropped Garrick (my rm bowler). Might actually swap him back in though.....
ftr iridium the cap is 175K not 172.5. I was going to have it increasing each week with development but just said I'll meet it halfway and go 175K
End of over 20 (8 runs) - Walla Walla Weasel Wackers(98-2). 93 runs required from 20 overs. RR 4.90 RRR 4.65 K. Leon 18 (15b) , J. Lynch 48 (72b) , R. Kelly 6-0-30-0 Chasing nicely, hopefully we can maintain the run rate.
Just lost 4 wickets for 8 runs. :angry: End of over 26 (1 run) - Walla Walla Weasel Wackers(122-6). 69 runs required from 14 overs. RR 4.69 RRR 4.93 R. Joyce 0 (1b) , K. Moylan 1 (2b) , G. Kerr 5-0-29-1
Ouch. 5 wickets for 13 runs. I remember seeing a game where a team got bowled out for less than 10. Might have been someone on PC.net.
My youth opening batsman scoring 160 like a boss, hitting 284 in 40. Have them on the ropes at 90 for 3 after 16.
The thing about my match was that I out rated him by nearly 10k. Anyway, I've got 2 friendlies tomorrow, one at 4:20 and one at 15:00 which means matches all day
I hate losing to lessor sides. It's only a game but it does get under your skin sometimes. Silly aye.
My data has me winning (proportionally) 3 times more matches with a ratings disadvantage than losing with a ratings advantage. tl;dr I'm a gun ok!
