You're punished for not having bowled in 70 innings. Your adjusted bowling average is 35.9. His adjusted bowling average is 39.2. It's just been determined that you haven't done it long enough to prove that the difference is not "beginner's luck" as such.
*Posts to check how I am going on my quest to reach top 50 in both* EDIT: 55th in both batting and bowling. Decent.
It's a long process. Shower first (which I've done), then several hours of psyching myself into it, then Baileys Irish Cream, then finding something decent to watch ot TV, then watching it for 20 seconds before falling asleep.
Just realised, I'm top 20. Shit. If I wasn't getting penalised for being a newbie, I'd have a gun ranking. Gone up 15 places in 2 rounds...
