My 5th and 7th wicket partnerships saved me an embarrassing score but unfortunately they're eating into it with Sutherland non-contributing again with 0-38 from 7 overs

End of Over 26: 90-2, runrate=3.46, reqrunrate=4.79 (204-10)
Mushtaq 3-0-6-0
Pitcher* 17 (52 balls)
Kiely 22 (53 balls)

Last Wicket: Maylett b. Mccoy 27 (FOW: 58/2)

Was Sneath in the end. Mind you, i hadn't noticed that his 90 came off only 61 balls!

Well I have to say I'm seriously unhappy. In the current climate of mass collapses at the end, we expose our oppositions No's 7 and 9 with 27 runs still required. Not only do we not get rid of any of them, Sutherland comes back on and finishes the job for them:

45.3 4 Sutherland to Aujla
Advanced, managed to play it past a diving mid off fielder and it goes straight to the boundary.
45.2 6 Sutherland to Aujla
Picked up over mid wicket for the maximum.
45.1 b1 Sutherland to Fallon
The ball swings down the leg side, great stop by Askew, but he still can't prevent the bye.

Leaving him with 0-48 from 7 overs (their overall run rate was 4.48). Buying him and selling Laird, Longthorn and Firth was probably the worst decision I've ever made and has set me back about a season in terms of my teams development.

What are his attributes ? RFM, Remarkable Bowling, Resp Cons?

If so, have you tried a Cracked pitch ?

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I won by 6 wickets, which should enable me to finish 6th, could even sneak 5th if I can beat the side just above me. So looks like TIE for the rest of the season and hope for the best in the play-off....

I was moving to flat so he and Sajjad could both get equal benefit. The way my batsmen are collapsing on any pitch anyway I might as well go for cracked!

I would have thought for a bowler with high skill (eg remarkable) but low consistency you would want a hard and fast or a flat pitch to get the most out of them. Think sajid Mahmood, rather than Jon Lewis.

A cracked, green or uneven pitch you want your bowler to be as consistent as possible, hitting the same spot and letting the pitch do the work. that is going to be Lewis rather than Mahmood.

Why are you only getting Proficient Seam Bowling when you have a Remarkable FM ?

That's a harsh loss BTW, on those ratings he must have GFI'd having TIE'd his last few games.

 

[MrB]

Played hard and fast for a few weeks and he took 6-212, worse than any of my other bowlers. I think I may just have a duffer. He's training bowling and fielding, I may just give him a WK net for a few weeks to try and pump that secondary a bit.

The pitch will be flat by Sunday, I'll see how he gets on against BB's reserves!

I don't find that Green helps FM's at all, seems to suit M, and then F or S.

Just the fact that he's Remarkable on a Cracked pitch should be a big help, although I accept your point about Cons. However, surely Respectable Cons should be enough in IV
