Congrats guys.

(I just got back from a search and rescue training event, winter camping in -10 degree C weather). This outcome has warmed my heart.

Okay so we are still pretty light on some types of players but I know (sorta) how to work with what we have.

Home Bangladesh
Away USA
Ground Bangladesh CG
Match Nat One Day Friendly
Date 14 Dec 19 02:00
Weather Windy
Pitch Uneven

I like to rotate batsmen/keepers in friendlies so let's ser who I plucked out of a hat...

Mitch Harden
George Stevenson (c)
Dan Lamb
Philip Solomon
Francis Graves
Nicholas Todd (wk)
Carl Rivas (rf)
Trevor Johnson (lws)
Clinton Gallegos (rfm)
Benjamin Miller (rfm)
Miguel Pugh (rf)

I was tempted to have another fast bowler but that felt lopsided to me.

End of over 21 (1 run) - Bangladesh(86-5) RR 4.10
B. Bonds 0 (1b), M. Simoni 8 (23b), C. Gallegos (rfm) 3-0-10-2

It started off pretty well but we struggled to take wickets from then on and they ended up on 228-6.

The less said about our batting the better. We were all out for a disastrous total of 88. :(

I blame the players and being 10k behind in the ratings didn't help. But I see what you're doing; protecting the players from the media backlash by blaming yourself. That's good management!

League Nat One Day 3
Date 27 Jan 20 02:00
Crowd 20,000
Weather Sunny
Pitch Crumbling

We won the toss and decided to bat first.

We lost a wicket in the first over which may have looked ominous. However, we needn't have worried as we put together a good team batting performance 41 for Solomon, 50 for Harden and a crucial 54 from Ellison who did some excellent work with the tail order batters.

224 was a good total on a crumbling pitch but there was still work for the bowlers to do. Hodges made sure that the UAE didn't get off to a good start and the wickets kept coming on a regular basis. The spinners took the rest of the wickets with 3 for Hernandez, 3 for Johnson, and Barnes finished with figures of 2 wickets for 7 runs.

USA won by 123 runs.

Bangladesh up next.

We won the toss and bowled. Should we have batted? We probably couldn't have done any worse.

We dropped Khatun when he was on 16 and gave the Bangladesh batsmen plenty of chances (at least 5 missed chances from our fielders). Khatun went on to make 107 of their total of 310.

We were never likely to chase 310 but we didn't put up much of a fight. Todd made 51 and Pugh a respectable 32 considering he's a bowler. We were bowled out for a meagre 177.

New Zealand up next. We need to recover from this poor showing and pick up another win.

We lost the toss and were made to bowl.

I thought it was a decent effort to bowl New Zealand out for 220 but we could only manage 193. 61 not out from Harden was the standout performance with the bat for us but we couldn't get someone to stay in with him for long enough to get us over the finishing line.

Canada up next in a must win game for us.

We were made to bat first and it wasn't going too badly but we went from 76-1 to 115 all out. Thus our bowlers had no chance. Solomon hit a respectable 40 with the bat and Pugh was the best of the bowlers with 3-23.

We struggled ratings-wise throughout the league but, considering that, I guess 2 wins and 4th place is respectable.

End of over 6 (1 run) - USA(27-0) RR 4.50

We haven't lost a wicket but we need to start scoring more quickly.

Lost 2 wickets and the RR is still low; it's not looking good.

We probably needed 20 more runs. Need lots of quick wickets.
