Well I was playing the local bot who was sitting on minimal points for the comp and I decided to rest a few of my bigger names.
In playing a new fella I discovered a top notch run scorer against some (what I thought were) no name bowlers.....at a price. In looking back at their previous bot games I saw dismisals of 89, 78 and 45 in an innings so I selected some real plonkers to bowl. Result.....lost first innings points. OMG.
So I tinkered with a few of the bowlers I had playing and set all the batsmen to very attacking for the second dig to look for quick runs. Trying to select between time left and runs in hand, I went lean and left them 181 to win on day 3.
1 for 11, 2 for 24, 3 for 86 and all was dandy......5 for 177 was not.
Enter Ashley Cranie who has been very part time at best for the Diamond Ducks, with figures of 1-14 at that stage and a 50 over ball the Minties had to come out along with a minor miracle for us to snag the goodies.
He goes bang and routs the Aussie Gangsters with an 3 over spell that produces 5-3, in tandem with Shaka who also bowled 3 maidens, to win the game by a single run.
The crowd of 1986 at AG oval must have been on the edge of their seats, before they ripped them off their posts and threw them at my players!!!!!
