https://dccl.play-cricket.com/website/results/5120979One of the things that really annoys me about cricket in this game. For context Dales Council Division B is an average to below average standard of cricket certainly nowhere close to pushing the premier league standards and the visiting team is a third team.
Hundreds for both opening batsman as the home team racks up 414 in 40 overs, fair play lads well batted. Nice bit of hitting for number 4 with a quickfire 66 as well, no issues with what they've done there. Not content with hitting 168 has to open the bowling and send down 12 overs. 108 opening the batting, give me 11 overs first change please skip. 66 at number 4, let me open as well.
336 runs between the three of them and then they bowl 30 of the available 40 overs in the second innings! No wonder there is a struggle in retaining players when you see things like that, can't be much fun for the majority of players in that game.
Maybe they had literally nobody else who could bowl but personally I would be embarrassed to even be asked to open the bowling in those circumstances.
