4th Ashes Test- simulation

[dogs105]

I just bought this version of dice cricket:

*NEW* Dice Cricket, a new game updated from the old OWZTHAT hexagonal rollers

[A new 'PDF only' version of this game, without international shipping / handling / customs costs, is now available. See the message on October 10, 2021, on page 2 of this thread, for full details.] Inspired by the old ‘Owzthat’ game that many of us played for hours and hours, many years ago...

www.planetcricket.org

It's based on percentile dice, with different pitch conditions, batting approaches, and player ratings. I am using it to simulate the remainder of this series.

For the 4th test at Old Trafford, we are starting with a flat wicket for the first 2 innings, degrading to 'regular' for the 3rd innings, and 'turning' for the 4th.

Players are rated from A to D for batting and bowling. I chose some cut off points for career averages. And then looked up current stats. The two teams are those named for the 4th test. Ratings are below:

 

[dogs105]

Australia have won the toss, and will be batting first.

 

[dogs105]

Couple of early boundaries off Wood, and the Australians get away to 31, before Woakes strikes with his first ball to remove Khawaja, bowled for 15.

Australia 1-31

 

[dogs105]

After starting off with 4 maidens, Woakes goes bang bang at the start of his 5th to remove Labs and Smith (first ball - caught Root) and now has 3-0!

Australia 3-33. Warner not out 16.

 

[dogs105]

Travis Head elects to bat with the "attacking" approach. Starts with a flurry of quick runs, but then Stokes finds the edge and the catch is taken by Crawley.

Australia 4-40. Warner 16*.

 

[dogs105]

Stokes completes a caught and bowled to remove Marsh for 4. Australia 5-48. Warner 20*

 

[dogs105]

Australia go to lunch at 50-5.

Broad 0-16
Wood 0-14
Anderson 0-6
Woakes 3-3
Stokes 2-10

 

[dogs105]

Warner falls for 25, c Stokes b Anderson, and Australia are 6 - 68. Green is 15*.

 

[dogs105]

Carey is gone, LBW to Moeen (reverse sweeping?) for 5.

Australia 7-83. Green 24*.

 

[dogs105]

Starc goes for 2 and Woakes has 4. Bairstow completes the catch.
Australia 8-92. Green 30*

 

[dogs105]

And Australia limp on to tea at 8-113.

 

[dogs105]

Cam Green ticks past 50. Cummins hanging in with him.

Hi all, I thought I would put together a thread that assisted with using the SIM(s). Test/OD sim The Test and OD sims are part of the same download, they are both developed by the same person, so therefore work the same way. But in order to use this sim, you will also need to download DOSBox...

Big recovery as Australia end the first day on 8-230. Green 110*.

 

[dogs105]

Green hits out early on the second day, before being bowled by Broad for 162. He shared in a partnership of 182 with Cummins, who remains 48*. Australia are 9 -274

 

[dogs105]

Cummins throws the bat, in a partnership of 61 with Hazlewood. He takes Ali for 2 sixes to move from 86 to 98, before being caught by Wood on the boundary. Hazlewood remains 6 not out.

Australia all out for 335, a remarkable recovery from 8-92.

England to face 5 overs before lunch on day 2.

 

[dogs105]

5 overs of Bazball sees England go to lunch at 0-69.

Does the sim cater for rain

Does the sim cater for rain

I'm assuming it had 4 days washed out after England found themselves in a commanding position.

Hopefully it also includes simulated Piers tweets.

How many catches did Bairstow drop.

 

[luthor]

How many catches did Bairstow drop.

10

Edit: I take issue with Byestow only conceding 4 byes.

Game is rigged
