NSC Game for a Thursday - Let's guide Sussex to Glory!

[The Great Cornholio]

For a bit of fun and to celebrate my saving of this game for emulator posterity, let's have a go on County Cricket for the C64. I'll post screenshots and you, the NSC Community, make the decisions.

We won't be able to finish the game today but it might help pass the time. It's a 45 over game and we are on the middle skill level.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Right, let's pick the team for the first game against Kent. First team submitted is the one we go with. We need to pick the teams and then the bowlers.

No-one playing today then?

 

[Trigger]

Can we drop Gould for Phillips and have this fantastic bowling line up?...

Clarke
Moores
Pigott
Babington
Phillips

 

[The Great Cornholio]

I've made the change and picked the best 4 bowlers. Here is the opposition and the wicket - choose Heads or Tails

 

[Pevenseagull]

heads never fails

 

[Barnet Seagull]

(T) AILS

 

[The Great Cornholio]

heads never fails

Apart from this time - Kent win the toss and elect to bat. Please pick the first 2 bowlers.

 

[Notters]

Moores and Babington

 

[The Great Cornholio]

How attacking should the field be?

 

[Pevenseagull]

attack, attack,

attack attack attack (1)

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Very attacking. It's a fast wicket.

 

[The Great Cornholio]

The C64 seems to be picking it's own bowlers. Oh well, an early scoreboard.

And here is the final Kent scorecard. They'll be a while before the Sussex reply as I have got to collect my car.

We'll give this up as a bad job - the game is full of errors. Here is the Sussex card anyway.
