A few pointers that I have picked up from some high quality manager's: - Bat your most experienced batsman at three. - Choose to bowl first and chase down the total. - Definately have an opening bowler on agressive, to look for early wickets. - Have your most powerful batsman opening and on agressive. Symonds Chasing the down the total is not alwayz an option. Especially on dry pitch. I try to bowl a opening bowler on aggressive and it seems to work most of the time. Agree with the powerful batsman opening. But lately, I have noticed that the Attacking batsmen get out very cheaply.

I think with the toss its much like real life, 90% of the time you want runs on the board. Defensive orders for you top 4 is a good idea, I also like to play with the idea of an opener on aggressive hoping he will get a quick fire 30+ as runs are so valuable on these pitches. I think when it comes to weakening your top order it can work against you losing 2-3 early wickets and then having your best batsmen to face the music anyway. If they are your best then they are the ones most likely to get through the difficult periods. Bowling options really depend on the weather for me, also I like to have around 2 aggressive spells. Usually early on in spells 1, 2, 3 and 4. It can also work wonders at the death if you have the right bowler. Sounds good.

I suppose the sub-continent wickets do not need an extra pace bowler.

Was a good victory for the English side yest, especially after the defeat to Ireland. The group seems kinda open still, although I expect the top nations to pull away from the bottom.

What is the best strategy for a sticky wicket? From what I have heard, a lot of upsets can be caused on such a wicket. Can anyone back that up for me?
Toss Decision I would prefer to bat first and let the opponent chase a score. Then hope that the NRR might get a bit difficult for them.
Batsmen How does the idea of playing the 2 of the top 4 on D sound? What about weakening the top order so that the opponent's weaker bowlers are left to face your best batsmen?
Bowlers Seamers and Spinners should love this pitch. Playing a mixed bag of bowlers should provide an advantage. How aggressive should the bowling orders be?

yup thanks to your help i've boosted my MR 25k and got right into tactics to do my bit to try and win all the time for the team One game to go. You know we expect you to make a clean sweep. This one is probably your toughest opponent. Boosting the MR is something I picked up recently and thought it would be prudent to share with the team.

For those not in the know, its a competition organized by the Indian community.
Its my second year that I have been involved in this competition and I should say its been fantastic. This time around I am captaining a side.
I have learnt a lot from this comp, including more specific tactics and understood on how to boost match ratings. Also got to interact with a lot more people.
Fun times..
