Awesome sauce. Forgive my N00b questions the sim is still new to me I did notice in the somestars game that they folded in the 4th inning and the Clones did as well in one game.
Yeah no worries! There will be a new sim next season so what you learn may become slightly outdated but I've mostly copied its features so it won't change all that much. If you look at the pitches that teams set at the start of the season: http://www.cricsim.com/showthread.php?31185-Season-12-Pitches The "cracking" setting determines how much it'll wear. Second XI games such as this one are played on neutral territory where cracking is set at 3/5. Pitches can vary from their default settings a little bit from game to game though.
