Before the game the captains toss for innings. During the match the captain decides the team's batting order, who will bowl each over, and where each fielder will be positioned. While the captain has the final say, decisions are often collaborative. 4 Current women's international captainsĬaptain's responsibilities During a match The toss.A captain's knowledge of the complexities of cricket strategy and tactics, and shrewdness in the field, may contribute significantly to the team's success.ĭue to the smaller coaching/management role played out by support staff, as well as the need for greater on-field decision-making, the captain of a cricket team typically shoulders more responsibility for results than team captains in other sports. Starting from team selection and then tossīefore the start of a match the home captain tosses a coin and the away captain calls heads or tails. The captain who wins the toss is given the choice of whether to bat or bowl first. The decision usually depends on the condition of the pitch and whether it is likely to deteriorate, the weather conditions and the weather forecast. The decision also depends on the relative strengths of the team's batting and bowling. For instance in Test cricket, a side with only fast bowlers may choose to bowl first to try to take advantage of any early moisture in the pitch, knowing that it will be harder to take wickets later in the match. Similarly a side with a weak opening batting pair may choose to bowl first in order to protect their batsmen. The captain decides where the fielders will stand, in consultation with the bowler and sometimes other senior players. The fielding positions will usually be dictated by the type of bowler, the batsman's batting style, and the captain's assessment of the state of the match (and hence whether to set an attacking or a defensive field). The captain decides when each bowler will bowl. If a batsman is seeking to dominate the current bowler, the captain may ask someone else to bowl alternatively, keeping the bowler on may be deemed the best chance of getting the batsman out or restricting the scoring rate. So my first response is to suggest you wait and try again unless someone recalls a recent mafia change that might have had an unintended side effect.If the regular bowlers are not achieving the desired results, the captain may decide to use non-regular bowlers to attempt to unsettle the batsmen. I always thought "I couldn't find that monster" meant there was an error in the monster name as sent to the faxbot but it could also mean the faxbot could not find a visitable clan to fetch the monster. That usually goes away after a couple of days. I occasionally see "I couldn't find that monster" even when the fax list says it should be available and all the usual issues with non-printing characters have been checked. That is something that the bot runner needs to address. Just because a faxbot shows up as online does not mean it is processing requests. The files are in data/ Easyfax.xml and faxlist.xml and if they are corrupted results will vary.

Once per session mafia will try and download faxbot files from a repository so if the repository is momentarily unavailable that will break faxing. Might not be a mafia problem but we shall see.
