I love little quirks of statistics.

Andile Phehlukwayo, South Africa's fast bowler who bats 9 or 10th in the lineup currently has a batting average of 124. The highest in the team, nearly double that of AB de Villiers, one of the best players in the world.

The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t...

Unlocking Hera Tani This is just so pointless. 4 trips for no good reason other than waste time. It's probably going to take me 4 days. I can't imagine that the same people who brought my favourite game back to life could come up with such a useless system as the various engineering unlocks and crafting system that you HAVE to do to progress meaningfully. I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...
