JP’s Cricket Sim

I mmean if he picks Ponting then can i pick him?

btw can we pick old players then if u said ANY players?

No, New Zealand is still the domain of Titan, minimurali.

Ireland, Zimbabwe, Kenya are the biggest nations not yet taken.

We currently only have A teams for Australia, and England.

Clobber, the stats of retired players are determined by age, amount of games played and how long they've been retired.

For example, Titan bought Roger Twose out of retirement, and his batting average of 39 dropped to 19, due to being 37 years old, and having been retired for 5 years.

Once players are past 35, their average does go up/down a lot. You could probably take an estimate and say the difference is about 10-20 points.

EDIT: I use a spreadsheet to work this out - lots of hlookups and things.

Update on who we have confirmed:

PREMIER: South Africa, India, Australia, England, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, West Indies, Bangladesh

FIRST: Pakistan, England A, France, Afghanistan, Australia A (if minimurali decides to carry them on)

Hopefully, I can get this started in around 10 days, after the World Cup is finished.

They do.

By the way, there is a vacancy at the West Indies, which I don't think I made clear before.

This is hilarious. I have my French squad ready to go. Anyone fancy a friendly?

Anyway, my provisional squad - Peter Linton, Gareth Edwards, Shabbir Hussain, Georges James, Javed Ijaz, Paul Wakefield, Ayeppin Rattiname, Val Brumant, Rajkamer Dharmarajah, Buddhi Attanayake, Arun Ayyavooraju, Thierry Pascal, Nigel Jones, Mathieu Royant, Philipe Martin, Sujeewa Mahavadanage, P Ayyavooraju, Charles-Henry Daffern, Sulanga Hewawalandage.

France stun the cricketing world by drawing with Sri Lankan XI

Sri Lanka 432/1 (Zoysa 229*, Dilshan 137*) and 178/0 (Muralithuran 83*, Zoysa 80*)

France 247 (Pascal 50, Herath 7-90) and 180/6 (S Hussain 53, Herath 6-71)

I couldn't make Jayasuriya and Herath open as it messed the game up.

P.S: Warnester, I wouldn't worry too much about this result, I just ran a game with the normal Sri Lanka team and Jayasuriya got 384*, Sri Lanka 573/0 declared and won by an innings and 267 runs. Seeing as they lost no wickets, they technically won by 2 innings!

Hi Jp

I would like to resign as coach of NZ for the Test cricket sim, I had a good time with the blokes but would like to move closer to home.

Therefore I am officialy applying for the SA A job!

I know Blackcap and Minimurali was interested at one stage to take NZ.

Do you know if the Bird is still around?I see he is the head coach of the SA team.So I will have to wait for him to select his squad first.

How will you workout the avg for the A teams, most players has only played first class cricket and some only a few test matches, so these players test avg will be poor, will you look at test avg and first class avg?

I don't know about you but lets get the show starting,the coaches that is knockout of the World Cup can already name their squads!!

The Bird will be taking part, I shall PM him to let him know that we're underway (at least with squad selection) soon.

Well, I imagine you'll be able to pick a few players who have Test experience that the bird doesn't pick but otherwise, FC average is taken - the more FC matches a player has played, the closer it'll be to their calculated Test average, if that makes sense.

So, a vacancy for Bangladesh. Anyone?
