Australian Cricket Draft

[eth-dog]

we don't need a 12th man tbh

 

[DeeWong6996]

So only one pick reggie instead of two, and then we will start simming

What stats will you use?

 

[DeeWong6996]

I'm happy to use whatever. I still favour the default stats, but I completely understand if RL is more popular

 

[eth-dog]

default stats take the fun out of it. What are they anyway?

Batsmen 45/99
Keepers 40/99
Bat AR 40/40
Pure AR 35/35
Bowl AR 30/30
Bowlers 15/25

or something like that? And with all of those you'd have to ask who are batting/bowling/pure A/R's so real life works better

 

[DeeWong6996]

Could everyone prepare their lineups, with each players real life stats beside the name? I don't want anymore holdups

Eg,

1. Warner - LHB (49)
2. Finch - RHB (30)
3. Marsh - LHB (36)
...
7. O'Keefe - RHB (32) LAS (28)

If they have played test cricket, then the coach has the option of picking either test stats or their first class stats. I strongly urge you all to record stats as they are and not enlarge them, as I don't want to be searching every player on every team to ensure no one is trying to get a leg up.

And of course, permission to round up >.5

And of course, permission to round up >.5

Permission to round up amounts greater than .5??

You could put any average ...

 

[DeeWong6996]

GAME 1
Smartys VS Reggie

Smartys Power has a full side, so could you start preparing your line up? reggie too after he picks

 

[DeeWong6996]

You know what I mean.

 

[eth-dog]

Also: I propose a peace settlement. We (the players) give you the stats for each player we have. For me:

Townsend LHB (30/99)
Pomersbach LHB (40/99)
Burns RHB (41/99)
Handscomb RHB (32/99)
White RHB/LS (40/41)
Hopes RHB/RFM (32/27)
Hartley LHB (+) (32/99)
Faulkner RHB/LFM (27/22)
Hastings RHB/RFM (25/25)
Coulter-Nile RHB/RF (18/27)
Lyon RHB/OS (14/32)

 

[DeeWong6996]

Peace settlement? And thanks, your third up I think

 

[Mateyman]

Can you post all the matches again please?

 

[eth-dog]

Peace settlement? And thanks, your third up I think

I know how laborious it can be entering averages on a sim when looking them up

 

[DeeWong6996]

First Round

Smartys Power VS reggie
DeeWong6996 VS mClarke329
eth-dog VS Mateyman
BoshtrichBurger VS MG MG


Second Round

mClarke329 VS eth-dog
MG MG VS DeeWong6996
Mateyman VS Smartys Power
reggie VS BoshtrichBurger


Everyone gets one home game, and decides what type of pitch* the game will be played on. If you have any problems with this fixture, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

*There are three types
1. Excellent - Favours the batsmen
2. Normal - Even contest between bat and ball
3. Poor - Favours the bowlers

 

[DeeWong6996]

Should we start up a new thread for the matches? Or are we happy having them here in this mess ...

 

[eth-dog]

probs start a new thread, but wait until everybody is done first

 

[Mateyman]

1. Chris Rogers (50/99)
2. Mark Cosgrove (44/42)
3. Tom Cooper (32/66)
4. Michael Clarke (53/36)
5. Ben Rohrer (40/23) - makes for a strong 5th bowler - this is his FC average.
6. Chris Lynn (36/99)
7. Brad Haddin (+) (39/99)
8. Luke Butterworth (27/23)
9. Ryan Harris (18/23)
10. Michael Beer (11/40)
11. Gary Putland (6/24)

 

[Mateyman]

We could play my game against eth-dog whenever we want now

 

[Mateyman]

Also, what will be the deal with Rohrer? His average is 23 in FC, so what happens there?

 

[DeeWong6996]

How about we have a maximum of 5-6 bowling options. I guess it's down to our own judgement really, but if they only bat then don't list there bowling average they got from bowling a few overs that one time or whatever...

 

[DeeWong6996]

Anymore than 6 your front line bowlers will get severely underbowled...

I would say Cosgrove, Cooper and Rohrers bowling average is irrelevant

 

[DeeWong6996]

And I'll sim you guys tomorrow morning, teacher strikes so I have no school

 

[Mateyman]

Anymore than 6 your front line bowlers will get severely underbowled...

Cosgrove bowls a bit. And also, the unfairness with Rohrer's average is mitigated by other unfair things in this system e.g. a spinner who would make the Australian team is worse than all Australian pacemen selected

 

[Mateyman]

Also, what if I only nominate 4 bowlers for the simming

 

[DeeWong6996]

I'd cap the bowling options to 5, and put it down to judgement who gets to bowl. Like nothing outrageous, 40/23 split you have a superstar. So yeah, down to your discretion but don't be silly
