[GotSpin]

Defaintly Armstrong as we have a remarkable batting at 6 he wont be required to wield the willow that often, plus that sensational concentration probably makes him equal to Gray.

 

[Robertinho]

Close contest for the keepers:

Marvin Gray - 19 yo, BT Rating=22,598
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic
A defensive player with abysmal leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: competent
Batting: strong Concentration: strong
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: competent
Fielding: feeble


1. David Armstrong - 19 yo, BT Rating=47,838
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A cautious player with worthless leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: respectable
Batting: respectable Concentration: sensational
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: proficient
Fielding: mediocre

Batting overall is about the same in my opinion given 3 levels of concentration is roughly one level of batting. Obviously mine has the edge in keeping.

Yeah it's pretty close, actually I'm pretty sure there are better players than Gray, Armstrong and Mccammon going around. For me, Mccammon isn't that great because his stamina is such a liability. Probably put Hamshaw (Nibbs) in instead of Mccammon and find a better keeper.

Gray and Armstrong are pretty even, Gray appears to have the edge in batting but with the batsmen above whoever gets the spot, batting won't make too much of a difference. So I'd say, if you're looking for a bit of batting as well, you would go for Gray (he's close to Superb batting/Resp keeping anyway). If you want the best keeper, it's obviously Armstrong. But IMO, if you were going to go for Armstrong for his keeping, you may as well go for a specialist keeper anyway.

 

[GotSpin]

Isn't Hamshaw only a superb? Though i do agree that Mcammon is a liability because of his stamina.

Do you think its worth it to give him two fitness nets?

I wouldn't say Gray has the edge in batting looking at their records in friendlies, which should be against similar opposition (if anything you'd have had easier games with better morale). For keeping secondaries play a part in it as well, so he's better than a normal respectable keeper. He should be about half-way up both batting and keeping (not getting keeping training at the moment and the records I keep are on my old computer).

 

[Adamc]

Nah I think Mccammon is still better despite his stamina, and if you're going to include Hamshaw, Wynand is theoretically a better batsman anyway (and has the higher fielding rating to put him ahead). There are better batsmen though.

4. Satish Abdul kadir (lancashire) - 19 yo, BT Rating=27,091
LH Batsman, LFM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, lively
A defensive player with feeble leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: feeble
Batting: superb Concentration: superb
Bowling: competent Consistency: respectable
Fielding: competent

One of PY's is superb/comp/comp but with proficient fielding.

He should be about half-way up both batting and keeping (not getting keeping training at the moment and the records I keep are on my old computer).

I didn't say he had a big advantage, but IMO a Strong/Strong offers more than a Resp/Sensational, because despite Armstrong's awesome secondaries (which would make him an even better keeper), he's still only a Resp bat. Can't believe you'd even look at friendlies... they're as unreliable a guide to what a player is like as normal OD stats.

Still, I don't think either deserve to be in the team, there has to be a better keeper out there somewhere.

Also, Hak, tell us what Herbert and Tuck are!

 

[Jamee999]

What are the primaries for those players in the team?

 

[Adamc]

Educated guesses (apart from the ones I actually know):

1. Fitz Watkins - remarkable bat, strong bowl
2. Usmal Jayasuriya - superb bat
3. Sol Cuss - remarkable bat
4. Jason Duggan - quality bat
5. Shaka Herbert - superb bat
6. Grady Mccammon - remarkable bat
7.(wk) Marvin Gray/David Armstrong - see above
8. Dwight Tuck - superb bowl
9. Ricky Louis - remarkable bowl
10. Swagat Moodley - quality bowl (maybe remarkable)
11. Jason Lovegrove - wonderful bowl

Cuss and Watkins are both close to wonderful, don't know about the rest.

 

[Jamee999]

I guess Bardle would be close to being a bowling reserve.

 

[PY]

My keeper is:

Rakesh Ahmed - 20 yo, BT Rating=14,420
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A defensive player with abysmal leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: proficient
Batting: respectable Concentration: respectable
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: competent
Fielding: feeble

I'd go for him as he won't need to bat and he has the best wk skill.

Chanderpaul is the only other character of mine to be near the side as Adam mentioned:

Sandeep Chanderpaul - 19 yo, BT Rating=19,555
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A destructive player with competent leadership skills and feeble experience.
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: superb Concentration: competent
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: competent
Fielding: proficient

Not quite there but on the fringes.

 

[cricketboy29]

The only two players, anywhere near that list for me.
Jermaine Thorp- Strong-Woe-Feeb (Bat-Conc-Stam)
Amulya Islam Strong-Med-Woe. (Bowl-Cons-Stam)

 

[ash chaulk]

i have a high rating Keeper

Pete Berry - 20 yo, BT Rating=24,447
LH Batsman, LF Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic
An attacking player with feeble leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: strong
Batting: feeble Concentration: superb
Bowling: feeble Consistency: proficient
Fielding: abysmal

he cannot bat h/s of 34 bats at 7

 

[33/3from3.3]

Rookies are players who have played 5 or less games as of the start of the season
I don't think it'll be a waste of time it'll take 5 minutes to put your player's success


As for that team maybe we could take the most successful five bowlers and most 6successful batsman (one of which should be a reasonable keeper )

That is all

 

[Jamee999]

I take it your doing bowling on average, as Bardle doesn't play every match

 

[Robertinho]

I guess Bardle would be close to being a bowling reserve.

Well what are his stats...

 

[marc71178]

I don't think stats are that useful to be honest - my bowlers are always playing weaker teams so will have low numbers, but they're not as good as other people's bowlers!

 

[Robertinho]

Argh, I don't really mean averages and the like, but his bowling & consistency... Attributes a better word?

 

[marc71178]

I was talking more about the comment about 6 most successful batsmen and 5 most successful bowlers.

 

[Robertinho]

In my defence:

I think if Hamshaw was a better bowler, he'd warrant selection, but even then, I think that there are better allrounders at cricketweb, so he is probably going to remain one of those fringe player cw xi players...
