Your bowling line-ups for both your test and ODI sides are fantastic, especially in ODIs - definitely one of the stronger bowling units.

Dude, I'd already selected Vaughan last round.

Was hoping Sarwan would slip through to me next round, as I'm fairly sure that we were the only selectors yet to pick a West Indian in our test sides.

Unfortunately, WI batting stocks are too limited as compared to other teams esp in this era.

My mistake - funny that no one picked it up until now though. Athlai am I limited to selecting another Englishman? If thats the case I'd go for Graham Thorpe.

Yeah I think choosing Wasim and Waqar first up gave me a pretty good foundation in choosing a very dangerous attack which worked out for me in the end. Bowlers in this era are rarer than decent bats IMO.

Yeah sorry guys these last few rounds I haven't been double checking the selections or the countries as you all have been pretty on to it. It'll have to be an Englishman.

Uhh I'm not so up to date on the simulators as I don't have one nor can I download one (due to my computer being a mac).
Tharmi, Matt and Somerset may be able to advise on the topic.
Also Round 11 may be followed by us picking grounds in Round 12 (if this can be used in a sim).

Yeah unfortunately VC4 isn't available for mac's.
If there is a sim some unlucky soul will have to volunteer.

What about choosing home grounds and then giving a rough outline of the conditions there.
0-0-0 right?

Thanks for the link, chaminda.
Looks complex enough and the data is of 2001, Need the latest stats to be loaded.

Your probably best letting teams select home grounds and let them pick the ratings they feel are why they selected the ground. If they are a long way off you can alter them.
