Can you give me some more info about this player? I can't seem to find him on CricInfo.

 

[Daemon]

i think he means larry gomes

 

[OverratedSanity]

He meant Larry Gomes I think

Never mind, I found him, it was spelt Gomes.

Coronis's West Indies def. AndyZaltzHair's Pakistan 200-91. That WI pace quartet just too hard to get away, and they take wickets at a decent clip too.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Arghhhhhhhhh

Congrats Coronis

 

[kiwiviktor81]

I'd like to be allowed to make an exception and pick Rubel Hossain (64 ODIs) and Nasir Hossain (49 ODIs) in the side:

Fair enough. I suspect you'll have it tough enough already.

 

[harsh.ag]

Arghhhhhhhhh

Congrats Coronis

Thought it would be closer tbf. Guess having Zaheer Abbas ahead of Shoaib Akhtar could have got more runs (with Afridi as fifth bowler).

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Garner and Holding regularly strangled the Pakistani middle order in that sim.

Thumping 200-70 win for GI Joe's England against *****'s Bangladesh.



So,

SF1: Samuel Vimes's South Africa vs. Coronis's West Indies
SF2: GI Joe's England vs. weldone's India

Players have one day to change their teams if desired. If you haven't posted an updated team by 7pm tomorrow NZT, I will run the semifinals with the QF teams.

 

[cnerd123]

Unrealistic sim IMO.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Unchanged side for England here.

Having effortlessly brushed aside the might of Bangladesh, India should be a walk in the park.

 

[G.I.Joe]

While I pore over the data, the boys have been given the day off. I hear the beach has some nice relaxing pedalo rides for them to enjoy.

If you nominate a replacement for Flintoff I can simulate a 20% chance that he is unable to play any given iteration of the semifinal on account of still being a drunken wreck.

 

[weldone]

Marcus Trescothick
Nick Knight
Kevin Pietersen
Eoin Morgan
Paul Collingwood (c)
Alec Stewart (wk)
Andrew Flintoff (3)
Ian Botham (2)
Graeme Swann (4)
Darren Gough (1)
James Anderson (5)

I'll have the following team to take care of these hacks in the semi.

1. Virender Sehwag
2. Sachin Tendulkar
3. Virat Kohli
4. Gautam Gambhir
5. MS Dhoni (wk)
6. Suresh Raina
7. Kapil Dev (3)
8. Harbhajan Singh (4)
9. Javagal Srinath (1)
10. Manoj Prabhakar (2)
11. Anil Kumble (5)

There are many changes in the batting and bowling order. Kapil is coming as first change to take care of Pietersen and Morgan, for example. There is one main change in the team - Sehwag is in place of Ganguly. I don't need Ganguly's cake at the top any more because Gough and Botham don't sound as menacing as McGrath and Lee.

Dude, did you order the batting line up lower down based on strike rate?

 

[Howe_zat]

pick buttler ffs

 

[G.I.Joe]

pick buttler ffs

75 ODIs minimum qualification.

Not really, except for Prabhakar
