2013 mate Roy won't be worth much salt. You'd be able to put together a more imposing NZ side tbqh

I'd probably advise against Roy, as he hadn't made his international debut yet in ICC '13. Root & Buttler, having played in only 6 & 8 ODIs, respectively, at the time, might be worth reconsidering too.

Fine I'll play
NZ

So Starc is gone.

Adam Gilchrist +
Mark Waugh
Ricky Ponting*
Michael Bevan
Michael Hussey
Shane Watson
Andrew Symonds
Shane Warne
Brett Lee
Nathan Bracken
Glenn McGrath

Dean Jones
Dennis Lillee
Ian Healy

Watson to open in case Gilly gets injured. Healy in at number 7.

 

[harsh.ag]

Btw can you tell me how Bracken and Lillee are rated in the game?

Also, how does the game penalize you for not having a specialist keeper?

Don't answer that. Or if you do, release the rating list for everyone.

I'll take India. Posting team in a moment.

V Sehwag
S Tendulkar
V Kohli
MS Dhoni+
Y Singh
S Raina
K Dev (1)
M Prabhakar (2)
H Singh (5)
J Srinath (3)
A Kumble (4)

S Ganguly (whenever any batsman is injured)
R Dravid+ (only when Dhoni is injured)
R Jadeja (whenever any of the main 5 bowlers gets injured, always becomes the 5th bowler pushing everyone else up in the bowling order)

 

[honestbharani]

Bat Yuvi at 4 and drop Prabhakar for Zak and play Ganguly for Sehwag.

Bugger. Here's me thinking I'd actually have a statistically good batting order.

Stewart and Gooch in the top 3, Morgan at 5. Lamb as reserve bat.

[mr_mister]

Harris and Astle unlucky there. Good to see Twose though

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Kyle Mills was another I wasn't sure whether to leave out or not

This. But as far as the game goes, I can confirm that non-wicketkeepers seem to perform worse and drop more catches than usual.

Confirmed entrants:

Morgieb RSA
Shri WI
Harsh AUS
MM PAK
Randy SL
weldone IND
TBP NZ
Howe ENG

The top 8 have been taken, so it's looking a bit like a Champions Trophy right now. Will leave entries open for a little while longer to see if anyone wants to grab the Zim/Bang/Ire/Afg composite or an 'A' team.

 

[morgieb]

Looking forward to cruising to the semis before losing in dramatic fashion.

Unless I'm missing someone, you still need to pick one more player to complete your squad.

By the way, do people wanna play a warm-up match before the Cup kicks off?

And how do y'all feel about one group of eight (or more, if others join), with the top 4 reaching the semis?

 

[Shri]

Instead of warmups, just include a few minnow teams to the group stage and have QFs, SFs and the final, maybe?

 

[mr_mister]

I'd love to submit a Zim or Kenyan team for ****s n gigs if anyone isn't opposed to it

 

[harsh.ag]

One warm up game for each side IMO. And one group of 8. 7 games per side instead of the lame 4 team per group schtick.
