Relax bro, I never said you were being personal here. Its just that the concept lacks consistency if you award players to particular decade like that.

Yes, I am aware I am not being consistent. For the record, TBP has allowed Gavaskar to join the 80s squad

Are injuries included Jimmy? And are the squads 14 or 15?

 

[honestbharani]

Yes, we now have 13 players. Let's cap this off at 14, need one more player.

Any takers?... Harsh, Stephen, Marc?

HB, you can choose between the following options

- Best of the rest pre-1970
- Best of the rest post-1970

The 14th and final entrant can have the other option.

I will go post 1970 mate. At least I ll have seen some of the players and maybe can select some personal favorites.

 

[honestbharani]

And KK, make up your mind, lol. I need to swoop in on the ones you are leaving out.

Please tell me you are joking with Hall in the reserves.

 

[Grumpy]

Please tell me you are joking with Hall in the reserves.

You think he should be in the XI? Nah, Roy with his beamers should be enough

Dude Hall is easily the best pacer in your squad. Plus your bowling attack needs him badly to say the least.

 

[kingkallis]

Ditch Qadir and bring in Botham/Crowe. Imran to 7.

Harsh, wont I need a spinner?

His entire bowling attack says how serious is Grumpy. hahaha! He is aiming for DRAWS. haha!

 

[harsh.ag]

Eh. You have a killer attack already. Shore up your batting. Imran at 6 and is a bit weak. Just go with Crowe at 4/5 (or Botham at 6 if you really want a 5 man attack). Border can bowl some spin.

We'll see who will be laughing when your helmet-less bunch are facing my skipper after being being exhausted from fielding for 3 days.

I realised as I began sort through the players game that there are far too many big names missing from the game (especially pre-WW2) for this to work. Therefore, I have included some invented players in the above list that I will assign values for based on their FC record, whilst using existing player values as reference points. Apologies if there are errors in this list, and if anybody wants to query me on a player in regards to their respective decade, or want to ask me about players who aren't on the list, fire away.

For the 1800s, can I request at least a couple of Arthur Shrewsbury, Tom Hayward, Bobby Abel and Billy Murdoch? Otherwise I'll have a squad packed with all-rounders and bowlers.

Wow, great job on the statistics Nate!

I have a disease.

Definitely yes, the 1800's team are going to need all the batting power they can get.

Feel free to throw down some stats for the upcoming tournament.
