ICC Sim League VI

[kingkallis]

Since there's that - I'd have Parnel out & Morkel in, Shamsi out & Donald in.

You dont need a spinner? You already have Donald, Pollock, Rabada, Klusener. Go with Tahir.

Don't rate him, SA nearly went to 2 WC finals on the back of their pacers. They're good on all surfaces & I doubt he'd be missed on anything but the most diabolical turners.

One change in the Zimbabwe squad, now I know that performances before 1999 are considered:

Alistair Campbell
Neil Johnson
Brendan Taylor
Andy Flower+
Sean Williams
Sikandar Raza
Heath Streak
Elton Chigumbura
Paul Strang
Ray Price
Tawanda Mupariwa

Hamilton Masakadza
Grant Flower
Henry Olonga
Andy Blignaut

 

[Shri]

The linking aggression feature finally seems to work. Just won against some dude in an online game. Played Rabada and Steyn cautiously in an ODI and absolutely hammered Morris, Tahir and someone else. Shreyas Iyer was 145* and I got 350. Won by about 200 runs.

This is CC 17 or 18?

 

[Shri]

18

I'll be back to check the thread in a few hours. If Marcuss is still MIA by then, KK can have NZ, I'll manage Afghanistan, & we'll get this show on the road.

 

[Shri]

i just sent him a reminder

 

[Shri]

Virender Sehwag
Rohit Sharma
Virat Kohli
Sachin Tendulkar
MS Dhoni C/Wk
Yuvraj Singh
Kuldeep Yadav
Anil Kumble
Mohd Shami
Yuzi Chahal
Jasprit Bumrah

Shreyas Iyer
Ravi Ashwin
Zaheer Khan
Javagal Srinath

Updated again.

 

[cnerd123]

Shri's going to win this

He's been playing this game obsessively, he literally knows the strongest possible squad to pick

 

[Shri]

No, SA probably will. Or Aus.

 

[Shri]

Marcuss will finalize the squad in about 3 hours or so.

 

[mr_mister]

playing Mark Waugh seems counterproductive to my chances despite his reputation as an ODI legend, Warner crushes him with batting avg and strike rate.


But I just can't bring myself to leave him out

 

[jimmy101]

No, SA probably will. Or Aus.

Depends if CC '18 is any good at simming choking/cheating tbh.

 

[ImpatientLime]

the match engine on the last couple of editions is vastly superior to the old 2013 you were using jimmy.

 

[mr_mister]

In what way? higher strike rates? Less scrub players randomly playing out of their skin?

If thats the case then this Sim will be fun.

 

[jimmy101]

So does anyone want to manage Afghanistan?

 

[jimmy101]

How long should we continue to wait for Marcuss?

 

[jimmy101]

In the interests of getting this underway, I'm going to throw NZ open to whoever posts first out of Marcuss & kingkallis. Afghanistan are of course still free, if anyone wants them feel free to snap them up.

There will be no trial matches this time around, so everyone can post their starting XI for Round 1 at their leisure.
