Test Cricketer Research: Can You Help?!

Guys

I posted on here a few weeks back asking if anyone would be interested in helping me research test cricketer profiles as part of a new test cricket simulation I am helping produce. A few of you said you were willing to help, so I have uploaded a spreadsheet of current test players to Google Drive and hopefully if you follow the link you can edit the sheet. I realise not every player can be covered but any help would be greatly appreciated. This link is just for the current players but I also have 1980 onwards to do so if anyone has a speciality in any other eras I can easily upload different sheets.

Really looking for basic batting style (in the game the likes of Botham/Gilchrist etc are classed as BRUTE whereas Border/Gavaskar are GRITTY/DEFENSIVE and the likes of Kohli, Lara etc are CLASSIC). Bowling is general style, swing bowler, bouncy, agressive, maybe inswing specialist, slower ball, googlies, flippers etc, and fielding is generally if they they have a specialist position.

Really appreciate any help. Here's the link to the sheet and I've also uploaded the latest screen shot for the game. Generally, you can replay any test series in history, or make up your own teams and series. All test players are covered and the action is brought to life by thousands of lines of commentary rather than random graphics. Please note, this is a test screen so not all elements are complete. Either way I will keep you posted of release details and before anyone asks, no I am not being paid for any of this, simply helping the programmer after years of begging him to make the program!!

Nothing, they are the same. I just used gritty as a way of describing defensive batsmen, dravid, etc

OK, well which era or eras do you specialise in? I'll probably send you a different sheet to the one I shared here, you just have to put numbers and y or n into columns so it's more logical and easier for the programmer to import.

Good point about Peter Siddle, he made his debut in 08 ish I think, so he will be on the previous decade sheet.

Is it possible to save in an easily editable format somewhere? Currently the way it works is I have to download and send again...
