Updated Database

[glennwatkin]

Gary Yates is rated too good as he gets picked ahead of Gary Keedy arguably the best English spinner

 

[KentLad]

Ok, I'll knock Yates down a notch or two.

Does anyone know anything about this Jason Krejza character playing for Derbyshire today against the Aussies?

Has he been signed to replace Moss? Or just a one-off cos its the Aussies they're playing?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Jason Krejza is an Aussie.

Plays for NSW in the Pura Cup.

Not sure why he is batting at four, a bowling all rounder, off spin.

Maybe it's because he is playing for Leicestershire not Derbyshire... it's Leics vs. Aus atm.

 

[KentLad]

Fair point - my mistake! Do you know if he's signed for Leicestershire then? Or just a one-off?

 

[chooka_nick]

Not sure Kentlad, but he's turning out to be quite the allrounder, he had a decent season for NSW

 

[glennwatkin]

Also why isn't Harbhjan Singh at Surrey ?

 

[KentLad]

erm...he is - or at least he should be according to the database!

 

[glennwatkin]

K must be me then. I'm using update 6.

Also I've noticed a few things that could be altered.

Trevor Penney - Wkt keeper

R Clinton (Surrey) is an opener but bats at 6/7 in game

Also S Das regularly plays for India and he's not a regular in their squads

 

[KentLad]

Yeah I think Harbhajan is at Surrey but is away on International Duty all season and therefore is not available.

Can't do much about Clinton being picked to bat at 6, or about Das getting picked for India, but I will make Penney a part-time keeper.

You've done a great job, Kentlad. What do you think about the following changes?


Michael Powell (Glamorgan) isn't an opener - they've got this wrong, not you
Chris Tremlett - aggressive
Darren Maddy - aggressive
Jeremy Snape - aggressive
Graeme Swann - aggressive
Jayasuriya - aggressive
Graeme Smith - aggressive (don't have to change, is rather attacking anyway)
Ian Blackwell - very aggressive
Rikki Clarke - aggressive
James Benning - aggressive (opener? i know he's all-rounder)
Martin Bicknell - aggressive
Anthony McGrath - all-rounder
Paul Collingwood - all-rounder
Tim Bresnan - aggressive
Scott Styris - very aggressive

 

[glennwatkin]

Benning opens in OD cricket for Surrey

 

[KentLad]

Well here is my final update before ICC 2005 comes out. Here's hoping the data in that game is accurate!

 

[KentLad]

Ok I lied! This has just a few changes to the previous one - some England Under 19 players included, along with Krejza and Allenby - Aussies who've been playing for Leics.

 

[Pea Roller]

Just wanna say thanks for the udates and all the hard work. There's a long time for the new game to come out when the ashes starts on thursday and this should abate the excitement

 

[Fevs]

Just been reading all 15 pages of this thread, and made me order ICC2002 for £2.99!! Really interesting read.

Does the update include missing histories as you've updated the ages?

Great work from what I've read.

 

[KentLad]

Afraid I haven't updated player histories - mainly because this not only takes ages (seriously about 15 mins/player!) but also because it seems to cause errors within Magpie.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Just a quick one..... you still don't have Stuart Law set as English, which he is now.....

 

[KentLad]

Yeah...this is a difficult one - if you make him English he always gets in the one-day squad and sometimes the test team, so I decided not to. I guess I should change him though.

 

[glennwatkin]

Grant Flower also gets into the England squad
