Yeah. Big call to leave out Papps, but he's been a bit slow despite scoring well. Also I want to see if Horne can bring his test form into the ODI arena.thewizard1o1 said:Pappsthe guy has top scored in each match...oh well get him to fire Horne up a bit before he goes out to bat...

How many of you have looked at the NZ players stats in ICC2005?Somerset said:
My experience with the ICC series says that you're best to trust the game stats rather than go with players just because they're test players in real life.
I'd also be interested to see how others have fared with NZ (honest replies only without any cheating involved!)

I played the Zimbabwe test and ODI series and played a similar side to New Zealand's current real life side - Oram was easily the best with three tons while Tuffey and Bond led the bowling attack with particular success.Graham said:How many of you have looked at the NZ players stats in ICC2005?

I thrashed Zimbabwe picking players from the same squad in real life. In ICC all players are given a batting and bowling ability stat so you shouldn't just pick on their past records..
If the players have been given an ability stat, is that new to ICC2005? Haven't noticed it with any previous ICC games.Blaze said:
I'm pleased to hear you're both having more success with NZ than I am. Hopefully some of that success will come for me soon!
How did you both fare in South Africa?

No it was def in 2002 cause KentLand made an updated database for it which is much more accurate than ICC2005 actually.Graham said:If the players have been given an ability stat, is that new to ICC2005? Haven't noticed it with any previous ICC games.

No offence mate but you are going to get slaughted with the line up you currently have. Players averages at the start of the game have little relevance to how they will go in the game because each and every player has ability stats AFAIK
No offence taken. This is just a bit of fun!Blaze said:
I've never seen any mention anywhere of any hidden ability stat, but you could well be right. Otherwise how would Zimbabwean players like A.Maungwa overcome a fist class average in single figures to perform so well in the game.
Tell you what I do though. I take notice of the current season stats and last season stats in combination with career stats, especially after the first two seasons! Everything irons itself out in the end!

I take notice of current season stats as well. They are usually good indicators and I might throw someone in the side if they are in good form

Not so good, I was 290/6 chasing 480 in the first test against Zimbabwe, when I decided I should wait for the database patch. Stopping the game had NOTHING to do with the situation of that test match...Graham said:I'd also be interested to see how others have fared with NZ (honest replies only without any cheating involved!)
Doing a bit better with England at the moment though.

Not suggesting that others aren't by the way! Good to hear from you Ed. Just as a matter of interest, can you remember who you had in your test side?
