9)Praveen Kumar (1)
10)Brent Arnel (3)

hmm good point, don't have the new db yet.

probably not a good idea to go with last season's, especially for you because you have three of the most ridiculously hax bats in the last season db so that might skew things when we move to the new db

[Cevno]

Yeah, was surprised that Pews had sent it so quickly.

Edit - Agree with the second part too. Wouldn't do much benefit in terms of trying out players if done with last season's database. Some players might not exist in it too.

[Johnners]

A lot of the database stuff is done automatically by the software I've created. I just have to put the players in the right teams, then enter their bowling styles and preferred batting positions. But as I said it'd be updated after the draft was over he can't actually have it yet, as there's an ongoing Test. I'll do all that when the Test is over.

Struggling for seam options there?

[Noble One]

If Mendis dominates this season I will fume.

Nah, I'm resting Gul and Morkel as I think they're certainties to play in the first match.

[Noble One]

Nah, I'm resting Gul and Morkel as I think they're certainties to play in the first match.

I worry for your bowling attack if Gul is first choice. 11 wickets @ 67.36 in Season 1.

tbh I'm more worried about Edwards than him. Should at least be a good support bowler. Who was he playing for?

My only worry is that I don't have a good 5th bowler.
