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

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

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.

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.

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.

Reliance on your 5th bowler is dependent on the strength of your main attack. Ian Bell probably isn't a great option, however you might get lucky and your bowling attack fires.

A number of teams got by last season using only part-timers in support. I used North and White who took only 9 wickets between them. Howe used Mathews and de Bruyn who managed only 9 for the season.

I don't think I'm ever going to have to worry about bowling options, what with Hussey/Bopara/Sewhag providing more than passable part time options.

Hoping I should be alright with Stokes at 6. If he doesn't Perform I may be a little shoot though.
