Updated Database

I've made Rudolph soly a batsmen already and he shouldn't be a world-beater with his leggies any more!

Most of the sub-continent bowlers have been worsened - though I think I may need to take Danish Kaneria down a few as he cleans up for Essex when you play a county game!

Might need to improve Craig Cumming a bit then. Whatever happened to Bell?? He's still currently quite good in the game and gets in the side when the computer selects it.

I'll leave Tresco as a part-time keeper cos he has done the job for England in a few one-dayers. Tremlett's been improved and is on the fringe of the national side - Thorpe has stayed about the same - he should get in the team but I think the 220 or whatever was a bit of a freak score!

Bell was one of the many NZ players who rocks at domestic but sucks at International.


Can you please increase Vettori and Bond in the bowling and give Oram a boost in both batting and bowling. Also Hamish Marshall needs a big boost. Is there anyway to make Vettori and Marshall not defensive bats?

Ok, I'll make Langer a non-keeper and adjust the Kiwis accordingly.

Incidentally, do you know if the following players have retired:

Geoff Allott, Grant Bradburn, Carl Bulfin, Mark Douglas, Simon Doull, Chris Drum, Lee Germon, Matt Horne, Greg Loveridge, Andrew Penn, Blair Pocock, Roger Twose, Jason Wells and Warren Wisneski.

Trying to update the NZ database, and introduce players like HOw, Ryder, Parlane, Nicol, Taylor, Broom, Yovich and Aldridge.

Cheers.

I just wondered... is it possible to change Hampshire's ground to the Rose Bowl?

Apologies if it has already been discussed and i haven't seen it - and a big thank you for the great job you've done so far. :D

All retired apart from Horne. There are two parlanes and I am not sure if James Marshall is in the game either. Brendan McCullum should also be added. As should Jeff Wilson

And to the guy who wrote the editor, obviously... :)

Update for everyone - I finish exams tomorrow, so I'm going to try to sort out the player histories and contracts bugs.

Kent Land - I played a season as NZ and these are the stats from that season. From this I suggest that Bond's bowling is increased (before he got injured he was arguably the best One Day bowler in the world) and that dan Vettori's bowling is increased slightly. Styris is virtually a specialist batsman these days and his batting should be increased. As should Cairns's and Orams.

I beat Sri Lanka and the West Indies in the World Cup and then had Kenya and Bangladesh both score over 260 against me and beat me. IMO all the bowlers apart from Cairns should have their bowling increased and Franklin should have his batting increased as he is almost an all rounder. Same with Vettori who has averaged about 35 with the bat since 2002.

In tests all the bowlers struggle to take wickets other than Cairns.

These are just suggestions.. take a look at the screens and make your own judgements.

Horne is the only one left.

Ah bwah ah? He`s been bowling awesomely of recent, bowled well in the one-dayer `gainst Australia and I think he`s doing quite well on the county circuit.

To be fair Blaze, with only 2 Tests and a handful of ODI's it's hard to make any real judgement on players.

It's better than nothing and you can get an overall feel for it.. especially with the bowlers

Out of interest, who are those Tests against?
When you start a NZ game it goes

India (ODIs,Tests) WC then West Indies

So India Or West Indies.

Right then, I think it is possible to change ground names, so I'll have a stab at changing Hants to Rose Bowl - may even be able to get a pic of it...

I'm fairly happy with the NZ skills - I think maybe you need to test it over a longer period - think I may need to increase Styris' batting a bit though.

I've taken out all retired NZ players now and added in some youngsters. Will now add Michael Parlane - Neal's already been put in.

Well when you release it I will test it for a year (with NZ) and post screens for you

Latest Update

Please find attached my latest update.

It incorporates several new players (especially for NZ), as well as all database changes that have been recommended.

I've changed Hampshire's ground to the Rose Bowl - but think getting a picture of the ground into the game may prove tricky for me - does anyone have knowledge of photoshop or the like??
