Updated Database

[cpr]

To be honest the game tends to be spinner friendly anyway, so mebbie knocking them all down a touch might even it out slightly

 

[Graham]

Yeah - ALL spinners need to be downgraded as their over ability ruins the international game.
If you could fix this 'spinner factor', the international game would be worth playing again!

 

[Blaze]

Yeah I don't know about this problem of players being "lost" from your squad if you drop them - I hadn't noticed it. One for Neil I think

I've played for a couple of seasons at International with NZ and am quite pleased with the sides that the computer selects - except for the fact that James Foster gets into the England team, along with Owais Shah. I really don't know why - apart from this default squads issue.

Another thing, I made Vettori about a 115/116 bowler but he's now a world beater and seems to take 5 wickets every innings - so I'm having a rethink about making spinners this good. I haven't played India in a test yet but they seem pretty unbeatable with both Kumble and Harbhajan!

Is there any chance you could increase Bond's bowling?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Why?

He hasn't played International cricket for two years.

He hasn't proved anything to have his ability bumped up.

Message for KentLad

I was just wondering if i was able to use your database to recreate my ACC database since your 2005 update is current info and stats. I will start editing with it today and if you don't wish me to put it on the forum, that's cool. i understand that. so just asking permission before i complete it and place it in the forum.
Thanks.

 

[KentLad]

No of course you can use it no worries!

As for Shane Bond - I have actually made him quite good - about 110 or so I think so he should be fairly godd already. Think I may knock some of these spinners down a bit then before my next update.

 

[darko21]

thankyou kentlad. only thing is i am using the original database because of the glitches with the other magpie editor so some bowling abilites will be lower than usual.

He hasn't played International cricket for two years.

But it was wrong in the first place when he was playing international cricket and knocking the aussies over

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Yes, two years ago.

He hasn't shown that skill anymore.

 

[Blaze]

Yes, two years ago.

He hasn't shown that skill anymore.

He hasn't had the chance to.

What your basically saying is that he should be deducted bowling ability because he has been injured? Isn't the most accurate thing to go by his form before he was injured?

 

[marc71178]

The Brett Lee effect suggests otherwise.

As for "knocking the Aussies over" - 3 wickets @ 96.33?

 

[Jamee999]

BTW, My story is being played with the 2005 update, so feel free to check out the results in there, KentLad.

The Brett Lee effect? You can't judge him on another players poor comeback

I meant in ODI's marc where I think you will find if you go and dig up some stats his average is astonishing.

22 wickets in 6 games or something?

 

[marc71178]

There's no separate bowling stats though - have to look at it all together.

Well in that case he averages 24 in tests and 19 in ODI's. I found out he averages 10 in ODI's against Aussie.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

Blaze it doesnt matter mayn.. just hold up.. play it over a greater period of time and then see if it has improved.. btw i dont think either that Bond will be back to anywhere like his self as he bowled pre injury,,

Your right.

Only time will tell.

Great, two years ago.

You can't base stats on that, otherwise you do it for everyone.

Ok i don't care anymore but they are the best thing to go by because unlike other players they are the only stats he has got

 

[marc71178]

They have to be toned down until such time as he returns.
