Beach Cricket Competition

[Jamee999]

Hi would any one like to take part in a competititon using the full version of Beach Cricket 2002.

Basicly you can name a squad (the power of Data editing )

And then pick a team of 5 and post some orders eg.

England

Top batsmen(name) 15
Second batsmen 20
and so on
AND

upto first wicket 15
upto second wicket 20

and so on

If you want a team just post with this is my real one

Coach/whatever positon you want

country:

and any questions you want to ask

[Samuel_Vimes]

Good idea there mate - I suppose we must use players that are in the game, with their statistics? However, my orders could be quite complicated - I want to win, after all. Alternatively, we could just let the AI sim the games, but that would be rather boring.

So my team:

Commander Sam Vimes

Country: Australia (AFAIK you can't change the name of a country)

M Trescothick
AC Gilchrist
J Kallis
Wasim Akram
M Muralitharan

Based mainly on experience with the game.

You're right there. Don't even try hex-editing it either, you'll break it as there's a lot of knock on due to badly written old code.

The non-test playering nations and Bangladesh could have a test player who doesnt make the squad of 10 in there squad

More entrys plz No i cant change the so its 1st come 1st surved for the good teams

[Samuel_Vimes]

OK, I get it. We have to have players that are in the game, right?

Country: Pakistan

Inzamam-ul-Haq
Rashid Latif
Abdul Razzaq
Waqar Younis
Wasim Akram

That squad should beat most teams in the world, especially if Australia gets themselves out early...

Do you want my really complicated orders too?

[Jamee999]

If win the toss, bat.

Warning! Long orders!

Batting orders when batting first:

Inzamam 10 for the first 5 balls, then 20 for the rest of the innings.

If Inzamam goes with the first 24 balls, Rashid starts at 8, increases by 1 for every 3 balls he faces (8 for balls 1-3, then 9 for balls 4-6, then 10 after 6 balls and so on).

If Inzamam goes after 24 balls, Rashid starts at 12, increases by 1 for every 2 balls he faces.

If Inzamam and Rashid are both gone with the first 32 balls, Razzaq starts at 4 and increases by 1 for every 6 balls he faces.

If Inzamam and Rashid goes in between 32-56 balls , Razzaq starts at 8 and increases by 1 for every 4 balls he faces.

If Inzamam and Rashid are gone after 56 balls, Razzaq starts at 12 and increases by 1 for every 3 balls he faces.

Both Waqar and Wasim have aggression 20 if come in with 16 balls to spare, otherwise aggression 6.

Bowling orders when batting first:

If England are chasing 140 or less, aggression 18.

If England are chasing 140-160, aggression 13.

If England are chasing 160-180, aggression 7.

If England are chasing 180-200, aggression 1.

If strike rate is less than required strike rate, increase aggression by 1 point for each 8 balls.

If 2 wickets are down with more than 40 balls left, aggression is 20 (no matter what stated above).

If 3 wickets are down with more than 24 balls left, aggression is 20 (no matter what stated above).

If 4 wickets are down, aggression is 20.

Bowling orders when bowling first:

If rainy, aggression is 20. Decrease by 1 for each ball if no wicket is taken after 16 balls.

If sunny, aggression is 1 (after 24 balls).

If 2 wickets are down with more than 40 balls left, aggression is 20 (no matter what stated above).

If 3 wickets are down with more than 24 balls left, aggression is 20 (no matter what stated above).

If chasing 120-140, aggression is 5.

If chasing 140-160, aggression is 11.

If chasing 160-180, aggression is 16.

If chasing 180 or more, aggression is 20.

If Inzamam has been in for more than 12 balls, increase his aggression by 1 for each ball.

Think that's it - it's probably way too complicated, but still
