Neil, as your not on MSN, I'm gonna recode the generator slightly as there aren't enough decent part timers being generated (batsmen) and the bowlers are all rabbits.

Yeah me too. The only problem is that the bowlers are continually carted. That's about it though, other than that all is well.

Actually yes, I'be been meaning to ask Neil what are the 'normal' pitch settings? Aka which settings would be the closest to everyday cricketing life?Neil Pickup said:

That was one of the general ideas of releasing this version; so people could play with it and find out.
I'm not sure. 35?

Just looking at the thread - a very minor thing you might want to look into is getting fielder and bowler in seperate columns for batting scorecards.
Right now it's...
You might want to adjust this if you haven't already, so it displays as
If this has already been done, feel free to ignore this post.
Right now it's...

Also, I found this amusing.
0.1 B Lee to ME Trescothick, no run, outside off, slightly full, sets himself to strike the ball with fury, flicks it away, batsmen look to keep the scoreboard moving, but they have no luck
I wasn't aware you could "keep the scoreboard moving" at 0/0

Aye, but it might be an idea to not allow single over games. I think two overs should be minimum, so you can at least have two players bat & bowl in an effectively 2-a-side game (sort of like whatever it's called in BLIC).
I hope to give it a more thorough look later on. Oddly enough, the only downside I can think of right now is that it could be seen as a bit too complex for CW Dev League, now that it's a case of "set aggression to 78% for Joe Bloggs" or something like that But I'm sure the simmers and the captains will get the hang of it eventually.

The player editor allows people to type into the drop down menus (Batting/Bowling) and update without typing in a valid selection. I've no idea how this would affect the game, but it's probably worth changing to be on the safe side. Although making a player bowl "Pies" and bat "Ambidextrous" might be interesting.
EDIT: Seems that after you update, go away and then return to the player page it has the fields left blank. Should there not be a default option? Either that, or it should be set so that a player can't be selected to play if he doesn't have a functionable field selected.

I can see the good and bad sides of having all players in a list... to solve this problem, would it be possible to have a drop down menu within the players area with squad names, including a "No Squad" field so that people can adjust squads easier. This would be very handy as I'm sure the db will end up involving hundreds of players.imagine said:
