Nah he needs Blackwell to be fifth bowler. I'd play Blackwell.

does the sim factor in having specialist openers?
Does an ordinary test record have too much of an effect on a player's performance?

maybe i should play kohli in place of one of the openers?

Not playing a specialist opener makes an enormous difference.

My experience of the sim is that you'd be as well having Chris Martin opening the batting if you're going to put a non-opener there.

OMGGGGGGGG
Mckenzie's not a specialist opener according to prince's search engine


I need an opener!!! Will have to trade!!

Haha it's not quite that bad at all in my experience, particularly if the batsman's preferred position is down at #3 (which McKenzie's is in the database).

Really? Is that where he's batted most of his FC career?

Surprised tstl, was thinking of picking him as backup opener myself.

Yeah South Africa made him into an opener.

Ok, I exaggerated a little, but I've seen teams have their best batsman average single digits opening because he was a number 5 or 6 batsman.

Yeah, ITC loves its openers. I've actually found that batting an opener at #3 works pretty well too.

Ian Blackwell in Cricsim Second Class (A considerably lower standard of competition than CWCPL).

4 matches, 114 runs at 16.29 and 9 wickets at 46.22.

He is going to get destroyed in this.

He is better than what he's shown though. Just in poor CPL form.

[Cevno]

Kohli second highest run getter though so far.

Is playing 4 bowlers alright in your sim?

Not recommended.

Not recommended.

in reality it's alright though.

I do it all the time. My attack is awesome though.
