ICC Sim League VI

[jimmy101]

What with the game's devs having done such a great job at buffing the ATG mode in Cricket Captain 2018, I thought it was nigh time I dusted off the old sim league and ran a new edition for the latest version of the game.

This time I'll be running an ODI tournament open to players from the last 20 years of ODI cricket (1999 - 2018). As it is, there in no in-game editor for the game out yet, so we'll be restricted to using the database in its current form.

There are 12 teams up for grabs:

Afghanistan
Australia
Bangladesh
England
India
Ireland
New Zealand
Pakistan
South Africa
Sri Lanka
West Indies
Zimbabwe

If you wish to join, simply post which team you would like to manage, & when ready, post your squad of 15. Eligible players must have played ODI cricket for their respective country sometime during 1999 - 2018. This will operate on a first come, first served basis.

The tournament itself will feature all twelve teams competing in a singular round-robin group stage, with the top four sides progressing to the finals. Each team's home matches will be played in their respective home nations, so picking a squad for all conditions is considered vital.

Let the games begin...

Ashwin, Bhajji, Dravid and Nehra out for Irfan Pathan, Mishra (or Kuldeep if the sim is updated), Dhawan and Shami.

Also Rohit can't bat so low, his career was a joke before he batted up the order.

 

[Shri]

Dravid is the reserve keeper.
Ashwin can bat a bit.
Mishra? Would rather pick Jaddu.
Dhawan? Gambhir maybe.
Shami is Zak light and worse than the other option.

Rohit could open with Sehwag and push Sachin to 4 si yeah that's a good idea.

 

[mr_mister]

iirc jimmy doesn't have injuries in thise mode so you dont need a reserve keeper.

Shami is way better than Nehra. Forgot WC 15 already?

Mishra was more of a sim punt. Dude has very good stats.

Yeah this is correct. Things such as injuries and form will be non-existent in this comp.

 

[jimmy101]

Haha, you can be an honorary Saffer for this comp then :-)

Glad to see some of the regulars returning for another tournament. Will leave this open for a little while yet. We have 7 entrants so far, looking for at least 8 - 10. I might end up managing one of the lesser nations myself to make up the numbers should we need it.
