Just i couple questions about the type of players that some of the guys i have been assigned. I don't think i've every seen a scorecard where Jim Troughton has batted at the top of the order his always batted in the middle order. JR Madanagopal i always thought was a middle order batsmen (3-5), i don't think he is a lower order batsmen. Iraan Khan generally opens the batting for his franshise side in South Africa, but his listed as middle order. It probably doesn't make a huge difference but still?

Simon in Lancashires first class stats, Mongia is listed as having SR of 45 which agrees with the stats from before but he is listed as an economy rate of 3.53 (which is the same as Munir the player below him) when in the updated player stats from before he has an ER of 2.32. Is this a typo? It makes quite a difference.

From what I've been told, the first XI managers pick their XI from the 25 players in the squad and the rest are available to the 2nd XI managers. Not sure if the first XI managers pick 12, that would seem silly given that it is unlikely a player is going to be injured between the naming of squads and simualation.bugssy said:

Blewy, I'm just wondering why 2nd XI matches count towards averages? It's a lower standard and people could just put good players in the 2nd XI to boost their average up.

So you can get the sack for losing games now? You've been talking to John Howard haven't you?...Blewy said:
I think Robertinh has a point. If yourfirst team is out of contention, what is to stop managers from dumping their good players into the 2nd side for them to win the comp?
If we're going to have averages for 2nd XI team, maybe there should be some kind of match minimum that players have to have before they are allowed to play for the 2nds after a certain round and clubs found to have breached this rule their managers face the sack and or loss of competition points/trophies. Managers would have to apply to the board directly to have players play for the 2nd side after the nominated round.

No actually, I think it is a very smart idea. Who says you need to put all your best players in the 2nd XI for every game? Play a couple in the 2nds every so often, get some big scores, some good bowling spells, give your team a massive boost for next season.Blewy said:
If anything, all it does is make 1st XI games mean less. Not a good idea IMO.

I can't see any manager who is serious about keeping their 1st XI spot using that tactic and running the risk of losing 1st XI matches and maybe even their job. Really for a significant boost to a players average they have to play the whole the season. One or two games here and there wont achieve much.Robertinho said:
