vCash has been sent. For those interested here are the ratings. They are not totally accurate because I did adjust some of the ratings but they should be mostly correct.

Don't use these ratings as the basis for the EPL which I'll be running because they are bound to change depending on recent form.

You don't rate Shaun Marsh? Now come on..

You don't rate Daniel Vettori? Now come on..

Marsh is just a journeyman, and it's a joke that he's playing as an international player.

I'll check out (and probably comment on) the ratings later tonight, got to go out soon.
 
Morgan seems overrated IMO, 39, one off the best, he hasn't done that much has he?
Also maybe Pietersen, I wouldn't have him 1 off the best, over the lats two years he hasn't averaged over 20 in ODI cricket.
There are a few others I'll bring up later.

I never said I don't rate Vettori. I just don't overrate the ████ out of him as you do. A joke that Marsh plays international cricket? What, didn't he do well for you in ICC?

Not a joke that he plays international cricket, a joke that he's an international player, pretty much I'm saying there would be much better international players available, in an 8 team league, with only 7 international players per team.

Just looked through the ratings, and they look pretty good for your first league.

Main thing I noticed was you have a lot of AR's with batting of below 30, anyone under 30 is pretty much unable to play a decent knock.
I mean guys like Razzaq, Afridi, Vettori and Morkel, they're all like 27 and 28, I'd put them all up to at least 30.

In terms of batsmen, just the major ones.
I'd move Morgan down, while Clarke, Yousuf, Collingwood, Yuvraj and White up.

In terms of bowlers, just the major ones.
I don't think Steyn warrants to be out by himself in first.
He's got a very poor ODI record, I know what a good bowler he is, so I'd just leave him on the max with the others.
I'd move Malinga, Nel, McKay and Nanners all down.
And I'd move Kulasekara and Anderson up to the max.
I'd also move Kallis, Watson and Mathews up two, 34 just seems to low for them, especially Watson, his average in ODI cricket has been one of the best going around in the last couple of years. (Under 23 for the last three years)

Anyway that's all I'm going to say, this was very well run like Biggy said, so credit to you Jono.
 
I don't know, I just don't rate him as one of the best OD bowlers.
E/R of 5 just puts me off him.
I would maybe rate him with the best now after what he's done this year, but in 08 and 09 he was a disaster.
 
btw I think I did move Steyn back to 28 with everyone else
 
Chewie, you've done a great job on the ratings.
 
CHAMPION'S LEAGUE 4

Alright, things are finally moving. Here's what still needs to be done

-Finish player ratings (92/144 completed)
-Test player ratings
-Clean up presentation on first post
-Post groups and squads

It shouldn't take all that long to get all that done. Should hopefully be finished by tomorrow night and should start early next week. I'll be posting invites to the SG as soon as all managers are confirmed.
