Draft time: World Cup history - ALL FINISHED!!

[ZoraxDoom]

I dunnow, I always liked TC, felt it was more apt than Cricsim. What did you find wrong with it?

 

[Gaurav_7]

Nothing wrong but, nothing right too if we compare both. It acts same as CS instead of averages it uses SR and Eco for bowlers which has nearly same effect. It uses averages for batsmen. Same as CS. Plus, takes more time to get everything done.

what's the sim?

Pffffttt don't be so lazy! I prefer strike rate and eco to just bowling average; works better in cases of 40ish averages but economies of 4 and a bit.

Thought it had SR tho, I was wrong.

It is Total Cricket which can be found by searching on google. Don't want to hijack this thread with all this but, if Sifter feels and if Chewie wants to do the matches, we can have a league.

It also can work other way round. Not always an economical bowler has a good day. On some odd day, he can also get smacked. This is why I like CS. There is not a pattern in it. We can get different results.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

CS does have a patter tho: high averages = high economy. In my experience TC is more random, but usually more accurate.

Meh, doesn't make much of a difference. I'm gonna win either way.

 

[Gaurav_7]

high averages = high economy

Agree with that. That is why we can set a limit of what averages we will use for batsmen and bowlers. Like a range. Then we can have fair results. I'm not even bothered about what you said in the second line.

 

[Chewie]

Well it won't really be a league. Just a series of round robin matches.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Yeah, yeah that itself.

 

[AngryPixel]

I think i should post my pick as Akshay has lost his chance

----------

My Pick is : "Allan Donald"... Writeup later as I'm down with cough and cold.

AngryPixel's WC XI

1. Sachin Tendulkar
2. Sanath Jayasuriya
3. Mark Waugh
4. Andy Flower(WK)
5. Scott Styris
6.
7. Ryan Ten Doeschate
8. Andrew Flintoff
9. Wasim Akram
10.Joel Garner
11.Allan Donald

So i have full pace attack and the spin would be bowled by Sanath and Sachin

 

[AkshayS]

cricket, late by 28 minutes.
Can I post my pick now or I'll have to wait till next round.

 

[AngryPixel]

You were after Donald Don't worry, there is another saffer who you can pick. He's just like pigeon, but he can bat too

 

[Papa_Smurf]

Ssshh angry - someone else may have their eye on him

----------

This simming thing is a new concept to me. Would anyone mind explaining to me how it's done?

If it can be done, either by Chewie (thanks ), User or Zorax or anyone, that would be brilliant. We could post the results here and make a round-robin table - 2 pts for win, 1 pt for tie etc.... After we've played each other once, the top 2 could go for the final.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Spinach!

 

[AngryPixel]

I think Chewie would be best choice as he would be neutral and unbiased
