English Premier League VIII | Round 13

[Chewie]

If ever there was a thing to put me off running or starting up another league, it would be the ratings.

It's rather annoying for me because I have to use a windows xp emulator on my macbook rather than my desktop computer because cricsim doesn't work on my desktop :/

Chewie added 5 Minutes and 19 Seconds later...

Viral, Niall O'Brien has already been selected

Chewie added 2 Minutes and 40 Seconds later...

Akshay, Andrew Gale has already been selected

It's rather annoying for me because I have to use a windows xp emulator on my macbook rather than my desktop computer because cricsim doesn't work on my desktop :/

yeah, the program is DOS based wasn't made for windows vista/7. The strange thing is that the one day version works fine for me but with the test version i can only play one match before it stops working.

Viral and Akshay to make one more pick to end the draft

Chewie added 1 Minutes and 10 Seconds later...

Also, Varun needs to name a captain and coach, Dipak needs to name a coach, Akshay needs to name a coach and captain and bcvs needs to name a captain

 

[Iridium]

yeah, the program is DOS based wasn't made for windows vista/7. The strange thing is that the one day version works fine for me but with the test version i can only play one match before it stops working.

Yea, I just built a new computer which has Win 7 64-bit so I'm having to switch back and forth between it and my old XP machine to run cricksim.

 

[Chewie]

Once Viral and Akshay have redone their pick you may make free agent trades or trade between teams. I will only allow trades between teams if they seem fair enough.

There are a number of domestic players who have international experience that haven't been picked yet as well.

 

[CG123]

It's because they have so many kolpaks, plus the Scots/Irish, hence all the international experience.

 

[Biggy]

The Kolpaks Premier League is almost underway.

 

[Chewie]

Callum's doubled the number of Caucasian Englishmen in his squad with his pick of Foster.

 

[CG123]

I could play:
(No English players)

1. Neil McKenzie
2. William Porterfield
3. Hamish Marshall
4. Michael Clarke
5. Ross Taylor
6. Mahendra Singh Dhoni
7. Shahid Afridi
8. Azhar Mahmood
9. Andre Nel
10. Corey Collymore
11. Pedro Collins

In fact I have more New Zealanders (five) than I do English players (four).

[Sartaj]

Trescothick's the skipper.
I'm fine with the choice of Andy Flower as the coach though i'd have preferred Stephen Fleming.

 

[Chewie]

Callum always has Fleming as his coach

 

[hedger_14]

I always have Waugh as my coach.

 

[Chewie]

Except in the APL

 

[hedger_14]

Oh really, better change that then

I'll change that, I always choose Steve Waugh as my coach. In the APL, i didn't choose him as my coach.
