Oh, Crap just saw that I hadnt posted the complete scorecard in the SL-WI game. I am really sorry guys about that, as the scorecard is deleted completely :facepalm
If you guys want it badly, then I'd recommend looking at the Commentary file it does have the scores and all, but you will have to find them. I would have done it myself, but have to go now :doh

Sorry Again
 
WOW I know the WI arent great in real life but this is something special. They don't suck this much dude.
 
Oh yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!
I knew we were the better team.
That's why Collingwood issued the challenge which Ponting accepted (we knew he would for he likes challenges).
Now then...now then...all of a sudden,its 1-1 after the 4th test.
Bring it on you Aussies,we'll see who'll have the last laugh ;););)

Paul Collingwood feels that Ricky Ponting is just a shadow of the player he used to be.
This is what he had to say in the post match press conference:


I know how to intimidate Punter.He's not that good anymore.
I dare him to give us another poor pitch and stop abusing our players when they bat.Winners don't play it dirty.

Man of the match: Mohammed Yousef

WOW I know the WI arent great in real life but this is something special. They don't suck this much dude.

Man, Its not upto me to decide who wins the game. :( Its not something personal or anything. This was probably one of the greatest comebacks I have seen, TBH

Well what are the player abilities determined on. WI should not have been dominated that badly by New Zealand, the difference between the teams isnt that great and WI have the better batsman without a doubt. So either WI players are underrated and the ratings are way off, or some of the other teams are way too good.

Lol, this is the WI you're talking about.
New Zealand are a much better side than them in both F50 and tests.
Gayle, Canderpaul and... (no one else)

Gayle, Chanderpaul, Sarwan, Bravo. Name anybody on the NZ team that is a better test batsman then Chanders and Sarwan. Name anybody that is a better ODI batsman then Sarwan, Chanders and Gayle.

Bravo??? Would hardly call him a good batsmen.

Yes Sarwan is a good batsmen, forgot about him.

Taylor's had a test match average of 55.85 in 2009... :D
Ryder had a test match average of 50.44 in 2009... :)
Vettori had a test match average of 59.92 in 2009... :hpraise

Guptill had an ODI average of 41.00 in 2009, and was named in the 2009 ICC world ODI team. That is higher than Gayle's...

Chanderpaul averaged just 35.84 in 2009, in tests.

On current form NZ is a much better team, also half your A team is injured in real life...
 
Bravo??? Would hardly call him a good batsmen.
No but Bravo is one of the best all rounders around and just had a great series against the Aussies as he always does.



Taylor's had a test match average of 55.85 in 2009... :D
Your point? Sarwan averaged 60 in 2009 with 4 centuries and 1 half century..

Ryder had a test match average of 50.44 in 2009... :)
In what not even a handful of tests. Chanderpaul averages 52 this decade. Arguably one of the top batsman over the past few years.

Vettori had a test match average of 59.92 in 2009... :hpraise
Chris Gayle 49 with 4 centuries and 1 half century.

Guptill had an ODI average of 41.00 in 2009, and was named in the 2009 ICC world ODI team. That is higher than Gayle's...
And that makes him a better ODI batsman then Gayle how? Gayle averages 39 in 200+ ODIs, Guptill is a noob. Gayle averaged 2 points less then Guptill and in 6 less innings was less then 200 runs behind Guptill.
Chanderpaul averaged 59 in ODI cricket in 2009...
Chanderpaul averaged just 35.84 in 2009, in tests.
And he is still a better batsman then anyone on the NZ team.

On current form NZ is a much better team, also half your A team is injured in real life...
What form? NZ against Pakistan and WI against Australia and still gave them a run for their money in tests.
 
You don't need to stand up for them, NZ is a slightly better team than the WI in RL, which is why WI is 8th in both tests and ODI's.

WI have a lot of talent there, but with about five key players out all the time, it's hard for them to find any consistency.

I would say WI have a couple of world class players, as well as NZ, but for both sides there is a huge jump from DOM to INT cricket.

I would just say New Zealand's fringe players are better than the West Indies fringe players, which is why they are a slightly better side.

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove to me???

I am asking on what basis are the players rated in this game. Because it is clear that the WI have better batsman then NZ and yet they get run over in this sim.
Those 5 key players arent injured in this sim here and yet the team is sucking.
If the players in this sim are based on real life then its clear who should be the the better team between the 2 sides. Ask anyone and they will tell you that a full strength WI team is not a push over like they were hence they shouldn't be push overs in the game.
I bet that if the WI were paired up against Bangladesh in this sim they would lose the series.

I don't know how Bilal is rating the players, but I my league I use a number of factors, the players international experience, their current international form (2009), players career averages, and a few more things.
 
Firstly, I appreciate your concern Dare.

It took great deal and amount of time to really finalize the abilities of all players. Like Callum mentioned, I also look at alot of things to finalize the player abilities (eg Averages, Performance in the last few years, form, talent) Not to mention I tried nearly 50 Tests and ODIs to see whether the player ratings were fair or not. After that I looked at the stats and see whether they performed as well as they should have. In this simulator I found out players also have the "form thing". Like real life certain players perform much better then they really are, and others dont. I will compare the rankings with you here in Tests:

Gayle has been ranked = Rahul Dravid. Also in their range are players like AB, Laxman, and Samaraweera. Gayle hasnt been the only one failing with the runs, Dravid has had an average of 20 in 6 Tests. Laxman has hit the peak of the lot, scoring 1000+ runs with an average of 68

There shouldnt me any comparison with Chanderpaul and Sarwan, Chanderpaul is one of the players with the highest abilities and his performance has reflected that. Sarwan one the other hand has also performed pretty much equal to his abilities (actually better than his career average). He has been ranked along the likes of Younis, and Tendulkar. Tendulkar has had an equal season with Sarwan with Tendulkar being a mere 50 runs ahead in the run tally, but Sarwan has a better average. Younis(along with Sehwag) on the other hand have had exceptional seasons were they both have managed 1000 runs each.

Moving over to the bowling side of things, Bravo has been the highest wicket-taker this season with 48 scalps @ an average of 19.4! His fellow pacers, Taylor and Edwards didnt have bright seasons as compared to him, as he was taking the wickets very consistently. Taylor took 19 wickets this season in 6 Tests @ 32 and Edwards (they are ranked equally in the sim) 29 Wickets @ 34, which is sad considering their abilities are ranked as equal to the likes of Swann(41 wickets @ 26.3). People may have forgot Taylors legendary bowling performance in the 2nd Test against Australia where he took 6/33 wrapped the Aussies single-handedly, considering that he does have the ability to perform like that.

Another Interesting stats thing I'd mention is that Nash has 1 ability ranked better then Barath. Barath has scored only 14 less runs then him this season, despite playing 2 Tests less than Nash. Also Barath averages 45, Nash only 36.

What I am trying to say really is that, I did the best I could in arranging the stats as fairly as I could. I am not perfect and can make mistakes like anybody else. What I have tried to prove using the stats above was to show you that certain players have performed brilliantly this season and others despite the same ability have struggled. If you can wait, I will provide you the indepth analysis of the WI ODI team as well, but you will have to wait an hour or so, cause I have to go out for a while. I hope this was helpful Dare.
