...well, maybe not a science. But I like Sarcastic Rover on Twitter, so sue me. Anywho, we all have teams we use in [HASHTAG]#DBC14[/HASHTAG] some of which, we've downloaded via the Academy and some, we've just created and fine-tuned ourselves in our own game to come up with a pretty decent AI vs. Player combination to get challenging matches out of the game.

So lets compile and compare and come up with what the greater majority here would call the "Best" teams on the Academy and well accordingly all go "Five-Star" them, vote them up so we have one team for each of the "on-disc" linked teams.

Why do this now?

  • It might help the Big Ant guys test what we consider the "Best" balanced teams available (lets not worry about what they look like, for purposes of this thread) but push those teams higher up the list as well - giving them a base to work from attribute-wise that we think works well.
  • Use Blockerdave's amazing thread as a solid starting point, with a more focused goal of actually having 1 team per on-disc link. I suggest starting with the international teams and working back from there
  • Because, reasons.
In short, this is what to do

  1. Visit Blockerdaves thread (if you haven't done so already, which you should've)
  2. In your best experiences or expertise of playing Don Bradman Cricket, suggest the team you think best plays in game realistically, is balanced and performs well as the "AI" opponent
  3. Post it below, if people agree use the "thanks" feature, if you disagree, cite another team and why
Rinse, Wash, Repeat.

Lets get a list going.

Go.

For my money, I play with the on-disc custom modified "Big Ant Studios" team a lot which I'll upload and I think that's a crazy tough team to beat, especially spin-wise and I get some great matches out of it against the AI on PRO ...so I'm happy to upload my custom tweaked one.

Looks really good, thanks for your effort. I'll wrap up my full list over the weekend, be good to get a few more folks who are still regularly playing, kthxbye.
 
I've downloaded teams from the fan hub. Some good, most of them mediocre (in the gameplay sense and not in the time and effort put in). I see that mrdconnors for example has made a Durham team. I've asked the question before but still don't understand how I can search and find a certain team by a certain member. Could someone please do a 'searching teams for dummies' info sheet!
