Associate Captain
Updated uniforms, with fixes to Red uniform for England 1900s and England 1910s and ODI Australia 1910s.
No love for any of the current pacers? Bruce Taylor is another one that could feel hard done by.
Attempting a personal strongest playing XI...
- Glenn Turner
- Mark Richardson
- Kane Williamson
- Ross Taylor
- Martin Crowe
- Brendon McCullum
- Chris Cairns
- Daniel Vettori
- Richard Hadlee
- Shane Bond
- Jack Cowie
Williamson over Flem, Richardson over the other two openers, Cairns over Reid and Cowie over the other pacers are the fairly contentious ones.
Amazing stuff. You can now settle down and embrace your new found love of t20.So there it is.... A journey that started over a year ago, is now completed. Or at least this part of the journey is. I'm about to upload West Indies 1940s. It's come full circle as I started with West Indies 30s.
I've worked on and created a group of teams, that have represented the major nations of cricket (England, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, New Zeland, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe) by decade. I did create an All Time Bangladesh team too as well as many All Time teams that I will update in the future.
I've tried where possible to create players who have made over 10 Test appearances for their country. This covers a lot of ODI players as well and maybe one day I'll attempt that too. I've created over a 1,300 players and also modified some bases of others such as @gleeso73, @wasteyouryouth @Dale88 (formerly @daleplayscricket), @blockerdave @relaxedanderson and @Spoobir and other assorted creators in the academy.
The philosophy had been to create individual teams enough for me to form own fantasy league using the greatest of all time and for others to fill up their squads, by creating more choice. I've had a ball watching old videos on You Tube, scouring Cricket Archives and Cricinfo, or reading way too many books, such as Jarrod Kimber's, "Alternative history of Test Cricket", however the books that has influenced me the most are two books which have become my bibles. One from many years ago and the other more recently.
Both were written by Christopher Martin Jenkins, the excellent, "Top 100, cricketers of all time" and "The Complete Who's Who of Test Cricket", they have been the "go to" for additional player information. There have also been many others too many to mention, that I have used for research, as well as this site to which is a treasure trove of information.
The best thing of all is learning about T20 cricket over the past year, what a blast and of course and participating in the "Social Distancing T20 Tournament" and my "Fire In Babylon" squad which had a run into the final, that tournament deserves a constant praise during a difficult year.
So I will do my last decade upload, from here on it will be mainly updating all the squads. Although I do a have another project that I had woven into this one which deserves, I feel a bit more work, which won't take long as most of the players exist.
Thanks for all the encouragement, and thanks to the bat, logo, stadium, uniform creators out there,
Enjoy!
Amazing stuff. You can now settle down and embrace your new found love of t20.
