nightprowler, one problem here. we have to choose 2 allrounder, but we have only 2 allrounders as possible choice:

Sanath Jayasuriya
Chris Cairns

so everyone will have this 2 players. can you change to number of allrounders?

 

[ZexyZahid]

Didn't try it yet. But there are a lot of allrounders in New Zealand. Styris, Oram. Maybe you can consider Adams and Vettori as allrounder too.

I made two all-rounders on purpose, to make things a bit more interesting. This way everybody will have either Sanath or Cairns, not both. I did something similar in the Ashes, and it worked out great. I made Warne and Flintoff as the only two all-rounders, both players were the top performers for their respective teams. A lot depended on whom people chose in their teams, so there was some thinking that went in to choosing your team.

I'm hoping the same could happen during this series, as I rate Cairns and Sanath at the same level at the moment. Hope you guys are up for the challenge.

The Night Prowler.

EDIT: Oops, just realized my mistake. There are two all-rounders in ODIs instead of just one like tests. Added Vettori as an all-rounder. Also added Perera, How, and Fulton in the FC game.

I am not getting something right here. If we can only choose batman 5 or bowler 4 (they are both *, we can't choose both), then to get 11 players, don't we need to choose both all rounders (sanath & cairns)?

Also, I have tried all the various combinations and still get the error message "not all required fields were filled out". Can anyone help?

 

[nightprowler10]

Yeah I just realized my mistake and edited the above post. You shouldn't have any more problems. You now have Vettori, Jayasuria, and Cairns to choose from as all-rounders.

 

[akira2291]

thats better with 3 allrounders, but how about adding styris or oram too?
that would be much better, because we have to coose from 5 betsman OR 4 bowler,
i hope you understand what i mean.

Nice team, but in mine there will be some differences. Also will wait till the last day since injuries will come along.

Its a pain editing all rounders stats. Three is torture enough for me.

Besides, Oram isn't that great of an AR anyway.

 

[akira2291]

okay. then we should have 3 allrounder there - no problem.

Fleming will miss the first ODI.

Another advantage of registering late! ;-)

 

[akira2291]

yeah thanks for the info.
but he inst injured, its just because the birthday of his daughter.

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's not the birthday of his daughter. It's the birth of his first child. :laugh

And Adams is out too.

 

[akira2291]
