No Bravo!!

[redlantern2051]

Hi, it seems there is no Dwayne Bravo for the Windies! What the hell??? He is like one of their best players and in the team. Am I missing something guys, I cant find him. I can't believe they wouldn't include Bravo.

Yeh, there appears to be no bravo. I think this is because he was banned by the Windies for some reason. I guess that is why he has not been included.

I'm afraid you have to believe it. Chris Gayle's bowling is also exceptionally low considering how effective an ODI bowler he is (it's in the mid 50s IIRC), so that in addition to Bravo's absence means they are effectively missing their two best all rounders, which is pretty crippling considering what that leaves them with.

There are numerous other examples of poor accuracy from Transmission, which include:

1. Steve Harmison is a Fast-Medium
2. Monty Panesar (49 - Should be 35ish?) is rated a higher bat than Stuart Broad (41 - surely mid to high 50s?) & Jimmy Anderson (44 - probably the most realistic of the lot)
3. Matt Prior and Tim Ambrose are rated the same in batting (63) while Ambrose is only one point better in keeping.
4. Cameron White (76) is rated a better spin bowler than Harbhajan Singh (73)
5. I seem to remember Rahul Dravid is rated in the low 70s

Baring in mind their apparent respect for the Planet Cricket community (spending time posting on here and allowing the play tests) and their apparently good relationship with the site's moderation team, you'd think they'd might have considered running the player database past some other eyes. I get the impression the development team don't follow much cricket outside of Aus.

I don't think he was banned. He's had numerous injury problems which I believe kept him out of the WI's home series against England and was then left out of the recent return tour of England because he wasn't deemed fit enough for Test Cricket.

Handily for him that coincided with the IPL, which he was deemed fit enough to take part in. Can you say "Ker-ching"?

I just wish they would let us edit them properly. This would all be irrelevent if they actually included the advanced editor they said they would

yeh he isn't banned. He was out of the team injured for abt 18 months but yeh he played a couple of matches, then starred in the IPL and then did really well in the short one day series in England just b4 the Ashes!!! That sux for the Windies team, its really unfair as he is one of their stars. Im gutted! oh well I have created him now but Im not happy, cant imagine he would be either! thats pretty poor. yeh it also sux abt Gayle, his bowling is cool. Man how annoying!

I am pretty sure you can edit players and their skills.. Have a look at the player editor thread.. You can rename someone and set the skill points..
