Let me know if you want me to chase up all the Aussie grounds info? It's a shame I still did'nt have all the info I got for that other game?

I can do research for newzealand domestic teams if needed. as i know some sites

Scatter, please keep us updated as to when u have finished the templates for what you need us to get!
Or are you just doing the stadiums at the moment?

rad - tbh the player research has been put on the back burner for a while for a couple of reasons...

- i am hellishly busy with the stadiums and other aspects of the game
- if we get the data too early, it will be well out of date by the time we are finished
- the coders have to decide what is the best method for storing such info in the game. it could be that we will save ourselves a lot of double data entry if we wait until we know more about the database we'll use, and then give the researchers a program (that will be like the editor) to put the data straight into the necessary files for us...

Grounds for Associate ICC members are as complete as I can get them. If anyone has any info on Italian cricket and their main cricket ground I'd appreciate it -- its the only one I can't find info on.

Bangladesh grounds are finished in basic form.

I will start on the Full Test countries now.

Good gear Steve...

Look forward to getting that info from you...

As soon as it arrives, a few other things can get set in motion

Steve try this site? http://www.crickitalia.org/

Enter the site through the english area then scroll to the bottom of the page, you will see CLUBS. Go in there, they have a list of there Italian clubs.

Steve, This is another great cricket links site which could be useful if your looking for other Cricket clubs from all parts of the World? http://www.stadiumturf.com/cricketlink.htm

 

[SteveG]

Thanks Bomber, I have visited the Italian site but they had no info about the grounds.

I'll certainly check out the last link you posted.

I am in need of help from any forum members who come from any of the test playing countries.

I need photo's of all major grounds, info such as seating plans, capacity, etc.

These can be images from the net, scanned pics from magazines or anything about test grounds that I can put in my files.

That can also extend to countries like Kenya, Scotland, Ireland who are just beneath test status.

Please help me out. I have got off to a good start but am going to need some in depth data very soon. If you can help then leave me a PM and I will send you my email addy. Thanks.

I recently sent Scatter a panoramic set of photos from Scotland's home ground at the Grange Club in Edinburgh. I can send them to you as well if you would like.

 

[SteveG]

That would be great, thanks denver. I'll send you a PM with my email addy.

I have just about completed half of the Test Grounds. Have found some photo's on Pakistani grounds hard to find. Also Kenya and a couple of South African grounds.

Anyone from those countries?
