Sydney Cricket Ground for me

 

[Matt79]

Headingley for me.

All my bowlers have a better than career average there, with Imran and Pollock having averages in the low teens. And Steve Waugh averages 330 with the bat there, Border got a 200* there, Ponting averages 100+ there, even Tony G. averages 50+ there....

 

[G.I.Joe]

Seriously considering the DY Patil stadium nearby to cut down on the commute for home games

 

[chaminda_00]

McGarth and Marshall average in teens at Headingley and pretty sure Flintoff has a good record there as well. You will get owned. Kapil Dev also bowls well there.

 

[Matt79]

bring it.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Windy Wellington for me. All my quicks have good records there, and even Kumble has 6 wickets @ 25 there. Will be instructing my curator to ensure a batsmen's graveyard. 3 day tests will be the norm ...muahahahahaa

 

[chaminda_00]

With your batting line you will be lucky to last two days.

 

[pskov]

My team of players who you didn't pick that would smash all of your sides:

Hobbs
Suttcliffe
Bradman*
Headley
Compton
Sobers
Ames+
Miller
Lindwall
Trueman
Laker

Okay, let's get on with the sim!

[G.I.Joe]

I've got some free time now. I'm gathering the stats for the VC4 file now. Could the selectors of the 7 teams (5 drafted plus pskov' and NUFAN's leftover teams) post their teams in batting order and state their bowling orders now?

 

[Matt79]

Sehwag
Haynes
Ponting
Border
Waugh
Gilchrist
Greig
Imran
Pollock
Lillee
Roberts

Bowling order: Lillee, Imran, Roberts, Pollock, Greig (bowling spin), Sehwag (bowling spin), Border (bowling spin). When you're waiting how much each bowler bowls, Lillee and Pollock would bowl the most, with Imran and Roberts equal, and the spinners all bowling much less.

Bowling order don't work like that in VC4. You have to allocate positions i,e
1. Lillee
2. Pollock
3. Imran, Roberts
5. Greig
6. Sehwag
7. Border

[Matt79]

You can enter balls bowled, either total or per match, can't remember at the moment. I normally manipulate that stat to make the program bowl the bowlers I've picked the amount I'd like...
