*Official* England in Cricketweb Land February/March 2010

[Simon]

CW XI so dominant it's boring now IMO. Would rather watch Australia.

Dont forget we are only playing England, if we were up against a decent side like the Windies or Pakistan then we wouldn't be winning as easy.

 

[Jarquis]

Just so you know, with this sim I cant control the bowling or anything, its just a case of pick the teams and the sim does what it wants.

Oh, that's fair enough then.

[GIMH]

Sweeeeeeeet. Can't complain about my figures really. Nice win.

Well obviously, but still getting dangerously close to the point where we win absolutely at life.

 

[Simon]

Remember I'm still learning with regards to the simming stats and that. It's fair to say I still havent got the balance comparing our players to real life ones, hopefully I can sort it all out by the next series, so we aren't ridiculously good like happened against England.

Maybe, but CW XI was already practically a champion side before you took over. I suppose it's the same thing that's happened to Australia, where the system just produces so many good players that it's unavoidable. Also players don't get any worse with age in CWLand.

Not criticising you at all. Just a bit nostalgic for the early days of CW XI, where we struggled a bit. A time when selection dilemmas were of a different variety.

Mork MOM and opening the batting. Great job especially as he couldnt get a top order gig at the Wolves. That'll learn me

 

[99*]

Two catches, 20 runs batting at 6. Nice start for my international career.

And in the second side as well.

 

[David]

To be fair to us Liam, I'm the oldest player currently in the league and I'm only 34/5?

That said, I don't think we've been terribly consistent as a test playing nation, but have been far too competitive at the one day international level.

Perhaps a new system should be devised for our international competitiveness. I think our domestic structure is quite strong and needs no significant changes however.

 

[Simon]

The domestic structure works because everyone is even, despite having inflated abilities to that of their real life counterparts.

It's a pretty simple thing to fix and that is to lower the simming stats of our batsman so they arent super human, but to come up with a fair way of doing it to ensure competitiveness etc... has been the hard part for me.

 

[Nate]

I'm quite happy to keep being awesome.

Heaps keen for my International 20/20 debut.

 

[GIMH]

Good luck Nath

Thanks brother. Well played in the first match, looking forward to you replacing Camps at ERUB.

 

[Johnners]

Awesome team performance

Why can't you play like that in OD's Mork?

That was pretty relevant.

Of late we've been terrific at Test level though. Far too much for my enjoyment.

Simming stats need to be capped. That's about as much as you can do, relatively fairly. You've probably done this already, but guys shouldn't be averaging more than 50 where ITC is concerned etc.
