maybe some senior players can sit out of grade cricket so that the rookies get more of a chance?

That would be the obvious solution I think... other than more grade teams. I don't see why international stars who play both tests and ODIs would need to play grade cricket when their domestic side has a bye anyway.

How long does it take to sim grade cricket (per game if possible) at the moment? The same two hours?

Not long really, about 10 mins per game. Hardest part is dealing with distraction and writing the reports (I'm not very quick at deciding what to report.)

TBH though, I don't mind, it was more of a joke than a serious concern.

That's true, those who play both ODI and Tests are unlikely to play grade. We do plan to introduce two more grade sides next season if the player pool is large enough.

Might be an idea to set it at the start of each season to assume that you will be getting an additional [x] amount of players before the season is over. How many that will be is something I don't know. Probably around 15-20, at a guess? Depends on how many more friends Beamer has.

Beamer has been a problem
We simply weren't expecting such an influx of players. Besides, there are only so many cities in CW

i'm sorry lads!!!!

i won't tell anyone else and leave you lot to get on with the same teams!!

i think the players who play in odi's and tests should not play in grade or some players who don't come on regularly get left out!!

It's all good mate, the more the merrier, just having a joke!

I was personally hoping the CWBCC would prevent some players from playing grade. I think perhaps those who play both forms internationally shouldn't play, but that's not up to me, I'm not going to deny them the use of a facility that was set up for everyone. Let's be honest here, I wanted to play grade too gives me something to do whilst OD games are being played.

Welcome to the system.

You've been assigned to CW Green.

 

[Smudge]

A number 10 who averages 23? Please...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

A number 10 who averages 23? Please...

Shane Bond? James Franklin? Kyle Mills? Fidel Edwards?

 

[age_master]

I think that Green have dibs on the next couple of players.

yeah i thin we are 2 players down on one team and 3 down on the rest at the moment, -1 on those for Mr Buxton

 

[steds]

Shane Bond? James Franklin? Kyle Mills?

Can't all bat 10 at the same time.

 

[Loony BoB]

Yeah, they've all batted at #11 at some point, I think - not sure on Franklin.

 

[superkingdave]

I bat 10 and my first class average before the season was over 20

 

[steds]

However, you would bat higher, but for the 50 million allrounders in the system.

 

[Smudge]

Shane Bond? James Franklin? Kyle Mills? Fidel Edwards?

Shane Bond: Tests 17.57, ODIs 16.88

Franklin: Tests 15.52, ODIs 11.63

Kyle Mills: Tests 16.33, ODIs 13.52

Fidel Edwards: not even close...

If you're referring to their domestic records, Mills and Franklin usually bat in the top 6 or 7.
