**Official** TEST XI ANNOUNCEMENTS

[Simon]

The Indian squad for the 3rd and final test has been decided and will be announced at a later date by Manager Goff in his first official duty as co-manager of the India cricket side.

The India squad to tour New Zealand will be named shortly after this test. The squad was picked earlier today in a secret meeting. Theres sure to be some very unhappy cricketers after this announcement.

 

[Tim]

I have instructed the groundsmen to prepare some nice green-seamers for India.
Thats if any of the tests are played Wellington or Hamilton.
Auckland, CHCH & Dunedin may be more generous to the Indian batsmen.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

NZ will look to try and square the series in the final test at Wellington after showing good fight at Christchurch.

im sure our batsmen will just fail miserably anyway :rolleyes:

Some time in the future, could we take a poll on what certain pitches should be (what they are in real life) and use those? Would add extra touch on top the included realism. Then implement the one point rule except you can change all the factors but only by one point.

For example, I can have raging turners at The Oval which is a tad strange. Don't know how much effort this might entail so its just a thought.

That was an oversight on my part. The intention is that players are allowed to name whatever pitch they want within the boundaries of realism. Your idea sounds good though and will probably be instated at some point.

Not sure if you can have 10 as a condition if not then it will be 9, Same with Pace/Medium if it can't be 0 then it will be 1...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That perfectly acceptable.

 

[Blewy]

CHANGES

Ok sorry about this but i didn't see the above post about conditions...

I would like to change them to:

Pace: 0 :: Spin: 10 :: Medium: 0 :: Bounce: 5 :: Wear: 5

I thought 1 was least but then realised that 1 was actually the most...
and against Pakistan i think thats a bad idea...

:O :O :O

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The first injury sim will be done immediately after this series and posted on the website.
