Ok I was thinking after giving Sriram his Mumbai squad for this season, that WCC is getting out of control and lossing all it's relisim season by season.
Ok last season's top two players by avgerage; T.Darden and B.Allen both hit runs for fun, they both ended up with like avg 70+ in both formats... therfore their avg have shot up big time. T.Darden's FD avg is now 74 (VC4 has edited it to 64, due to amount of games played), but if he destoryed all comers (Div 1 - The best league as well) with a extra 10 on his avg I dread to think what he will do this season, espically as the game is completly stats based.
It was shown last season that even being injuried for like 4 weeks he still hit well over 700 runs, and SA M.Jenkins hit 1097 runs in just 7 matches :O
What Iam trying to say is that with rookies coming in stright away with stats of like 64 batting avg in 2 - 3 seasons time we could have about 10 players all heading towards the 100 mark (plus whatever rookies appear with extra high avgerages as well)
But the only way to really counter this is for even better bolwers to flood the market, yet even at the very start of the draft there were only a couple that had really special avgerages, the only other way I can think is to enforce a cap on players avg
And before you start saying iam just moaning because I don't have these players / or iam not winning... remember I have my fair shear in B.Allen ( avg late 58 and 60 odd), Andy Flower's FD avg is up in the 50's area, and I've just signed Laxman @ 51-54 area.
I just think that if nothings done to combat this soon news teams just won't stand a hope in hell of catching up and it will become scorecards of 600/5 dec .... 555/8 dec ..... 345/4 - Match Drawn and just the relisim in general dissapearing for good, I mean in real life how many batsman have life avgerages of over 60... WCC already has 4 (Of the top of my head)
Anyone else agree that maybe things need to be done, to actually keep this a game rather than select 5 batsman and sit back and watch????
Batsman avg over 60 already, after just 2 season (in 3 cases 1 season and in 3 they haven't even played yet)
- M.Bevan
- T.Darden
- B.Allen
- M.Jenkins
- And 3 Rookies I can remember
+ Loads in the mid to high 50's
