CC2020 Database Feedback: English County Squads

[Sureshot]

Couple of points from me:

Gloucs

Ben Charlesworth bowls RM or RFM (75-80 at the moment, so wherever that falls in your scale)

Thanks for your feedback, I've replied in bold in your post.

Someone else mentioned Charlesworth should be RM, looking at videos I agreed. Little bit tricky, I've always felt Bopara is the top limit of RM, he will sometimes bowl a ball at 80mph, but averages lower than that. How quick is he compared to say Benny Howell (RFM), David Payne (LFM) or Ryan Higgins (RM)?

Tough to know at times, Jofra bowled some very quick 90+ spells for England last summer, but then also had some in the 80s. It's quite subjective.

On second thoughts, this is probably fair. His original contract was for three years anyway so it seems more than possible that he was given a T20 extension for this year. Having read the article, it does sound like that is all he is playing now. Apologies.

No need to apologise it's important to have chats about these issues.

The 100-ball is fully manageable, if you're managing a domestic team as well which has a match going on at the same time you will be taking control of the 100 match.

Based on this quote:

"I have one more season with them. They (Hampshire) backed me throughout the three years that I have been with them, so hopefully I can give something back in the coming T20 season."

I think it's fair to retire Rossouw from all but 20 Over?

Couple of points from me:

Gloucs

Ollie Price (younger brother of Tom Price) has signed a contract for Gloucs too - he bowls OS and bats high up the order. Added.
Tom Price is probably slightly quicker than RM Changed

Surrey

Borthwick definitely not an all rounder anymore Changed
Gus Atkinson is a seam bowler, not a batsman Changed
Dernbach is now RFM Changed
McKerr is probably RF, he's pretty sharp He will be RF.

Can't wait for the game!

Sure. Understood. Would like to see all State Teams & IPL teams. Some players have exhibited enormous skill in the Ranji Trophy this year.

Also some quirky picks in the IPL draft although it may not be relevant in reality.

Been watching a lot of cricket across various nations. Would like to help in the overall database if that's OK.

Okay, should have time this afternoon to sort. Indian 20 Over squads are up already in their own thread here: https://childishthings.com/forum/for...indian-20-over

Still not quite sure about this.
He had made comments at the beginning of the 2019 season about wishing to retire from red-ball, or at least to just focus on white-ball cricket.
From this, I took to mean that he would no longer play in the Championship from the end of the season but would continue to participate in both other formats.
Obviously, The Hundred has meant that he wouldn't play List A cricket this year, but as far as I'm aware, he would have done had he not been selected for the Hundred.

Without knowing how the Hundred will work (I'm assuming it's fully manageable like any other competition) in which case there could potentially be seasons in-game for which he was not selected for the Hundred, therefore (as far as I'm aware with his contract irl) would mean that he would be available for One Day selection.

The 100-ball is fully manageable, if you're managing a domestic team as well which has a match going on at the same time you will be taking control of the 100 match.

[Sureshot]

Any chance of this being added soon?

Not for Cricket Captain 2020, can't say much beyond that.

[Cricstarz]

until we can display bowler speeds in the highlights.

Any chance of this being added soon?

[Cricstarz]

Could you please post the Pakistan domestic squads - maybe at least the PSL teams as there are only 6 teams

Will sort shortly. I'll create separate threads for those.

Unsure on Rossouw, s/r's suggest Agg but the way he plays in real life is more V. Agg. Also no longer plays FC cricket for Hants, is on a white-ball contract only. I've retired Rossouw from all but Dom 20 Over, from this article it sounds clear he's just playing that now:

We've always done it with RMF faster than RFM, there's a lot of difference between various sources. I'm not fond of changing it on Cricket Captain until we can display bowler speeds in the highlights.

Are there any specific Indian sides you want to look at? There's 38 teams...

I was under the impression they were on short-term contracts. Neither listed on Durham's official website or Wiki page.

Also a fair point about Jenner, they don't seem to have any other keepers and seems sensible to include at least one backup WK. Seems to have played for Sussex in the past so this makes sense.

Tricky with Jenner, it's not "right", but then really don't want Sussex to have only 1 keeper. Best compromise for now, especially with this disrupted season, Sussex might have promoted a youth keeper, etc, but are unlikely to now.

Have changed Robson and Adair to be available at start of the game.

Bowling speeds are completely wrong yet again.

It should be RM-RMF-RFM-RF

A simple analysis of present day bowlers on ESPN Cricinfo could confirm that.

Anyway, it's the developer's prerogative to decide.

Will it be possible to post Indian sides. I would like to comment on them if allowed.

[*]Don't think Robson and Adair are still at the club.Hmm, can't find anything confirming they left or that they are still there. They both played last season, so think will leave them for now unless you've got some article showing they've left that I can't find?
