Maybe go for a batsmen or wicket keeper batsmen , Just keep in mind the combination we want to get , if you want a batting strong team then opt for a batsmen or if a bowling strong team then opt for a bowler

i think most teams would pick drafts keeping in mind what kind of pitch they would set at their home ground, I think you @last_knight and @Smbhayi would probably know much better than me just keep your idea clear in your mind and choose accordingly based on role batting, bowling, Wk or AR

Problem with Mobile Mode is I don't usually get the idea who has tagged/mentioned me or quoted me.wrt activity I was split between @The_KING and @TeymurBlake.

Very sorry @The_KING
I didn't have any idea you had tagged or mentioned me.

@Square Drive if you allow I may ask @jeetu for a swap @The_KING.

Happy to be back with the two lads I've played before. Star Kaptaan and Star phast bowler.

[Moh@n]

Erm, @jeetu actually confirmed you can change player roles after the draft.

[TeymurBlake]

Also if were doing number for our jersey, I would like No.19. So I could channel my inner Ahmed 'Run Machine' Shehzad from last season.

For our pick #50 , consider it done in following order depending upon availability.
1= Afhan Ali , but if he is picked by Lightening Hawks then 2= ibrahim.imran , if both are picked then 3= Cric_Craze .

[Smbhayi]

@last_knight really curious to know why you didn't pick The_KING. He's quite active and even requested to be considered for your team

@Square Drive if you allow I may ask @jeetu for a swap @The_KING.

We may can swap @Ismailtoca with @The_KING, believe he's a former member of hawk and shows interesting of joining them

Hey guys, sorry for the late response.

I would be happy to make the swap, provided that we got a good/equal return on it. However, it does not seem that anyone being offered is an upgrade over @The_KING, who has already expressed gratitude in our team thread and has demonstrated great interest in playing for us earlier today.

The only player out of the ones offered that I'd be willing to swap for is (since Geil is not up for trade) Azan Basit, but he seems to be one of your core members and wants to stick with Loose Cannons.

As for Ismailtoca, he hasn't been active in a while and I don't think he has that same level of interest anymore.

Therefore, keeping all of that in mind, I don't agree to the swap. Hope you understand. @Watsupdoc

[Smbhayi]

I think an offie, a wk, a bat and a fast medium bowlers will be God @last_knight

[last_knight]

What are our plans for the international picks? Any specific names in mind?

Intl players will be needed for Team Balance during matches at some specific venues and pitch types.Otherwise with current skill sets, Intl picks are mostly ceremonial and we should pick big names who are crowd pullers.

We will not rotate batsmen at all but we will have to rotate bowlers in certain onditions. I think we should pick 2 batting AR ( 1Fast 1 spin), 1 spinner and 1 Fast Bowler.

[last_knight]

I think an offie, a wk, a bat and a fast medium bowlers will be God @last_knight

@Afhan Ali is our WK.
What about 4 picks including Offie, Fast, Bat AR spinner, Bat AR fast.

[last_knight]

@Afhan Ali is our WK.
What about 4 picks including Offie, Fast, Bat AR spinner, Bat AR fast.

That will cover spin friendly venues. Also devilish and spicy venues.
With this we can play 5 pacers .
With this we can also play up to 3 spinners.
With this we can also play up to 4 AR.

[Smbhayi]

@Afhan Ali is our WK.

Use Opera Mini and select desktop view in extreme mode..

Tried it after you suggested. For Android, Opera Mini doesn't have desktop mode.
Followed chrome desktop and I had 660 notifications with 150 mentions. I miss majority of notifications because I browse in Mobile Mode that is so easy to browse in.
Now I will try to follow notifications regularly through chrome desktop mode.Apologies to everyone if I fail to respond.

[Azan Basit]

@Afhan Ali is our WK.

How about Lyon, Morkel/Lee, Afridi and Flintoff/Stokes?

[last_knight]

How about Lyon, Morkel/Lee, Afridi and Flintoff/Stokes?

Murali, Stokes, Afridi, Akhtar

[Azan Basit]

Murali, Stokes, Afridi, Akhtar

I'd still go with Lee over Akthar. And if an offie isn't a must, Warne for Murali

[last_knight]

I thought everyone was waiting for our pick so I posted our pick (Akhtar) before seeing your post.

intl picks :
Shoaib Akhtar
Ben Stokes
Mohammad Hafeez
Nathon M Lyon

[last_knight]

According to rules, Diamond and regular will be at same skill set after a boost.
So first of all Diamond Contracts won't get boosts.

We should choose a pace friendly home venue. And have 2 Diamond batsmen and 2 Diamond bowlers​ with boost for one Pacer in home matches. Boosts can be split between bat and bowl for away matches.

@Smbhayi @Azan Basit @Geil

[TeymurBlake]

@Smbhayi @Azan Basit @Geil

what about double boosting me every time

[Smbhayi]

BTW will check thread tomorrow.. too lazy ATM..

[last_knight]

Good idea.

@Smbhayi @Azan Basit @Geil

I think boost will play a major part in building a strong team especially in those away matches which are usually difficult to win you and @Smbhayi are veterans and understand how simulation work hopefully we can build a strong team

[Smbhayi]

is t20 part of the season?

[Smbhayi]

@last_knight if we're going to make pace friendly pitches then it'd be better all our bowlers are (non-int'l) pacers.. and I don't think there'll be many spinning pitches.. on spinning pitches we can use Lala and Professor..

[Smbhayi]

Hafees and Lyon.. Thought Lala was available

[last_knight]

is t20 part of the season?

Yes.
5 T20, 5 ODI, 5 TESTS, before mid season. Same number of matches after mid season.

Hafees and Lyon.. Thought Lala was available

@silentkiller187 is a spinner, Pure AR.

[Smbhayi]

.
@silentkiller187 is a spinner, Pure AR.

it'd be better changing him or me in to bat cos we only need 4 bowlers test matches..

[last_knight]

it'd be better changing him or me in to bat cos we only need 4 bowlers test matches..

Either way we will have to play one intl in one format. With current roles we will have to play one intl in tests. With this role change we will have to play one intl in both the t20 and ODI formats.

[Smbhayi]

Either way we will have to play one intl in one format. With current roles we will have to play one intl in tests. With this role change we will have to play one intl in both the t20 and ODI formats.

Still don't think we need two ARs in playing xi..

[Smbhayi]

We can drop Ismailtoca when needed as he won't be active much..

[last_knight]

Still don't think we need two ARs in playing xi..

Agreed. We may need @silentkiller187 as a specialist spinner.
Btw, how about spicy pitch for 50% matches and playing Ben Stokes for @silentkiller187

We can drop Ismailtoca when needed as he won't be active much..

Agreed. He will play most of t20 and ODI matches but will be replaced by a batsman in tests and by spinner in t20 and ODIs at spin friendly venues.

[Smbhayi]

@last_knight give me Diamond contract so I'll have 65/75 skill.. Other 3 can allocated to a bowler, a bat and a wk.. If we need to boost ARs we can boost intl ones..

[Smbhayi]

Also change @Ismailtoca in to bat.. We don't have reserve bat in int'l players and we need 7 bat for test matches..

[Smbhayi]

That means we'll have below skill set without boost
For Test
1. 85
2. 85
3. 75
4. 75
5. 75
6. 75

[Smbhayi]

On a second thought change @silentkiller187 to spin..

[Smbhayi]

On a second thought change @silentkiller187 to spin..

And give him diamond contract instead of Azlan Khan..

[Smbhayi]

For pitch attributes I'd suggests
Bounce : High
Swing : High
Seam : Avg
Spin : Avg
Deterioration : Low

[last_knight]

And give him diamond contract instead of Azlan Khan..

So that leaves none of our Pacers with Diamond contracts. Right ?
