Cricket Captain 2022 Database Feedback

[Hampshire]

Dom Kelly of Hampshire is an all rounder rather than a specialist bowler. Regularly been batting 6-7 for the 2nd XI (at only 16 years old) and scoring runs. Looks like he's generally been scoring at a fairly quick rate in the 2nd XI T20s so should maybe be a bit more than defensive.

Changed to all rounder and average.

Sureshot: rilee rossouw should be available for all formats for RSA now. He's not played FC since 2019, not available for Tests, but is for other international formats.


Also Harshal patel should be at minimum RFM. He is RFM currently.

Please increase the bowling rating for Deepak Chahar, he is definitely a better bowler than the general wickets/outcomes for him in all my sims so far. His ability looks fair, for Chennai his average is 28, which isn't particularly good for 20 Over.

It’s frustrating as i have patiently waited for the new database update and i feel half the changes haven’t been made.
Abdullah Shafiq and Mohammad Huraira are still way too overpowered. If anything lower their ability in t20’s!
Moeen Ali still continues to retire before the 2023 world cup, why has this not been fixed yet?

Why is the 7 match t20 series with England and Pakistan missing from the new update?

[LFC_YNWA1973]

Not sure if it should be added but Gary Ballance is returning to the Zimbabwe national team he’s waiting for the go ahead from the ICC

Ballance is now out of Yorkshire and with Zimbabwe.

Lewis McManus should be moved from Hampshire to Northamptonshire now, as the deal has been made permanent.

Jack Campbell should be moved from Durham to Hampshire, as he was released from there and has joined Hampshire.

All player movement has been picked up. McManus and Campbell have been moved.

It would be great to see more associate teams and players, even if just in tournament mode. Even if just being able to play as USA, Bermuda, Canada, Kenya and PNG where the players are already there, and the teams just need to be added to the custom tournament page

Interesting point, I will see.

To add to this I'd love to see Uganda included. They recently dished out steady doings to Bermuda and Hong Kong. Happy to help with players.

[Lynx54321]

Be nice to see a couple of the minor counties players added to the uncontracted pool. Chris Gibson and George Hargrave spring to mind.

Saqib Mahmood, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes should all be injured until the end of the T20 WC. I think it's highly unlikely that any of them would be able to play in the World Cup.
Ben Stokes should be retired from ODIs
Ollie Pope should be changed to an occasional keeper rather than being a full keeper.
Virat Kohli should be batting at number 3 rather than as an opener in T20s. He's only opened once in T20Is since 2018 and usually bats at 3, which should take precedence over the IPL. He's also batted at 3 more times than opening in the IPL as well.
Colin Munro should get a huge nerf in international selection as he's currently a regular in both white ball sides despite being nowhere near selection in the T20I WC side, and he definitely wouldn't get in the ODI side, especially in the middle order.
Matt Henry, Tom Latham & Harry Nicholls aren't overrated, but shouldn't be anywhere near the T20I side, Henry hasn't played a T20I since 2017.
Glenn Phillips should be bowling a lot more than he currently does as in some saves he doesn't bowl a ball.
Tom Latham should be changed to an occasional keeper, he ends up replacing the regular keepers Blundell & Seifert in the Test & T20I sides
Adam Milne should be out injured until the end of the 100. He's missed the 100, the New Zealand European tour & the IPL due to persistent injuries and so should be ruled out until the start of the NZ domestic season.
Imam ul-Haq is a T20I regular in CC22 despite not playing a T20I since 2019
Kusal Perera should be out injured with a shoulder injury until the start of September.
Gerhard Erasmus should be an allrounder rather than being a keeper. I don't think he's been a keeper for years. Changed
Tamim Iqbal should be retired from T20Is Done
Paul Stirling currently doesn't bowl a ball in my saves when he's usually quite a handy option with the ball for Ireland.
Lorcan Tucker should be changed to batting at 3 in T20s. He's been a regular there since first playing there against the USA in December, and is averaging 45 at a 142 strike rate with 4 fifties from 9 innings.
George Dockrell should be batting at 5 in T20s and at 5 or 7 in 50 overs cricket
Kevin O'Brien has retired from all international cricket. He needs to be unretired from domestic 50 overs cricket as he has been playing some for Leinster Lightning this season Done
William Porterfield retired from all cricket, not just internationals. Porterfield has gone straight into coaching with various teams. Retired from international, but not domestic as played in 2022 season.
A number of UAE players (Ashfaq Ahmed, Qadeer Ahmed, Shaiman Anwar, Amir Hayat, Mohammad Naveed & Ghulam Shabbir) have all been banned but are currently not banned in the game A few of these were retired, I've retired all others.
Steven Taylor is still down as a keeper despite being an allrounder - gave up keeping due to a back injury - for a number of years now. He also bowls very economical right arm offspin rather than medium pace. Changed
Aaron Jones bowls legspin rather than medium pace Changed
Nicholas Kirton bowls right arm offspin and should be changed to that Changed

Tristan Stubbs should be changed to an occasional keeper (or even allrounder? I don't know if he's ever kept before professionally but he seems to be bowling a bit) who bowls offspin rather than legspin. Changed to OB and removed keeper.
Temba Bavuma should be changed to a opener in T20s Changed
Dwaine Pretorius should be batting at 3 in T20s
Donovan Ferreira should be changed to a allrounder who bowls right arm offspin, rather than a wicket-keeper who bowls left arm medium. Changed
Simon Harmer's bowling is massively underrated in all formats in my opinion. With the ball he should be averaging in the low 20s if not even lower, but in the game he tends to average in the mid 20s and higher. His economy also needs lowering in T20s
David Bedingham has been batting at 4 for Durham in the T20s so should possibly be changed from an opener
George Linde is underrated in batting and very underrated in bowling, and his economy needs lowering, especially in the white ball formats where he tends to go at 8+ in-game despite in real life going at under 7 for the past few years in the format.
Michael Erlank should be a allrounder. He also currently doesn't play a game in my saves when he should be a regular. Changed
Rivaldo Moonsamy should be bowling right arm offspin rather than left arm medium pace. He's also bowled more than he's kept in the past few seasons so should possibly be changed to a occasional keeper or up the amount he bowls in-game. Changed to OB.

I personally think the SA v Bangladesh test series needs to be taken out and the 2 tests put in the stats instead considering the white ball half of that series is already in the stats and other international & domestic series' that finished after that are in the stats as well.
South Africa pulled out of their away ODI series against Australia due to be played in January and have conceded all the points, but it is still in the game.

Yep. I'd go along with that. I think that's the issue with the 2021-22 campaign encroaching on the 2022 season and the game quite understandably tries to replicate the game as far as it shows on the calendar. But yeah, seeing as the ODI part of the series is included in the stats, it makes sense to have the artistic license to remove the tests from the schedule and add to the stats. Also, the West Indian 4 day competition finished in June so at the commencement of the game, there's uncompleted stats on the 'previous season' which could be updated too.

The domestic comps that finished in June (WI and Indian 4 day) have been updated in the game and included in the last season of data.

Michael Finan signs for Leics. LMF seamer. Supposedly a fair few counties were interested.

Edit: He's rapid, maybe LF.

After a bad start in his first game I have to say this guy looks a pretty serious player. Bowls very quick and gets the ball moving. Certainly a step above Davis, Barnes or Walker.

Leics pace bowling rankings:

Good - Wright
Promising - Finan/Mike
Average - Barnes/Walker/Scriven
Dodgy - Davis
Poor - Sakande/Griffiths/A.Evans
