Hasan Ali is RHB
Changed.
Also I feel I should campaign a bit more for Finnie to be an allrounder. He was NZU19 captain picked primarily for his offspin but seems to have developed his batting also. Being a young spinner in NZ can be tough!
In First Class cricket he isn't bowling, which is a higher standard than Int U19s.Last edited by Sureshot; 08-01-2018, 04:32 PM.

Australia:
D’arcy Short needs his batting and bowling ability decreased. In the game he keeps picking up regular wickets and bowls 20 odd overs in an innings for Western Australia. His batting ability could do with a decrease as well i feel.
Tweaked his batting down, but his bowling ability looks fine.
Billy stanlake could do with a slight increase in his bowling as in the game he dosent seem to be getting picked all that much by Queensland.
Improved.
England:
Moeen Ali’s batting could do with a increase i feel.
Looks bang on for Moeen.
Dom Bess’s bowling needs a decrease, he keeps getting picked regularly for England in the test and odi side.
We're tweaking Bess, as he looks like he's now out of favour with England.
Will Jacks batting needs a slight increase.
Until he's done more at domestic level, don't agree, his batting ability isn't bad atm.

I haven't used these players yet and perhaps the odd one is just having good/bad form but the AI are batting Kohli at 7 in the test team and he's averaging low 20's in both ODI and test match cricket but 60+ in T20's over 20 games.
Bairstow is averaging mid 20's in all 3 formats with a really pedestrian strike rate of 80 in ODI's and Dom Bess is currently #1 in the World rankings?
Moeen Ali and David Willey haven't been selected for a single International game all year which seems incredibly unfair, especially when they are both key parts of the #1 ODI side and both of them are doing incredibly average at CC level in the game for me too. I know he has only just started breaking through but Jonny Tattersall's 5 star form for Yorkshire had his highest score of 30... I would expect number 11's to have batting scores similar with 5* form. Harry Brook is another who looks International bound but he doesn't feel viable from what I've seen despite me making beyond efforts to get him working.
Also something that is really beginning to annoy me about this game is the broken transfer system regarding player availability. I signed Kuldeep Yadav to play for Yorkshire in the t20 games, and despite making it to the semi finals he wasn't available for a SINGLE game the entire season yet I'm paying him around 30k? Why is he even available to me, I can't even check the calendar from the transfer screen to see who's playing during the CC season so am I just supposed to operate in blind faith? Also the IPL YES/NO section is wrong almost 100% of the time, it's quite amazing how poorly that bit is done.
India
Vastly increase Kohli's ability in ODI + test cricket, we are talking about the best batsman in the World being used as a #7
Kohli's issues were fixed by some changes Chris made in the last update. THere's nothing wrong with Kohli's ability, so that won't be changed.
England
Decrease Dom Bess' abilities, he has only just begun to break into the scene Changed.
Increase Moeen Ali's batting and bowling accuracy. Don't agree with either, his batting ability is about right, as for bowling, well, based on his winter, we probably have him too good.
Increase Eoin Morgan's batting ability - similar to Kohli every year he is just a shadow of his IRL self in this game Eoin Morgan is not a consistent cricketer, he has one good year, one average year. He's nowhere near Kohli in terms of ability. I've tweaked him slightly, to improve his batting.
Slight Increase on ability for Harry Brook + Jonny Tattersall In their young careers, don't see either having done enough to warrant any changes in their ability.
Slight decrease on Alistair Cook, he is one of the best batsmen in the game which seems very silly now. His ability in game this year is lower than it was last year, his ability is about right.
Increase Bairstow's ODI strike rate, he should be one of the most attacking players in the game in this format He's currently very aggressive.

I think Alistair Cook should be a leg side play, not off side!
Also Tom Westley probably wants strong leg side preference
For me, Cook is always looking for that cut behind square. With some of his bizarre leg-side dismissals to spinners, not sure leg side is a preference (though he can be strong with it and he's strong with anything off his back foot).Last edited by Sureshot; 08-01-2018, 04:53 PM.

- Shafiqullah Shafiq (Afghanistan) is listed as "Shafiqullah Shinwari" for some reason. Just how we have his name, please feel free to edit names as you please with the editing pencil (top right of screen).
- Shiv Chanderpaul should be able to be selected for the West Indies as a retired player in ATG mode. This is doable in latest update.
- Eoin Morgan should be able to be selected for Ireland as a retired player in ATG mode. Won't be possible for CC18.
- Mlueki Nkala was primary a bowler, in game is is listed as a batsman. Actually listed as an all-rounder, which I think is fair based on him mostly batting at 7 and 8, had a decent FC record.
- George Giffen was a medium pace bowler, however in game he is listed as a spin bower. My research suggests he bowled off-spin at medium pace.
- Jack Saunders played for Australia, not NZ. Changed.
- Richard Hadlee doesn't really need that "Sir" in front of his name, does he? None of the other knighted cricketers are listed in this way. Just how our data is, like top, probably best to edit as you see fit.
- Srinivas Venkataraghavan is listed as "Venkat Venkat" See above.Last edited by Sureshot; 08-01-2018, 05:00 PM.

I'm sick of getting bowled out due to Bess, please decrease his ability! (although I should have a game as England before the next update ;))
He's being tweaked for next version.
Rovman Powell should be an all rounder and RFM Changed to RFM, think he'll stay as part-time bowler. Bowls more in OD than anything else, but mostly does so at #6.
Aiden Billzard should be retired Well seen, removed him from the game as he's not played internationals.

Apologies if I’ve missed this, but are updates made to the iOS version?
Anyway, some notes/suggestions if there is an update:
Ben slater too good - top run scorer in country 1st 2 seasons
Max Holden in England sides from 1st season - maybe in 6 or 7 seasons in but he’s just making his way in FC cricket
M Parkinson too good
Amar Virdi not good enough (discussed as possible spinner for England already)
Darcy short way too good - averaging 55+ in all formats. He’s a fridge first class player at home for WA (though decent in short forms). Real life FC stats - 9 matches, average 21 with the bat and 34 with the ball. Really has only had that too big bash campaign this year otherwise he’s been ordinary. Looked pretty out of his depth in England and a bit in the IPL.
Ben McDermott part time keeper and way too good. Jake Doran more likely to be as good in real life as McDermott on this game.
Alex Carey needs to be better - no contest Australia’s next keeper after Paine. Aggressive batsman.
Bell/Kelly too good - both fringe 1st players in Australia
Stanlake RF & better - Ponting suggests he could be an all time great. Has been in cotton wool
Dan Fallins right arm LS
Ashton Agar aggressive
Shaun Marsh average aggression
Matt Renshaw average aggression
Ben Howell & Bopara in England squads. Howell opener in FC
M Marsh RMF
Dan Worrall RMF
Chadd Sayers basically FC only - no short form gigs
Zampa is too good in the game- Swepson better. Jon Holland 2nd choice test spinner
Kohli needs to be better
Rabada & Ndigi gone by 3rd year from SA squad - shouldn’t happen
Asad Shafiq FC 4 not 6
Shai Hope average, Shane Dowrich defensive
Kyle Abbott should be one of the better bowlers despite being Kolpak
Jake Ball RMF
Keaton Jennings way too good - No 1 test bat in world in the 3rd season
M Critchley bowing needs slight improvement - high hopes for his leg spin
Upul Tharanga has taken 12 months off tests
Shezhad from Pak done for drugs again - will have a long suspension
Jamie Porter RFM
Tom Latham average aggression
Will Pukovski average aggression
Jake Weatherald aggressive
Jason Holder aggressive
Chandimal from SL is quality - just about their only test standard player so needs to be better, not in squads after first year or 2
5 of English test side is made up players by the 3rd season & 11/18 in OD squad - maybe look at restricting when new players come in to international sides for about 5 seasons (at least in the major countries)?
South Africa have 10 opening bats in their squad by year 3 - often they struggle for 2!
M Abbas from Pakistan looked pretty outstanding as a test bowler during their tour
Tom Curran RMF
Moeen still a good ODI cricketer - never really selected in the game
Mason Crane probably needs to be made a bit better - will be in the frame for short forms at least when fit
Dom Bess obviously too good
Joe Burns a bit too good - unlikely to play a lot going forward I don’t think for Australia
Eoin Morgan played a couple of tests - unlikelyLast edited by AndreM; 07-21-2018, 03:15 PM.

Just loaded the game with Pakistan.
Umar Gul and Zulfiqar Babar should be nowhere near the initial squad lol
Faheem Ashraf bowling should be tweaked very slightly ( he isn't as bad as he appears in game)
AI isn't selecting Gul and Babar for me. Ashraf's rating is fine in-game, please use a good 2 years of in-game data as a reference points for abilities.Last edited by Sureshot; 08-02-2018, 06:13 PM.
