    I've been enjoying the game and I've been having a look at some of the game and have noticed a few things


    DER
    I don't think Anuj Dal should be defensive Career FC SR of 44, 44 in FC this season. Not played 20 Over. He'll be staying Def.
    Matt Critchley should be very aggressive, his power hitting was the reason he was used as opener in T20s Don't agree, his SR in 20 Over last season was 110, only 117 this season (117 is pretty much 7 an over).
    DUR
    Scott Borthwick bat->AR, been used as such since returning to Durham and has always been used as a bowler in T20s where he's been very good Agree, he's back bowling again now he's moved "home".
    Should Paul Coughlin be aggressive rather than an average aggression? I don't think so, his SRs are in average territory. Only scoring at 127 in 20 Over this year (average 20 over SR will be about 135)
    Ben Stokes is hugely underrated as a batsman and a little overrated with the ball in the past few editions of the game, he should be the 6th bowler rather than a 5th in LOIs I don't think he's hugely under-rated with the bat, I've improved him slightly though. His bwoling ability is fine.
    Cameron Steel bat-AR? - he's been bowling quite a lot over the past season or 2 and could possibly make a case for changing into an allrounder, used alot as a bowler in 2nd XI T20s I agree, he's bowled quite a bit for Surrey in List A, I've now moved him to Surrey.
    ESS
    Simon Harmer could possibly be average aggression rather than defensive Career SR of 49 in FC and 126 in 20 Over. SR of 38 in FC this year and 130 in 20 Over this season. He'll be staying Defensive for now.
    Dan Lawrence's batting & bowling is very underrated, bowled quite often usefully by Essex especially in T20s His ability with the ball is fair for a part-timer. He had a poor 2020 with the bat, but doing well this season. Have improved with the bat.
    Will Buttleman bowling is OB according to cricketarchive He's currently OB in the live database.
    GLO
    Should Kraigg Brathwaite be retired from T20s? Never played a game in the format Fair call, have changed.
    Jack Taylor switched to legspin in 2018 although I'm not sure if he's bowled in a match since the switch Thanks, have changed.
    Glenn Phillips should be changed from a wicketkeeper to an allrounder (or even an occasional wk - I think there was something similar for Kedar Jadhav) He's currently a part-time keeper in the database. Thus the small bat on top of gloves as his icon.
    I think George Scott shouldn't be very defensive with his strike rate in LA's being 123 He's scoring at 80 in LA this season, very low FC and 20 Over SRs, he'll be staying V Def for now.
    Benny Howell could possibly be aggressive with his batting being more so in the the past few years He's got a pretty significant dataset over his career, 126 in 20 Over, 54 FC and 90 in LA SRs. He'll stay as average for now.
    HANTS
    Toby Albert should be changed from a wicketkeeper to a batter or a occasional keeper. He hasn't kept for Hampshire 2nds or anywhere else as far as I know. He should also be changed from an opener in FC & LA's as he bats at 4 for Hampshire in those formats & only opens in T20s I've removed his keeper status, as I agree, can't see him having kept anywhere. He's opened a few times at various formats.
    Scott Currie is very underrated, especially in bowling. When simming a game he never bowls with batsman bowling over him and when he does bowl is very expensive. He's a top prospect for Hampshire & has done very well at both U19 & 2nd XI level. Possibly could even be changed from an allrounder to a bowler who can bat. I've changed him to just a bowler, and have improved his ability.
    Ian Holland should possibly be defensive, his strike rate is is 50 this year in FCs & also has a SR of 123 (with it being 131 before the start of this season) in T20s. Tricky one, as he's fluctuated quite a bit, but overall I agree, so changed him to def.
    Lewis McManus def->avg. Has good strike rates in T20s in the past few seasons He is currently average in the game.
    Tom Prest is a batting allrounder. His batting is also quite underrated & has good potential, especially after scoring 303 opening vs Sussex 2nds Changed to an all rounder. He's not done much in the LA cup this season, runs in 2nd XI don't mean too much.
    James Vince LA opener->no 3 for Hampshire. Also doesn't seem to be default captain with Northeast being captain at the start Changed to just 20 Over opener.
    Joe Weatherley doesn't open in T20s for Hampshire in real life, he bats in the top & middle order. He opens in FC, I'm afraid we don't have FC only openers in the game.
    KENT
    I think Zak Crawley should be aggressive based on last years SR With his 20 Over SR of 150, I feel this is a fair call. his FC SRs flutter between average and aggressive, aggressive when in form last season in FC.
    Jordan Cox, Ollie Robinson, Marcus O'Riordan & Hamidullah Qadri are all very underrated I don't think Robinson has done enough to warrant an increase in ability yet, I agree that Cox is under-rated, so I've improved him. O'Riordan is a prospect, but again, he's done little in his career as yet. Qadri's ability is fair for his real world results, he's averaging 39 in FC with the ball.
    Marcus O'Riordan also played for the Irish Academy side in 2019
    Darren Stevens bowling is very underrated Don't agree, his bowling ability is strong and fair. He's benefitted from poor county pitches in recent times, to increase his ability above it now would put him up with England's seamers, which would be wrong.
    LAN
    Finn Allen should be very aggressive. Should also bowl occasionally in some games He's V Agg in the live DB.
    Luke Wells bat->AR He bowls a bit, but he's a part-timer, like Root.
    LEI
    Rishi Patel is underrated His ability is fair in game, if anything, he's over-rated, he's had a poor season so far in real life.
    Scott Steel should be an allrounder He's a part-timer.
    Colin Ackermann should be average aggression All his Career SRs are Defensive, he's also been scoring at 42 in FC this season, will be staying defensive.
    Abi Sakande is a RMF, bowled 85 mph+ vs Somerset a few years ago for Sussex Fair call have changed.
    MID
    Josh de Caires should possibly be avg as he doesn't have that bad a strike rate in 2nd XI including T20 if I recall. Also should bowl quite a bit in game (batting all rounder maybe?) as he's a regular bowler in 2nd XI where he's been quite successful in T20s, doing well including 4-25 v Surrey 2nds Tough to say on aggression at the moment. I've improved him with the ball.
    Max Holden is underrated in limited overs He's not really done much in 20 Overs this season, poor FC record this season.
    Joe Cracknell should only be an occasional keeper rather than a full time keeper, hasn't kept at 2nd XI level yet and isn't a regular keeper at club level Thanks, changed.
    Stephen Eskinazi shouldn't be a keeper nor an occassional keeper and should just be classified as a batsman He did keep for Middlesex a couple of seasons ago, I think part-time keeper would be more suited.
    Blake Cullen is very underrated, he's been a regular for Middlesex and has done very well and has a bright future ahead Fair call, have improved.
    NOR
    Rob Keogh is an allrounder and a main spinner in FC cricket for Northants He's not really bowling enough to be an all-rounder, pretty close though for me he's a part-timer. Bowled in 10 innings from 10 FC matches this season, 9 overs per innings. Not really been successful.
    Tom Taylor should be very aggressive, he's improved his batting alot in previous seasons & his strike rate last season in FC cricket was almost 80 He only face 98 balls last season, that doesn't counter a career SR of 44 in FC. SR of 42 in FC this season and not even a run a ball in 20 Overs this season. He'll be staying defensive.
    NOT
    Sol Budinger - wk->occ wk - agg->v agg - and batting (especially limited overs) is underrated in game, he's been averaging 42 @ 172.94 with 1 100 in the 2nd XI T20 comp this season Changed to part time keeper and V agg. I've improved slightly, but 2nd XI form doesn't mean much.
    Dane Schadendorf - signed a 2yr contract rather than 1
    Lyndon James batting is underrated a little Fair call, had some 50s this year. Improved. Have improved with the ball as he has some decent numbers in FC this year.
    Toby Pettman automatically gets into the England squad in the first season although currently hasn't even played a game for Nottinghamshire This has been fixed in the next update.
    SOM
    Tom Abell should be an allrounder and also possibly aggressive with his strike rates the past few seasons, he's always used as a 5th bowler in the Championship for Somerset He bowls a bit, but mostly FC. Decent career numbers, but bowled in 56 innings from 89 FC matches, a decent part-timer.
    Lewis Goldsworthy is very underrated in both batting & bowling, very good prospect for both Somerset and had a very successful U19 World Cup with his bowling but in-game he is very expensive He's not really done much in real life as yet, barely bowled in FC this season. I've tweaked his economy AI, but have left his abilities as is, as they are fair.
    I don't think Josh Davey should be very defensive Striking at 42 this season in FC, career SR of 44 in FC. LA SR of 66. He's Very Defensive.
    Ollie Sale should be RMF - comfortably bowling 85+ in the T20s last season Changed to RMF.
    Max Waller signed a 2 year T20 only deal last year Currently retired from FC/Tests.

    Is there a date for when a new update will be released with the database changes?

    Whats people thoughts on Vasconcelos at Northampton? for me, im 5 seasons in and hes been underwhelming to say the least, which I feel like its completely different to normal life. In real life hes by far Northants' best batsmen!

    Darren Stevens bowling is exceptionally underated, again is this something related to the game not allowing older players to perform? Amla again looks dreadful though I've not included him Stevens ability with the ball is fair in game, he's done well in recent seasons, but has also been boosted by an abundance of poor county pitches.

    Had a look at Amla, agree he's a bit under-rated, so have improved.


    ? ?

    And Tattersall doesn't have numbers like these in him, his other season his one day formats were GOAT levels when he's dropped from Yorkshire in place of a keeper that can't really bat

    Agree, have nobbled Tattersall a bit.

    ?

    Sorry for the multiple posts, it won't let me post multiple screenshots at once for some reason

    Gary Ballance as he has been in recent versions seems to be underated His ability is fair, he's had an average season.

    ? ? ? ?
    Vasconcellos struggling, looks like another potential superstar and regularly carries his County His ability is fair, he's the best Northants batsman in real life and in the game.

    ? ? ?

    Olly Stone looks like he could use an upgrade Fair call, have improved.

    ? ?

    Kohler Cadmore isn't a potential opener in First Class despite playing the last couple of years there for Yorkshire Changed to full opener
    Malan not selected t20 Internationals

    Played a few games as Yorkshire and a few things stood out to me instantly. #1 Jordan Thompson felt useless, he's arguably Yorkshires biggest talent right now with utterly ridiculous averages, as well as being used as a gun early order smasher in t20s. This guy is absolutely a key player and a huge prospect, yet when I created 2 test saves and sped forward he wasn't even getting a look in on a Yorkshire team that relies on him in real life. Deserves a MASSIVE upgrade, he is a match winner that swings the ball both ways at a decent pace He's not got much match in the 100 as a counter. That said, I agree he's under-rated with the ball in game, so I've improved him.

    Along with Thompson, Harry Brook as the former u19s England captain, and having the t20 blast season that many superstars would never dream of he is another guy that simply cannot get a game for Yorkshire. Using him he feels like he cannot bat in the game, his County game is improving quickly and Joe Root has had multiple quotes singling this guy out as a future superstar, yet every game recently he has been 100% droppable and not close to the first team when he should be developing fast and being an established first team player even when the Internationals are available. Yet he cannot get a game even when they aren't

    I agree, he's had a good season. I've improved Brook.

    I like it. Means you can have impact as the manager right from the start.

    I think Sam Abbott needs batting & bowling upgrade I assume you mean Sean Abbott? I've improved him with the bat, bowling ability looks fair.
