Database Errors Thread

[aus5892]

Here you can report any database errors you have found, to be fixed in future updates.

One that I can report is that Andrew Johns appears for New South Wales - he was a Rugby League player who played a couple of Twenty20 games for fun, but he isn't an actual cricketer.

[MarksNotts]

Heres my Notts observations :
1) Simon Francis was released by notts last season, not sure where he is now.
2) Bilal Shafayat is reserve wicket keeper at Notts, and has kept many times before.
3) Darren Pattinson is not Kolpack, he was born in Grimsby and is English. He is also very underated in ICC2008, he is currently Notts leading wicket taker in the championship with 20wkts at 20.55 a piece including two 5wi hauls.
4) Andrew Harris(AJ)is a RFM bowler not RM.
5) Notts only have 2 kolpack players(how refreshing) Chris cairns and Andre Adams and they are for 20/20 only

Hope this helps.

Iain O'Brien is down as a RM, he was bowling at low-mid 80s during the Test(s) he played against England. Also, Billy Godleman should be down as an opener.

Missing upcoming Pakistani bowler named Muhammad Amir who was the part of Pak U19 team in the worldcup but couldnt play becuz of some injury.

Highly talented bowler clocking 87mph in just an early age of 16.


Another thing is Ahmed Shehzad (age :16) who is considered to be the next big thing coming from Pakistan(batting wise) is just a worse batsman in the game and he is considered only as a batsman despite a fact he is a very good leg spinner with variety.(although primarily as a opening batsman but with Afridisque bowling).

Amir hasn't played First Class Cricket, so thats why he's not in the game.

Same for Ahmed Shehzad.

Also, to correct facts, he didn't clock 87mph at 16, but it was actually 81mph at 16, which is still quite impressive

Richard Pryah of Yorkshire.

Game says he's an opening batsman, but if you look at Yorkshires games this year he has been batting at number 9, and is first change bowler.

Glamorgan:

1. Will Owen is a bowler and not an allrounder
2. Ben Wright is not an openin batsman, bats middle order

4. David Harrison has missing player data (averages)
5. Gareth Rees is an opening batsman
6. Ryan Watkins is an allrounder / bowler
7. Michael Powell is not an opening batsman
8. David Hemp should be down as an opener
9. Herschele Gibbs is with Glamorgan

Other Counties:

1. Tyron Henderson is missing from Middlesex roster

it was 86mph in England vs England and at that time he was 15 not 16. Recently he clocked 87mph.

if you dont believe it I can quote you to the forums with video proof but then it will be called advertising.

Really, it's irrelevant to the discussion. They aren't in the game because they haven't played FC Cricket.

Cullen Bailey is listed ingame as an opening batsmen, when he is a pure spin bowler.

[Mongrel]

I'll look through the Australian database for errors.

• Phil Hughes should be an opening batsman. Also could be listed as a part-time keeper.
• Darren Lehmann has retired.
• Michael Bevan has retired.
• Maybe make Hussey a pure middle order bat? I don't see him opening for Australia again barring mid-game injuries (maybe a possibility of adding an option of "part time opener" much like part-time keeper when an opener injures himself mid-game?)
• Luke Pomersbach is not an opening batsman.
• Justin Langer no longer plays domestic cricket or international in Australia.
• Greg Blewett has retired.
• Usman Khawaja should be an opening batsman.
• Liam Davis should be an opening batsman.
• Travis Birt rarely opens these days - if Cosgrove is a middle order batsman, Birt is as well.
• Darren Wates has retired.
• Brad Hogg has retired from international cricket (I think state as well).
• Steve Smith should be an all-rounder.
• Aiden Blizzard should be "very aggressive" or at least "aggressive".
• Brendan Nash is now qualified for the West Indies and doesn't play for QLD.
• Lloyd Mash should be an opener.
• Cameron Borgas should be a middle order batsman.
• For some reason Mitchell Johnson bats above Brad Haddin?
• Nathan Adcock is not an opening batsman.
• Daniel Harris should be an opening batsman.
• Beau Casson should be a chinaman not left-arm orthodox. I suppose there isn't an option for chinaman as the same thing happens for Hogg, Katich and Dave Mohammed? He's probably good enough to be classified as an all-rounder, but each to their own.
• Peter Worthington has retired.
• Jason Gillespie has retired from Australian cricket.
• Shawn Gillies should be an all-rounder.
• Mick Lewis has retired.
• Scott Coyte probably shouldn't be an all-rounder from what I've seen of him.
• Matty Inness has retired.
• Allan Wise now plays for Tasmania.

All of this would be a lot easier with a data editor, but I can dream.

Leicestershire notes

Harry Gurney is a fast bowler, but appears in my game as a batsman
Jim Allenby is an all-rounder, not an opening bat
Boeta Dippenaar is down as a batsman/wicket keeper (this might be right I guess, but it's the first time I've heard of him as a WK)

He apparently filled in for Boucher as keeper for one ODI against Sri Lanka in 2002 so I suppose that's right.

[Wildwil]

Ok I've got a couple of things to lay down regarding South Africa.

1. Dale Steyn never takes a wicket(his bowling needs to be improved).
2. Thandi Tshabalala is a good off spin bowler and not a batsman, you guys have said he is a batsman from 2006 version.
3.Albie Morkel is an aggresive batsman, not defensive like you guys say.(look at how he batted in the IPL).
4.Pieter Malan is not a defensive batsman, he is aggresive.
5. Francious du Plessis is an all rounder that bowl leg spin and opens the batting.
6. Why is Sybrand Engelbrecht not in the game, look at the cape cobras' website he is there(http://www.capecobras.co.za)
7. Boeta Dippenaar never keeps
8. Dean Elgar is also not defensive just normal
