Noticed a couple of days a ago that in-game Graeme Smith is retired from One-Day Internationals, whereas he's still playing them in real life (just not as captain).

Yep, when I made the change I found (reliable) information saying he was only going to be playing Tests.

Don't know if anything can be done about this but Wagner isn't available for NZ selection until April 2012 irl but is instantly selectable in the game, I am also pretty sure Kruger van Wyk doesn't qualify to play for NZ just yet either. Am guessing that these are probably unable to be remedied but thought I should mention in case.

Kruger is currently eligible, and there was no way around the Wagner situation

For international mode, we should be given a list of all the players that have retired at the end of each season.
Also why not have us notified of players due to retire so that for example, we can give that certain player a last match as captain of something?

I would love this, I certainly like to give my players a nice farewell, even if they are just a string of code. Also could be useful if you're trying to save end of career stats so you know when to do it.

Mitch Marsh is also missing in this database ..

He's not missing. It's more likely he gets dropped by WA after the first season.

I used him in the first season of my Young Australian's game.

Speaking of Mitchell Marsh. He should be an all-rounder and bowls around the same pace as Shane Watson.

Possibly the biggest over sight is Shane Watson not being an opening batsman!

No. It is common knowledge that for some reason there is no allrounder+opener option - so he is either an allrounder or an opener. Some people even still believe that his true batting position is three or four but that is a whole separate debate not suitable for this forum.

Here are some dubious consistencies with the AI selections I have observed and would like to share. Feel free to agree/disagree and add others.

-Luke Wright plays the 2011 home test series, but never the ODI's, and will get dropped after that test series and never play for England again.

-Eoin Morgan consistently performs poorly for England yet is consistently selected.

-Bairstow & Lyth will always debut in the winter 2011/12 season, but will always be dropped come the summer series no matter how well they performed.

I also agree about Nathan Lyon, I played him in tests for a season he averaged 35 and then he wasnt on the game for a season then re-appeared.

hey how about an add-on which tell when tell when a player retires !!
e.g : Many cricketer opt to retire after the recently concluded world cup while some are still playing regardless of their age Misbah is one Tendulkar is another while Dravid opt to retire from shorter format after 2mrw's game ..
i dont know rite now how it will work but surely if Admin work on it then it will be a nice n decent thing in the game to make it more realistic .. wat say ?

Dammika Prasad sri Lanka's fast bowler is completely missing from the database !!!

I'd like to see the odd kolpak regen too, it's not important, it'd just be interesting.

What about someone that has been a Kolpak but then gets selected for their country out of the blue therefore they have to give up their Kolpak status. That has happened in the past too

[ab5ides1]

In relation to this point, kolpak players should be eligible to play for England once they have played for 4 or 5 years in English county cricket. This happens quite often in real life.
