International Cricket Manager Career - Oversees Players Draft

[Batman]

INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS DRAFT

PLEASE READ THIS THREAD BEFORE MAKING PICKS

So this is how it works. Managers will take it in turns to pick players for their teams. One turn = one pick. The first round order will be first come, first serve and second round will be reversed. Manager should state the draft number, username of the player they are picking and post in bold whilst using their designated colour.

Note: This thread will be updated as often as possible so please don't start moaning and saying please update the thread.

Only 3 oversees players allowed in the squad. Minimum squad size is 14 and maximum squad size is 18.

P.S. Don't wait on me guys, when it's your turn, just make your pick (but do make sure it is your turn).

[Firebreaker]

What is this?

 

[Batman]

What is this?

Pick players for your team, which is England I guess.

 

[The_KING]

Can we only pick players who are currently playing or can we also pick retired players too?

 

[Firebreaker]

Which players can we pick?

 

[Batman]

You can pick both of them.

 

[Batman]

Which players can we pick?

Current or retired players.

 

[Firebreaker]

My first pick is Sam Curran

 

[The_KING]

My first pick is Brian Charles Lara

 

[Azzurri]

Where are the usernames ? and if i understood correctly we can pick any player from any team regardless of their nationality

 

[Azzurri]

is it my turn ? [MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION]

 

[Firebreaker]

No

 

[Azzurri]

My pick [MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION] Don bradman

 

[The_KING]

So my team is Sri Lanka does that mean that I can only pick Sri Lankan current and past players? [MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION]

 

[Batman]

Only 4 oversees players alowed in the squad.

 

[The_KING]

Ok that's great thanks. So Brian Lara is my first overseas player.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Wait [MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION], are we supposed to pick players that are already in the sim? Or can we pick any player? And they are going to have contracts?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Ok this doesn't make sense, why would you have oversees players for national teams?

 

[Watsupdoc]

My First pick is Jacques Kallis

 

[Azzurri]

Ok this doesn't make sense, why would you have oversees players for national teams?

I think its a good idea to have overseas players to balance the teams

 

[Watsupdoc]

I think its a good idea to have overseas players to balance the teams

Well if we are using the averages that the sim already has, then yes. But even then I think 4 overseas players is too much. Max should be like 2 or if stretching it than 3.

However, if we are going to be allocating contracts, then there is no need for overseas players.

surely , this must be the case here

 

[Batman]

Wait [MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION], are we supposed to pick players that are already in the sim? Or can we pick any player? And they are going to have contracts?

Any player. No contracts. Sim already have skill of each player.

 

[Batman]

Alright, 3 oversees players alowed in the squad.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Any player. No contracts. Sim already have skill of each player.

Alright. However, is Don Bradman in the database? I don't think he was from the list you and Jeetu provided last time. If that's the case, isn't Azzurri's pick invalid?

 

[Batman]

Will check with jeetu, let's see if we can have that.

 

[Azzurri]

Will check with jeetu, let's see if we can have that.

Without Don this game is invalid

 

[Azzurri]

That directory is very limited even they guys like sehwaq and gambhir aren't present there . you should atleast add ovearsead players manually [MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION]

 

[EngrOmair]

[The_KING]

[Azzurri]

[Faiz]

Give a manager about 2 hours to make pick if he doesn't in that time let other 7 managers make a pick turn by turn then give him 2 picks on his turn.

 

[umer187]

My first overseas player would be Wasim Akram

Pls explain what is this all about??

 

[Azzurri]

It's very simple . You have a team let's suppose Pakistan . You are allowed to pick 4 overseas players (anyone you wish retired or current ) and others players should be from your team Pakistan and again you can choose any one who played for Pakistan [MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION] right ?

[Watsupdoc]

South Africa's third pick - Draft pick #18 - Allan Anthony (AA) Donald

 

[Azzurri]

[MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION] I think after this overseas quota finished we should be allowed to select all of our national team players at once and submit the squad ? [MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION] [MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION]

I agree. Once everyone's overseas quota is over, people should just pick their national team players.

[MENTION=40952]Batman[/MENTION] However, before people can pick and submit their full squads, wait for every team to pick their overseas players in this draft.

Ambrose,Marshall,Haynes,Lloyd,Gayle,Kallicharan,Richards...................................

 

[WC-Passion]

Also is the sim updated to the year 2015 or is it 2012?

It would give me an idea of who to pick.

They still have some good players like Holder,Russell,Bravos,Simmons in their team

It might be 2015 because I selected Sam Curran who is just 16
