All time ODI Draft

Is it possible to use the International Cricket Captain series to sim a game? They are the only commercial cricket sim/management game I know of that does this sort of thing.

Used to be an infuriating game I remember playing quite a few years back.
Wasted many hours playing this when I was younger. Loved it!
 
NM/Prath vs Mani:

7 Match Series: NM wins a very close series 4-3. Margins of victory in this series were 5 runs, 43 runs, 1 wicket, 3 wickets, 3 runs, 1 wicket, 7 runs. Both teams with very strong bowling attacks, Roberts in particular with spells of 30-5 and 33-5. Lamb with the only century.

1000 Match Sim: NM/Prath - 216/6, Mani - 203/7. Mani's batting isn't bad, but Andy Roberts is just too good.

Lol. Screw the threads. Let's just do this. :p

But only if everyone agrees our team is 1st and the rest are just fighting for 2nd and 3rd.
 
Nope, turns out that thing doesn't even run on any OS newer than Win XP. Plus, it never accounted properly for batsman SR and bowler econ, so I'm much happier with this.
You actually wrote this program ? With Visual Studio ? Damn, that's impressive. Then I am very sure there will API's for you to pull from Cricinfo.
 
VP vs Boycott:

7 Match Series: VP wins 4-3. Although the series was very close, none of the matches were. Three games were decided by a team being bowled out for a sub-200 score. Taylor and de Kock the century makers. Waqar Younis best spell of 26-5.

1000 Match Sim: VP - 216/7, Boycott - 210/6. Very close. VP's bowlers are quite parsimonious, making any significant total very difficult to chase down.

@Akshay
Le Chuck vs TMH:

7 Match Series: TMH won 6-1. Chuck's team often built a very solid platform but had no one to come in and really take advantage of it. Dippenaar and Gambhir with centuries.

1000 Match Sim: TMH - 232/7, Chuck - 219/6. Chuck could really use another pinch hitter.
For some reason I thought TMH was the manager.
 
Top all rounders during his peak!

We'll use the same venues as the test draft because I can't be arsed to change anything.

1. Melbourne
2. Colombo
3. Kolkata
4. Karachi
5. Barbados
6. Lords
7. Cape Town
8. Wellington

https://www.random.org/sequences/?min=1&max=16&col=2&format=html&rnd=new

Your numbers are in the OP (i.e. the order of your draft pick - so 1. TMH-Harshad 2. Aldo-Varun).

The venues are assigned according to the order the pairs come out. So the first pair get Melbourne, second pair get Colombo etc.

I also can't be arsed with individual tosses for each match, so whoever's number comes out first in a pair has won the toss.

Get some poor neutral fecker to click on that link for us, and post the results once the drafting is finished.

@Donaldo could you help us with this?

Or any other neutral reading this for that matter.
 
Surprised no one went for Sunil Narine. One heck of an average and Econ, even if it was with an illegal action.
 
KM vs PaulScholes @ Melbourne
Skills vs MJJ @ Colombo
Harshad vs VP @ Kolkata
NM vs EAP @ Karachi
Red Viper vs Crappy @ Barbados
Skizzo vs RedTiger @ Lords
Boycott vs Samid @ Cape Town
Mani vs Aldo @ Wellington

Home teams have won all the tosses.
 
The Red Viper I think was very close to picking Narine but got a bit scared because of the reaction to Hafeez.
