Okay, I thought I'd start this up now. There are a few players who can be classified as more than one thing pretty much equally, so I thought I'd give people a choice as to what they wanted these players to do. In some cases it'll effect their simming averages - in some, not so. You can change these at any time.. just give me proper notice when you name your lineup or whatever or I'll change it the database. Oh, and FTR: "top order batsman" = 1-3; "middle order batsman" = 3 or below Kumar Sangakkara - wicket keeper or specialist batsman Ricky Ponting - medium bowler or off spin bowler Sachin Tendulkar - leg spin bowler or medium bowler or off spin bowler Abraham De Villiers - specialist batsman or wicket keeper Abraham De Villiers - top order batsman or middle order batsman Younis Khan - medium bowler or leg spin bowler Andrew Symonds - medium bowler or off spin bowler Shane Watson - top order batsman or middle order batsman Rahul Dravid - top order batsman or middle order batsman Tillekeratne Dilshan - off spin bowler or wicket keeper Phil Hughes - wicket keeper or specialist batsman Paul Collingwood - medium bowler or off spin bowler Fawad Alam - middle order batsman or top order batsman Herschelle Gibbs - middle order batsman or top order batsman Jacque Rudolph - top order batsman or middle order batsman Ian Bell - middle order batsman or top order batsman Andrew Hall - middle order batsman or top order batsman James Hopes - middle order batsman or top order batsman Martin van Jaarsveld - off spin bowler or medium pace bowler Michael Vaughan - middle order batsman or top order batsman Mathew Sinclair - middle order batsman or top order batsman Steve Tikolo - off spin bowler or medium bowler Dale Benkenstein - off spin bowler or medium bowler Dominic Thornely - off spin bowler or medium bowler Dominic Thornely - middle order batsman or top order batsman Simon Katich - top order batsman or middle order batsman I'm flexible on changing others' batting positions if they've batted where you want to move them to before, but as I said, it'll probably effect their simming averages (although not by as much as the sim seems to do if you just bat someone out of position completely, so it's worth changing).
Will this be applied to Katich, also? I'd say I'll be batting him at 3, so it won't matter what he's classified as, but I wouldn't mind knowing anyway.
Yeah, I don't know how Katich got left out of that. And it could matter in theory as he could get one simming average for one and one for the other.
Haha yeah. He can keep wicket too but I'd say there's roughly 0% chance of you dropping Haddin and giving the gloves to one of your best bowlers.
