Unfortunately not, I'm afraid - unless somebody knows how to covert a screenshot into raw data?

There was a bit of work to set things up to start with, plus then to run, save and share the matches. I've managed to find a way to make it easier to create the squads for each upcoming round - so annoying the game makes you start with the team's current squad in each game mode!

Only Aus v Zim has been uploaded yet

I was checking you could access the link.

ah!

well in that case, yes

I will update the NZ v Pak results tomorrow after work, plus a full table at the end of Round 1.

Have a think about your second round teams. Fixtures here:

Thanks Ian.

Australia thrash Zimbabwe 5-0 with Bradman scoring a mountain of runs. Who saw that coming?

Thanks Ian.

What's Bradman's strike rate in T20, though? ... until then the jury is out on his test career, he might just be a bit too one-dimensional.

Ed Smith understands these things

when do you plan to run the 2nd series, Ian and will I get the chance to have a look at the first series scorecards so I can have a look at who is doing the business for me and who isn't? (I realise that my being a twaddlephobe is making your life more difficult, and I apologise)

If the second round is loaded, is there any info on playing conditions for the first match? (I think conditions stay the same for all 5 in the series)

so many questions, Ian... sorry

Only just in from work - so I don't think I'll be updating anything this evening. Sorry.

1. My current intention is to run the second round at the start of this long weekend.

2. Yes, I'l definitely upload the first round results to Flickr in plenty of time.

3. I cannot load any round until I have the teams - I could, however, run a dummy series between the countries in advance to get the conditions, then post them prior to managers making their selections.

I'll go with the consensus on 3

Although I couldn't guarantee they would be the same for the next series, you might expect the game to have some kind of correlation...

I'm happy to take my chances. In my head they will be typical local conditions so I'll pick accordingly.

So I won't be bring Wee Davie back for a tour of SL.

In fact this is my team:

Morris...Warner
Hayden...Warner
Bradman...Border
Smith...Border
Waugh...Border
Miller...Border
Gilchrist...Haddin
Warne...Border
Iversen...Davidson
Grimmett...Davidson
McGrath...Davidson...Lillee...Lindwall...Harris

Grimmett, Waugh in for Davidson, Border.

thanks for your work Ian. I'm happy to take my chances too

Me too.

Is it possible to post full scorecards for the games? I probably won't make any changes, but would be good to see if a couple of ones I was on the fence about should be changed.

Aus then WI. I have tough assignments front up.

Also, that declaration
