Oh boy! All right, first things first: as I have already said in my initial post, those are the teams you guys get. The whole game is to deduce given these teams, which one will accrue the most points. And of course the most points come by the actual performance of the players in the ICC WC.
Also we wanted to pick players from a lot of different teams as opposed to just a few subcontinent ones. Hence you may not see all the players that you want to. Furthermore, I needed to average out the skills of the players based on their current ICC rankings. So there can't be a team with all the best ranked players...it has to even out.
In regards to Afridi being there more than once, well it wasn't a conscious decision however 1-2 Pakistani players did need to be included, and given the current games, he is Pakistan's best hope. So it's actually a good thing for the team that he is included in. If you think no Pakistani player should have been included, then I'm sorry but we needed to try and represent players from all sides.
Finally once again, these are just 4 teams hence they will be missing some good players. I'm sorry if I have excluded your favorite player(s) but it wasn't a deliberate decision. Trust me, it wasn't easy picking teams! Please understand that this is what you get, and all you need to do is decide which combo of players will perform the best in this WC.
I will soon update the current player and team points as well as the supporters list. Have fun and I hope this clarifies any issues you guys had. Cheers!
P.S. A big thank you to all those who appreciated the post and the game. I worked hard for this and updating it continuously will also require a bit of time. I hope people can focus on the game rather than who is and who isn't included. Thanks.
