Top 10 batsmen should be the only people allowed to post in this thread. You're either top 10 or you're nothing.
What happened was that everyone who played a CricSim game now has a ranking, not just contracted players.
Oh right...so now people who have played one game have a better ranking than me? Despite my 2 magnificent 50s
Nah. It's just that people who didn't have contracts used to be removed from the list, but now they're not. So it's people like %MR Hayes who are suddenly ahead of you.
Is that just because it's off-season/about to be off-season now and once the season starts up again it'll be back to just contracted people?
There will be lots of uncontracted people actually playing next season so I'm going to include them all on the list.
I imagine a fair few will find their way into second grade too, and I wouldn't be all that surprised if a couple played a bit of first grade with the new rules either. The reason uncontracted players used to be removed was to prevent players with good rankings who weren't playing just sitting on their good rankings. But everyone with a decent ranking will be playing next season so we might as well just see them move up/down.
