Not sure if many people use this simulator: Cricket Web - Games & Downloads: Virtual Cricket
I personally like it because it calculates the results of games based on player statistics, not just a 'rating' system. It's biggest flaw is that it calculates games instantly, so you can't enjoy any commentary or influence the result in any way, another issue is that the run rates of batsman aren't implemented as far as I know (although I haven't experimented at all with strike rate statistics), this makes ODI simulations a little unrealistic (at least by modern standards). Anyway, enough of that.
The game, while a good simulator, only came with the 2001 test and ODI squads, it seems the game hasn't really been kept up to date by anyone though, leaving it a bit out of date.
I'll be posting VirtualCricket4 squads in this thread for use in simulations, the goal is to have databases for every year of cricket for domestic and international competition. To use a database, simply import the notepad file while running VC4 and away you go (to play t20 games simply set the amount of overs to 20 when starting a new game). (The 1989 domestic county squads and 2008 test squads were written by someone else, I can't remember where I got it, but credit to whoever that is for them).
Again, not sure if there's any interest in this simulator, but requests are more than welcome.
