The planned transfers interface is terrible and it's very easy to stuff up selecting powerplayers or making transfers for the wrong game. I transferred Dale Steyn out just before South Africa's first game rather than scheduling it for the next game like I intended.

Actually its pretty simple, if you transfer players normally it takes effect for the next game, if you schedule ahead it takes effect for the game after next. Not sure how you can mess that up

FYI Afghanistan v Scotland is ending and is pretty close. Tune in now to catch the end. They need 12 from 10 balls.

edit: also, 1 wicket remaining. Afghanistan need 5 from 6 now.
