International cricket captain.

First topic message reminder :

anyone on here play international cricket captain, any of them?

batting letting me down at the moment though

General question if you buy it via download , if you remove it from your computer after a while do you have pay again for it the next time you download it?

No mate, you just log in and download again.

some of the umpiring decisions on the game are ridiclous

its tough being england as well as a county get back and find out county losing games :/..

The thing that annoyed me on the one i have is that i would have a select team/batting order, when i'm off with england the whole team would change around with people batting in stupid positions

I never manage both together, it just isn't practical.

i dont start with both of them i gain the national captaincy..

Yeah so do I, what I meant is that I always reject the offer of national captaincy.

ravi bopara's form is awful for my essex side

been a while since i played a test series with england on it though lol

Ravi Bopara is just awful

i need to get value for money, my signings arent working out as good as i hoped they would.

i did sign trott for essex but he hasnt worked out

just got the new version, didn't realise it would be so realistic Trescothick 128 in his first innings

liking the updated Somerset side

lol haha, my essex side still doing poor

still playing Bopara....?

Yes, probably why im losing

although im starting to see some improvement from him

what did he get to double figures....?

I started a game with Somerset, Kieswetter hit 177, 155*, 39 and 104 in his first 4 innings, not bad huh.

That would be a miracle by Ravi!

Kieswetter also scores big for me as well i generally bat him 4/5 in 4 day games

sped through 1 season just to see what if anything had changed, my team:

1)Trescothick
2)Lyth
3)Compton
4)Hildreth
5)Kieswetter
6) Trego
7) Buttler
8) Gregory
9) Parnell
10) Dockrell
11) Rankin

how has boyd rankin done?

I was playing Kieswetter as opener even in county games. He and Trescothick can get you off to a flyer.

I've never found Rankin to be very successful, has anyone else?

i have always scored runs against him when i played warwickshire

i signed azeem rafiq from yorkshire, and he has started well, with wickets in the 4 day stuff

Scott Borthwick has taken 119 wickets in a season for Durham.

really?

my line up places huge importance on my batting line up..

Yes really mate and that too on seam friendly pitches.
But my seamers have failed badly.

im just gonna rebuild my squad, and start again, bring in new talent, use youth players and see what happens

Can you do that mid-season?

i finished another season, shanky i have played a few seasons on it

If you want to win a season DROP BOPARA.

i have won a few seasons WITH him

Did he really contribute or was it because of the brilliance of the rest of your team?

I signed Bopara for my 3rd season with Warks...12, 8 and 86 in his first 3 innings...the jury is still out.

Trott is in my essex side nowadays, batting 3 meaning ravi now bats at 4

I find it funny how Ravi is awful even in virtual reality!

i dont, although i have a replacement for him coming in..

anthony mcgrath

i have glen chapple now in my esssex side lol.

sehwag is blowing teams away for my somerset team at the minute (2006 version) last season he ended up with average of 108 and scored over 2000 runs. got him and afridi this season so expect to win the 20/20, the one trophy that i keep failing at won it once in 5 seasons, always get through to semis then knocked out. always win when im chasing as bowlers can keep it quite tight but ruubbish at batting first, think im too agressive

i havent played 2006 for ages, i found playing limited overs cricket on it was very tough

started a new Somerset file, Trescothick's current first class average 568

All about the 2011 one now, although it hasn't changed much there are certainly more sixes being hit, which is about time in the shorter formats.

Trescothick on a serious roll for me, 6 games, 9 innings, 3 not outs and he's hit 1075 runs at an average of 179

Trescothick ended up hitting 2419 runs at an average of 98 in 4 day games

What mode Hodge? I find normal quite hard on the 2011 game
