    Cricketing siblings and their performances

    So I was reading today's Cricinfo "All today's yesterday" column and saw how Mark Waugh replaced Steve Waugh in the test side back in '91. Eventually, of course, the two played together for a very long time. Steve will most likely go down in history as the better player over all, but it's no...

    ICC 1 invincibles

    I was just thinking back to the days when I used to play ICC1 and was wondering if this ever happened to anyone before... I was playing as Warwickshire, and must've been at around 2008 or something (the game started in 1997) so my team was mostly new faces by this time. I got a new wicketkeeper...

    Ways to effectively use practice and technique

    What are some ways people use batting practice and batting technique in ICC 2008? I used to play 2002 for the longest time and it was quite simple in that. I'd give my 4 bowlers a bowling practice and my 4 best batsmen batting practice and just roll with that. Now with 2008 I'm trying to take...

    Selecting in ICC 2008

    So I just got ICC 2008 after playing 2002 for the last 5 or 6 years and understandably a lot of names are new to me. I was wondering what is a good policy when selecting players? For example, I started out with India playing international on easy mode. In the beginning, I began with Zaheer...

    Your favorite county team

    Most of us have an obvious favorite international team that we support - but I was wondering what people's favorite county teams were and in which version of ICC. My current version of ICC is 2002 (yes, I know lol). Before that, I played ICC 1 for a very very long time back when you couldn't...

    Tips for bowling effectively (ICC 2002)

    So bowling has usually been the least interesting part of my ICC playing... usually I set a certain aggression (1 less than max for tests and half-way for ODIs) and I bowl 2 fast bowlers in tandem for about 7-8 overs each and then I bowl 2 spinners in tandem for about 20-25 overs each and repeat...

    My new Bradman...

    Just thought I'd share this... :happy: It's ICC 2002 so Pieterson was just about starting his FC career and hadn't yet made his England debut... I hadn't played ICC for about 2 years before today, just felt like owning some face. So to be entirely fair, it's not a 100% honest performance...

    Watching cricket at the ground

    I've always wondered about watching cricket matches at the ground. I've been an ardent cricket fan for over half of my lifetime but sadly I've only been to one cricket match. (Used to live in Hyderabad where we didn't have too many games and then moved to the US.) That one match I did go to...

    The reason Indian bowlers are the way they are

    This is a question that I've wondered about and would like to hear other peoples' thoughts on. I'm very stats-oriented and whenever someone says, "oh, he was a good bowler" or "he was a great batsman," I immediately search the player's profile and see for myself. And although it's true as people...

    If you had to pick one player...

    If you had to pick one player out of the current pool of international cricketers to be on your dream team who would it be? I would pick Glenn McGrath. Y'know, I don't mind bowling to Sachin Tendulkar or Brian Lara or facing Shoaib Akhtar, but I *do* mind facing Mr. McGrath. So I'd like him on...

    Jayasurya done..

    I just read over at cricketweb.net that Jayasurya is stepping down and Atapatu will probably take his place :wow: Jayasurya is probably Sri Lanka's most successful captain (not considering WCs) as in 2002 he lead them to 10 consecutive victories :wow: And overall, also he's won more matches...

    India v Kenya semifinal

    India looking good at 193/2 in 40.4 overs. I wonder if they can notch up 300...:yawn:

    Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe

    What think you of this game! Atapatu is da man! :wow: Just like him to carry his bat...quite a knock indeed. :P SL play the Aussies in the semis now :wow: Well, I guess that's the last we'll ever see of the Great Andy Flower :(
