    International Selections in the game

    Your team-by-team analysis is pretty interesting. Once you get into these statistics, it's hard to get out... Anyway, here's my international batting analysis of Australia in all formats (min. no. of innings for qualification=5). I've included the number of matches played in that format as...

    International Selections in the game

    Ok, here goes... These are the ten best batsmen by international format, again I've included their age and averages (minimum of 5 innings in that format to qualify): Test: Uwe-Karl Birkenstock (SA) (23) (97.57) Brad Hodge (AUS) (38) (55.89) Ricky Ponting (AUS) (38) (55.09) Kumar Sangakkara...

    International Selections in the game

    Yeah, but irl he has a FC bowling avg of 42.94 from 18 matches (at age 22), so maybe it's not a bug but he's just done flukily well for my Australia team? Anyway, if you compare my team to the current Aussie sides (my game is only 8 months ahead), it seems the game's predictions are not all...

    Here is a bit more detail on my Team first-the brackets are age, then Test batting avg., then Test bowling avg if they have one: Test: Phillip Hughes (24) (52.40) Simon Katich (37) (49.14) (37.43) Michael Clarke (31) (54.31) (44.73) Mike Hussey (37) (49.44) (63.50) Marcus North (33)...

    International Selections in the game

    It's really interesting to see how the game picks their teams compared to RL, but their selections are obviously flawed (e.g. they continue to pick players even if they've been playing v.badly whereas a human would just choose a replacement) I'm playing as Australia in my ICC 10 save (the...

    How are you doing in ICC? (any version)

    Wow, Watson is never a rock for me-he can play well but never scores slowly, always plays a flashy innings and gets out. I'm also currently playing the West Indies in a series on my Australia save (just demolished them 5-0 in the Tests, one of my best ever results) but my lineup and theirs were...

    How are you doing in ICC? (any version)

    The 4th innings scores you can get in this game are ridiculous. Here's proof: West Indies set us 417 to win in the 4th innings, the pitch state was Sharp Turn with Uneven Bounce and West Indies have two of the best spin bowlers in the world (in ICC 2010) Imran Khan and Nikita Miller, as well...

    ICC future features

    I just realised that the spin directions are wrong for left-arm spinners (I think they're fine for right-armers). Slow left-armers spin the ball from off to leg (according to the ball-tracker) but it should be the opposite-from leg to off. Left-arm chinamen probably spin it from leg to off...

    Australian Youngsters

    Hi, yeah I'd definitely be interested in seeing yours, can't wait in fact :D Ponting did rubbish for me at the start, I thought it may be just form so dropped him and brought him back in later but he didn't improve...so I guessed that he was past it and haven't picked him since. Haddin...

    Australian Youngsters

    I'm currently in my 3rd season with Australia on ICC 2010. This is a list of the 11 players who have been most useful/performed the best for me up till now (might be helpful or interesting to somebody) In order of decreasing usefulness/performance quality with their respective skill (which they...

    What's your favourite form?

    Was wondering whether people prefer playing Tests, One Day matches or 20Twenties (in ICC)? Personally I love Tests, I really take my time while playing them and it's really fun-lots more factors to take into account and analyze, batting is definitely more enjoyable than bowling, of course...

    How are you doing in ICC? (any version)

    Just went through a whole day of Test cricket without losing a wicket, which I think is the first time I've done that. Simon Katich rode his luck a little bit, but Phillip Hughes batted sublimely as always, to finish on 325 for 0 after the first day. A special thanks should also go out to...

    Following on is seriously flawed

    This has definitely happened to me quite a few times as well, I agree with the OP.

    Australian Youngsters

    Yeah, maybe that's why, but it's strange 'cos he was playing awesome for me, averaging about 26 with the ball in ODIs. Some of the other players which other people have mentioned as doing well for them have done pretty shite for me-for example, John Hastings (though outstanding in ODIs)...

    Australian Youngsters

    Thanks! Hauritz is awful for me, even Khawaja and Smith haven't done very well. I was bowling Cameron Boyce as my spinner-but then he strangely disappeared from the game, must be a glitch. Any other advice (from anyone) is more than welcome too.

    Australian Youngsters

    Hi, I'm managing Australia on ICC 2010, just wondering if anybody has any good Aussie youngsters to suggest? I'm struggling to replace the old hats, I've tried Trent Copeland and Luke Feldman, and a 20 yr old batsman called Mitch Marsh but surprisingly they haven't done too well, the only...

    4th Innings

    Hi, just wondering if other people who play this game also get ridiculously high scores in the 4th innings. I'm managing Australia on normal level and on day 4/5 pitches teams keep registering really high scores (including my team). Just recently, New Zealand chased down 255 for the loss...
