Haha, damn and because it's a picture I can't go in and edit it. Yeah, it's Surrey :( I like to rush a little too much methinks

Gloucestershire strike again Batty hits four of his 81 runs Just three games into his coaching career, Michael Diamond has led Gloucestershire to three consecutive wins, this time picking up another FP t20 win over Surrey, thanks to a literally smashing 81 from veteran wicket-keeper...

Two-from-two for Diamond Gloucestershire have won their second match under new coach Michael Diamond, this time their twelfth game in the Friends Provident t20 Championship, also marking their second win in the competition. Solid performances with ball and bat ensured a comfortable win for...

I actually spent about three hours trying to get the bloody thing perfect, lol. I think the only way to have it perfectly perfect is in Courier New. Results of the Kent game up tonight!

Yeah it is, it's what I based it off :)

Yeah, it's quite strange, Hamish Marshall was the default captain of Gloucestershire; I had to sack him and then name Alex Gidman as skipper. Hamish Marshall also magically became captain for the second innings :D. I think there's just a major flaw in the leadership section. And Franklin came...

Diamond's career off to sizzling start Just one day after signing on as Gloucestershire's new head coach, Michael Diamond has led them to their first County Championship victory for the season, and quite a convincing one at that. The match was over within three days, and while neither team was...

Yeah, I will be doing what I did in the previous story, with the results of each round going up with the write-up of the match I played. I'm not so sure about International round-ups, maybe just the major things like the World Cup and the Ashes, like I did before... it just seems I'd be bogging...

LV= County Championship Division Two Derbyshire (4-2-4) v Gloucestershire (0-4-6) With no wins so far in the County Championship, Gloucestershire parted ways with former coach John Bracewell and hired rookie Michael Diamond, who takes charge of a team in horrible shape. With four delistings...

Washington Eagles for me. Too bad they're 0-2 and failed to win a practice match :D

Diamond faces the press An amiable Michael Diamond faced the press today, not hesitating to answer questions about his approach to the team, highlighting players he will be targeting in the short- and long-term. "Coming to the club I noticed we had depth in all-rounders, but not enough...

My real name is Brent, I'm just using the name Michael Diamond for the purposes of this story. I think it helps build a character around the coach without thinking I'm basing it off myself. Thanks for the recs, I'm actually in the market for younger players, and Malan and Northeast fit the bill...

This post will change as the team's roster is changed over time. Coach: Michael Diamond Captain: Alex Gidman ----- Batsmen Chris Dent Alex Gidman Hamish Marshall Paul Morton Chris Taylor All-Rounders Michael Deakin Robert Ferley Will Gidman Jack Taylor Robert Woodman Wicket-keepers Chris...

All this talk of poor tactics, but the Gators only pulled in a victory with two balls to spare, and had eight wickets fall. The gameplan by Vettori was odd, sure, but his team only just fell short of a victory.

January 01, 2011 It is the start of a new year and the cricketing world is moving along strong. The Ashes are tied at 1-apiece, meaning an Australian victory in Sydney is imperative if they are to regain the tiny trophy. Andrew Strauss stunned the cricketing world with a massive 340 in the...

Backstory For those of you who were following my brief run with my story last time, you'll have read that the new patch for Cricket Coach wasn't compatible with old saves, thus my story had to be restarted. I quite enjoyed coaching Surrey, and I have been playing another game coaching Western...

Reminds me of a Twenty20 I had with Sri Lanka in CC11. We managed just 227 and they chased every single on of them down, but only went for a safe double on the last ball instead of the risky triple. We tied.

I'll be supporting the Western Waccas, but surely they could've chosen a better name?

Coming Soon: My story. Currently taking to the polls, I asked the readers what they'd like to see. Click here to visit the old thread, which was unfortunately canned due to a save game issue. Please vote in the poll, I'd like to give the readers what they want to read.

So it turns out the new update for Cricket Coach 11 isn't compatible with old saves, so I'm gonna have to start this one again I'm afraid. This time I'm going to start the game unemployed and try and work my way up the ranks. I'll create a new topic too, just to avoid confusion (hopefully)...
