I just found this game a couple of days ago after being so frustrated with Cricket 07, and it's one of the best I've ever played.

Anyway, here is a screen of one of the first tests I played (had one against Bangladesh I think), and I still can't stop thinking about how awesome it was, especially the last two days.
I've jumped straight in on the normal difficulty too for what it's worth.

I didn't get to start my second innings until late on day 4, so I figured a draw was on the cards. Jacques, Hayden and Ponting got me off to a great start though, and my bowlers tore through them in under 5 hours. I was celebrating every wicket more than in real life

Wow good start mate. Have you seen icc 3 around, its the newest version and it has a 3d highlights engine. Great game.

Good to see Lee performs well for you, i tell ya he struggles for me.

 

[KingCJ]

I got 190 with Dizzy once against Pakistan.

Thanks man, having some trouble in the limited overs game though.

I haven't seen 3, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for it. Should be sick.

Lee bowls pretty damn solid for me, maybe a little expensive sometimes but always seems to take that crucial wicket every time I bring him on for another spell, especially if S Clark and Bracken (just bought him in to bowl full-time) or some spinners have been keeping the run rate low.

I'm a bit disappointed in Gilly, Symonds and Hussey's batting so far.. Hussey's good, but slow and sucks at opening. Symmo bowls fairly tidy though so that makes up for his ~12 or so average.

Cheers man.

...entered Belgium in the 2007 World Cup.
They're performing exactly as can be expected

After a win against Kenya we went down vs Canada... just couldn't match their run rate, exit World Cup

If Symmo's bowling does drop, i recommend picking Watson, hes probably in contention for best all-rounder in 06 so hes defo worth a punt. IIRC he bowls very tidy and is more than handy with the willow.

Yeah, every now and then Lee does damage for me but he just doesn't do it when i need it. Bit of a front runner in my file.

 

[Sedition]

Yeah Watson is awesome, he's not much of a wicket taker for me though, but he's good enough to kill the time until my strikers come back on, and he bats like a demon. I ended up sacrificing Tait instead of Watson for Bracken because of the batting, but I'll probably rotate based on form/injuries.

Shame about Lee's performance for you, I missed him the couple of times he's been injured in my game, but discovered how good Bracken was in the process. Lee's very handy for cleaning up the tail, or wiping out a set batsmen early in his next spell.

 

[rumblah]

I haven't found Watson to be of much use yet in ICC3, but i'll keep trying him... For me, Voges goes great as does Hilfenhaus.

 

[Cricketdude]

The other match i won by an innings and 642 runs if you want to find that its in the records forum.

A HAT-TRICK IN THE NICK OF TIME....

A.Sunny runs thru Kent

(Playing as Surrey-2016 season )

This was the last of the group match in the Twenty20. The result of which wouldnt have hampered my progress into the quarter-finals. On a Bowler friendly track my team Surrey could manage only 133/7.

Chasing 134, Kent were cruising along at 84/3 after 13 overs, on course for a win with 50 reqd. from 7 overs with 7 in hand. At this stage, A.Sunny got a Hat-trick as he got rid of R.Key, F.Hossain, G.Cooper & also a ball later got rid off the dangerous looking J.Brown. Kent collapsed to 85/7 after 14 overs.

Sunny wasnt finished yet. In his final over, he got rid of K.Leigh & J.Mount, thus finishing with 6-21.
Finally J.Hoggart claimed the final wkt & they got bowled out for 101 which meant their last 7 wkts fell for just 17.

Funny thing is, the pitch report said - No Help for Spin.

Damn...feeling down & out...after going all the way into the Finals of the 20-20 & posting a score of 183....I choked in the end...

I think I got a bit over-confident after getting that 183 & before I knew what was happening they had raced to 70 in 7 overs...by the time I could realise it was too late!!! ( screenshot - )
