How are you doing in ICC? (any version)
- Thread starter Sureshot
- Start date
specially in bowling.........
I skipped the first few seasons because originally I was just going to see how long it took to get some decent regens, and I think in that time we won one Test against Aussie by two wickets and no ODIs, but I decided to play the WC and see how good we were.
We started off with a loss to Pakistan, but came back to beat the UAE and the knocked WI out of their own WC and qualify for the Super 8s. And then all of a sudden we just couldn't lose, in one match we chased down over 300 against SA, and the only match in the Super 8s we ended up losing was against Bangladesh of all teams.
We then got revenge on Pakistan in the semis, tbh pretty easily in the end, so we'd won 8 of our last 9 games against top teams. We only ended up chansing a bit over 200 in the final against India, but as it turns out we couldn't repeat our Super 8 win over them, and lost by like 10 runs.
I'm up to 2010 now I think, and I've started playing every game. Most of the time we draw Test series' 1-1, and win the ODI series' 2-1. I've only had one decent regen though, and most players are aging, so if we don't get any over the next couple of seasons things aren't going to be looking too good.

I'm back playing ICC2006, simply because I think it's the best game they made. However, I am now a bit miffed. I'm in the second season, just after the world cup and looking forward to having my strongest side available. I picked a Sri Lanka spinner who's never played Internationals, so had him for the start of the season during the World Cup. However, start of June and he's gone on International duty. I thought, fair enough, he's a good player, but I didn't think Sri Lanka were playing in England that year. Turns out, they just have a home series at the start of August. Two full months seems a bit extreme to call him up before hand.

Ok i have a question. I am playing ICC3 on my PSP - how do you break partnerships? When I'm owling at the AI it would always seem that a couple of early wicket falls and then somehow they manage a really big partnership out of the blue... until decleration, on most occastion.
I have tried everything literally. Changing field setting, diffrent line and length etc nothings working.

Well I've found my old copy of ICC 2002 on another computer and brought it over to my current PC. I've loaded up my favourite save of all time, that of Zimbabwe.
We are in the 2014-15 season, just having lost to Sri Lanka 2-1 but won the ODI series 3-2. Hamilton Masakadza is a run machine at this level...from his puny amount of Tests (57) he is the leading run scorer with 5818 and 17 centuries and 25 half centuries. He is only 31 at this stage so he has a few more years of profligate run scoring. He loves the English, scoring 700 plus in a 4-0 whitewash to Zimbabwe and from memory he has three doubles against them. Unfortunately I don't have the old fixtures (didn't save them but wrote them down somewhere).
Mark Vermeulen is the captain and after three or so years of mediocre performances, he turned it around. He averaged 34 from his first 50 odd innings. From the next 45 he averaged nearly 50. He is 35 and has shown a decline in skills so it may be his last season. Handy offspinner as well.
Due to the poor representation in the game of Zimbabwean players (how many players are of playing age and don't have a club???) players to come through are thin on the ground. Only two of the regular players chosen are under 30 and one of them has been inconsistent, so after a period of not quite domination but good performances it will be an interesting time.
Bowling wise its led by Ian Engelbrecht who is a spinning guru. From 51 Tests he has 333 wickets. Unfortunately he is now 34, though still performing well. Has three times come close to claiming 50 wickets in a season despite limited matches. Averages 18 with the ball in ODI's. At least on the bowling front the current generation seems a bit better with Nathan Byrne, a 22 year old and T Clapton who is 20. Zimbabwe have got some good service from a medium trundler, Clayton Fuller (I often make up the first names in absence of them). Our leading paceman in the post Heath Streak era is Nicolaus Yau, who was once one of the worst players ever to play Test cricket with an average over 100 before he came good and now averages 38 from 23 Tests (66 wickets).
We are currently ranked 3rd in the Tests and ODI's. Masakadza is ranked 2nd in the Tests behind some South African plodder and Vermeulen is ranked 6th. Its interesting looking at the averages of some of these players and currently Zimbabwe has seven who average over 40. The Windies have one, one for Sri Lanka (who has played just four Tests...nobody else averages over 30), none for RSA, Pakistan, New Zealand (who have the worst averages I've ever seen in this game haha), India (Sehwag and Baji are still plodding along), England and one for Australia. It does make for sorry reading.
Bowling wise its massively different, as if its basically a game weighted towards the bowlers. The leading wicket taker currently is Baji with 692 wickets at 20.09, with Danish Kaneria behind at 502 at 19.47, a trundler called Kashif Raza with 433 at 20.43, Justin Kemp of RSA with 433 at 23.98, Ashish Nehra of India with 386 at 24.58, Richard Dyke for Australia with 376 at 22.82 and Mohammed Sami of Pakistan with 370 at 21.47. Pretty much sums it up really; the bowling is so good that the batsmen just cannot cope haha.
Sorry about the Wall O' Text but thats pretty much it.

My quest? To take this enormously bloated and sub-standard squad and not finish last, and thereby prove that quantity isvery occasionally better than quality.
