How are you doing in ICC? (any version)

Just won an awesome test match in the 2013 (might be 2014, not sure) home ashes series. Going into Headingley it was 1-1 in the series, so i could do with a win, and with Harmison back the team definetly looked stronger than in the previous lost test. Australia batted first making just over 380 with a major contribution from Phil Jaques and Frank Speed (new opener, averages 29 :p). I then managed to get a lead of 20odd before being bowled all out. Australia were then skittled out for 236 leaving a chase of about 210. Anyway, with 197 on the board, Harmison gets out, leaving Jimmy Anderson and Monty Panesar at the crease. 9 to win, Watson to Panesar, edged behind, DROPPED by 3rd slip Michael Clarke. Then 2 overs after that, Jimmy Anderson duly abliged and knocked off the remaining 5 runs to win the test match by 1 wicket :D.
 
Must be 2013 due to the 4 year cycle.

I am in the final of the WC thanks to a 50 and 4-30 from Flintoff. I play India who are on fire. My bowlers are doing well, Rashid is back in form which is great.
 
I had India in that world cup final. I won pretty easily after 5-10 from Freddie in the final. Sehwag made 110 or so, but a magical spell from Freddie won me the game. Bat first and set a large total, always the best way of winning a final from my experience.
 
I'm playing with Northants, just had T20 finals day.
In the semifinal against Durham I won by two runs thanks to a magnificent last over by my West Indian allrounder Greaves and an even better penultimate over by 22yo Birch.
In the final I played Somerset who I had crushed by 75 runs in the group stage, but that was with my 3 internationals. Now Panesar, RMF Fullerton and batsman Cash were gone, so especially my bowling attack was weakened.
I posted 163 with a 65 from 42 by captain Robin, and 45 from Greaves.
Bowlingwise, Greaves went for 34 off 3 overs, so I let a parttimer bowl an over (15 runs...). Munday went for 39 off 4 overs as well.
The last three overs my remaining bowlers each had to bowl one over. 18 runs were required, 4 wickets remaining.
I started with Salvi: W ! 6 ! 1 ., 11 runs required,
Oulton (24yo LF): 1 1 1 1 ! ! 7 runs required,
then Birch (22 yo RF, who was the worst in that match - 1-25 off 3) had to bowl:
1 (mwah) x (wide, damnit!) 1 1 1 (oh oh one to tie, two to win) W (yeaahh!) and another single, but I had only lost 4 wickets and they had lost 7 so I win :)

Am currently 4th in my second season in CC div. 1, 4th in Challenge trophy which I had been in the final three years running, and first after 3 matches in the pro league div 1.
 
I think both Flint and Hancock should've got a joint MoM for that.

Ive just won the final and won the Challenge trophy and im miles ahead in the county championship but not going to good in the pro league.

Hancock plays for England but was lacking in fitness and i wasnt even sure of playing him but it worked out a treat. Heres a pic

Simmed through my first season of County Cricket as Hampshire because I wanted to start from this year. Doing alright, bought myself Mike Hussey and Shaun Tait as my oversees players as Warne has retired. My aim is to stick with this one team for as long as I can and take them to at least the year 2015.

Those are excellent stats!


In my Australia game I recently chased down 364 to beat South Africa by 7 wickets. I'm now 1-0 up after 2 games in a 5 match test series.
 
Lost the final to India, Sachin scored 57 off of 35 at the end of their innings and i fell short by 6 runs. Tres and KP hit 80s, Bell and Pettini hit 40s. I was only 2 down, but 280 was too much. 2011 summer is India and Pakistan touring, and India and New Zealand in the winter. I'm doubting Flintoff's place and whether I opt for the impressive Pettini (694 ODI runs at 51) in Tests, he kept well too.

In my Middlesex save I had a crisis of opening batsman. Joyce and Strauss were with England and Godleman has been awful all season. After scoring 46 from 21 opening in a T20 I gave Raymond Roberts an opening berth with Marcus North. He top scored in both innings, 81 in the first and 111 in the second. I lost the game however as my spinners didn't bowl well on a spinning pitch! Rare occurance on this game. Broad did well however with 6 wickets.
 
We just thrashed Netherlands in 2007 worldcup.

Here is the bowling card


Edit: This is Sureshot, the merge put them out of order.
1 is summary
2 is batting card
3 is bowling card
4 is over-by-over

Apologies Pavan.

Argh I'm so annoyed, I just lost in the last over by 4 runs, to South Africa, in my second test at the helm of England!!!
 
Won the third test of the series, almost made a meal of chasing just 161 in the fourth innings, Collingwood almost guided me to the finish but was bowled for 56.

Series is evenly poised at 1 - 1 heading into the fourth test.

Wow.
 
That sounds like an exciting series!

I lost the Ashes at home...
I didn't win the CB series...
I won the Tests against the Windies...
Lost the One dayers against them......
Missed out on the Semi Finals of WC...

Now Im up to the first Test of the SL summer, hoping to improve on a disastrous start to my Aussie career. My bowlers have been in TERRIBLE form. I think I might have to blood some new bowlers for me to play well.
