How are you going in International Cricket 2010?

Funnily enough Aces have Amir and Asif opening the bowling for them.

Funnily enough Aces have Amir and Asif opening the bowling for them.

They play for the Centurions on mine....

Anyway, Game 3 of my IPL

Burn 120/9 (20.0)

Centurions 121/0 (13.0)

Centurions win the match by 10 wickets


Means the table is as follows;

1.)Centurions- 6pts- 8.83 NRR
2.)Thunder- 6pts- 0.04 NRR
3.)Dragons- 4pts- 0.38 NRR
4.)Aces- 4pts- -0.65 NRR
5.)Burn- 4pts- -1.59 NRR
6.)Lizards- 2pts- -0.37 NRR
7.)Devils- 2pts- -1.97 NRR
8.)Wolves- 0pts- -1.17 NRR

Also the Dragons, Aces, Burn and the Lizards have played 4 games with the others only playing 3. My next game is a top of the table clash with the Thunder, win this and I will move 2pts clear at the top

Further Update!

Game 4 of my IPL;

Thunder 107 (15.4)

Centurions 111/1 (6.3)

Centurions won the match by 9 wickets


Table;

1.)Centurions- 8pts- 9.46 NRR
2.)Dragons- 6pts- 0.41 NRR
3.)Aces- 6pts- -0.18 NRR
4.)Thunder- 6pts- -1.19 NRR
5.)Devils- 4pts- -1.04 NRR
6.)Burn- 4pts- -1.34 NRR
7.)Lizards- 2pts- -0.55 NRR
8.)Wolves- 0pts- -1.24 NRR

Burns and Lizards have both played 5, the others have all played 4.

Next game against the Wolves, bottom team, should be easy =D

 

[barmyarmy]

Yeah, meant Centurions. Anyway in the final I bowled Burn out for 33 which I was quite proud of...
Have just started a 50 over league with the following teams:
Codemasters
Trickstar
Australia
England
India
South Africa
Burn
Wolves (me)

India gave me a tough game first up - weren't being nearly as aggressive as in T20 so much harder to take wickets (plus they're the best batting side in the game). I managed to get after their spinners and chase it down though.
Next up South Africa.
Couple of changes I should mention. I've added Shane Warne and Sohail Tanvir to the Royals team and made a rule that if any of my players play for an opposing national side I get to use them and they don't. So SA will be without Smith, Morkel and Botha.

Game 5 of my IPL;

Wolves 103 (17.4)

Edit;

Game 6 of my IPL

4.)Aces- 6pts- -0.50 NRR

[Gone4aDuck]

Are you playing hard with no or min hud??

 

[Watson33]

Are you playing hard with no or min hud??

Playing on hard with HUD on, I'm keeping it on just till I do the achievements, but after that I will turn hud off for an extra challenge =D

 

[Gone4aDuck]

Playing on hard with HUD on, I'm keeping it on just till I do the achievements, but after that I will turn hud off for an extra challenge =D

I did that and turned it back on after a couple of games. You have to play it sooooo much to get the hang of it. Plus the amount of no balls you'll bowl will make it just as unrealistic for you. At least thats whati found.

 

[barmyarmy]

I'm on hard minimal HUD although I've quite enjoyed normal no HUD when I've used it.

 

[pcfan123]

Normaly no HUD is fantastic (auto footwork), it requires the utmost concentration though. Still wish we got about 1 second more of time though.

 

[barmyarmy]

Finished my Lords test against Pakistan (hard, minimal HUD). I autoplayed the batting first innings and slogged second innings:
Disappointed to let them score more runs in second innings that first but delighted with so many ducks. Butt's was beautiful; defensive push first ball caught by the diving keeper.
50 over is about the only format I can get a decent score out of the opposition on.

 

[Watson33]

Fear not, I am back

The scores you are getting and table standings especially NRR is why offline is unplayable for me far to easy.
No enjoyment winning so easily every time.
