ICC Discussion Thread

[treva]

Thought we may as well have a discussion thread for ny ICC game where you can talk about about whtever you want related to ICC

I'll start off with an amazing score of 714 a/o on a bowlers pitch with Surrey. Newman got a double century and Rikki Clarke and Mark Butcher both got centuries. They also made 400+ in the first innings, so in all it was either not a bowling pitch at all, or these two tems have the crapiest bowlers ever

who did you play?

i just slipped to 4-38 with 2 dropped catches on a bowlers pitch in my first innings

 

[BOONEY]

That's just about how you are doing in your game not talking about general stuff in the ICC series :

I was against Derbyshire by the way Griffo, so that could explain my huge score

 

[RVP#11]

I'm in the season 2015 with Middlesex and I have a regen who has got 100+ wickets every season since he was 22. He is an OS and is now 27. He hasn't ever been called up to the England Team, and I suppose that's good news. I have a 20 year old who hit a 335 when he was just 18 and now he's getting called up to the England team.

I constantly have Strauss, Joyce, Dalrymple, Shah, Buller, Righton, Prior, Davies and Munday called up for England, leaving me with hardly any players! 9 players called up, yet I have still only lost 1 county match since the start of the game !

Start normal and then get very agressive after 30 overs

Does anybody play those Historical Series?

I did but I got bored after a while. If they were Australia I would do them more.

i go two from full aggressive all the time then with ten overs to go i put it to full aggresion. or if i am doing really well i bat full aggresion for the last 15 overs. works all the time this season lowest OD score is about 320.

i gave them ago when i first got ICC but never play them since. nice idea and i hope they keep it in the next version, but with a few series for each nation.

 

[King Pietersen]

My technique for ODI's is awesome, i start on 4 bars until 5 overs in, then when my openers are settled, go to 1 bar under full agression and leave it at that until the last 10 which i have as full agression. Every new batsman is set to the same agression a the settled batsman. I've hit scores of 450 as Lancashire, works a treat.

Recently found that if you start on 8 bars aggression you make huge scores. Made 400+ with Somerset and have made 300+ as well using this way
