ICC Trophy 2005

[DJ Ager]

ICC Trophy

I think this could be the closest ICC Trophy yet. The chances of qualifying will be greater with 5 teams, instead of 3 teams, qualifying

-Holland have experience, despite no Lefebve, they have Van Bunge, de Leede, Doeschate, Kloppenborg to name a few and are probably the strongest side there and will qualify and be favourites to win it

-Scotland have a great chance of qualifying. They've hit form at the right time, performing well in the National League.

-Ireland also have good chance of qualifying for their first World Cup. As well as being hosts, they beat Surrey in the C&G Cup last year and the West Indies. With players like Ed Joyce they have a great chance

-Canada will be strong and with John Davison, Ian Billcliff and Ashley Codrington, they have a reasonable chance of qualifying

-After surprising many by qualifying for CWC 2003, Namibia will have the pressure to qualify again, yet their recent form has let them down

-USA surprised people by qualifying for the Champions Trophy, and there is no reason why they can't do it again, however do they have the experience of the pressure to get there?

-UAE qualified for CWC 1996, and athough their side is not as strong now they recently got to the Asia Cup and the best non-test side in Asia could make it to the West Indies

-Denmark are unlikely to qualify but can't be ruled out, with Kent's Amjad Khan the Danish may be the surprise team in Ireland

-Bermuda are unlikely to qualify as well, but they are the best non-test side in N.America after Canada and USA

-Uganda have little chance of quaifying, but watch out for all-rounder Kamyuka who impressed last time

-Oman and Papua New Guinea are unkown quantities but as Namibia showed four years ago, anyone has a chance

Predictions(through calculations,matches played etc.):

1st-Holland
2nd-Scotland
3rd-Ireland
4th-USA
5th-Canada

Good luck to all the teams!!!!!!!

The order is due to the fact Group B is a lot sronger than Group A

By the way, I am in process of making the ICC Trophy on Cricket 2004. I am have problems with making the kits.

Do you want them playing in whites like in real life, or in colours

Experience? The average age of the squad is over 30, experience might not be a problem...

You mean C2K4 right?

Colours, like in real life.....

 

[DJ Ager]

Actually in the real life ICC Trophy they will play in whites

In response to Zorax Zoom, you are right.

However I meant experience against top quality oppostion

Sorry if I confused you!

What does C2K4 mean?

By the way Zorax Zoom, I hope UAE get to the World Cup

Actually, this year they're playing in coloured clothing.

C2K4 means Cricket 2004.

You might want to have a look at the official ICC Trophy website, if you haven't already done so. http://www.icctrophy2005.org/

And its ZoraxDoom...

Still, they must have been playing this sort of cricket for about 10 years, enough experience. Also a couple of WI players are there, they have played a few international matches.

Odds have been placed for the ICC Trophy. You can bet here

I really don't know much about these minos of world cricket but surely the world cup 2003 teams would be favourites. Ireland and Scotland never made that world cup..

And this time, Ireland are on home soil and have 3 county professionals. Scotland aren't too far from home and have 4 county professionals. They're probably the strongest two sides in the competition.

Andrew Nixon, I cannot find these coloured kits on the website

You may be right but I can't find them

ZoraxDoom you are right, it is only now they have progressed to having a realistic chance of getting to the World Cup.

Sorry I got your name wrong

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Could I help you in this patch you are making? I have already updated the lineups in C2K4 for Netherland, Namibia and Canada. I could help with the other lineups.

They're defintely playing in coloured clothing, check out the playing conditions if you don't believe me.

You'll probably have to wait til the first matches before you can see the kits.

 

[DJ Ager]

Sorry, Nixon, I agree

ZoraxDoom, I'd love it if you could help me, I don't have much experience with patch making

Obviously Netherlands,Namibia,Canada, are already on the game
You can get Scotland with Season05 patch, so it's a case of which 8 teams to change

I have lists and photos of all teams,
It would be a big help if you could help me with the kits as I'm not good at this
I could try but you'd be better, I could show you some ideas of kit designs.
I have made a Scotland kit, but it looks strange when on the game.

First we will have to decide which teams to change(domestic and tour sides)

I hope us two could become friends and make a great patch

I will not be able to contact you most night due to schoolwork and telephone fees

PS: Please DON'T email me

I'm also thinking of doing a cricketing story on Cricket 2004: Twenty20 World Club Cup 2005

But, can you tell me how to do screenshots without the Print Screen button as it does not work for Cricket 2004

 

[ZoraxDoom]

A)The lineups in the game are old and incorrect. I have fixed those.(although I should remove Lefabvre from Holland...)
B)Scotland Kit and Lineup have been done.
C)USA Kit has also been done, while about 11-13 players have already been made for USA, UAE and Hong kong(although the latter would be useless...)
D)Dazza could help with kits.
E)Teams to replace could be Vice Chancellors XI, Minsters XI, etc.(Dukes XI has been replaced with scotland).
F)If you do have the lists for the teams, post them here, I'll be happy to work on them.
