Why would you declare after only 541 runs and 135 overs? I like batting out three days if I don't get all out XD

That was Cullen Bailey's debut and I wanted to have as much time to bowl them out as possible in case Bailey got slapped.

Still won by an innings and 117 runs so it was a good decision in the end.

[Cricketdude]

Yeah, I see that is definitely Ponting.

 

[Dez]

Peter Siddle destroys England.

Match figures of 13/104 from 52 overs.

 

[Hooper]

Yeah, I see that is definitely Ponting.

:sarcasm

Sarcasm?

Ponting's second slip catches are always good.

 

[Niv]

Rajin Saleh did exactly the same catch animation for me the other day. You can tell it was him though because he's always bald in ICC games for some reason...

 

[Hooper]

Haha, I love that animation aye. Pure gold.

Some of the shots are good this year also, really like the pull shot and the six straight down the ground. I actually watch highlights now.

 

[Mr. InFredible]

Can anyone name any South African's who turn out well in the future?

Yeah, some are pretty good but others are a bit weird. And I never noticed how bad quality it looks when paused! :O

 

[blake]

You need to change it to OMFG!11!! MARCUS NORTH KINGZ OF CATCHEZ!!!

 

[Jakester1288]

Marcus North is fantastic in first class cricket on ICC 2009. I signed him as my foreign player, and in ten test matches his average is 89.00 and he has taken a few handy wickets aswell. I might start a games as Australia soon and see how he does for the. Anyone else worship him on the game?

:hpraise

Meh, he's a waste if he is on international cricket.

That said, I think you meant First Class.

 

[hedger_14]

Ferguson is my overseas player and I don't think he plays internationally. He's played well for me so far.

 

[Niv]

9 ODI's to his name I think, he was unlucky not to be in the T20 WC. The Australian AI doesn't pick him as far as I've seen though.

Here is my Australia team for the Ashes

Hughes
Katich
Ponting
Hussey
Clarke
North
Haddin
Watson
White
Johnson
Siddle
----------

Ferguson
Hussey
Lee
Ronchi
Hilfenhaus
Hauritz
Clark

Who should I play, my batting is great but bowling is useless..Only Johnson bowls well. Others are not good. Suggest me a good Aussie bowler..

 

[CG123]

I suggest firstly playing more than 2 specialist bowlers.
I would play one of Watson or North at 6 followed by Haddin 7 and 4 bowlers after that. The bowlers i would play would be Johnson and Siddle plus 2. These 2 could be up out of Lee, Hilfenhaus, Hauritz or Clark. Personally i would play Hauritz is i like a spinner and then one out of the other three.
