What stats did you give him? He isn't supposed to bowl, let alone bowl well!

He averages 60 with the ball. Which is what he does in real life.

And I will just randomly select gamer's team for him.

Australia vs South Africa at Jaipur

Here we are at Jaipur for what will arguably be, one of the most exciting matches in this years Champions Trophy.
The teams today show that Australia have a clear advantage and have a very strong chance of winning.

For the toss, then. This pitch is a normal pitch, so it should be very fair between the teams. South Africa have won the toss and elected to bat first.

South Africa started very well, the opening partnership lasted for 99 runs, before Boeta Dippenaar was caught behind off the bowling of McGrath.
Graeme Smith was the batsmn of the innings, scoring a steady 74 off of 102 balls.

The bowler of the innings was Brett Lee, who picked up 2 wickets, and bowled very well at the death for Australia. His 2 wickets were Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis, which is no easy feat, especially when they are set and have already reached their fifties.

They made it. But just. It took a brilliant innings from Mike Hussey, who scored 93 off just 73 balls. The Saffa bowlers didn't know what to do. They made the breakthrough when Graeme Smith ran Hussey out with a spectacular direct hit.
Justin Langer's return to ODI cricket didn't go too well. Out for a golden duck, caught at first slip by Jacques Kallis off of a what can only be described as a loosener from Makhaya Ntini.
Andrew Symonds hit another brilliant One Day innings, he to see his team through. He finished the match off with two consecutive boundaries off Andre Nel.

There wasn't really a bowler of the innings, as Makhaya Ntini, who took most wickets, went for too many runs. Whilst Shaun Pollock didn't take any wickets, but bowled quite economically.

So, altogether a very impressive match. It went right down to the wire, but the Australians were on top. A good win for new coach Gamerkid22.

Australia win by 6 wickets and Michael Hussey is awarded Man of the Match.

What a match . I knew my side will give 100 % till the end and fantastic innings by Hussey . Symonds played well as well. I am ready to go at England now

 

[GrayNicolls]

Nice to hear the optimism, gamer!

The Ashes is the next tournament starting after this.

That reminds me.

England in Australia (Test)

Sri Lanka in New Zealand (Test/ODI)

India in South Africa (Test/ODI)

West Indies in Pakistan (Test/ODI)

Bangladesh in Zimbabwe (Test/ODI)

Kenya in Scotland (ODI)

So, can I have everyone's squads for that series by PM please. I'll post them all at once in the thread. So, give me your squads for the next series by PM.

I'll also need a Scotland coach. If no one wants to do it, I will. I've already got a squad.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

He averages 60 with the ball. Which is what he does in real life.

And I will just randomly select gamer's team for him.

And he has taken what, 1 wicket? And bowled only 3 balls elswhere.
Use something like a 15 wicket minimum before assigning bowling averages. That, or don't make them a bowler until the coach says tto.

 

[Jaztheman]

calm down zorax and well done pakistan on win

 

[GrayNicolls]

And he has taken what, 1 wicket? And bowled only 3 balls elswhere.

I'll just keep it how it is.
