International cricket captain.

First topic message reminder :

anyone on here play international cricket captain, any of them?

you are kidding shanky!

Tahir is a mystery spinner, he has all the varations a leg spinner has, and people have trouble picking him.

Not on the game, though. A spinner is a spinner on the game, and they don't use all of the variations.

Tahir is very good on the game, though, so he would be a good signing.

i do need some batsman though to be honest. Paul stirling could be a decent signing.

Is Flopara a good player there?

obviously its only a game, so his form has ups and downs.

Ravi Flopara lol

harsh

CF would you drop Flopara for the next series?

Shanky what did you think of the picture I posted above of Kieswetter's innings for me? I'm still amazed by it, haha!

Unbelievable mate.

Wish he could do the same in real life.

fists what do you think of my side and the reserves i have?

It looks like you're getting a much more balanced side now mate, that should do ok in most conditions, particularly on your home spinning pitches.

oddly on most of the pitches, im playing on it, spin quite a bit. Lanchashire, hampshire,surrey,glamorgan play on spinning pitches, so useful really

If you drop Flopara for Cobb then it will become a better team

Hmmm not sure about that, and Cobb is more of an opener........

You can have Denly at 3.

hmmm yh i suppose, but i want my middle order to be solid, and i would rather have bopara in the middle order then denly.

Just bought this game and started with Surrey. Haven't signed any players, my f/c side which is undefeated in the cc is:

Roy
Brown
H-B
Ramprakash
De Bruyn
Maynard (KP when available)
Davies
Arafat
Batty
Dernbach
Jordan/Meaker (Tremlett when available)

Did awful in the t20 and second in my cb40 group.

fair enough mate. Think you could do with a spinner though.

signed Peter Siddle as my overseas for the new season

i also managed to bring in Mark Chilton from Lancashire to offer more stability to my middle order.

Finished my first season...1st in CC D2, Semi finals in the CB40 and group stage in the T20. I lost Lancefield and Arafat who's contracts expired as well as De Bruyn and Ramprakash to retirement. I signed Dockrell and Topley as well as Tendulkar as my o/s with Watson for the T20.

I only had the demo version.It finished.
I want to buy it now.Whats the price?

GG i have Brett Lee as my t20 overseas

My copy cost £15

What's your F/C side CF?

GG read above, i have already wrote what my F/C side is, and the resevres...

How much did it cost you CF?

the game cost me £15 i got it when it first came out

i think they should make an ipl version lol.

I have signed Steve Davies from surrey

Davies has been quality for me. Looks like today will be the last day of playing it though, seen as mw3 is out tomorrow.

lol you can still play both

Do you guys play the game online or offline?

depends, if im just trying to build a side, then offline, i dont really play it online much to be honest.

I play it offline, trying to create a good side

i much prefer it offline

im quite a few season into the game now.

Signed Tatenda Taibu as my overseas for the new season. Needed a new keeper, with fossie retired now and westley in poor form the season before.

how's everyone doing on it now?

Just playing with England at the moment and crushing everyone! Ranked 1st Tests and 2nd ODI's after a recent ODI series loss to the Saffers.
