some bloody good stuff there bryce...especially the two hattricks.
I have some questions to ask all of you guys though...In ICC 2006 can you sign 2 overseas players every year? (i only have ICC 2002 so it would help) and also does ICC 2006 show OD team records aswell as First Class Records?
hopefully someone will answer

10 matches into the season now in the county championship, going to post a few player profiles so you can see the huge difference in First Class and OD batting for my team. Currently sitting pretty at the top of the county championship, firing on all cylinders really, as you can see batsmen are totally gunning it and my bowlers have been going well as well. For some reason though, Azhar Mahmood who has a pretty good First class batting record is in the direst of form, averaging 8.44 with the bat. Mark Butcher is going alright as well, although not quite as well as the four I've screened.
OD different story, though, only team under me is Ireland who haven't won a single game, then there's us with one win, which was over Ireland. Can't score a run to save my life in OD cricket, which is really gutting.

And my amazing batting feats in the first class game continue. This one is truly amazing, so let me set the scene a little
The pitch was a road, great track for batting and I was up against Northants, who won the toss and promptly chose to bat, much to my chagrin. My bowlers toiled away for the best part of the day and had them all out for 379 just before the end of the day, with a couple of overs to be negotiated. Taking into consideration the strike rates for my batsmen this season, which are generally slow, I didn't fancy my chances of scoring enough runs quickly enough to have enough time leftover to chase a big total in the second innings, so I decided that my game plan should be to put a big score on the board in the first innings and bat Northants out of the game and bet on my bowlers to skittle them for an easy chase on the last day.
Things looked good as Newman looked ominous in the few overs before close, smacking a couple of boundaries straight away. He and Batty had a 55 run partnership opening the batting, until Batty who has been in good touch fell cheaply for 22. This sparked a mini collapse, with Newman departing soon after and Ali Brown and Mark Ramprakash, whose been a behemoth all season for us, both departing for low scores and leaving me precariously placed at 82/4.
Richard Clinton came to the crease to join Mark Butcher, who hadn't been in the best of touch for a few games and was low on form, and they set about restoring order for us in a handy partnership of 112 for the 5th wicket, with Butcher taking the lead. Things were looking good until Clinton fell just short of his 50, out for 46, and left us balancing on the edge again at 195/5. The game could have gone either way at this stage, another wicket and they would have been into the tail because Mahmoods been dire all season and I would have been in serious trouble. Instead, Rikki Clarke strode to the crease batting at number 7 and thus began the most immense partnership I could have ever wished for.
They batted through the end of day two, and all the way through to the last over of day three, Butcher finishing up on an epic 343*, and nearly gave me a heart attack by being dropped twice on 299, but in possibly the most soul destroying moment of my video gaming life, Rikki WAS out on 299, which signalled the end of a mammoth 595 run partnership which, if I checked the games records correctly, is the highest partnership for any wicket in county cricket history. The pair far exceeded my hopes for a big total and we ended up a 413 run lead and easily rolled them over in the second innings, with Rikki just generally cementing his status as superman and managing to take 4 wickets as we bowled them out for 264 and won by an innings and 149.
Was fantastic to watch unfold, even though the play and misses, LBW appeals and dropped catches were utterly nerve-wracking as the innings went on and on. Now if only I could manage this sort of thing in the OD game. xD Here's a screenshot of the batting card.

Anywhere between 3-5 for most of the innnings, although I bumped it up and down according to the situation. (attempted to take it easy when nearing milestones, except right at the end when I went to about 7 aggression to try and get as many runs before the close of play as possible (which is probably why poor Rikki fell at the worst time). It didn't need to be particularly aggressive, seeing as they were batting for the best part of two days. Their confidence metres were both way off the charts, though.
I honestly didn't think it was going to get anywhere near that big, especially when they started giving away a bunch of chances, but I just lucked out I guess. xD Second time in my season so far that someone has gone big for me (Newmans 313 in the first game of the season), just these two happened to do it together. But yeah, the dropped catches were a big help.
But yeah, most of my posts in this thread pretty much show how amazing my FC batting has been all season. It's shocking how we struggle to post triple figure scores in the OD format.

Just looking through My Pictures:
1 - McGrath 1 econ in a T20 game.
2 - 4 catches by the subsitute fieldsman
3 - 10 wickets on debut... for a batsman
4- 50 off 22 balls for Vikram Solanki
5 - Prior and Loudon putting on 500 in the CC
I also have Australia winning a Test match by an innings and 626 runs but that was on Easy Mode iirc. I also have a Langer 406 from the same career.

Close win for the West Indies. Fast bowlers were ineffective in both innings...
Pakistan were set 306 to win on the final day, and were only a couple down heading towards the third session. Brought Sarwan and Gayle on again and with 43 minutes to go, Pakistan needed just 2 to win. Asif got a single, then Kaneria was out, LBW to Sarwan. It gave us an amazing series win after we lost the first test. We won the second test, also in dramatic fashion, bowling Pakistan out 10 short of their target of 150, with all the quicks sharing in the wickets.
