Styris at 10, thats a bit harsh, or did you want to give SA a chance

Actually it was against Border and he wasn't in the best of batting form (took about 4 wickets in their seconds innings to help us win).

And if you think "ah against Border that explains why so high" in one of the tests in the series v South Africa we were all out 643

If you want to cheat, then go ahead, but don't spam the forum bragging about it.

Nice knock by Giles here I think, and a good recovery from 161-7

how fun it must be restarting the game every time your player gets out

Titface.

I don`t know how to cheat, and I`m glad I don`t! What the hell is the point? Boring. I learn the most in cricket (real or otherwise) when I`m losing.

Nice job man. I got my only ever 100 with Giles the other day. Don`t play ICC much anymore, mind.

That's just sad really

Also, has anyone seen a CPU controlled batsman from England average over 40 for their first class career?

 

[marc71178]

In a way I guess it's no different to restarting the contracts screen 50 times to get a good player though.

yeah heaps, give it a few years, ive seen some average as high as 72.

 

[squiz]

Im in 2019 and the higest average for someone who's played a considerable amount of innings is in the mid 30's. There's a few with averages over 40 when they first start, but generally they don't continue it. I also see a lot of players from India and South Africa average over 40 in tests and FC.

 

[age_master]

interesting start to the innings, they went on to get rolled for 81...

Just want to know, how did Saggers get MoM?!

He took 10 for the match.

Generally if two players score biggish hundreds one of them will only get motm if no bowler or other batsmen perform, or if they bak it up 2nd time around.

I actually think it's fair enough, considering that match was quite batting orientated, in the first innings atleast. Good win though by 7 runs

EDIT: lol didn't see salisbury. That is indeed... quite ****ed

I reckon there's a line of code in the game:

"IF MoTM="Ian Salisbury" THEN GOSUB MoTMAWARD ELSE END LOOP"

 

[age_master]

just happens sometimes, were sagger's top order wickets, or partnership breaking?

 

[Cloete]

Reading about kof98's keeper. I got a keeper with a second team batting average of 80 today, which is the hgihest 2nd team for a keeper I personally have ever had. Before that it would be about 60. He's a great player... averages 20 both forms

Seriously when you consider the number of absolutely gun batsmen that come through there should be atleast one good keeper atleast every like 50 years or so. But I've never had anyone remotely good, my best average for a youth keeper would be 35 in OD. In FC it'd be about 33.

 

[age_master]

my best averages about 35 in both forms, his 2nd team average is about 40.
