Argh!

What gripes have you experieced in your ICC games? ie annoyancesm but not bugs.

My biggest gripe has to be with the Boeta Dippenaar. He's played 95 ODIs (83 inns) and has scored 2698 runs with 26 not outs at 47.33. He's done amazingly for my team and has 21 fifties but no hundreds yet. The 'argh' is that he's gotted to 99 on 5 occasions. Once he was not out 99 and the other four times he was dismissed for 99.

Needless to say, it's frustrated me. :P

B Charles, and J Hannon both have played 50+ ODIs have have never scored 100s. Both have scored 15+ 50s and have higest scores in 90s. Its annoying, but interesting..

Thing's that really anoy me in ICC are.

In OD game's boundrys are way to easy to get even in the middle overs I dont mind it in the first 15 you would expect plenty then.

No way nere a realistic amount of sixes are hit Gillchrist went an entire summer and only hit one six :O. (included two double hundered's with no sixes)

The computer is not challenging enough :!(
The computer batsman should be more unpridictable play the occasional very aggresive innings etc..

Spinners are to good.

AUSTRALIAN PLAYERS ARE NEVER AVALABLE AS OVERSEAS PLAYERS :!( not after a few seasons anyway)

Pakistan and India especialy are way! better than in real life.

You never see a batsman succsesfully charge the spinners.

Keepers never whip the bails off for run outs it's always a direct hit.

Players not form England hardly ever play FC matches (or never do in some cases)

There are alot more actualy but I still love this game.

I had one player in ICC 2000, P Cox, that made 350-odd not out on his debut for Australia and made a cartload of runs....then went on a tour to India with 12 players and 2 got injured, so I could not play any games, and sadly, that save game ever again!

Only 2 FC teams outside of England are active. This is to allow for tour matches.

To compound my frustration, Dippenaar has 13 Test hundreds and 14 Test fifties, scoring 4 hundreds in each of his last two years and 2 thus far this year.

Why did you go on tour with only 12 players? ? Can't you take 18 for overseas tours.
It was all the game let me take......the India tour was straight after a home series, and it only allowed me to select 12 players....go figure!
