International Cricket Captain General Thread of Miscellany

[Dan]

Marginally better than James Hildreth almost always taking the second new ball for the somehow-promoted Gloucestershire in 2016.

And being rather successful in doing so.

Luke Feldman averaging 30 with the bat and 19 with the ball also mildly concerning.

Ludicrous end to a 2017 CC match.

I'd made 7dec/350 thanks to contributions all down the order, then in perfect bowling conditions let Durham make 335 in reply.

In the second dig, I decided to bat until there's an hour to go on Day 3 and give myself a day-and-a-bit to bowl them out. We go into tea with Michael Carberry on 75*, in a pretty good position, so I set him to go nuts when we came back out. I ended up batting a bit longer than I meant to, as Carberry got himself to 179* - the 100 in the session was far too special to declare on. Left me with all of Day 4 to bowl them out - or so I thought.

5:12 of the day was lost to rain, leaving only 14 overs possible throughout the day.

Durham: 19 all out, 13.4 overs.
W Parris: 6/12 (7)
R Mundy: 4/5 (6.4)

[veteran-80s]

Is there any way I could get my Australian Cricket Captain 1998 to work? Also, does someone have the original International Cricket Captain 1998? Can it, somehow, run on Windows 7 or later?

 

[sledger]

The Australian Cricket Captain from 1998 does not work any more, so no.

 

[veteran-80s]

The Australian Cricket Captain from 1998 does not work any more, so no.

I think I shall get a dated laptop with Windows 98 to make it work.

 

[sledger]

He'll never play again, not for all the Windows 98 laptops in the world.

Warwickshire 5/268 (40 overs; R Downes 136*, J Ord 37, J Allenby 2/57)
Glamorgan 41 (9.4 overs; T Copeland 8/13, T Corbett 1/6, J Denly 9)

Jeepers.

 

[mughalssp]

Interesting?

 

[morgieb]

A record?

 

[Flem274*]

I wonder if he will still be going at 50, or even 100...

 

[sledger]

So, despite playing for all that time, he still has fewer wickets in all formats than Andy Caddick managed in his career.

Hahahahaha wtf?

 

[Flem274*]

I was lucky to even find it. I'm not playing as Australia but I was just flicking through their bowlers and I saw Johnson was still there at age 45 or whatever. Been keeping an eye on him ever since.

Currently packing a pretty gun IPL squad:

Name	Batting	Bowling/WK
Suryakumar Yadav Vineet Saxena Unmukt Chand Virat Kohli Gautam Gambhir Kolar Pawan Dasi Prabhu Kiran Adam Voges G Panda (Regen, RHOpener) Dinesh Karthik Kieron Pollard Karan Sharma Keith Barker P Kumar (Regen; RHB/RF) Abhishek Nayar Irfan Pathan Dhawal Kulkarni Steven Smith Pragyan Ojha Munaf Patel Ravichandran Ashwin Umesh Yadav Basant Mohanty Vivek Yadav Lasith Malinga	31.99 @ 151.59 30.89 @ 133.74 28.97 @ 135.72 28.23 @ 130.15 29.29 @ 128.39 32.47 @ 116.63 28.39 @ 138.60 28.29 @ 127.12 22.68 @ 141.72 24.06 @ 130.86 26.90 @ 157.10 21.65 @ 128.22 20.12 @ 134.55 25.85 @ 130.88 25.41 @ 135.94 22.01 @ 121.07 16.61 @ 122.49 26.70 @ 129.52 05.89 @ 117.77 07.03 @ 115.33 18.59 @ 118.46 06.04 @ 118.80 11.40 @ 158.33 12.08 @ 161.99 07.87 @ 108.59	- - - - - 54c/12s - 37.54 @ 8.54 - 195c/43s 23.02 @ 7.93 18.70 @ 6.80 17.53 @ 7.73 23.70 @ 8.17 22.01 @ 7.26 18.04 @ 7.46 19.20 @ 7.41 23.08 @ 8.86 18.87 @ 7.19 18.79 @ 7.17 21.18 @ 7.16 18.35 @ 8.15 12.44 @ 7.16 15.43 @ 7.95 16.28 @ 6.90

Current XI is very pace-heavy:
1. U Chand 2. S Yadav 3. V Kohli 4. G Gambhir 5. D Karthik 6. S Smith 7. I Pathan 8. K Barker 9. K Sharma 10. D Kulkarni 11. L Malinga

Spinning deck XI:
1. U Chand 2. G Gambir 3. V Kohli 4. S Smith 5. D Karthik 6. K Pollard 7. I Pathan 8. R Ashwin 9. K Sharma 10. D Kulkarni 11. L Malinga/P Ojha


International players are a false economy. Invest more in gun Indians IMO. Sharma is crazily gun, and Kulkarni is a bit too good to be true as well.
