Ok, don't crucify me for this question but; Afghanistan v Netherlands; Why was the Edwards (i think it was) wicket counted as a run out and not a stumping? What counts as the difference here? He kind of... fell over his own shot?

Yes, IMO International squads should be built on four-five year cycles, with reviews after each tournament. England's OD selection was terrible in terms of age, and the squad shouldn't have been allowed to get to that stage. Stokes should have stayed in his retirement home as well, it speaks to...

Think fans have been saying that since 1998! :laughter:

Too old and comfortable maybe? The entire team today is north of 30. Otherwise it's the usual 'I have no brain, I shall just swing' attitudes ~ When they lost three including the (stupid) run out from Root, they should have knuckled down and played boring cricket for 10-20 overs to get settled...

England are so bad, they'd probably lose to the West Indies if they were in it.

Not much then? :P

I'm still on 2015. :P We'll see if their discussions do anything though.

Might help if England knew how to bat for the first 10-15 overs. Some really soft dismissals, showcasing, as usual, English indiscipline. Early, ugly heaves rather than just taking their time and getting settled, knowing they have the talent to do timed heaves and smart batting to chase down...

Consoles have never really been that great for management games IMHO, even one as streamlined as CC with its awful sorting/filtering features, I genuinely can't see it surviving for long, and I'm not sure where the revenue is supposed to come from given that Sony and MS' fees should be a lot...

Interesting post on the official forums recently by the dev recently. Basically, sales are okay, mostly thanks to mobile gamers buying it, so that offsets the decline of sales on PC. Because of that, they consider the negative reviews to be irrelevant. In other words; He's chasing the $$$ and...

Well, as I noted, that's precisely why I don't chase after anything wide/green *unless* it is from a medium pacer, as they are slow enough for me to work it out either visually or by instinct. If I *do* chase after it, I usually get an edge as you might expect, or I get a decent shot off but...

I just sussed the batting out after getting frustrated with ridiculous edges. Then something someone said made it click... Basically, some advice given is terrible(!) For example; Yellow = Front foot, Green = Front foot, Red = Back foot. People camp on the front foot because it's easier and...

117 off 181 in career for me, mostly down to good AI tactics; bowling short all the time to exploit my weaker backfoot. They changed tack later on once I got past 100 though. That wasn't a 'perfect' ton though, I was dropped in the slips on 3, had two inside edges (one failed to carry to the...

I restarted my game, I went looking around reading up about the patch for the difficulty levels and stuff. Armed with a bit of experience now, I figured I'd try and do better as the 16 year old. Did ok, 141 in the first FC innings, then out for 1 in the second. Fall from grace indeed. Hit a few...

I started a batsman, joined Glamorgan. First game was FC vs Worcester (is that it? I forgot now jeez.) So I came in with Rudolf at the crease, 2 wickets gone in quick succession. Spinner on one end, fast-med on the other. Ugh, I'd been in the nets practising shots and noted I was edging...

Yeah, sorry this is unplayable for me. Either the ball flies miles around or somehow it "hits" my batsman even if I'm nowhere near it. Effectively I'm swinging the bat but I'm never hitting the ball because anytime it comes near me it drops dead. I'll pass.

Hm doesn't seem to do the trick for me on Test matches. I find it's a lot easier to get wickets bowling aggressive and changing the field settings in terms of runs scored. Lots more chances et al.

Hey all, thought I'd ask for some advice on ICC 2009 with regards to setting things up for the newer players, the tips from the manual are threadbare personally so I thought I'd give a few sections and ask for contributors... =D Note: I'm not trying for a "be all end all" guide as in...
