People can mention the amazing batting of Hayden, Dravid and Laxman all they like but that series (which was, in my opinion, the best of all time) was won by a young, unheralded turban-bearing maestro by the name of Singh. What a series.

Generally speaking - Normally I will start on four bars, when the batsmen are half-settled I will build up to five, and then six when they are fully comfortable. The trick to a good r/r is NOT LOSE WICKETS. Sometimes, especially if I am chasing a total that looks like it might be a...

What's your best debut season for a cricketer? I can't seem to get imageshack to load the screenie, but I have a (now-24-yo) leggie who made his debut for me last year. He only averages 8.33 with the bat but more than makes up for it with the ball... OVERS RUNS WICKETS...

I certainly hope not. The rule cheapens cricket as it is.

Just a few quick hints re the future - Allrounders are the most precious resource in the game, especially in the longer form of it (though it doesn't hurt in the shorter, too). If you can bat down to number eight, that's awesome. Following that is probably a good spinner, then good...

That last one is just ridiculous. I have managed to win following on, and I've chased down 250 in about a session and a half, but no screenies unfortunately.

This thread is a great idea. Keep 'em coming, when my Warwickshire team starts to hit real greatness and turn some players over I'll put it up too

Has anybody else found that the game is too heavily weighted towards bowlers? In my game, my batsmen all tend to do alright, they make a reasonable (some more than!) average and indeed it's harder to keep bowlers on top of their game than batsmen. The problem is that in other teams, the...

I'd like one to be able to add my own team in, or possibly lower leagues. Plus we could do the Sheffield Shield (ok, Pura Cup) ie Aus Domestic comp if we did.

I agree there. What I would like - esp with bowlers - is a player type or a general description. ie... Glenn McGrath RMF Player Notes: Highly accurate and consistent, good bounce, durable, ability to cut the ball, not especially quick. Av.Speed: 133kph Bowling Av.: 21 Economy: 3.32...

How about an ability to analyze a player in greater detail? All we have are the following: PACE BOWLERS: Speed, as done by four increments (F, FM, MF, M), delivery arm, average and economy rate. SPINNERS: Type of spin, average and economy rate. BATSMEN: Attacking vs Defensive, Off/Legside...
