Welcome to my thread which will follow the fortunes of the Australian International team on International Cricket Captain 2005. The story will start with the Ashes tour of England. It will not be as colourful or exciting as stories which use games like BLIC and C2005, but I still hope you will enjoy the read. It will be played on Normal difficulty. Alrighty, let?s start then!
