If you make Hauritz a bit better like at least Aussies 4th best bowler or something instead of one of the worst actual bowlers on the game, I will choose him. Otherwise, I will choose Hughes.

Sorry for being an utter sardine but could you explain a little more what the idea is and then I can decide whether I want to get involved. it sounds interesting but I am just not sure yet what the commitment or idea is. Thanks in advance for any helpful explanations!

I'm not changing, so you can have Hughes if you like. Just confirm.

Well, on International Cricket Captain 2009 I am playing the Ashes, and editing the players names to members of PlanetCricket usernames, and reporting on how you go.

First in best dressed, BTW.

 

[hedger_14]

yep. Phillip Hughes then. Hauritz would have to be the worst player (in game) on the list there.

Sounds like fun. I shall go straight for glory and be Mr Strauss then if he is still available! Nice idea and I look forward to following this one!

 

[Gary123]

I will pick Michael Clarke.

 

[Jakester1288]

Thanks for the early interest.

Hopefully when I get on tomorrow and before I go to bed there are a few more positions filled by the English members coming on. The quicker you sign up guys, the quicker we can begin.

Feel free to make series predictions. I'll try to give some news bulletins and stuff if I have time, but I probably wont have time, since I'm really busy with school (or, at least, I'm supposed to be. )

 

[Biggy]

I'll go with Mitchell Johnson.

 

[Jakester1288]

Added to the list.

 

[hedger_14]

Predictions:

Australia 5 - 0 England

Best Batsman:
Phillip Hughes (Me)

Best Bowler:
Phillip Hughes (Me). I will be brought on for 2 overs after England cruise to 180/0 and I take 10/0 as they go all out for 180 and I'll do that for 2 innings and I am already the best bowler for the series.

Good to see you are very modest.

On that note, I actually used Hughes to open the batting and the bowling, and bowl as many overs as possible, for a couple of series, and most games he made like a ton, then got 4-200 odd, with Katich getting like 5-250 from the same overs, and someone like Clarke coming on for 5 overs stealing a wicket.

 

[pelican102]

Can i go with Simon Katich.

 

[hedger_14]

Nah. I think it will be 5-0 to Aussies because it should be and I will be the best batman (thats because I am the ICC god) and Johnson will be the best bowler.

 

[OffCutters]

I`ll have a go with good ol Michael Hussey, Jake. Thanks. Interesting idea btw
