World Cup in ICC 2006

[Moloko Fan]

Is it ever possible to win these things??? I'm coaching South Africa in 2035 and we've just lost ANOTHER World Cup final (after almost losing the semi, which it what usually happens)

My team is five-star and has only lost two ODI's in the last four years. We blitz the Super Eights as usual, and then we get bowled out for 160 or something when the pressure is on NO MATTER WHAT I DO. This has been going on in exactly the same pattern for the last 20 years in game, why the hell do I bother?? GGGGGRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.

thats SA for ya...a buch of chokers

seriously are you changing your tactics for the final?

 

[Moloko Fan]

Not particularly - its the same as my usual tactics - ie leave aggression on 4/8 - and bump it up if the run-rate falls below 4p/o before having a slog in the last 15 overs.

The only change I make is a forced one. Namely that one of my bowlers is always in to bat by the 35th over so I have to start doing strike rotation stuff.

try auto playing the final

i tend to either go 1 from the end agression from the first ball or 3 from the end for 30 overs then 1 from the end for the rest

Edit:will sometimes do the first 10 overs on 4 bars

It is possible to win the world cup in ICC06 and ICC3(Won on both).

Did you bat or bowl poor?

 

[Dondogz]

i think he bats poor in the final

get bowled out for 160 or something

 

[Jaztheman]

In semi-final if you wanna get a 'safe' score bat on 3 bars from the start of every batsmen's innings until you get to 35/40(Your choice) and then go one from the end. Works for me alot of the time but depends on opposition and the situation in the match, although if you are chasing it is a whole different story.

i always prefer chasing in one day matches and batting first in FC matches

I always prefer batting second both times, I like to know what I'm chasing and I love batting last.:cool:
