[BOONEY]

have Jaques in both forms instead of Martyn, Jaques is a gun in ICC 2006

 

[Griffo]

out of all these guys who retires first year

martyn doesnt do to well by memory

 

[BOONEY]

in ashes edition warne and mcgrath retire after the 2007/2008 season usually, not sure about martyn, langer, gilly, hayden, usually they are around for a few years but aren't very good

 

[Griffo]

i know ive asked this before but i cant find the thread who are some replacements and did you struggle in the windies series before the world cup

 

[BOONEY]

no because you can use the same team as the ashes as it is in the same season (season goes from april 2006 - april 2007)

and i'm pretty sure nobody from that team retires so you can take them to the world cup and then into the australian summer of 07-08 and then the pakistan tour afterwards. then after that, the next season (08/09) and onwards it gets really tricky with the bowling but the batting is good

i usually replace warne and mcgrath with tait and bracken, but rofe also gets good and andrew mcdonald. i don't think i've ever seen a good spinner after warne, so i just use white who does quite well

 

[Griffo]

whites averages with bat and ball?

 

[King Pietersen]

MY odi team in 2008 is as follows:
Jaques
Haydos
Ponting
Hussey
Clarke
Gilchrist
Symonds
Johnson
Tait
Cullen
Clark

Works a treat, i won the 07 world cup and am unbeaten in odi series, this is on icc 06 btw. Its works a treat as i have batting down to number 8, great pace bowlers, players who can stick through the whole innings (jaques/ponting) and there is experience with symonds, gilly, hayden, ponting and clark.

 

[lancashire666]

id deffo have Jaques playing, the guys a bit of a Deamon, when hes at the crease with Ponting they can bat forever together

 

[BOONEY]

whites averages with bat and ball?

Tests - bat - 42, bowl - 24
ODIs - bat - 61 (he's low in the order and doesn't get out much, bowl - 18

that's after about 15 tests and 40 odi's

 

[Griffo]

how does cullen go?

 

[BOONEY]

cullen isn't good in the game, in 2011 has a bowling average of 40+ (in first class)

 

[aussie_ben91]

Jaques goes terrible for me. So does White. Watson's a gun batsman though, so is Hayden.

 

[Griffo]

thats why i havent selected jaques bad experiences

 

[BOONEY]

he does well for me especially in the county cricket
