Good fight back there bud!

You say that, but you haven't seen the next test result yet...

[DaveK93]

Will be back on updating this tomorrow or Thursday, got a bit wrapped up in a few other things

South Africa – 3rd Test Match

We don’t make any changes for the third test, as we decide to continue with the left arm seam of Willey as an extra option for us. SAfrica make two changes, as Theunis De Bruyn comes in, with ABDV taking the gloves. Meanwhile, Pillans takes over from Piedt.

We lose the toss again, and bowl.

This one hurts. Probably one of my most humiliating defeats on this game in all the years I’ve been playing it. Needless to say, I’ll be ringing the changes for the last match as we look to save the series.

[GrahamB]

Ouch!

[Rumblah]

Certainly not looking forward to coming up against De Villiers/ Amla.

[Dick Van Dykes Disco Dog]

Just caught up with this one - still a great story.

You and Rumblah in your respective stories just grab my attention with each game

Thanks!

This isn't dead, just with work and other stuff, I haven't had time to write up the ODI series yet. Sunday tomorrow though, I'm hoping to have at least something sorted.

I'm trying a 4 seam & 2 spin bowling attack for the tests

Cook, Ali, Root, Ballance, Bairstow, Stokes, Buttler, Rashid, Willey, Broad, Anderson

Everyone performing well with exception of Buttler - Anderson and Broad are immense with the new ball with Moen having a habit of being the guy who breaks up any 100+ stands.

[DaveK93]

So I kind of dropped off the radar.... sorry guys!

I have played on a bit with the file, so when I next update, it will be a little further on into the story, say maybe 5 seasons or so. I'll work around it, but a lot depends on when I get time to actually play the file and update at the same time.

[KGKOOLKAT777]

Looking forward to it mate!

2019 ASHES SERIES

ENGLAND VS AUSTRALIA

Coming Soon!

[DaveK93]

Ok, so slight lead in to the Ashes but I thought you may enjoy this one...



Sri Lanka ranked 1st, West Indies ranked 7th for T20s... No match for the mighty Nepal though. My game against them was a straight shootout for 2nd.

Nice! World Cup ODI winners.

Without wishing to put down your efforts, I'm getting the feeling that England is way more powerful than any of the other nations in this game.
