England Youth

[SmartyPants]

This is my first attempt at a story, I call it England Youth! I have set myself the target to getting to the top of the world with a side with every player under the age of 21. I don't know if this has been done before but it is a huge target. My next post will be with the squad to face the West Indies.

Every player under the age of 21!

Wow... Never been done before, but do remember that regens come through at 18-23, so some of the best regens may never even get the chance to play. I would go so far as to call getting to #1 unachieveable, so good luck and prove me wrong!

Alex Wakely:Fantastic player, my opener for Northamptonshire.

Varun Chopra: Decent number 6,7/8 batsman for Essex.Well underestimated.

Joshua Cobb:Top order batsman for Lancashire i think.

Bud Bailey:Good fast bowler, struggles to take wickets at first class level, but is brilliant for 2x1 due to lack of experience.He came into my squad as a replacement for Panesar as he was on international duty.

Chris Woakes:Quality, first got into England 1X1 for the first england tour on game.

S Northeast:Real life England U19 player recently I think.

This Is How To Add ScreenShots, Thanks CyberCricketer.

Origianlly Posted By CyberCricketer

1. In the game, go to Options > disable Full Screen (you may already have fullscreen off)

2. Go to the scorecard of the game and press 'Shift + Print-Screen' (at the same time) on your keyboard.

3. Then I go to a program called 'Windows Picture Manager' (I have Microsoft Office '07 and Vista) and paste the picture in there. Becasue the game wasn't on full-screen you should be able to see some of your desktop around the edge of the scorecard in the picture.

4. Click on the picture once you have pasted it into Pic Manager, then go to 'Edit Picture' > 'Crop'. Use the black markers around the picture to cut off whatever you don't need, then click OK. You may need to resize the picture ('Edit Picture' > 'Resize') so that it will fit in the thread here. I resize mine to about 600 x 500 pixels. Rename the picture and save.

5. Then you need to have a Photobucket or Imageshack account. They're both free so make one if you don't already have one. I use Photobucket.

6. Once you have an account, you can upload that saved picture and then you have an option to 'Save & Get Links'. Click on it.

7. There will be three or four urls available for you to use. Select the 'Image' one: [IMG]url[/IMG]. Copy and paste that into your thread here and you should see the picture.

James Vince is a good batsman
Phil Neale (an absolute must for ICC 2010 so probably not applicable) is a gun keeper

good luck, this would be far easier if u chose to do it with Pakistan, just about every player is under 25

C Woakes Kills 4 me. Im playing Durham and last season (2010) he took 121 wickets at an avrage of 29.62!
