guys in the next game plzzz make a option where we can skip a whole season at once and not by skipping each and every match

Why u want to skip season
Play all matches its fun

[TheSussexShark]

Any chance of Lewis Hatchett and Will Adkin being added to the Sussex squad? They've both made LVCC débuts recently.

This should be in bold and capital letters!

[dancingmongoose]

no they shouldn't be added in the default squad but as the youth players you get mid season but then there is the problem that the game will play hatchett for england in 2011

[Ozzie9876]

Wasn't sure whether this was a bug or whatever, so put it in here.

Playing an "Australian Career" (not sure if same problem happens in International Career or English Career) what I've noticed is that the AI from all the other states refuses to pick young talents like Josh Hazlewood, James Pattinson, Alister McDermott etc in their state squads.

In real life these kids all have HUGE futures ahead of them, and in Hazlewood's case he has already played an ODI for Australia.

And what makes it worse is that they retire the following season (when they are all aged below 20) if they don't get picked in the state squad the previous year.

Can this be fixed with the next patch for ICC 2010 or will we have to wait till 2011 ICC game for this to be fixed?

It's because the creators don't rate those players that high. It's agree that it's not very realistic.

They have made debuts so they are actullay part of the squad so they should be in the squad and this goes for every player that has made a debut. Chris Wood was included in ICC10 when he had not made a debut!

I suppose each player's skill level is subjective (though Hazlewood/Pattinson will be the best fast bowling combination in world cricket within 5 years imo, just watch).

I suppose my point isn't that they aren't good enough, it's that they retire at 19/20 (players shouldn't be retiring till AT LEAST 34) if they don't get picked in their respective state squads.

What should happen is that if they don't get picked for their state, they have a year playing second team cricket (all the while improving their abilities). So for the next season when contract time comes around they may have improved enough to warrant selection.

Playing as Victoria James Pattinson took a few years to get good but now he is a gun bowler and scraping the national team.

[dancingmongoose]

dave warner's batting needs to be improved he rarely scores double figures
finn's bowling needs to go up
hauritz needs an improve in both batting and bowling
steve smith batting down bowling up
hopes bowling up

and why dont australia play the friendly against ireland?
and why arent ireland and netherlands and kenya on the ODI ladder
for ICC2011 we need to have associate rankings also and associates + zimbabwe playable

[Chewie]

Warner is crap anyway
Finn's not proven himself comprehensively yet
Hauritz's done nothing worthwhile with the bat
Smith's bowling is good enough in the game, he's not the greatest irl.
Hopes should probably go up

I think those games/teams aren't there because it's quite difficult to implement. They'll probably be trying to get them in in the future though

I resent you calling Warner 'crap' as he is currently one of the best T20 openers around.

Plus I think Stuart Broad should be considered an all-rounder.

There are people who are WAY worse than him who have all-rounder status.

[Imager36]

He isn't an allrounder in the same way Mike Yardy isn't, imo. An average of 12.87 in List A cricket isn't befitting of an allrounder.

[ab5ides1]

Why is Tim MacDonald an all-rounder?

[Chasjs]

Whether a player is an all-rounder or not is a difficult subject. Take Lancs for example.

Steven Croft - Batsman
In previous versions Croft has been an all-rounder. This year he's rightly just a batsman, sure his bowling is useful but he's in the side for his batting.

Glen Chapple - Bowler
Chapple has been described as an all-rounder but despite a good average and a few centuries he's in a similar boat to Broad. Very good with the bat but he'll never get in the team if he couldn't bowl (Yes, even at Lancs where he had the fifth highest batting average last year).

Tom Smith - All-Rounder
Smith has even opened the batting a few times in the last two seasons. He's also bowled well in that time, sometimes opening the bowling and is probably the sides third choice seamer behind Chapple and Mahmood (Assuming Flintoff is injured and Anderson is playing for England/resting). In fact, when he couldn't buy a run earlier in the season he had his place saved in the side by his bowling and he dropped down the order. In the same way if he lost his bowling form completely he'd still stand a good chance of makings the side as a batter with his bowling used if an extra seamer is required.

But it's still a bit of a grey area. If you reduced this to a black and white set of rules then you might question why Collingwood and Swann are all-rounders. Maybe they shouldn't be. Maybe they are exceptions that fit the rule.

The other problem is that if you made Broad an all-rounder then you'd probably have to make Bopara, Trott, Johnson, Woakes, Chapple, Croft, Shahzad, Yardy, Mahmood(On current form ), Y Singh, M Morkel, Botha, van der Merwe, Vaas, Sehwag (which would cause a problem, he's an opener), Clarke, Katich (read Sehwag), North, White and Duminy, etc. all-rounders aswell. Okay, maybe some are going a bit far but you probably see the point by now.

[Chasjs]

Why is Tim MacDonald an all-rounder?

Maybe we should make a list of players who probably shouldn't be all-rounders anymore.

I think with the batters who can bowl a bit they are in alot of cases classed as all-rounders to help the AI bowl them a bit more often, but in most cases it doesn't seem to work.
