Cricket Captain 2006

I finally found a youngster that has the last name Bradman! Michael Bradman. He's actually very good, in the second team he averages 67 and in my first season with him he scored 1782 runs at an average of 81!

What teams have you played as so far?

here's the bowling card

Whoa! ryanwkp you managed to score 1446 runs in 4 days (360 overs/90 overs a day). I tried batting the whole day once I scored 1337 for 7 but in 432 overs.


Robbie: I think i've nearly been every team for about one game. These are the players from each county that i played well with.

Derbyshire: NONE, probaly the worst team i have played as.

Durham: Ben Harmison, Gary Park, Dale Benkenstien, Kyle Coetzer, I know that there are good quality pace bowlers in Durham but as i posted earlier i can't seem to take wickets with them. I've also won the county championship with Durham.

Essex: Bopara, Chopra, Jefferson, Both Flowers, Ten Doschate, Gough, Essex are a good allround team and have quality allrounders and batsman. Bowlers are a little bit weak and lots of players will retire the next season.

Glamorgan: Powell, Hemp, Not the best team i have played with.

Gloucestershire: Gidman, Harvey, Lewis, I couldn't get the batting order right so my batting fell apart.

Hampshire: Ervine, Carberry, Pieterson, Crawley, Lamb, Udal, Tremlett, A very orgainised team with equal batting and bowling ability throughout the team. I found that the standout was Lamb. The allrounder took 121 wickets in a season and scored 923 runs. Udal can be useful as well but plays best when in a spinning partnership. I managed to come second in the county championship and 1st in the pro league.

Kent: Key, Kemp, Saggers, I actually managed to bowl well with Kent but couldn't get it all together with the bat. Didn't win a thing.

Lancashire: Law, Loye, Flintoff, Cork, Chapple, I played well with Lancashire won every trophy except county in a season. With a few descent overseas spinners are a strong team.

Leicestershire: Ackerman, Habib, Nixon, Broad, Henderson, I couldn't do anything with this team!

Middlesex: Compton, Joyce, Strauss, Shah, Dalrymple, Silverwood, I played very well with Middlesex, They may need a good overseas spinner but are very competative.

Northampshire: Panesar, Klusener, Sales, Panesar was a huge standout but couldn;t bat well enough to win anything.

Nottinghampshire: Shreck, Sidebottom, The bowlers played a big role when i played took wicket and chipped in with 20s and 30s.

Somerset: Trescothic, Dursten, Hildreth, caddi£k, Johnson,Willoughby. Played well in the limited over games but couldn't get anything going in the county championship. If your going to play as Somerset try and sign a good overseas batsman.

Surrey: Since i go for this team i might be a little baised . Everyone! Surrey is a great team, i kept winning the county championships every year! Clarke and Newman were fantastic! GO SURREY!

Sussex: Goodwin, Rayner, Martin-Jenkins, Prior, Yardy, A good team but you will need an overseas batsman to win a trophy.

Warwickshire: I've currently got two files set up, Warickshire and Surrey. Warickshire is the second best team i have played as. Bell, Trott, Wagh, Brown, Tahir, Giles are great players and should be that hard to challenge for the champioship right away.

Worcestshire: Hick, Moore, Solanki, Mason, Moore is definalty a highlight but i couldn'd do much to help the bowling.

Yorkshire: McGrath, Vaughan, White, Hoggard, Rashid, Rashid was a complete standout! He took over 100 wickets every year! Although the problem was that he kepy going on international duty and my team sufficated without him. Yorkshire are a good team to play with.

Well I hope that helped you choose a team! This is only my opinion. I didn't include any international players. Choose wisely!



Whoa I got carried away there! I think thats the longest post I've ever posted!

That's a fantastic team, probably could beat mine anyday. How old is each player?

I signed him in 2011. By that time he had a batting average of 61.54 and a bowling average of 36.01. I couldn't believe he was a bowler either!

It's in the year 2007 in the game, it's the Ashes Edition 2006/07 version of the game, I downloaded the Sky Sports skin from another website.

Dan Cullen should be sold if you're not going to play him, you should consider the ages of players before buying them

i have added ages to my team for anyone interested

Well done Robbie you've done really well! I'm definatly impressed by the way you are going in the County Championship. What place are you coming in the 50 over game? I think in the next edition of cricket captain they should include the ability to trade players with other teams on the internet. For example after you play an internet game you could have the option to trade a player with the other person. Of course you could only have 2 international players. Well keep up the good work robbie!

70_Degrees_Spin: For such a young team it scares me to think that some of your players may not have reached thier full potential!

I'm Somerset as well Robbie, only started it this morning, so far I've won 2 out of 3 County Championship games and won 1 out of 2 Challenge Trophy matches, annoyingly Trescothick is on international duty with England so I'm opening with Matthew Wood and Neil Edwards in County Championship, and Edwards and Carl Gazzard in the Challenge Trophy, Cameron White is a really good pinch-hitter too, I made a steady opening partnership chasing around 260 and I was 80-1 off 20 overs and I brought him in on full aggresion and he smashed 58 off 31 balls.

My opening bowlers are caddi£k and Willoughby with Johnson and Munday as my main bowlers in the County Championship with Blackwell, White and Parsons bowling too, in the one-day game I put in Phillips or Laraman for Munday becuse he's not that good in one-day cricket.

So I guess White or Blackwell is your main spinner then? I don't ever use Durston, Trego, Andrew or Francis amongst others, I would use Trescothick but he's away on international duty at the World Cup. So is Spurway your keeper or not? On my game he's out injured for 4 months with a broken leg.

here is my team Freddie without Trescothick
