You need to re build your squad mate.Sorry but your current squad just isnt good enough with Cook,Ravi and RTD on international duty.

im gonna look to sign an overseas seamer for the t20, possibly someone like Parnell.

Overseas batsman would be better IMO.You have good enough English seamers IMO.

to be fair though when got relegated cant afford to offer all my players contract extensions had to let some go, and rebuild.

But in one of your earlier posts you said that you had won the CC Div 1.

Why did you break that team up mate?Stick to the winning formula.

mate i have done a number of seasons, and the team that won me the cc div 1, one season, the next season they struggled, hence the relegation, it is tough.

Oh I see.But Essex cant be this bad.

Ben Harmison is a joke of a player.

So the team that won the season got relegated next year?I am shocked

Probably your batsmen played a bit too aggressively and threw their wkts away like Pakistan lol.

my team will get back to div 1

How are they doing now?

shanky to be hones, just as in real life, more competitive in limited overs cricket.

Four ball Saj is bowling dross as always.

my openers are in good form but thats about it lol.

Come on someone plz take four ball Saj away and give me some money to buy a new guy lol

lol, i want andrew gale.

CF
How about Trezza?

i would want him, but somerset would never release him lol.

i've seen some strange releases on that game before so you never know

i doubt they will release tresco lol.

I will have to release four ball Saj now.

my players just cant string any wins together

danielle Wyatt should be on cricket captain..

been on it today and i won the t20

just finished another season, and midtable in div 2

rebuilding my squad again lol, and gonna use young players.

mate all about fifa for me for about the next 3 months or so.... or at least till i get football manager

i dont get what's going on with my side, cos i wont 2 cc with essex, and then just seemed to drop

Maybe you should appoint Ravi as the captain

i will probably not bothering renewing ravi's contract

Is this you who is saying this mate?

yh i could do with someone better to be honest.

My Warwick side is in about 2014 now, James Vince is really hit and miss, I dropped him and then he came back with a fine century after a few games on the sidelines. I also have Bopara, who has been disappointing.

Steven Davies has recently found a sublime run of form at the top of the order, so much so that I'm also playing Bairstow as a keeper/batsman at 8, with Davies a specialist batsman.

Chris Woakes is on fire, along with a youth prospect right arm fast bowler that takes stacks of wickets. Backed up by Adil Rashid and Imran Tahir I have a tremendous side.

lol i signed sreesanth as my overseas for the new season, so see how he goes.

i need someone who can bat 4, and anchor the innings for me.

Ravi

no shanky....Murali will be my t20 overseas signing for the new season.

finished another season.......came 8th in CC

got to semi final of CB40

knocked out in group stage of t20

so on the whole a poor season, expect a lot of players to be released.

Haha I am playing as England, on normal mode, and am up against Zimbabwe in 2012. In the ODI series I've just made 352-3, and Craig Kieswetter opening the innings has hit an incredible 222 from 148 balls, with twenty-seven 4's and six 6's.

im england as well as essex, i gained the national captiancy a while back, and the aussies are in england for the ashes now.

Here is the screenshot. Impressive reading, huh?

Spoiler:

very impressive, who's R campbell?

A youngster that came through. He is an all rounder but bowls right arm fast, so I put him in for the extra pace. He also averages 45 with the bat so I thought I'd give him the ODI series with Zim to see if he could cut it at that level.

Unfortunately he only got to bat in 1 of the 3 games, making 27.

Kieswetter shot to the top of the ODI batsmen rankings, after scoring 145 not out against south africa, along with an 80, and then followed it up with that huge double ton in Zim.

lol that is quality, i bet the bowling figures were awful!

i have let Owais shah go he had a dissapointing season..

in f/c he averaged: 15
in CB40 he averaged: 25
in t20 he averaged: 17

bye bye owais...

CF mate have you signed any good batsman?

i thought i had, but Shah has been a bitter dissapoitnment

Time to revisit Ravi mate?

na i also need a mystery spinner, might have to go after Tahir

Tahir isnt a mystery spinner really.Borthwick maybe?
