Best Players in International Cricket Captain

Who is THE best player in International Cricket Captain? Well, the answer is that it doesn't really matter. The point is that you should have a whole team of good players in order to achieve. After all, it's no good having Brian Lara when all of your other batsmen average under 25.

Following is a list of the best players in ICC using the default database which I have experienced.
Also available on most players - examples of career stats taken from games I have played.

 

POS

PLAYER NAME

COMMENT

Mark Butcher Usually available start of 2nd Season. Becomes consistent performer for your team if trained. Can bowl. Cheap.

Alex Tudor Another one available early. Good young player - can be trained up to be a good strike bowler.

D. Mascarenhas Similarly to Tudor, a good young player who can be trained to average about 25.

Ashley Giles Good bowling all-rounder. Available 3rd-4th season if at all. Never gets picked for England.

Scott Willis Snap this guy up when you can! Best English Keeper - have a back-up though - often called up.

Paul Nixon Good keeper, still quite young. Becomes available quite late on, though.

Owais Shah Can be used as a decent back-up batsman when players are called up. Quite cheap, too.

Ben Hollioake The younger of the Hollioake brothers, and the better bowler of the two. Good young acquisition. RIP, mate.

Adam Hollioake Tougher to get, the batting Hollioake usually becomes an England regular. One of best batsmen in England.

Scott Ellis Ah yes, now down to the business! Ellis becomes a quality player - get 'im as soon as you can!

John Crawley Hard to get unless you're Lancs. Quality player. Be warned, though, may become an England regular!

Jimmy Ormond Can achieve more than 1000 career wickets. Buy him ASAP.

John Lewis Similar to the bowlers mentioned above, Lewis often becomes one of England's best bowlers.

Dougie Brown Has potential to be England regular. Bats as well, getting you out of some tough situations.

Ed Smith Begins the game with an average of 40. Best opener in England? Averages 35ish over his career.


Overseas Players

[ Top ]

Brian Lara The best batsman in the game. A bit expensive, but worth it. Warning: tends to have one or two off seasons.

Matthew Elliott Best overseas opener in the game. Consistent. Quite reasonable wage.

Ricky Ponting The second best batsman in the game? Along with Bevan. Doesn't come along often, though.

Andy Flower Brilliant batsman and keeper. Excellent addition in at number six in the order.

D. Benkenstein Becomes available quite early. Use mainly as batsman who bowls a little bit for best results.

Jacques Kallis If he doesn't perform with the bat, he'll have a good match with the ball. Very useful, but a bit expensive.  

Lance Klusener Like his countryman Kallis, useful with both bat and ball. Gives you extra batting strength and a world class bowler.  

Sean Pollock Very good bowler who can get you a few runs also.  

Shane Warne Leg spinners have an advantage in ICC. Warne can get you wickets on any track, not just turning ones.  

Other good players to look out for:

Kevin Dean Bwl

Will Kendall Wk Zachary Morris Bwl Phil Weston Bat

Melvyn Betts Bwl

Alamgir Sheriyar Bwl Ian Sutcliffe Bat J Hewitt Bwl
Glen Chapple Bwl Vikram Solanki A/R S Stubbings Bat Kevin Dean Bwl
Chris Silverwood Bwl Dominic Cork A/R Mal Loye Bat Darren Gough Bwl
Ronnie Irani A/R Robert Croft A/R Ed Smith Bat Ian Austin A/R
Adam Gilchrist W/K Murray Goodwin Bat Ajay Sharma A/R Andy Bichel Bwl

Worst Players in International Cricket Captain

[ Top ]

There's a number of players in ICC that are simply not worth bothering with - don't even try to train these guys up! Often they'll only achieve moderate averages, so only use them as backup if totally necessary.

MJ Hoggard Bwl

Depesh Patel Bwl

Floyd Reifer Bat/Wk

Jamie Grove Bwl

James Averis Bwl

Martin Saggers Bwl
