Ferd's 1st Indian Story

[Ferd]

Alot of Indian's(not all) have been going on about how the Indian team is really the best. Being Australian and seeing at least 3 hours (and sometimes up to 3 1/2 days) of every Indian game shown on Channel 9 has given me a bit of background info on them and after they almost won the series against Australia I am now intrigued about the current state of the Indian team. This whole story is building to one goal and one goal only. Defeating the Australians away in 03/04! When I get there the story may continue based on popularity and my overall mood with the game and life in general.

So here we go...

Your story will be longer than you expected mate :rolleyes:
ICC2002 does not completely follow the ICC (Cricket Council)
10 year plan, so India doesn't tour Australia until the 04/05 season in the game. You will be hosting SA and ZIM, and touring WI in 03/04. Good luck!

I basically went with the recommended but dropped a couple that wouldn't be around in 03 or 04.
