ICC Challenge
Idea I just had - a youngster one.
Rules of the Challenge: - Take a side to glory, but..... - ...you cannot use players with any experience. This means that you'll have to rely on rookies for your wins! - Any ICC version is acceptable, but it must be played with normal. - Any side is acceptable. - Winner is who takes a side the quickest to a title. - Game starts after the first season (as for the first you still have the original squad there). Good luck. You're probably gonna need it.

Regens or uncapped players only IMO. Guys with 5-6 FC matches at the start always suck.
I spent 3 years pouring technique training into Jos Buttler in ICC 2010, but because he came in with a FC average of 19 from 5 games, he only ever made one ton for me. And sucked big time in limited overs games. |

Simmed the 2nd season. Laptop ran out of battery; however still not enough regens available to even form a side.
Initial crop of five look solid. Stats are pretty good for simmed matches: N Bowen: 1,099 runs @ 40.70 - 23 wickets @ 52.61 J Westwood: 1,033 runs @ 34.43 - 28 wickets @ 56.04 S Wodehouse: 1,288 runs @ 37.88 - 4 wickets @ 17.25 G Kroll: 1,013 runs @ 31.66 G Pettifer: 608 runs @ 28.95 Wodehouse also played 4 Tests. 282 runs @ 35.25 Leaving this challenge to others for the time being. It's going to take at a minimum an additional two seasons to even come close to a squad. |

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
Bedfordshire Join The League Post 44 relates how Lincolnshire won the CC in Season #3 with ten rookies and one Samaraweera.
