Cricket World XI Story - IPL

A little side thread from the main one concerning the Cricket World IPL. Matches, statistics etc will be posted here.

The captains are Bondy, MP12, Samhache and Monty who will bid on Cricket World sim members and real life players just like in the real IPL. After the teams are selected, they play each other twice in a T20 competition using a simulator to produce results and scorecards.

Anyone who is not currently involved with the Cricket World XI sim can join. All you have to do is put down your favoured batting position, whether you are a bowler or batsman, what you bowl and a fielding rating out of 10.

Terrific start fellas.  Lets get this kicking! Come in Sammy, Monty.

Great, we've got a new thread and interest in the sim seems to be good.

Where the hells Monty? I'm annoyed at the turnout for this thread so far! Have you PM-MP?

Originally posted by samhache Great, we've got a new thread and interest in the sim seems to be good. Alright, as captains do we need to name our teams??

We can name our teams if we want.

Originally posted by samhache And, can we bid for multiple players at once??

Yeah that's fine

Originally posted by NZ_Fast So theres no limit a little like the IPL that ' you have to have x amount of CW players in your team'?

I think we will. I think we should increase the squad size to 15 (That way nearly all the CWXI players will have a team and actually have a chance play matches). If we do this then it will most likely be something like this:

Minimum and Maximum amount of players allowed from each team.

2-5 CWXI players, 0-3 AUS, 0-3 IND, 0-2 NZ, 0-2 PAK, 0-1 WI, 0-2 SA, 0-2 SRI, 0-1 ENG

We'll need to confirm this though. What does everyone think or should we use a salary cap?

before the teams are picked and that

My team will be called the "Southern Sharks United"

Wow! Can't wait for this thing to start. I am currently out of station so I will be back on Monday.

i will be a captain im sure i asked on the normal thread if that is possible??????

let robbie be captin i think he will be a good one!

You don't sign on enough to be captain Robbie - fishcake will be captain this time round.

Alright then so the last captain is Fishcake.

Now concerning the bidding.

I think we'll use these guideline to buy players:

- You must have 2 CW players in your squad with a maximum of 5
- You can have a maximum of 3 players from both Australia and India
- You can have a maximum of 2 players from South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka
- You can only have a maximum of just 1 players from both England and the West Indies

- You must have a minimum of 15 players (Not including yourself) in your team
- The minimum amount you can bid for a player is $200,000
- You will have $9,000,000 to bid for players ($600,000 per player)
- Bids must be PM'ed to me
- To start each captain will need to name 6 players they want to bid for and the price they are willing to pay. The highest amount will win the player. After each captain has named PM'ed thier 6 bids I will name who has won each player (I won't view any bids until everyone has sent thier bids in, that way I can't cheat)
- After this I'll reveal how much money each team has left and we'll continue the bidding with unlimited bids until each team has either used up all thier money or are happy with thier team.

(I feel like I'm forgetting something)

I guess the bidding will start now (Samhache you'll need to send me those bids again) and hopefully if we all come online this whole bidding process should be finished by Sunday, Monday-ish.

Any questions or something you would like to add?
