No problem. As we haven't quite got as many managers as we've had before, I'll probably start with the managed teams in a league with other teams playing but just being looked after in case others want to join later.

If I had enough, I'd split into two pools and have quarter-finals, but I think a league of eight to start with should be enough. That way we can get things started before Christmas break.

So...

Division One: Afghanistan, Australia, England, England A, India, India A, Pakistan, West Indies

Division Two: Bangladesh, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Scotland, Kenya

Division Three: Netherlands, Canada, Australia A, South Africa A, New Zealand A, Pakistan A, Sri Lanka A

Division Four: West Indies A, Zimbabwe A, Bangladesh A, Namibia, UAE, Bermuda, Uganda

Any late entries will see these leagues change around a little.

Some fixtures will appear soon.

If this game works on FC averages,then I might have a tweak in my side - hope that is allowed.

In that case can I have Raina for Rahane, JP? If its possible Ill have him in!

Okay, fixtures for Division One have been released, so name your teams whenever you like - no injuries for the first week of matches. I'm aiming to get two matches done per week.

Although this should be interesting I liked the SIM we had last year JP, the one where we auctioned playes and had team comprising of players from around the world... That was more fun! I hope we have one more on similar lines in the future!

Clobber, it's India, you should go for the bounciest of pitches.

Clobber - no need to set aggression levels and you can't have Trescothick - like it or not he has retired from international cricket!

I've got Zuhair first!

Venue:WACA
Pitch Condition:
It's the WACA, lots of bounce!
Pace too, but little to no spin available.

Aus XI:
1.Hughes
2.Watson(b)
3.Katich
4.Ponting(c)
5.M.Hussey
6.D.Hussey
7.Haddin(wk)
8.Johnson(2)
9.S.Clark(b)
10.Hilfenhaus(1)
11.Bollinger(b)

The batting line up is slightly odd, with Clarke out of the picture altogether, four paceman comprise the bowling attack with Watto to back them up.

 Blimey , I'm losing it before the competition starts !   Rectified Clobs , back to a regulation XI. I promise they'll be some startling team changes during the season.
