JP�s Cricket Sim: World Cup - Cricket Forum | Cricket Discussion Forum

Ok it is 4pm SA Time at this stage still tied, will we decide Monday??

Some of the other members has also not yet send their squads, SA and India coaches. Maybe they don't know about this yet?

I saw into the future - Ashes 2009 England 3 Australia 1!

OK, we'll decide when everyone has had their say, then we'll get on with the tournament - as I don't have all the squads, I probably wouldn't be able to start on Monday anyway.

So far it's 2-1 against the idea of being able to name 5 ODI legends in your squad.

Sounds like a majority to me \0/

I see you already have started the World Cup sim, can we then maybe look at the option of choosing 5 legends(players playing ODI's for their country in the past) in a group of 18.We determine their stats as at the end of their careers.

For Example Ramzi can not select D.Bradman because he has not played ODI's but he can choose Dean Jones or Mark Waugh.

Otherwise it will be a toss up between RSA and Australia once again, it could be really fun to see how Viv Richards or Graham Gooch have done against todays players.

That make it clearer warnester?

Just found this thread!!!

Here is my squad for the World Cup (which we shall comfortably wipe the floor in):

R.Dravid; V.Sehwag; G.Gambhir; W.Jaffer; S.Tendulkar, VVS.Laxman; Y.Singh; S.Ganguly; M.Dhoni; P.Patel; I.Pathan; Z.Khan; A.Agarkar; RP Singh; A.Kumble; H.Singh

you can have as many legends as you want\?

havent got a clue who they are, because beleive it or not, cricket was one of my most hated sports before the beggining of 2005

do you know what, i disagree, i think there is no poit medalling with the system and just keep it modernised, it would be alot easier for those who dont have great teams. Just keep it to 2006 please

i agree with warnster.

i think it puts teams that dont have legends at even more of a disadvantage so i say no

go hard or go home

it's a landslide

OK, no legends, here's the schedule, we'll start on Wednesday if that's ok with everyone.

Group games

Wednesday: Australia v Scotland, South Africa v Netherlands, Sri Lanka v Bermuda, India v Bangladesh, Kenya v Canada, England v New Zealand, Zimbabwe v Ireland, West Indies v Pakistan

Thursday: Australia v Netherlands, South Africa v Scotland, India v Bermuda, Sri Lanka v Bangladesh, England v Canada, Kenya v New Zealand, Pakistan v Ireland, West Indies v Zimbabwe

Friday/Saturday: Scotland v Netherlands, Australia v South Africa, India v Sri Lanka, Bermuda v Bangladesh, New Zealand v Canada, England v Kenya, Zimbabwe v Pakistan, West Indies v Ireland

Next week, Super 8:

Week after, Semi-finals and Final

So far, I only have squads from England, Sri Lanka, West Indies, India, Scotland, Australia and Pakistan. If no squads are forthcoming by tomorrow from the others, I'll let anyone else who is interested take over them. If there's no interest, then we'll just run the World Cup between the squads I have.
