 Topic: JP's International Cricket Sim - Season 3...Posted: 05 December 2010 at 11:14am |
|
|
After the third season was postponed due to a combination of volcanic ash problems, contractual issues and shareholder disputes, South Africa will finally get their chance to make it a hat-trick as JP's International Cricket League returns...
...here's the deal, for those of you who aren't sure how it works: - You take charge of a national team - You name a squad to last you through the season - You pick your team for each Test match - Winner takes all (exact points system to be decided) Now, as it's been a while since the last season, I'm pretty sure that the only previously involved managers still around are Sledger (England), Clobber (England A / Scotland) and spin wizard (West Indies A), I'm thinking of changing the format slightly and having one big league where everybody plays each other home and away so it's up to you if you'd like to take on an A team (that is you pick your squad from what's left after the first-team squad is picked) or a lesser nation. I'll probably make up the numbers with other squads so there is space for incoming managers and possibly have a lower division. We'll see how things go - please use this thread for expressing your interest, claiming teams, and asking any questions. Here's the list of who is involved so far: England - Sledger England A - Clobber West Indies - Spin Wizard Afghanistan - Abubakar52 Australia - Bladescape Pakistan - Zuhair Abbasi India - Sam_Ahmed India A - Dips_December You are limited to currently active (i.e not retired or retired from international cricket) players. Players banned by their respective boards/ICC get a clean bill of health from me as there are no drugs or bookmakers involved in the simulator I'm using. By the way, you are more than welcome to take control of any international side, from the likes of Scotland or Ireland to Namibia or France. Edited by -JP- - 11 December 2010 at 11:01am |

I will happily run England A once again JP, and keep my fingers crossed that Sledger leaves me a few morsels to select.

I'll go back with West Indies A although it will really be the Windies senior team players. On Second thoughts, I'll take West Indies, forget the A. |

No problem - have a look at the first two seasons to see how it all worked if you like...season one and season two.Points system: 5 points for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 bonus point for a first-innings lead in a drawn or lost match. Nice and simple.Pitch conditions - your choice and the following options available to you:Excellent, Good, Normal, Worn, Greenplus - Bounce - Excessive, high, normal, low, very lowand - outfield - Very Fast, fast, medium, slow heavySquads of 16 for each team Edited by -JP- - 18 December 2010 at 11:48pm |

Obviously, if Sledger doesn't want to do it, I will graciously accept promotion to the full team!

There's a buzz up north with the announcement of Sledger's England Squad - some surprising inclusions , not least because of their respective ages !
A. Cook A. Strauss J. Trott K.Pietersen E.Morgan I.Bell P.Collingwood M.Prior (w/k) L.Sutton (w/k) G.Swann G.Keedy S.Broad S.Finn J.Anderson C.Tremlett G.Chappell The inclusion of Chappell , Keedy and Sutton has absolutely nothing to do with county allegiences ! |

Sledger, before reading your final line, I was thinking surely it was Lancashire allegience.

Wasn't that disease related to out of the country games only?

I considered him but his Test match record wasn't good enough and would have resulted in him being a far weaker player in the game than he actually is.

hmmmm, I appear to have forgotten Steve Harmison. I think I was so tied up choosing between Allenby and Bresnan before realising I had three keepers, so was relieved I could get both in there and as a result forgot poor old Harmy. Oh well.

Actually, he has retired from international cricket, so you're now an opener short - perhaps room for Harmison yet!

hang on hang on, didn't you read The Times today?
Trescothick Back In The Frame Marcus Trescothick has sensationally gone back on his retirement from international cricket - but only to play for the England A side. "My good friend Clobber called me and asked me if I would make myself available, and I couldn't say no to him, he's such a great bloke, so I am willing to play for any team that he, and only he, manages". A delighted Clobber said "Looks like I am not an opener short after all". The Times understands that no other cricketers around the world will be renouncing their international retirements.
