Some may notice my stoppage in the CW XI sim,that is because I was setting up a sim.(Like team sim instead of player sim).
It is somewhat similar to JP's.(You can sue me afterwards!  )
I.E.You can choose where-ever you want as your home base.(However,you don't get a star player from your home,so you can have a team based in the USA!) I'm going to use a draft method rather then the auction type used by JP. You set the pitch by choosing 1 or 10 or anything inbetween,like so: Pace:5 Bounce:5 Spin:5 10 means hard for batters,and 1 easy,the bowlers will benifit differently depending on the combonation. There'll be a pool to choose from soon,but I'm still compiling it. Milky:Victorian Vipers(MCG) Team:M.Johnson,J.Kallis,S.Mushtaq,K.Pietersen,S.Pollock,M.Prior,M.Hussey,P.Hughes,A.Mendis,S.Jayasuriya,D.Hussey,N.Bracken,I.Harvey,Y.Khan,A.Prince,B.McCullum,I.Pathan,Y.Singh,O.Shah,L.Malinga Zuhair:Karachi Dolphins(Karachi stadium) Team:S.Tendulkar,J.P.Duminy,K.Sangakkara,S.Akhtar,Z.Khan,B.Hilfenhaus,A.Kumble,A.Strauss,M.North,P.Collingwood,I.Trott,G.Onions,U.Akmal,D.Kaneria,M.Patel,S.Broad,U.Amin,C.Martin,C.Ferguson,G.Elliott Raj:Modi's Army(Sawai Mansingh Stadium) Team:R.Sharma,S.Raina,G.Gambhir,A.B.De Villiers,D.Bravo,L.Klusener,A.Morkel,F.Alam,N.Miller,D.Wiese,P.Chawla,P.Kumar,M.Aamir,S.Badrinath,K.Akmal,R.Uthappa,S.Sreesanth,C.Wright Dips:Kolkata Tigers(Eden Gardens) Team:R.Dravid,J.Langer,B.Lee,G.Swann,M.Boucher,R.Naved-Ul-Hasan,A.Nehra,V.V.S.Laxman,S.Ganguly,A.Agarkar,M.Attapattu,A.Matthews,C.Vaas,R.Taylor,H.Gibbs,M.Goodwin,S.Afridi,A.McDonald,S.Harmison,V.Kohli Spin:West Indian Eaters(Kensington Oval) Team:S.Warne,V.Sehwag,D.Steyn,S.Chanderpaul,B.Haddin,P.Jaques,S.Ajmaal,U.Gul,A.Razzaq,B.Hodge,R.Sarwan,T.Dilshan,C.White,A.Nel,A.Barath,R.Rampaul,P.Siddle,D.Ramdin Mystery:IPL Killers(Lahore) Team:G.McGrath,A.Gilchrist,M.Muralidaran,M.Hayden,A.Flintoff,S.Katich,I.Farhat,P.Ojha,J.Oram,M.Henriques,A.Mishra,M.Ntini,U.Chandana,R.Key,N.Zoysa,A.Voges,J.Anderson,C.Gayle NZ_Fast:Canterbury Crushers(Christchurch) Team:R.Ponting,S.Bond,S.Watson,H.Singh,M.Trescothick,S.Clark,D.Karthik,M.Jayawardene,T.Sameraweera,S.Tait,W.Jaffer,H.Herath,M.Ul-Haq,H.Kuhn,M.Tiwary,D.Nannes,N.Kulasakera,J.Ryder,E.Rainsford Sam:Hyderabad Victors(Rajiv Gandhi Stadium) Team:M.S.Dhoni,S.Ul-Hasan,G.Smith,M.Asif,M.Clarke,D.Vettori,S.Butt,M.Yousuf,D.Bollinger,H.Amla,J.Taylor,A.Cook,M.Mortoza,T.Paine,S.Malik,W.Parnell,A.Rashid,D.Fernando,R.Ten Doeschate,J.Krezja ------------- You know, I'm trying to decide whether to change my siggy or not... |

It'll be simple Milks, we select a squad of players and the fixtures will be decided by Blade. He'll simulate all the matches depending upon the playing eleven that we select for each game. I believe in home games we can decide what type of pitch, outfield etc we want. After each game is done, blade will put up the score cards and results.

Maybe our friend Raj is shell shocked on all IPL teams out of the CL. But we did see Modi with to blackberrys in IPL and CL - did we not? ------------- http://thecricketinsight.blogspot.com/ |

Haha! Yes! But Blackberries use the mobile data network not the national broadband or cable lines. Anyway, I think Mystery's team name is fitting - IPL Killers! Although perhaps it's fair to say that the IPL teams committed suicide!

Extra half second for??? Not judging the bouncer on fast tracks? Maybe... But surely is there an award for me for guessing Raj's firs pick? ------------- http://thecricketinsight.blogspot.com/ |

wow, superb pick Zuhair... the best in the business is in your team!!! Now thats what I call sensible selection, no biasedness, nationaliy not an issue! one reason why I so often get so close but still not win these fantasy games is because I'll always have my favourite players in my team!  ------------- God is a better planner... so whenever u'r plan fails, cheer up...

If cricket was a religion - Sachin has to be one of the god's Sam. He is one player who is loved everywhere in Pakistan (not the case with many other Indian greats i must admit.)It is also to do with the humble person he is other than being a great at the game. ------------- http://thecricketinsight.blogspot.com/ |

Just like Imran was loved all over South Asia. Javed Miandad on the other hand...

Miandad was to Indians what Gavaskar was to Pakistanis. ------------- http://thecricketinsight.blogspot.com/ |

But Imran probably was loved more because of the aura he had about him and the personality he was. but Sachin's case is a bit different. He has zero arrogance for a player of his class and is such a down to earth person. I remember being in a one day game at Karachi - where the capacity ground was all shouting Sachin Sachin in chorus - he went on to score 98 though. ------------- http://thecricketinsight.blogspot.com/ |

Miandad and Gavaskar are both highly unliked here in Australia!! Gavaskar is a blatant racist and Miandad is just one of those obnoxious characters that gets on everyone's nerves, like Harbhajan. ------------- Ideal cricketer: Bowl like Warne, bat like Tendulkar, field like Jonty!! |

Miandad was disliked by most of his opponents - he was termed a street fighter. But certainly I must say you have to find a better comparison than Harbhajan. ------------- http://thecricketinsight.blogspot.com/ |

That's what people here compare him to. I have to say , personally, that Sunil Gavaskar is much worse. Read any of that rubbish he writes and listen to his commentary. A white man can never do anything right in his opinion.

That's one example , but yes he doesn't like Pakis either. He called Proctor a racist because he sent that ban down on Singh, despite the fact that Proctor was a leading anti apartheid advocate. Some of the things he accuses the 'white' countries like Australia , SA, England, NZ of is basically reverse racism. When he commentates I put my television on mute.

We live in a multicultural,multiethnic enviormnet and it is really hard to know what terms are reffered as racist.Even I did not know about it.It is always better to know than land in trouble.
EDIT: Please consider this as an information and do not derive any other meaning out of this. ------------- Race to No 1 again ... started! |

Paki is not racist. The suffix -stan simply means land of, with Paki meaning 'Pure'. I don't understand how that is racist. Please enlighten me.
