ill have austrailla a

ok JP so thats 12 teams you should just do 6 in a league and leave out Zimbabwe

so that means the second division will be alot smaller than the first unless we get 8 more teams and the only teams left are really

Can I take Kenya? If so here's my 16 man test squad:

Here's what you can all look forward to as this sim promises to be more detailed, giving you more control over your team than ever before:

1) Pitch and ground conditions - home side will be able to choose the state of the pitch (5 options, ranging from excellent to green), the bounce (again, 5 settings from very high to very low), how fast the outfield is (very fast to heavy).

2) Ability to choose what you want to do if you win the toss

3) Each player can be told how aggressively to play from 1-10 - defaults to 5

4) Night-watchman are automatically sent in when the situation requires it

5) Form is a factor, as is player morale. More to think about before selecting your team.

Just as a reminder, we'll get going with this around the start of May, just in case more players retire after the World Cup.

Plenty of teams available, for example, Zimbabwe, A teams, Holland, Canada etc.

Yes, certainly.

Obviously, you'll have to wait for the bird to pick his squad before you can do yours.

So, here is the updated list:

DIVISION 1

England: Sledger
India: Minimurali
Australia: ramzi
Pakistan: 70DS
South Africa: The Bird
Sri Lanka: Scuudz
New Zealand: Freddie
West Indies: Fishcake

KNOCKOUT TOURNAMENT ENTRANTS/DIVISION 2

Bangladesh: Rifat
Australia A: PaulNixon1
Kenya: ANIL KUMBLE

You'll have to wait, I'm looking at a start just after the World Cup finishes, so maybe a couple of weeks maximum.

I'm hoping it should be worth the wait.

Something else I didn't realise, not only can you set each individual player's aggression levels, there is a team aggression level you can set too.

JP, I think we should let PF make his Aussie B team up. Have Richie Benaud and Merv Hughes' moustache in again!
