    Where are they now?

    Track down your old stars. Are they still playing regular weekly cricket? Or are they relegated to the sub bench? Or, have they given it up completely and gone off to be a double glazing salesman? Will post mine up later...

    The Editing Thread

    Didn't see a similar thread so thought I'd start it off. Codies have gone with the .bag format as before, and Baggi Studios seems to work fine. This is great news and saves us alot of time. Hopefully they won't change the format before the game is released. I had a look at the...

    Skin project

    I just had an idea - how about making a Windows Media Player skin, based on Planetcricket or just cricket in general? I've made them before, they're fairly easy. Unfortunately my graphics skills are mediocre at best, and I know there are some really talented graphics makers on this forum. If...

    Story PCC Warmup games and other competitions

    This thread is supposed to run parellel to Brett_Lees fantastic story thread. This is not meant to steal the story away from him, rather the opposite. The thread is getting too spammed up with warmup games etc. Hopefully this thread will make life a bit easier for people so that they don't have...

    Discuss things like HTML, Javascript, PHP, CGI, AJAX etc in this thread. I learnt HTML a couple of years ago, and followed up with a bit of javascript after learning programming with Visual Basic etc. To practice and learn PHP it is definitely essential to get your own server, this is quite...

    Your Cricket Spin Bowling thread

    This is a similar idea to Manees, infact almost a mirror, but with the spinners here. Like me. I've been a legspinner for a year and a bit now, when I started I could find massive turn, abit of accuracy. Now, a year on, the accuracys abit more all over the place, but I'm having problems...

    A virgins nightmare

    I just got this off a chain letter I just recieved (could be classed as inappropiate, but its quite mature): A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that after...

    PC Down again

    Sorry for the obvious problem, which obviously is getting some fixes, but for the record PC was down yesterday from about 2 PM, and was a bit patchy this morning, with a few of the dreaded database error. Sorry to have to waste space, but someone has to post one of these threads and seeing as...

Flight Simulator in Spitfires and Hurricanes (and loads of other planes) shooting at each other. It also has a great Campaign...

    Who read the rules?

    I'm just wondering, who read the planetcricket rules soon after they joined? I mean, didn't read them for a while or until being told off for violating them? I only ask because of the amount of new users we've had, who've just joined and created a thread that in some way or another breaks...

    Chavs, Happy Slappers, Lowlifes and Violence

    This thread is to do with experiences of chavs. I felt that the Funny School Stories was getting a bit clogged up with arguments about violence (hwo ironic :D ) , so I created this thread just so that the other thread doesn't get closed. Heres my original post on the other thread (now deleted...

    Your Cricket Refurbishing a bat

    I've been using my dads ancient GM Cannon, and will be using it till my birthday in October. Its still going strong (must be 15-20 years old) but I just want to make sure it won't snap in half suddenly :rolleyes: . Basically, the hardest job so far is fitting the damn grip on. We bought a...
