American Cricket League II - Round 1 - Line-ups

[Varun]

I'm always ready.

Washington Eagles for me. Too bad they're 0-2 and failed to win a practice match

I'm still in charge of Washington IIRC. I wondered what happened to this. It wasn't going too well for my team.

Ok, i'm thinking of doing something big for the re-lauch. But first i need to find out if all the previous managers are still around. I think they are (apart from TGK), so Brent i might have a team for you.

 

[Pranav]

I am still interested in managing my team, but only if you promise to finish the league this time around.

 

[Aussie Team]

I'm in

Ok, so 6 people are in, Bilal and Dipak have both replied to my pm as well as you guys posting in the thread. Only rahulkhush and thegreatkhan are left, i'm not sure whether tgk is still active or not, but i would have though rahul would have replied.

 

[Varun]

Rahul is not active either. He posted in the Leagues discussion that he had left all the leagues except NZPL.

 

[Bilalshuja]

thegreatkhan has been not active for a long time.so you can give a team to any other person.

 

[harrisb]

Ok, GC, you can choose from either Rahuls of tgks team.

 

[Prats]

I'm also interested in managing a team

Take you pick from the two that haven't been taken.

Right, just got to find a manager for the 8th team (whichever team Good doesn't pick) and then we can start.

Here are my plans for this from now on;

- At least 1 match to be played every day (if i get the line-ups), but i'm hoping to be able to post at least 2 matches every day.

- For Season 2, I hope that I will find 2 managers who will be able to expand the number of teams to 10. I'm going to rebrand the league to "American State Cricket". This will consist of the OD Competition remaining as it is now, and a FC Knockout being introduced as a Pre-Season thing.

- However, State Cricket means that only one team can be from each state, there are plenty of states, but a few teams will have to have a play-off to determine which team represents their state, and which team moves to another state. Some teams will then have to be re-named as well.

More details regarding Season 2 will be made known soon.

 

[Prats]

I'm confused Harrisb. Which teams are available? As informed by you in 3rd point. should we now take any state as a team?

So just be patient.

 

[harrisb]

Good, we are only half way through season 1, which will resume when all the teams are taken.

You can choose between either Miami or Texas, they are the two teams who need new managers.

Another idea I have had for Season 2 is allowing players from other Associate nations in the Americas to be counted as local players, this could boost the numbers of local players in the squads and playing XI's, plus making this league the true "American Cricket Competition"

At the moment, I have been going through Cricinfo's A-Z of USA players, which is taking some time, but including players from Argentina, Bermuda etc. would give you even more players to choose from instead of having to pick players that nobody has ever heard of.
