Cricket Leagues - Announcements

[VC the slogger]

I suppose you can have a look at these too, though they're probably not as interesting as the ideas posted above.

• Non-Test XI (from Test-playing countries); eg Franklyn Stephenson, Clive Rice etc
• Non-Test XI (from non-Test playing countries); eg Bart King, Ryan ten Doeschate, Ed Joyce etc
• Test players born in non-Test playing countries; eg Moises Henriques, Henry Olonga etc
• Players who played cricket internationally for more than one country; eg Eoin Morgan, John Traicos, Anderson Cummins etc
• Multi-talented sportsmen, i.e those who were good enough to play cricket & other sports professionally; eg Keith Miller, Maurice Turnbull etc
• World Cup specialists, i.e those who performed better in World Cups than they did elsewhere; eg Gary Gilmour, John Davison, Geoff Allott etc
• Players who excelled in one World Cup, but never got to play another (I suppose many from the above category will also fall under this one); eg Neil Johnson, Vasbert Drakes, Andy Bichel etc
• Players from other sports who had occasional run-ins with cricket; eg Phil & Gary Neville, Harry Wright etc
• Cricketing pioneers, i.e players who were among the first from a particular country to sparkle on the world stage; eg WG Grace, Fred Spofforth, Learie Constantine etc
• Players who were seriously talented, but perhaps played in an era when their skills were deemed surplus to their nation's requirements; eg Sylvester Clarke, Brad Hodge etc
• Players who died too young to fully realise their potential; eg Phillip Hughes, Archie Jackson etc

I will be more than glad to help if you need any assistance with the player lists. I've done my fair bit of research on such things in the past and still have a few of those old lists lying around somewhere.

I was stuck home with the flu for the past few days. Had to do something to pass the time, so I did up 18-strong player lists for every category I suggested earlier.

Well that's good. You and Baahubali are now the managers of Sri Lanka.

After being an active member for nearly 4 years in this section, I reckon it is almost time for me to move on from cricket leagues. Not immediately, as I still have some matches to post in the PCPL and also plan to see through ELA VI. But that's pretty much it. I am far too busy these days and haven't the same level of interest in managing leagues as I once did.

Thanks to all those who've participated in my leagues over the years and kept me going for so long.

End of an era. Good luck. :

I want to remove myself from all the leagues i am taking part right now. Really frustrated with the way peoples are targeting me with the name of Gautam Gambhir. And staffs are silent too.
So I don't want to continue with this kind of respect in Planet cricket. I enjoyed my 1 year in this forum. But things are going in a wrong way now.

Good Bye...

@Saroj padhy don't take people seriously! Some people get a kick out of getting under others skin. Don't allow them to push you out of something you love doing. Perhaps if you change your Profile Picture to who knows maybe Virat Kholi, perhaps they'll call you Virat Kholi. Jokes aside, if you honestly just want to leave because of that, please don't. Show these guys that you can't be pushed around!Chin up man, kick some a#*!

if you quitting just for that reason, than they successfully achieved there goal... they made you mad and frustrated... if any one bullying you than, you can notify that post or person by clicking report... staff members will take care of that... if you need time off, than take your time off and try to come back here... you must know that, there are members who also like you...

The intention of the Anti-Saroj Crusade was not to make you quit, but rather to show you the error in your ways, there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to see your favorite player play for your country or not wanting to see your most hated player play for your country, but it's how you chose to shove that down everyone's throat that ticked us off, we'll leave you alone if you act in a civil manner going forward. Also saw you were in a minor car accident reading through your profile and sometimes the internet is our escape vehicle, so sorry if I or anyone else caused you any further grievances on here. Get well soon.
