^ Listen up man , some are already in countless number of leagues (like me) , others do not have the general knowledge of pakistani cricket , no offence meant . And also you are new to the leagues section , so you first have to gain some sorta reputation in order to win the confidence of managers .

I was lying in bed about a month ago, and the idea of "Cricket Risk" came to me.
For those of you who don't know "Risk" is a strategic board game, based around global domination. Pretty much it's a turn based game, in which you deploy armies, and fight battles using dice to determine the outcomes. Personally it's one of my favourite games, but because of the long nature of it I don't often get to play it.
If you're still reading by know, you're probably thinking what does this have to do with cricket?
Pretty much I'll be looking to replace the armies with cricket players, and instead of the battles being decided with dice they'll be decided with a cricket match.
How do we run this on a forum?
Pretty much instead of being turned based, you're all have your turn at the same time by PMing me what you want to do, then I'll sim all the battles in cricsim, and post the results in the thread. And this will carry on until we have a winner.
I'd probably be looking to have a very basic game to start off with, but because of how it works there are a lot of more complicated rules which can be added in if the first game's a success.
I'm still working through the complications of the game, so ATM I'm just wondering if anyone is interested, and if it's worth me continuing to work through the complications?
(BTW incase you're a little confused, everything would be run here on the forum)

You would have to simplify it quite a bit to make it work. Like in Risk you can only attack adjacent territories and ones connect by sea lanes. So would there be no map so to speak meaning we could attack anyone?
There would still be a map, I'd have a picture of it, then below list who controls what territories.
I found this, which shows you all the adjacent territories etc.
In terms of the list just this:
Code:
North America
1. Alaska
2. Alberta
3. Central America
4. Eastern United States
5. Greenland
6. Northwest Territory
7. Ontario
8. Quebec
9. Western United States
South America
1. Argentina
2. Brazil
3. Peru
4. Venezuela
Europe
1. Great Britain
2. Iceland
3. Northern Europe
4. Scandinavia
5. Southern Europe
6. Ukraine
7. Western Europe
Africa
1. Congo
2. East Africa
3. Egypt
4. Madagascar
5. North Africa
6. South Africa
Asia
1. Afghanistan
2. China
3. India
4. Irkutsk
5. Japan
6. Kamchatka
7. Middle East
8. Mongolia
9. Siam
10. Siberia
11. Ural
12. Yakutsk
Oceania
1. Eastern Australia
2. Indonesia
3. New Guinea
4. Western AustraliaIt depends on the interest levels.
When/if I open up a thread, I'll ask for people to stick their names down, and also get them to stick down their experience with the game.
It would help if you've previously played the game, but that's by no means what I'll be purely giving the teams out on.

Mate Pakistan Should Be In The Asian Country List 
Mate Pakistan Should Be In The Asian Country List
It's based on a historic board game, it's not based on cricket nations.
New Zealand aren't even on the map...
When the game was invented Pakistan may have still been part of India, I'm not sure on that though.
If the first game's a success, I may be tempted to create a cricket nation based map.
