I have had this game for long but I have hardly played few games in full or any series in full. This time around I have decided I will give it my best shot and try to play non stop for few months whenever I get good enough time. I am planning to play a World Series that will involve two pool system with 7 teams in each pool. Every team in each of the pool will play a 3 match ODI series against each other once at home, once away and once at a neutral venue. Netherlands, Canada and Namibia will sign up just retired players who can still contribute. The players include just retired stars like S.Waugh, W.Akram, W.Yunus, M.Waugh, Srinath, Slater etc. There will be variable weather and pitch during the series thanks to Shailesh?s game tweak. I am going to play as one team in every series that will take place.
The two pools are as follows:
Pool 1 : Australia, Canada, India, Kenya, New Zealand, Pakistan and Zimbabwe
Pool 2 : Bangladesh, England, Holland, Namibia, South Africa, Sri lanka and West Indies.
2 teams from Pool 1 and 2 teams from Pool 2 will qualify to play the semifinals. The semifinals will also be a 3 match affair and the finals will be between the winners of the semi finals.
The statistics of every game as well as individual players will be kept (using stats software).A competition points table for both the teams and the players will be kept too. There will be audio and video highlights along with match reports (not as good as the ones m_vaughan produces).
The following is the points system for individual players:
Run 1 point
Solo wicket 20 points
Catch 5 points
Stumping 10 points
Man of the match 50 points
Cumulative bonus innings batting points:
Batting:
5 points for reaching 20 runs
10 points for reaching 50 runs
20 points for reaching 75 runs
50 points for reaching 100 runs
Bowling:
5 points for reaching 2 wickets
10 points for reaching 3 wickets
20 points for reaching 4 wickets
50 points for reaching 5 wickets
Tools and patches used:
1. Shailesh?s save game tweak.
2. Prakash?s lineup editor, player editor and configs editor (pretty much anything he comes up with really)
3. My very own V 11 AI patch (with fixes as suggested by Mike).
4. Sam?s no cursor exe for batting.
5. Sam?s no run out exe for bowling.
6. !xspeed set at +1.61(no kidding, this makes the game very fast and will only take less than an hour to finish any game if I play non stop) for both batting and bowling.
7. Cricket statistics software to keep track of scores.
Wish your favorite teams luck guys, I may not do enough justice to them all.

, a patient un symonds like inning from A.Symonds 36(61 Balls, 4 fours) and a good late inning cameo from M.Clarke 30*(22 balls, 3 fours, 1 six) saw Australia recover from being 95/4 after 22 overs or something to 300 off 50 overs. I have not seen another inning like Ponting's in C2K4 and it isn't an exaggeration. The placement of shots were superb and the way the inning was pace was really cool. There were many memorable shots a pull shot, hook shot, glance through to fine leg from around off stump, the straight drives, on drive and a big slog sweep for six off Vettori. The best shot of the inning although belongs to M.Clarke who ran down the wicket and hoisted Vettori over long on literally out of the ground for a huge six of the first ball he faced.
