Thought about a new system of dealing with injuries

Injuries:
Players will be injured randomly. Although if you are more active the probability of your players getting injured is less as compared to one who isnt that active. Also some players who have had injury problems throughout their careers are more likely to get injured as compared to those who havent.

You're FIRED:
If you are not managing your team as well as your respective national boards would like and your performances arent upto mark then you may be fired. Eg, if Australia somehow find themselves in the bottom half of the tables expect the Australian coach to be fired.
Also if your activity is low and you arent posting your lineups on time, then you may get the boot. Dont worry I will give you a warning if you are in danger.

 

[BKB1991]

Have created discussions in the social group, post your lineups there and get this thing rolling!!

Man of the match: VVS Laxman

An exciting game. New Zealand had the game in their hands before they slipped in the 3rd innings. Impressive moves by blazerix. He dropped Yuvraj and bought in Pathan and Sharma and they both responded.
