No,you represent your teams whoever they are.What we might do at the end of the tournament is add up the points for players with similar countries for a national table.But the main prize would be individual glory for a single person.

What the format (most likely) would be,splitting teams into groups of 4(with every group having a level 1,2,3 and 4 seed).Each group will have a moderator as well who basically just has a look on the game,points scored and whos not played close to deadline day for that round.(still not sure on what time limit will be for each round and how many rounds we will have).The top 2 teams from each league enter into a knockout stage with 2nd from a league playing 1st from a league in the next phase.From this stage onwards it'll be a straight knockout to the final.Im hoping to have 32 teams(atleast,48 or 64 would be great) for the initial group stage.

Sounds good, are people who are getting 300+ level 4 seeds?

Yes,under 200 would be Level 1,200-250 would be level 2,250-300 level 3 and 300+ as level 4.Incase there arent exact number of teams at the same level,then we would adjust it by shifting the nearest team or teams(in terms of score) to that level.

guys you best watch out I just creamed the Kiwis in the Semi's after a long time out of the game

and I just beat SA in the final by 10 wickets chasing 204. My projected total was 255 so what level is that 3???

Gilly made 114 off 26 balls at 438.5 with 10 sixes and 10 fours
Watson made 94 off 23 balls at 408.7 with 6 sixes and 8 fours

Can't wait to start

 

[sid_19840]

Still its close to 250 odd,so Im keeping you at Level 2 for now.As I said there might be last minute changes in the seeds.Nice clean score there.Good to see that you've not lost wickets either as they may well be playing a part in the league.

&Evertonfan-I never thought Id see someone from the UK going with an Aussie team.Shame on you.

 

[evertonfan]

You know what, your absolutley right Sid! Could I make a change so that i'm more patriotic then please? I don't want to be the convicts anymore.

 

[sid_19840]

Nah,its up to you.If youre really interested in a team change then let me know.

 

[evertonfan]

I am interested. I remembered that my high score was with England so i've suddenly had a change of heart. Besides, i've always supported the underdogs.

 

[sid_19840]

Updated you to England..Get Practising.

 

[surendar]

That stick cricket website shows the username & passwrd... do we have to register there or can play without registering?

 

[treva]

You have to register I think but Sid will clarify it

 

[surendar]

You have to register I think but Sid will clarify it

I tried registering with "suren" which was the name submitted in sign up thread... it says " already taken "!!!

So sid, shd i register with a different name in the website? becos teh scores cannot be stored till i register!!!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Go ahead. Doesn't really matter.

I've won all the matches in the tourny with atleast 2 overs to spare in each and every one. Got 4 centuries in a row with Viru, and 2 for Dhoni. They both got centuries in the final.

Here is a nice challenge:
What is the highest score you can get batting as Glenn Mcgrath?
Post a pic please, and good luck!
