I'm in a fix at the moment with my old computer's hard disk gone for good. I'll have to manually calculate all the stats from here on just like my OD leagues and compiling them for the first 4 rounds of this league will take a few days. Hope you all can bear with me.

Thanks for your generous offer but when it comes to stats, I prefer working alone.

Well, the attempted season V turned out to be a failure thanks to my old computer crashing. At the time, I still depended on the simulator for stats so that pretty much screwed me over. I was too lazy to do 'em from scratch all over again. But since this league has always been dear to me being my first and all, I'd like to make amends and re-do Season V a little differently.

I had originally planned a 20-team ODI event featuring legendary sides of the past, but I seriously ain't got the energy to run another 20-team league just after the CWG. So I'm more set on a Test/FC competition featuring just around 6-8 legendary Test sides from timelines past or present. It'll be nice to finally simulate some Test cricket after an overdosage of limited overs cricket.

The teams playing will obviously be the mighty West Indians from the 70s-80s, Bradman's Invincibles, Steve Waugh's mighty Australian outfit, the 60s & 70s South Africans who had their career's cut short due to apartheid and any one strong side from England, Pakistan, New Zealand/the post-apartheid South Africa. And maybe one ROTW side featuring Sri Lankans, 19th century Americans and other strong associates, or we could simply go with the 2000s Indian side. Gimme a day or two or more to do up the player lists.

So, who's with me?

 

[Sulaiman7]

I feel so great having seeing this reviving again. This was the first league I joined and this is the most cherished league to me.

 

[Aislabie]

I'll be with you! I reckon that a Pakistan side featuring Miandad, Zaheer and Imran could be a pretty tasty proposition too.

Or, you know, the legendary Bermudian ODI side towards the end of the last decade::

Daniel Morgan
Oliver Pitcher
Kwame Tucker
Oronde Bascombe
James Celestine
Azeem Pitcher
Josclyn Pitcher
Ryan Steede
Jacobi Robinson
Chris Lonsdale
McLaren Smith
( Dwight Basden - 12th man)
They never all played together for some reason...

I could bring 'em in for the warm-ups but definitely not for the main draw though.

Okay, these teams are in, regardless of anyone's opinion. There's still space for three more teams which are most likely to be from New Zealand (1985-1992), Pakistan (1986-1992) and India (2002-2010).
