Coming soon...
 
can we start posting lineups?

I'll open up a SG thread in the next few minutes. ;)

CG123 added 7 Minutes and 32 Seconds later...

You can now post your line-up for your 1st practice match, in the social group.
Practice matches will be posted pretty much as soon as I get both line-ups, and the limit on each practice match round will be 24 hours.

Also please bare with me through the practice matches, as the ratings are not yet perfect, so you may see some slightly unrealistic scores. I'm using the practice matches to test out my ratings, just like you are with your players.

CANTERBURY CANNONS   222/3     41.4 overs
   
Canterbury Cannons won by 7 wickets
  
Man of the match: Jerome Taylor
 
Oh yeah, we're back. I'm pumped for this season!
Good thing we retained Dhoni, Gayle and Taylor.
 
Good to see this season starting
 
Disappointed I can't sim any more matches tonight, as I'm still waiting on bcvstheworld's, BKB1991's and rahulkhush's line-ups, please make sure they're in before I get home from school tomorrow.
 
Sorry, I just woke up okay.

Also regarding the awards, I reckon there should be one NZ player of the Year (capped) along with the another NZ player of the year (fringe OR uncapped). There could also be an International player of the year or a MVP.
