PlanetCricket from WCL 4 - WC 6th Match

[hedger_14]

Someone did that over in the story forums a while ago. Everyone seems to be doing these sort of things now. bcvs, Mark, Bounce and now me.

I did one with ICC a while ago, similar to what they're all doing.
I got a team five years in, just put up every player as a number to people to sign up as, every chooses a player they like from looking at their preferences etc, and just play PlanetCricket as a county.
You can probably search for it if you want, it was called PlanetCricket county.

 

[hedger_14]

yeah. I thought it was you or blake that did that. I didn't bother mentioning the number process. I remember you trying to keep the team a secret so we didn't know some of the players we were picking but as soon as you put up the CT groups, it was obvious.

 

[CG123]

Yeah, I actually enjoyed doing it.
It was just too time consuming as I done it as a story.
It would probably work good as a league though.

 

[hedger_14]

That's why I'm doing this as a league. I don't have much time for write ups so it will mostly be like bcvs' WWIII but with only the 1 team and their captain choosing who to bowl.

 

[hedger_14]

hmmm. I'm currently doing a save with Ireland and am looking at Bahrain's results. Here they are at the moment.


Bahrain 240/3 (45 over's) Sheoran 114, Mushtaq 58* def. Suriname 96 a.o. Kumar 4/30, Choie 3/7, Raje 2/34 by 149 runs (DL method)

Bahrain 340/1, Sheoran 193*, Sharma 99 def. Nigeria 194 a.o. Raje 3/40, Kumar 3/43, Shah 3/50 by 146 runs

Bahrain 177/3 (39 overs) Shah 55*, Sheoran 43 def. Guernsey 176 a.o. Raje 5/36, Choie 2/38, Kumar 2/40 by 7 wickets

Bahrain 303/2, Sharma 170, Shah 80* def. Gibraltar 108 a.o. Raje 6/46, Kumar 3/21, Shah 1/25 by 195 runs

Bahrain 103/0 (20.5 over's) Sharma 50*, Sheoran 49* def. Malaysia 124 a.o. Raje 5/47, Choie 2/19, Kumar 2/33 by 10 wickets (DL method) - Target revised to 103 from 40 over's after DL calculations.



So very dominant from us and the first 3/4 seasons will be much of the same (being 5 matches in a season (10 in a year). And you can tell I didn't put my stats up cause I'm not even in the playing XI for some reason. It will get harder once you get up to the top WCL division and when we reach test status (provided we do).

 

[Chewie]

hahaha rather funny you not being in the XI

 

[hedger_14]

what I don't like about CC is that the AI bats people pretty much in the position they want or they are not in the XI. I remember pressing auto select and my best batsman was down at #9 because that's what his batting position was. And that the keeper got priority of the opening position over me cause he was a keeper when he could have batted down the order like everyone else.


I think I'm going to allow the captain to change people's batting positions.

 

[hedger_14]

Come on people. Sign up. I'm bored and need something to do and creating players at least uses up some time.

:laugh Should add in some players based on your friends if you don't have enough

 

[hedger_14]

I was planning on just using a random name generator and getting names from there if I didn't have enough but I'll do that once I get as many signups as possible.

 

[CG123]

Looking at those scores we should hopefully be in for some big wins early on. :happy

 

[hedger_14]

yeah. first 20 odd games should be like that (5 a season for 4 or so seasons).

um. You put way too many points in bowling. You have put down 240 points while you can only put down 115.

hedger_14 added 4 Minutes and 24 Seconds later...

And you have assigned 20 too many points in batting as well.
