Story The DBC 2017 Fantasy League

[Langeveldt]

I'll take Aus.

It's taken mate, only Bangladesh left I think, and maybe Afghanistan if anyone has made a decent team in the academy. I'm tempted to close new team additions soon. Think how long all this is going to take to sim!

Anybody got the Paddys?

 

[Langeveldt]

Anybody got the Paddys?

Yes. Should I be open to collaboration between people here? Like a board of selectors?

I want some feedback here if I am doing anything that isn't conducive to the league. It's a democracy, but I get the final say

 

[Markkkkk]

Okay I'll take Bangladesh or Netherlands if possible...

 

[Langeveldt]

Okay apparently I'll be getting the game today. I've got Twitch set up. I'm waiting for England and New Zealand team sheets so I can set up the first test.

I am going to be closing applications for teams. If I cant get teamsheets for a certain team within say 48 hours I will open them up to someone else.

What shall I do if I get one teamsheet for a fixture but not the other? Make up my own team? Play a different fixture?

I will upload the Zimbabwe Team tomorrow with the players, kits and Stadium (I will let you know the username and ID then)

Do we get to choose our home ground & conditions etc. If so here are my conditions for the team I have selected above.

Stadium: Queens Sports Club: Bulawayo, Zimbabwe (doesn't look to be in the academy, I will create it tomorrow).

Pitch Conditions: Green Top

All other conditions can be set random or of your choosing or if Markkkkk wants to he can be home team I don't mind.

 

[Langeveldt]

Hi there

Thanks for the teams. It would be great if you could send them on the academy. I will check and do some tweaking if there is stuff I dont think is correct, but I dont think I will be doing this a lot.

You can select your home ground but not your conditions (yet). I may consider changing this though. Would people think this was a good idea? I'm a bit tired of all the home dominance in real cricket and wish they did something about it. I am not sure how much of an effect conditions has yet in DBC 17.

Waiting on @Dutch @wealey88 to give me teams for the first clash. As I will have a basic copy of the game with nothing added, you can always point me towards good user teams on the academy. I know someone made a cracking NZ team. I think there is also a good Lord's.

 

[kushari]

@kushari can have india, i really just said it for the wind up

Thanks mate, but if you really want you can go ahead & play. I actually missed the post where India was selected. You can carry on if you want, if not I will be glad to participate.

No honestly it was just so I could mention Navjot Sidhu, Indias greatest ever batsman.

It's my pleasure to hand it over to you mate.

@Langeveldt I'm not sure if you want to wait that long but eventually we'll have all the teams with real kits and players and if you check the thread I made it'll have all the best versions of each teams.
