I'm in the middle of preparing a ruleset for a fantasy cricket Web site as a follow-on from FanFooty, called (unsurprisingly!) FanCricket. It would not be like the BFFC league, this would be using real cricket players like the AFL Dream Team. What I would like to hear from you lot is whether you have tried similar fantasy cricket games in the past, and what you would like to see in a new one?

There are a few rules set in stone for FanCricket:
- teams are to be of 11 players, with possibly a "bench" and probably a "supersub";
- scores have to be reflective of the scoring in cricket, i.e. runs and wickets, not just abstract points;
- although I would have liked to do a full league format where every team in a league is different, unfortunately with the small number of players on offer that is impossible, so it will have to be a "salary cap" comp like the Dream Team.

Apart from that, I'm open to suggestion. Fire away, please!

I was involved in one but got bored with it. It is much harder sometimes than dream team because teams play at different times and trying to pick which players will play for other sides is hard especially when you havent heard of half of them

Be easier if you just had mini-competitions whenever there was a test series or one-dayers and then tally everybodys score together at the end of the year.
