Bigfooty Bombers.

[boncer34]

As Im sure a few of you are aware Bigfooty has its own fantasy cricket competition. As of next season a 14th team will join the comp and I've decided to see how much interest I can muster in forming an Essendon based side.

Atm Im just trying to see how many people are actually interested, I have pm'd a few of you already and will probably pm a few more later on but do not feel because you didnt get a pm I dont want you on the side. I will take anyone who barracks for our beloved bombers atm and if need be we may even need to look at other clubs supporters to top up our numbers. But I do hope it doesnt come to that and we can form our own.


Team List
Boncer34- Pure Pace Bowler
McPhee_is_a_gun- Pure Batsman
DaSawx- Pure Batsman
Danz22- Pure All-Rounder
jules101
Philzsay
Merkystar
godons81
footy_paul
go_the_bombers
mbuck- Pure Batsman

Eventually we will look at assigning types of players etc etc. But at the moment Im only interested in seeing if we have any takers. So anyone?

The game is a simulator game. Basically you choose what type of player you want to be for a season. Such as Pure Bowler, Pure Batter, Keeper, Pure All-rounder, Bowling All-Rounder and Battin All-Rounder. You also get to pick which hand you bat with, which hand you bowl with and what type of bowler you are. eg.
Boncer34
Pure Bowler
Left Arm Fast
Right Hand bat
Your then hopefully selected in the side and the 11 players from your team are put up against the 11 players from another team. The match is simulated and if you win its glory glory glory and if you lose then its time to make excuses lol.
My idea is to form a squad of Bombers posters and for a side called the Bigfooty Bombers or something similar for the next season. As I said in my opening post we will look at player types if we get a full squad which is 18 players. So far we have 5.

[boncer34]

Gotta tell you the response to the side has caught me by suprise. We now only have 6 spots left although a couple have indicated they would be willing to give their spot up should others want to play. So now we need to find out what type of cricketer each player wants to be. Since there is 18 spots in the squad I figured we'd have a breakdown of something like:
1 Keeper
3 All-Rounders
6 Bowlers (4 pace, 2 spin)
8 Batsman

We currently have left 1 Spinner, 1 Fast Bowler, 4 Batsman

You have to pick left or right handed bat and you still need to nominate what type of bowler you are. Because occasionally the sim gives pure batsman the ball (Normally at the worst time)

 

[mcphee_is_a_gun]
