Due to covid-19, we’ve seen a halt in international cricket tournaments and some domestic tournaments. The Trans-Tasman series had to be cancelled, while other games are being postponed, and the IPL is set to be cut in half.
So with no International cricket on the horizon, what better way to fill the gap with of international cricket with CricSim. This concept would see all international ICC fixtures on the FTP simmed through text based sims for Test, ODI, and T20 games.
As part of the fun, I’d need help with team selection and a maybe one one to co-sim the games with me. So please post below, if you wish to manage one of the national teams (it can be done individually, pairs, or in small groups). The national sides needed are Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies, and Zimbabwe as they all feature on the FTP.
I would work through each series one-by-one, as they come up in the fixture, selection committees will need to come up with squads, and then pick their XI for that the matches concerned.
I will post a fixture as we go, but will start with completing the Australia v New Zealand series , before moving to other to tours and looking towards the future. I’d also be looking at doing the Asia XI v World XI series and the T20WC. Depending on the interest, I might consider the Australian domestic tournaments when they come around.
I will also get to posting primilary national squads, using information from Wikipedia and cricinfo regarding player averages, as a guide for team managers. Player averages will also be considered.
So, let’s have at it.
Afghanistan - big_e
Australia - Torz
Bangladesh - corbies
England - Chipmunk
India - james brayshaw
Ireland - SarahSmiles
Netherlands - The Speaker
New Zealand - eth-dog
Pakistan - JewzalenkoUBeeutee
South Africa - iluvparis
Sri Lanka - samFFC
win West Indies - Dinsdale
Zimbabwe - JackBero
How this will work:
As the series or tournament comes up, team managers will be requested to pick their squad of up to 18 players (sim restrictions). They can only use these players from the entirety of series. If Wikipedia or cricinfo already show a squad for that series, that squad must be used (eg, Aus v NZ or AXI v WXI).
If you are looking for a player that is not listed, or that is not listed in required format, please let me know and I can add them to the list.
Prior to the commencement of the game, team mangers must pick their XI for each game. It must include at least two bowlers, and a Keeper must be nominated (multiple keepers can be named, only one must be nominated as keeper for the game). Please number your XI (this makes it that little bit easier for me to edit Thor list on the sim) And the home team in the game must pick the pitch type (the options are different in the T20 sim to the Test/ODI sim)
I will only be posting the scorecard from each, as the commentary is very long and will clog up the thread.
Statistics will be collected and posted at the end of each series.
And any game that features in the World Test Championship or the World Cup Super League will be be added their respective ladders
Test and ODI Pitch Types: Batting Normal Bowling Randon
T20 Pitch Types: Hard Uneven Sticky Flat Slow Dusty Green
