International Cricket Premiership Sign Up Thread

The International Cricket Premiership



Hey guys, thanks for taking a look at this thread. Cricket is far and away my favourite sport. Since I was a little kid I've played and watched cricket for hours on end, pouring over the intricate statistics pages during rainy days, dreaming of getting out and playing cricket, something which I've gotten rather good at, as last week I made it into the county squad. Now, this shameless self promotion isn't for nothing, I promise you. I've decided to take my love for cricket and bring it the SimSports website, as I did with my 2nd favourite sport, Rugby. To sim the results I'm using Syedur Rahman's Cricket simulator, which gives you very intricate stats. Unfortunately this means an intricate sign up (sorry). More on that later however. The season will run all through the summer, starting on Saturday the 24th and finishing, well at the end of Summer Each team will play every other team in their group home and away, while they'll only play teams from the other group once. Every win is awarded 2 points, a draw 1 and a loss 0. At the end of the season the top two teams in each group will play each other in a 5 game series. The 2 winners of these series will then play each other in a 7 game series, to decide the champion of the ICP. The games will be 30 overs long (to those not initiated into cricket I suggest you read the wikipedia article, located here [Linkie]. There is also a wiki devoted entirely to the ICP, which lists detailed statistics and ball by ball commentaries of all the games. This can be found Here [Linkie]

If you want to sign up, here's the info I'll need:

City
Team Nickname
Three Letter Code
Logo
Stadium Name Pic if possible but I know cricket BATs (no pun intended) are hard to find.

Helmet Colour
Jersey Main Colour
Jersey Sleeves Colour
Pants/Trousers Colour

Now the complicated bit:

18 Player Names For each player you need to tell me whether there left or right handed and how they bowl, from the following options

Fast Medium: The standard bowler, you'll need a few of these
Fast: A quick bowler, only 3 or 4 are recommended
Leg Break: A complicated, spinning, bowl, only 2 or 3 are recommended (Only Right handed)
Off Spin: A complicated, spinning, bowl, only 2 or 3 are recommended
Keeper: Stands behind the wicket, you must have one and no more

Well thanks for reading that, I know it was a bit heavy, and I know it'll take a while to sign up but I urge you to do it.
Thanks for reading, Alex
