International Cricket Captain: Cricsim vs the World

Discussion in 'Forum Games and Activities' started by Howe, Jan 22, 2020.

  1. Howe JHF Howe

    Let's take a team through ICC 2017. You sign up, I rewrite a real player to have your name, we play some matches, Cricsim try to win the world cup.

    It's a similar format to the one I ran on CW here if you want to get the gist of it. It'll hopefully be a smidge more sophisticated than that.

    The big difference being that I won't be selecting or playing the game by myself, we are going to have a Head Selectors and a Director of Cricket. The Head Selector posts lineups for upcoming matches, and the DoC can post specific tactics and training regimens to use over several matches. These roles can be voted on, if we need it.

    I also want us to vote on which team we write over and take the place of, the main result of this being that we won't ever be able to play against that team.

    To sign up please complete:

    Player name: (e.g. Jake Howe)
    Scorecard name: (e.g. JHF Howe)
    Player Role (Batsman/Wicketkeeper/Allrounder/Bowler)
    Batting handedness: (Right/Left)
    Bowling handedness: (Right/Left)
    Bowling Style: (Fast / Fast-Medium / Medium / Finger spin / Wrist Spin)
    Also interested in: (Head Selector / Director of Cricket / Neither)
    Team we Assimilate: (Australia/Bangladesh/England/India/New Zealand/Pakistan/Sri Lanka/South Africa/West Indies)

    Hoping for a squad of 16-18. Let's take on the world :band:

    Do you have an editor or how are you going to edit bowling styles/batting handedness etc?

    I'm not using the editor. Just getting players with the right stats and renaming them.

    Lets hope you don't get a bunch of people signing up as specialist opening batsmen but who bowl part-time left arm express and want to assimilate Bangladesh.
