    Are there even going to be Test matches this off-season?

    Doubtful. :p

    Entertained the idea of playing against PlanetCricket, but after looking at their First Class structure I realised it couldn't work.

    How are they set out / would they be in gerneral the same level as us anyway or worse?

    The main problem I had with them was that their First Class season was really short (like 5 games or something) which would create massive anomalies if I judged their ability on their performance. Their simming names are also just usernames, which looks stupid. :p

    Should have more regular Test series IMO. Have a home series and an away series each season or something.

    It's an honour to get selected and seems nice in theory, but no-one ever cares about the result at all, and I don't see that ever changing unless we start playing other forums instead of other Test teams.

    Why wouldn't people care about being selected for something so hard to get in? :confused:

    Yeah, fair enough tbh. It's pretty much novelty atm and it'd mean people would miss PC games or something which wouldn't be great.

    Its a faceless opponant

    Id much rather hit 100 against Cricsim NZ than real NZ and that isn't how it should be in terms of quality and stature of the games

    About the result, not the fact that they were selected.

  12. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah, as Mousey said, people care about being selected, but they don't care who wins the game. Only eleven people on the entire site would give a shit about the game, and they'd only care about their personal results in it.

    North/South is actually a bit like that at the moment, but I can see that changing, especially with it being adopted as the standard allstar rep game in every sim.

  13. Mousey AJ Son

    Yeah, I'd follow it, but I wouldn't care if we got smacked 3-0 or anything, and I'm sure many would be the same. Kind of makes the entire thing pointless.

    I think people generally aren't interested in Tests because the team is so goddamn inactive.

    That'd be different now though, I think. I know I'd certainly take more of an interest in it if people like Tart and Gaz were in for Bullpitt and Tyson.

    What's your reasoning here. We've both averaged ~40 in ALC this season and I've played 1 extra season.

    :laughing:

    I've got experience. 28 ALC games and that number will keep rising into next season.
