    Agreed, we seem pretty terrible. I can't imagine Zimbabwe are any good.

    I mean, if you've played ICC you know that the team generally gets stronger so long as you don't mistreat them. Quite funny how bad we are now though.

    I think Cribb said that only admins can ping other people with tags atm, similar boat to the editing posts thing.

    The Lions squad announcement usually gets its own live text commentary. I don't see why this should be any different.

    It’s all typed out on my laptop at home... which isn’t where I am right now.

    Cracked a tooth, so emergency dental appointment followed by having to help a mate move a fridge. This DoC lark is glamorous stuff but somebody has gotta do it.

    CricSim Announce Champions Trophy Squad

    The news (that almost nobody was waiting for) regarding the squad (who nobody gives a chance) for a competition (that almost nobody cares about) is finally here!

    After their recent ascent to Full Membership status of the ICC; CricSim hurried to organise a bi-triangular, or perhaps a tri-biangular series - depending on your orientation, against Zimbabwe. Performances in these games, by those that make up the rather limited player pool, have weighed heavily in the minds of the selector. Both in terms of their importance but in their cause for concern due to the rather lacklustre nature of most of them.

    Numbers were so thin on the ground that they were literally forced into picking Some Guy off the street. Rumours are the Isle of CricSim Board are now looking into fast-tracking Some Guy's citizenship to ensure his availability for selection for future series.

    As it stands the squad is made up of a ragtag bunch of misfits and takes on a shape far from a 'traditional' International cricket squad - though that is in part due to the rather unathletic nature of most of the playing squad.

    The squad, in full, is as follows:

    Langdon Alger, Jono Chewie, Tom Delonge, Supple Skin Double Dong, Chad Dyer, Bobby Hawke, Andrew James, Matt James, Chris Lewis, Mahmathlai, Devon Mace, S Morgan, Alex O'Driscoll, Squeak Scolari, Oscar Wood

    Chairman of Selectors Marquis Deen will be available for comment shortly.
    More news and reactions soon.
