The Forumer's Ashes

Howe_zat

Step up and compete. This is the thread where I sim a series of matches between a team of English CWers against a team of Aussie CWers, in real time, with each match of the actual Ashes. Each match will get day-by-day reports in the style of my reasonably well-recieved ICC thread.

To sign up your player you need to make a post in here with:

Player Name:
Player Role: (Batsman / Wicket Keeper / Batting Allrounder / Allrounder / Bowling Allrounder / Bowler)
Batting position:
Bowling Style: (Fast / Fast-Medium / Medium-Fast / Medium / Off Spin / Leg Spin)
Batting aggression: (Aggressive / Moderate / Defensive)

For example

Player Name: JHF Howe
Player Role: Batting Allrounder
Batting position: Opener
Bowling Style: Medium
Batting aggression: Moderate

You'll also need to tell me whether you're an England or Australia supporter if I don't already know. If you notice that your side needs a particular sort of player more than others, it'll obviously work in your favour to sign up as that player.

If you happen to support a team that doesn't compete in the Ashes (you poor bastards), you should go ahead and sign up anyway. I'll want your player for warm-up games for this summer, and if this works, it could well become an ongoing competition following any real series between sides with enough forumers, such as NZ v India next year.

Feel free to ask questions on how it works.

Off you go.

Will there be any method to calculate player ability, or will it be random?
Not sure yet. There definitely won't be anything related to post counts. I do want to reward people who're taking an interest but if we've got enough players that might just come down to selection.
