Welcome SJS :)
Thanks Clapo. What all goes on here? Can someone tell me. I haven't a clue.

You guys just come here and chat and wait for the computers to give the match results and then discuss some more or is there any active role actually played by the team members, captains etc?

Sorry, just deleted my post (Welcome again :p). I'll put a forum names section into the squad list Liam posted in the other thread to make it easier for the new people to figure out who's who :)

Yeah, that's basically it. The captains, advised by a group of senior team members, select the elevens, and can also give some special tactics to the person simulating the game.

In whatever cricket has been played so far, how has the Reds Team fared and who are our superstars ?

CW Red is a middle of the road team. Occasional success, but unlikely to mount a serious challenge.

Håkon Mørk and Rob Dauth have played a significant amount of cricket for CW XI and have outstanding records to show for it. David Kennett and Dave Watt (presently inactive) have played a lot of internationals too, but neither are first choice anymore. Kennett is still one of the most celebrated international bowlers we've produced though. David Kearsley played for the international team a few times too. He has a couple of outstanding innings to his name at that level, but ultimately faded into mediocrity.

Those are the obvious names.

What is the significance of that value in front of each name and how is it calculated ?

The contract column: how many years the player has left on his contract - during which time the player can not leave without mutual agreement

The value column: the "price" of the contract - higher costs more to the team - calculated through a formula depending on international and domestic games played during the last season.

The value is essentially the cost of a player contract per year. It's calculated relative to the average number of matches played per season. Some of the players were adjusted upward or downward depending on their situation.

EDIT: Explained by M03rk and marginally better too.
