Squads for first Series'

Schedule

Teams - check your 30-man squad for selections

Check the schedule and do as follows:

* Touring teams name a squad of 15 from the provisional 30 to go on tour. Choose wisely. You may post your teams here or email them to me.

* Touring teams may then name their first Test XI, opening bowlers and batting order.

* Home teams name their XI for the first Test, with batting order.

* Home teams must name the pitch conditions for the 1st Test. They will be as follows...

Pace (1-10; 10 is excellent for pace, 1 is poor)
Spin (1-10; 10 is excellent for spin....)
Medium (1-10; as above)

Bounce (1-5; 1 is bounciest)
Wear at start of Test (1-5; 5 is very worn and 1 is perfect)

--------
NB-
1/Pitch conditions must be named ONE day in advance so that touring teams may name their XI's based on the expected conditions.

2/The touring 15 must be submitted by Wednesday, when teams leave to go on tour.


In general, team XI's will be accepted up until midnight UK time (10 am? Aussie time) on the day before the scheduled Test.

Games will be simmed every 3 days, so managers must stay sharp to the schedule and post their touring squads etc. within the 2 days between a series completion and a new series.

Pace: 1 :: Spin: 10 :: Medium: 1 :: Bounce: 4 :: Wear: 5

Sorry Liam but it seems the most obvious move :)


Sri Lankan Team

  1. Sanath Jayasuriya (Captain)
  2. Marvan Atapattu
  3. Mahela Jayawardene
  4. Thilan Samaraweera
  5. Kumar Sangakarra (Wicket-Keeper)
  6. Hashan Tillakaratne
  7. A De Silva

  9. Rumesh J Ratnayake (Right Arm Fast Medium - Please)
  10. Muttiah Muralitharan
  11. Khahakachchi P J Warnaweera (Off Spin - Please)[/list=1]

    It is probley the most current squad out of all of the teams but when only 96 players have represented your country of which only about 40 have played the 10+ game rule, it's was always going to be right :)

    Opening Bowlers

    - Chaminda W P U J Vaas
    - Rumesh J Ratnayake

im banking on the fact that because Dempster averages 65, If I play quite a few all-rounders i'll be able to score some more runs.

The bowlers I have picked in this team don't have bad bowling averages either, although not as great as some of the other teams.

hey mate can i list the 6 stadiums i want aus to play at? well here they are:

1) Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG)
2) Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG)
3) The "GABBA" - Brisbane
4) Adelaide Oval
5) The "WACA" - Perth
6) Bellrieve Oval - Hobart

also i think the best thing about this league is you can do ANYTHING. for instance we could host a test world cup at some stage, maybe play a knockout tournament or make a divisional league. the options are endless and it's really going to be alot of fun :D

Australian Touring Squad coming in a couple of minutes and the team for the first test will be announced once England have decided their pitch conditions.

ok before i name my team i need a few questions answered:

1. Can i put Darren Lehmann to bowl more? because for some reason you haven't put him down as an all-rounder

2. Are injuries possible?? and how long are they out for etc.?

3. Will you be simming the matches(e.g choosing when some1 bowls and stuff)? Or will you be letting the computer do it?

i might also think of some more. my team won't be posted until it's all cleared up. mainly just the case on Darren Lehmann

1/ Lehmann doesn't have 50 odd wickets yet. However, any player can bowl, but Lehmann will be considered a batsman who bowls... a faux allrounder.
2/ The first injury sim will be done after the 1st Test. A player may be out for 1 game to any number I expect, but most injuries are between 1-4 games.
3/ I will be allowing the computer to sim games.
