    ICC Sim League XI

    1995 World Test Championship Backdrop The year is 1995. The International Cricket Council, having established its very own limited-overs World Cup only twenty years earlier, had since been seeking the means to finally provide a premier trophy for the sport's premier format. In response to an...

    Mahmudullah Riyad vs Sean Williams

    vs Similar types of players who fulfill similar roles in their respective teams. Both players burst on to the international scene at a young age as genuine all-rounders, but are now viewed more so as batsmen who bowl a little bit of part-time spin. Who would you prefer?

    "Guys" draft

    Commissioned in reverence to the amazing thread started by @Shady Slim. "Guys" only. What is a guy I hear you ask? Slim was kind enough to provide an excellent explanation... I'm gonna add the caveat that eligible players must have played international cricket from the 80's onwards. Anyone...

    The future of ICC sim league

    As most of y'all know I'm a bit of a diehard for simming. Recently I cleaned up my computer and ended up somehow corrupting my ICC '13 editor program (Que Sera). So I was thinking in the event of a sim league revival I might shell out the 14GBP for CC '20 to start a new version of the sim...

    ICC Emerging Nations Trophy (Sim League X)

    Continuing on from the most recent version of the Sim League I am back with the ultimate battle of the proverbial minnows. For the most part I have been simming LOIs lately, this tournament will mark a return to red ball cricket. To get things rolling here I am hoping to get somewhere in the...

    ICC Sim League IX

    Had fun running the last version of the Sim League, so I'm back again to kick off another new tournament with a fresh new idea. This time the concept revolves around World Series Cricket from the late 70's. Instead of a nation v nation tournament, this one will be similar to the modern-day IPL...

    Grand Slam Draft Tournament

    Ok, so hear me out. This one's a bit of a hair-brained scheme, but it could potentially be a fun draft-style "tournament" which operates in a unique way. Essentially the premise of the draft is to resemble a real-life knockout tournament. Where 8, or even 16, drafters compete against one another...

    ICC Sim League VIII

    ICC Sim League VIII I've had a few ninjas over the past couple of months voice their desire to see another edition of the Sim League so I'd dust off the old bird & run another edition with an idea that that is floating around in my head. This time I'll be doing something new & running a T20...

    Amol Muzumdar vs Jamie Siddons

    Bit of a nonsense thread here. Was wondering how people see these two stacking up against one another considering they were arguably the best two batsmen of their generation to never play in a Test match for their respective country. vs
