Great idea,Biggs.
Very good start.
I'll be following this for sure.
And,we just can't stay out of story forum,can we?
Now let's see who drives us to the other forum.
Good Luck!

 

[Ollie_H]

I don't like Durham! But for the purpose of England! Come on Duzza!

 

[Prithvi]

I was in a plan to start IPL in test format but this story diverts the readers from the one I was going to start.
Good luck mate, Hope Mumbai wins it

 

[surendar]

Now let's see who drives us to the other forum.

I did not. It was both of yours' personal decision in not continuing as story lines

Oh yes, good luck to this story

 

[MuchMore]

Well, as the story has just started.. may I suggest a re-shuffling of groups...

India - Pak - Aussies - English teams should stay in one
WI - SA - NZ - SL in other

No point in keeping Indo-Pak teams in seperate leagues when you can have them in one.. same goes for Indo-Oz and Oz-English.

Think about it.

MuchMore added 2 Minutes and 4 Seconds later...

Btw, on what game are you going to play this on?

 

[Aditya]

Really nice start Biggy. Test cricket world championship is would be surely interesting hope the best team wins but as far as i am concern i would surely go with Mumbai.

 

[CG123]

Looking forward to this, come on the Auckland Aces!!!

 

[drainpipe32]

Carn the Vics!!!

 

[Harishan]

Looking forward to this one Biggy, It's a good idea as well.

 

[hedger_14]

Draws in the knock out stage are decided by runs per wicket average

You got that rule off me didn't you. I like that rule. Found that was a good way to get a result in the pre-season cup in my Test Championship. Would have hoped that NSW would play instead of VIC but oh well. I guess I'll follow Victoria in this.

Good luck with the story.

 

[OffCutters]

The boys`ll wear the big V proud and win the comp!

 

[iridescentt]

Where's New South Wales!

Jokes. Keep it up Biggy.

 

[Aoun13]

I'll follow this story,really want Sialkot side to be number one.
I am always a big fan of sialkot stallions.

 

[bladescape]

Vic's'll knock em over fer sure!
I'll be following this one!
