As the points systems are now working and the game is especially good in longer formats, I have decided to restart my story based around a fictional four day international setup. I will be playing as The Netherlands and simulating the other leagues. I will simulate each round of games after I play my own game with The Netherlands. There will be round-ups and match reports, interviews, videos and dancing girls. I have no time frame of when to play each game but hope to have a full set of reports and interviews and articles once a week.....hope you enjoy it and stick around as things progress. The first thing up will be a preview of each league and the points system being introduced. Frist of all lets have a basic look at the teams involved:
*************************************************************************
The ICC announced a radical shake-up of the current international cricket competitions: since many countries are not able to host successful test series and the fact that many test matches are not going the full distance of five days, a new three tier four day league system has been divised both to enable much more competition and to enthuse more people to longer forms of the game.
There will be three leagues: the first divison will be the current test-playing nations, the second league the asscociate members and other teams and the third league will consist of lower tier teams.
Each league will run as a four-day league, enabling the top four finishers in each league to play final matches to determine the final league placings. Two teams will be relegated and promoted from each league.
The ICC hopes that this will offer an attractive alternative to short-ball cricket and bring cricket to a wider audience. Competition will enable lower ranked nations to develop cricket in their respective countries and benefit from the televison deals that have been made.
