Story One Day International Knockout Tournament [C2005]

[jmcdonald]

Today the ICC announced a new knockout tournament consisting of eight teams in two groups. Here is how the groups are made up:

Group A
- Pakistan
- India
- West Indies
- New Zealand

Group B
- Australia
- England
- Sri Lanka
- Bangladesh

This series will take place in England. The top two teams in each group will go forward and play in a finals series like this:

Game 1 - Group A 1st vs Group B 2nd at Edgbaston
Game 2 - Group B 1st vs Group A 2nd at Leeds
Final - Winner of Game 1 vs Winner Game 2 at Lords

The viewers can vote for who I will play as. I got the inspiration for this from jazz's Twenty-20 World Cup. It is a great story jazz. Everyone should check it out here (It's already over): http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10146

I will announce the fixtures and squads soon.
For now, I need suggestions on what patches, kits etc to use and all comments and critisicms welcome.

without south africa & zim...?

 

[jmcdonald]

I will play for the team viewers vote for (see above). I did not include Zimbabwe for the reason that they aren't the greatest team and left out South Africa so I could put the West Indies in. If you think I should take out Bangladesh or another team for South Africa, I'd like to hear it.
