Story PlanetCricket and the 2011 WC ; Brendon Hedger is our captain

[Aussie Team]

wow! a Great win for us. expecting bowl a bit.

 

[sachin_rocks]

Just prepared the roster for AC09 of the 14 applicants.
Mark my words, its going to be really tough for a player to make it in the Playing XI. The competition is very high.

The one who gets elected as the Captain will be the luckiest person.

but with my century in the practice match i should be given prefernece

sachin_rocks added 3 Minutes and 17 Seconds later...

If I am captain, I'll make sure everyone gets a fair go.

And the politics starts...

Although even if I'm made a captain I'll do the same thing.

Meh, I'll take 40 odd though, next match I'll be going for a milestone

Dam I didn't manage to get a bat, I did take a catch though.
I'm a Batting All Rounder, so why didn't I bowl?

Ask Tom as I had given him the captaincy for the trial match.

 

[Highlander999]

Explains a lot. When I was captain, we spent a whole season losing :laugh

"PlanetCricket's tour to Australia - 3 Tests, 5 ODIs and 1 T20I" seems to be the clear winner with 8 votes and so I won't continue with the poll.

I would like to request the mods to please delete the poll ASAP so that a poll for captaincy can be up as we now have the required 16 registered members.

PlanetCricket and the 2011 WC
Article by Bounce

Just when I saw Mark's story, I got a nice idea :idea. Thought of implementing it, and with the support of you guys, I am sure that it will turn out to be successful.
The story will mainly be of Team PlanetCricket's journey in the 2011 WC. Team PlanetCricket will be replacing Canada in the 2011 WC and will feature in all the matches were Canada had to.

A 16 man squad will be chosen to visit the sub-continent for the event. If we have more than 16 sign ups (hopefully), then the selection of the 16 members will depend on these factors:

• Activeness in the thread with meaningful posts before the announcement of squads.
• The best possible team combination.

We could also have some practice matches to decide on the squad, with the help of the elected captain and the vice captain.

The matches will be simulated on Ashes Cricket 2009 and the WC will begin as soon as the sign ups are done and the squads are announced. The playing XIs for the international teams will be decided on the best possible XI for the country on that very day (as the matches will be simulated very early than the actual WC takes place and we might see some huge changes in their squads by that time).

The player skills will vary as of their activeness in this thread as the tournament progresses.
More details to be out later.

lol! That a great presentation..

 

[Meet]

Its perfect

 

[Viral Shah]

The overlay is looking perfect.

 

[hedger_14]

yeah. i should be captain because if tom is captain, we'll lose every game and that means we won't be playing in as many matches at the world cup.

 

[riz7khan12]

yeah. i should be captain because if tom is captain, we'll lose every game

i rather have tom actually for obvious reasons

overlay is looking mighty fine

 

[hedger_14]

I wonder what reasons they are Riz :sarcasm

you might not even get chosen with Tom as captain. Your own fault for signing up as a keeper.
