Charity Matches

[Loony BoB]

It'd be an honour to play a game with any such legends - if anyone's able to contact them pointing them to this thread, that'd be great.

EDIT: Here's a revised listing of who has posted in this thread (aside from broncoman who has stated his reasons for not wishing to play in his post ).

Loony BoB

Should be good fun, hopefully we'll be able to arrange it so everyone gets a game.

 

[KennyD]

whoot!

sounds kickass look forward to it!

 

[PY]

there is probably close to enough if you count part timers and inactive players
let me see:
Vimes
Andre
Don
Jamee
Eyes only
Adil dewan
black keeper 1
black keeper 2
blue keeper 1
blue keeper 2
myself

there is probably a couple more too

Guess I might be counted in that as I'm no longer a CW XI player so I'm available.

I'm also up for playing a charity game if I'm required.

Another thing you could do is have batsmen being bowlers and and bowlers being batsmen so basically people get to something different! Just a suggestion of course.

 

[Mister Wright]

Hey Loony. I had a chat to Rik on MSN yesterday morning and he said he'd be sweet with selecting a tribute side. I don't have LE's contacts, so if someone else could get onto him that would be good.

 

[Jamee999]

First we should rank the players in either 1,2,3,4 etc. or 5 groups.

28 Players. 6 groups of 5 with 2 having 4?


Loony BoB Group 6
KennyD Group 6
biased indian Group 4
superkingdave Group 4
thewizard101 Group 5
steds Group 5
age_master Group 3
Mister Wright Group 1

Andre Group 2
bugssy Group 1
Mr Mxyzptlk Group 2

I don't get a single bit of how you sorted out that last post, sorry... I figured we'd just wait 'til the end of the season and order the players in order of them posting in this thread. Since they're charity matches, it should be an opportunity for the newer players rather than just another game for them to watch since "they weren't picked because they weren't in the top grouping". The second game can be for the second set of 22 players, and the third game can be for the 22 after that (once you get to the bottom of the list, you'd go back to the top). If we get three more players - two if we include Rik as he's said he's happy to participate - we can have 32 players used over four charity matches, each of them playing three games - a fair share all around. I figure they'd be OD games, since most charity matches are, however we could always put that to a quick vote or something.

On top of that, we could have the Dev League Batting XI vs. the Dev League Bowling XI, with the top eleven batsmen taking on the top eleven bowlers.

 

[Loony BoB]

I don't suppose two more CW Blue players and one more CW Green player would like to sign up for a few charity matches in the off season? I have room for eight players from each CW colour, I'm currently lacking two Blues and one Green.

 

[Loony BoB]

Following the above post up, as the main thing I'd like to do in all of this is mix up the leagues, I figure it would be easiest to use groups by sorting them into fours (once we have 32 players), each four having one player of each colour. The eight groups of four could then play against each other in the following setups...

123 vs. 567
412 vs. 678
341 vs. 785
234 vs. 856

This means we'd have 4 players from each CW colour making 16 for Team A and another 16 would be made for Team B. Everyone would get the chance to play alongside twelve different players from CW Dev League opposition teams and also the chance to play against four of their own teammates at the same time.

Going by alphabetical order, the teams could be something similar to...

TEAM A
Username	CW Team Colour	Group No.
ash chaulk	Black		1
Adamc		Blue		1
age_master	Green		1
Andre		Red		1
cbuts		Black		2
KennyD		Blue		2
biased indian	Green		2
AUST_HiTMaN	Red		2
Ferd		Black		3
Mr Mxyzptlk	Blue		3
Jamee999	Green		3
bugssy		Red		3
kears_falcon_9	Black		4
Nnanden		Blue		4
Loony BoB	Green		4
marc71178	Red		4

TEAM B
Username	CW Team Colour	Group No.
masterblaster	Black		5
Paid The Umpire	Blue		5
lord of darknessGreen		5
Mister Wright	Red		5
Mr. P		Black		6
PY		Blue		6
Majin		Green		6
Samuel Vimes	Red		6
Neil Pickup	Black		7
???1		Blue		7
thewizard101	Green		7
Slats4ever	Red		7
superkingdave	Black		8
???2		Blue		8
???3		Green		8
steds		Red		8

That's just an example, though - I have a good idea of how to sort them once we find out who our last few players will be.

 

[roseboy64]

I'm in if you need an extra.CW Greeen too.

 

[Loony BoB]

Awesome! Just the two CW Blue needed now, and we're done.

 

[Simon]

Awesome! Just the two CW Blue needed now, and we're done.

yeh chuck me in, may as well....

 

[Loony BoB]

Cheers, mate. One more CW Blue player to go and we're done and dusted as far as the 32 players for four charity matches go.

 

[Sudeep]

Count me in

 

[Loony BoB]

Alright! Thanks, Sudeep. Glad that's sorted. Now, could players from each team give me a rough batting order to work with (obviously for their own team), using the below players? Just re-order them from opener onwards.

On top of that, we could have the Dev League Batting XI vs. the Dev League Bowling XI, with the top eleven batsmen taking on the top eleven bowlers.

My thinking is now that with 30 players we could have 3 teams of 11 if we find 3 more players and we could go for a Triangular Tournament. The Rik XI, The Neil Pickup XI and the Andre XI. Everyone would get 4 or 6 games the top 2 teams get 3 more: the finals!

Rookies would play with CWXI Greats like Pickup, Marc and Andre while there would be rivarlry between the top players.

 

[marc71178]

CW RED in order (assuming a one day)
bugssy (bowls a few overs)
Slats (bowls a few less than him above)
marc71178 (bowls a couple more than him above)
Andre (bowls if you're desperate)
steds (bowls a fair few)
AUST_HiTMaN (opens bowling and likes to think he can pinch-hit - but he's less successful than Afridi)
Mister Wright (Solid 10 over bowler, has now worked out which end of the bat to hold)
Samuel Vimes (scores about 1 run every 3 weeks in OD, but doesn't get out, keeps wicket)
