hehehe, and as neil sits down to eat his breakfast, this huge hulking 6 ft 3 man comes in neil's face, and says 'you think my names stupid, punk?'

 

[33/3from3.3]

His real first name is 'Iron'???
ONLY IN AMERICA

 

[TIF]

Heres my entry. As I do not play cricket at any form, so these are not my real stats. Just some stats I have cooked up. I am signing as a batsman as I play as a batsman whenever I play some galli-cricket out here in India.

Name: TIF
Initials (eg Liam A. Camps = LA; Neil S. Pickup = NS): TF
Handedness (LHB/RHB): RHB
Keeper? Y/N: N
Bowling (OS/LS/LAS/Chinaman/F/FM/MF/M): Off-Spin
General Batting position (1-11): 3

Batting Avge: 32 (I tend to throw away my wicket when well set, so 32 could just be fine enough)
Bowling Avge: 80 (I do not bowl, so I guess 80 might be just fine)
Bowling Econ. (optional): 8 (Non-bowlers like me usually go for that many runs)

Batting SR (FC cricket): 120 (I am an attacking batsman as I hit 4s and 6s with ease in galli-cricket)
Fielding rating: Multiples of 3 please, with 3 being lowest and 27 highest. (eg Reon King =3, Jonty Rhodes = 27; 3,6,9 etc.): 21

Add these details to mine:

Name: Dhamaka Singh (This is not my real name, just a name I have cooked up)
Initials: DS
E-Mail: vvs_laxman281@hotmail.com

You should have put down TIF Laxman, me thinks

 

[33/3from3.3]

You can almost guarantee that someone somewhere in the world would take offense at that comment

Someone called 'Iron' for instance??

planning on hitting a few sixes are you?

 

[roseboy64]

Someone called 'Iron' for instance??

That's the idea.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Someone called 'Iron' for instance??

Disaster strikes. I've unilaterally decided to rename him Inzamam Desi.

He was warned.

 

[Loony BoB]

Would've thought it would have been Ivan Desi, but that works too. Hoping for a world class batsman are we, Neil?

 

[cricketboy29]

Or are we trying to invite runouts on to your team?

 

[Loony BoB]

Nah, we have our players now - I think the next four unsigned players will probably go to Black/Red/Blue/Green, unless Colts get hit by injuries.

 

[marc71178]

Does my proposal from last season now come into play then Liam?

 

[Loony BoB]

Oh, yeah! We've been waiting a long time to find out what that is. Looking forward to finding out about all the changes and improvements.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

What I can say thus far:

Given the general low standards of fielding in the Dev League and the fact that everyone does not sign up with brilliant fielding stats as things are, that section will not b regulated with any of the proposed formulae. The only restriction would be a 39-cap for any wicketkeeper averaging over 30 and a 45-cap for a specialist wicketkeeper.

Aside from that, I need a formal proposal of the various plans regarding limiting signups. As things stand, the plans were under discussion when last left. If I can get final presentations of the plans (with everything tinkered and settled), I will start to make a proper assessment.

 

[Loony BoB]

If possible, could we all see the formal proposal, marc? I think this issue should be looked at as a group. Many minds are better than one.

Liam - we've had a whole lot of ideas going around in the "Finding a balance" thread for a while now, but no recent input from yourself at all - would you like us to make one or two of those ideas into 'formal proposals'?

I'm actually drafting up the guidelines of the system that has been in use since last season to present to you guys. I've altered it slightly, but it's based on the premise of simplicity. It also tends to reward people who are honest/realistic with their stats. It involves no complex formulae, just peak numbers, base numbers and scaling down.

 

[marc71178]

My proposal is absolutely nothing to do with sign-up stats, so don't see any relevance.

 

[Loony BoB]

Ah, okay. Either way, if it's something that will affect everyone I'm sure it'd be nice to see such a proposal as someone in the league might get an inspired idea from it.

 

[marc71178]

It has absolutely nothing to do with you, unless that is you've just taken over the Colts side.

 

[David]

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah.

Just let Liam do his work.
