CWXI Development League

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Where we will reach the final and then concede 463 in our fifty overs as the opponents channel the combined spirits of Mike Hussey, Andrew Symonds, Sanath Jayasuriya, Shahid Afridi, Ben Wilshere and Harry Warwick. We will then make 462/9 in reply and news stations worldwide will report the highest use of four-letter words in an instant messenger conversation of all time.

Hey, this is our season. We can't choke forever (because we're not South Africa and Rich doesn't support us).

You've been assigned to Garven Island Sharks in grade cricket. Your first two matches will take place today.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

I used to have a player in CW Black, and i would be interested in participating again.

You just made your grade cricket debut for Greater Robbham de Grooters.

Apologies for not adding you before.

 

[GotSpin]

Sorry can you explain this grade cricket stuff.

Ooo got 88 on debut

 

[andyc]

Grade cricket is around for teams that are having a bye, or those players who aren't selected in a side for that round. It means that even when you aren't playing for your actual First Class side or List-A side, you still get a game. The stats, however, don't go toward your First Class or List-A averages, just like in real life. So although you hit an 88, it doesn't mean your batting average or rating will rise, unfortunately.

 

[GotSpin]

I see. What do you mean by rating though

 

[Robertinho]

Well, the sims that we use (HODI, ITC) require a batting & bowling average ("Simming averages". ITC actually uses bowling strike rates and economy rates). As a rookie, Liam assigns you a simming average for batting and bowling based on your signup form (he does adjust it to make it realistic) and after a 30 matches or something your career averages will become your simming average. Grade cricket doesn't affect your simming average/rating at all.

Welcome to the CW Dev League - the regular season has just ended, but keep watch on the threads in this forum as well as the other CricketWeb XI subforums - there are charity games and there will also likely be club cricket (found in the Player's Asssociation forum) in the nearish future.

Welcome aboard.

 

[GotSpin]

How long is the off-season?

 

[age_master]

a while, i wouldn't worry though, the off-season looks like it will have lots and lots of cricket in it.

 

[cricketboy29]

I must say, next offseason we could have two allrounders xi's
