ICC Sim League VII

Cricketer Of The Year
ICC Sim League VII

Format

This will be a twelve team tournament featuring both Test teams & First class teams from the era 1928-1953. All fixtures will be four-day matches, simmed on ICC 2013. Each team will face off against all of their opponents in the round robin stage. After eleven rounds, the top five placed teams will contest the finals series. In the event of two or more teams being tied on points at the end of the final round, the team with the better quotient will attain the higher position. Each manager will select a squad of 15.

Points System

Win – 6 pts
Loss – 0 pts
Won 1st innings in tied match – 4 pts
Lost 1st innings in tied match – 3 pts
Won 1st innings in drawn match – 2 pts
Loss, but won 1st innings – 2 pts
Lost 1st innings in drawn match – 0 pts
Quotient (Quot.) – Runs per wicket for divided by runs per wicket against.

Player Eligibility

Players must have played at least one international match between 1928-1953 to be eligible for selection. Managers of First Class teams (NSW, Vic, Yorks, Lancs, Surrey) may bolster their team with non-Test players if they wish, however, such players must have played the majority of their FC career between 1928-1953. When applicable, players which represented two or more First Class teams will be primarily available for the team they represented the longest. This will be determined by calendar years, not matches played.

Form/Injuries

Because I am simming each game individually, form will be non-existent. Any form, or lack of form, a player gains will be reset before the next match. Likewise, injuries are not a factor in this tournament either.

Alrighty then, we have three slots left: NZ, Pak & Surrey.

FYI Sam, in-game Smailes is recognised as a RM bowler.

I am also going to make an allowance for Pakistan to choose intl players up until 1954. This means guys such as Alimuddin & Shujauddin, who were both very much on the domestic scene in the 40's & early 50's, are available for selection.

Actually very hard unless I'm missing some very obvious names. Majority of Australian cricketers in that era played for NSW/Victoria exclusively.

FYI the Don isn't available for NSW.



I might be prepared to loosen the belt and let 1953 players in. Anyone think it might be better like that? NSW would stand to pick up Davidson too.
Another possibility would be to allow each side one wildcard selection who played first class cricket between 1928 and 1952 but played the entirity of their test career either before 1928 or after 1953.

Come to think of it I'll allow 1953 players in this comp. This gives us a 25-year window (1928-1953) to choose from. I'll edit the OP to reflect this.

Nice looking squad Michael, although you don't have to have a reserve wicketkeeper if you don't to. Feel free to exchange one of your 'keepers for someone else if you like.
