Question....

[Nate]

Because for the last three/four years we've pretended Cricket Web is the 11th Test nation. It's basically one big role playing game with imaginary clubs, states, towns, cities, newspapers, etc, etc, but we try not to think of it like that as that just sounds pathetic.

Are we bad people?

Yes, we are. Embarrassed RPers = the worst kind.

This was kinda funny, but not nearly as funny as that Indian or Pakistani kid who applied for an off-season Club Cricket side in the US with a resume and so on.

When I mention it to my wife, she just pats me on the head, smiles in a funny way and says "Its ok, I still love you"

Its fun, but certainly not easy to justify and explain

Yeah, the whole cricketweb.net does seem a bit anoraky, but I still love it.

Haha, same thing happened to me when I told mine about my PC (Planet Cricket) league.

That poor fella, and if he can bowl all of those well and be "off spinner like me who bowls much better then Murli" then why havent we heard of him before?

EDIT: Nice linking btw eyes

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Hakon looked it up, he has a cricket archive page I think.

If you put his name into google he had placed that resume all over. Looks to be at least a half decent player though

EDIT- Looks like that email may actually have got him a job. His email is shown in full and he is listed as overseas player for this club in 2006

Looking round the site, that 'overseas' piece reads as the ultimate form of demeaning the reply - taking it seriously. They look very much a beer and chips Sunday team.

Imagine if you were the one running it.
Figures that I don't mention it to anyone outside of CW. Or if I do, I call it testing of a data output simulation.

Yeah, not the sort of thing I admit to people. I get enough funny looks for writing for a cricket site anyway, apparently I'm supposed to be getting pissed at parties or something.

 

[The Baconator]

Both can be done tbh.
