World Cricket - Outside the bubble

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I want to step outside of our little CW XI bubble and resume something that I did in the early days of CW cricket - show evidence of other cricket being played. We're only ever aware of cricket matches involving the CW XI in some way, and that's just not right. In order to further increase the undoubted realism of CW cricket, I'd like to reintroduce neutral series.

And on that note, can I get a couple of people to put their hand up to be in charge of this aspect of CW cricket? You'd have to sim matches and organize all the squad news etc. surrounding the series.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Upcoming series:

South Africa in Australia - 3 Tests - 5 ODIs
India in Sri Lanka - 3 Tests - 7 ODIs

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yeah, I'll be involved.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Looking for one, possibly 2 others then. Apply within. Already a fair amount of interest expressed on MSN, so apply quickly.

 

[Adamc]

I'd be happy to lend a hand if you need one, sounds like you're adequately staffed though.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

You're in if you're truly interested.

Basic requirements:

1. Sim matches and post results in an attractive way - brief match report.
2. Post news tidbits regarding the series (squad news, injuries etc.)

And if you need to leave the job at any point (real life tends to interfere), all I ask is:

1. You finish any series in progress first, or get an immediate replacement.
2. You give a week's notice.

It's really a great job and superb employers ahead of you.

Team Pools:

Pool A (Sean Fuller):
Australia
South Africa
Pakistan
Bangladesh
West Indies

Pool B (undecided):
England
New Zealand
India
Sri Lanka
Kenya

Series involving a team from each pool will see simming duties shared between simmers.

 

[w3lshrugby]

Yeh, I'm happy to do this...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Ok, if I can get one more it'll be ideal. Because then two people can share duties for each team pool, allowing for more updates ideally - one sims and one does news etc.

 

[Adamc]

I won't have time to do anything between now and next Friday; if that's not a problem then count me in.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Williams will work with Fuller on Pool A. If I can get someone else to work with Collins, they'll handle Pool B.

 

[Travis_Teh]

Yeah, sounds fun.

Count me in, amego.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Positions sorted then.

Learn Spanish btw.

Adam to work with Travis on Pool B.

It's really a great job and superb employers ahead of you.

Can I be a selector for NZ?

Only if you promise to rotate James Marshall, Hamish Marshall, Stephen Fleming, Peter Fulton, Brendon McCullum, Jacob Oram, Scott Styris, Andre Adams and Daniel Vettori in the two opening spots.

Fair enough.

Wouldn't mind doing something similar to these either if Liam would like me to.
