Would anyone like to join this? You can have captains, and make your own teams. You enter your teams into the cricket simulator called "Cricsim".
It then simulates the match and simulates all the commentary and everything. The commentary is then pasted into the thread.

Here is an example.

What do you guys think of this? Would you all be willing to join up and make a PP fantasy league?

[iZeeshan]

Oh this would be UBER Sweet. We can make this the official thing for using the sim. Then I will make a seperate thread for captains, and everything. Good work Sean.

I am a captain btw. And if Easa declines, he will also be a captain.

We can also have a draft to see who picks who for their team.

[Sean]

I honestly think that mods should be captains. If not, then people who have been on this site since 2005.

[Straight Bat]

I'm up for it

[iZeeshan]

Well SB you will be in the draft.

We need to decide how many teams to have though? Each team will draft 12 players, and there will be no injuries. I am thinking we should have 4 teams.

I am a captain. Easa is also a captain. Now we need 2 more captains. They can members or MODs.

[Vegitto1]

I will be a captain

[Straight Bat]

I'll be damned if I end up being a minion for Vegitto

[Easa]

Well as for there being 4 teams of 12, where are we gonna get 48 participating members from? I'd be happy to captain.. :D

[Sean]

iZee, who said you were running it? :P

[iZeeshan]

Oh please Sean. You can't run everything now, can you?

Ok, I am captain. As is Easa.

Everyone okay with Vegitto being another captain?

[hasbeen]

when was i sacked as captain? :12:

[Sean]

I honestly think that the mods should decide who is captain. Not just choose yourself and all of your friends.

[iZeeshan]

Nah man it doesn't matter. Lets not even bring the mods into this.

So right now, the captains are me and Easa. Vegitto, you gotta be a little older. There's really no cutoff date, but you gotta have done something on PP. Like me getting banned 840320958092580294 times :P

[iZeeshan]

Bump. The sim is really, really cool. This could be a lot of fun. I think we will go with 4 captains only, and then maybe add more teams later. So, I will craete a separate threads.

As of now, me and Easa are captains. Come on, we need 2 more so I can get this thing started! APPLY!

Uhg, I Need to advertise this some how. Actually, I'll post this in the cricket section to get everyone's attention.

[hasbeen]

what does the captain actually have to do?

[Sean]

Choose the team. ;-)

[hasbeen]

Choose the team. ;-)

oh is that it

[iZeeshan]

And set orders and stuff...

[Big Daddy]

lets do a vote out on who gets to be captain
top 4 entries win it. id like to believe i can bend it as captain as well. so how about we go democratic ?

[Sean]

Oh and you can choose the pitch condition.

[iZeeshan]

Actually, thats the end of it.

Big Daddy, Hasbeen, Easa, and me are captains. UNLESS, Sean wants to be a captain because he's the co-organizer of this.

[Sean]

Yes, I'll be a captain.....
And you won't! :P

Nah, I won't be captain.

[iZeeshan]

Aiite.

So me, HB, Easa, and BD are captains.

Next step is the draft.

[Easa]

BD - you need to make your pick in the other thread..

[iZeeshan]

Nice pick Easa. He was going to be my next pick.

I really dunno who to go for though. Since averages have nothing to do with it, I am going with people I like...

[Sean]

Meee!!!!!

Edit: No, averages do have a part. If you're a bowler, you'll have you're bowling average will be wickets per day times 3. Because some people haven't made many threads at all. And your batting average is your posts per day times 2.

[Easa]

Picks so far by the captains:

Hasbeen: Straight Bat
iZeeshan: Monsee
Easa Q. : PlanetPakistan

And by the way, I have a fantastic average then, well above 50! :19:

[Sean]

Wow, I just thought. Imagine AJ's average! It'd be nearly 90! :O

Mine's nearly 50. :D

[Sean]

Oh yeah, and I've put my name down. Just remember that. :)

[Straight Bat]

This concept of avg's is making this more and more intresting...

good work guys!

[Medic]

Ive mentioned it on another thread, I put my name in the hat :D

[Medic]

Wow, I just thought. Imagine AJ's average! It'd be nearly 90! :O

Mine's nearly 50. :D

How do you know your average??

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

BD - draft me ur fellow nfl follower!!

[Straight Bat]

How do you know your average??

clcik on your name, and it'll say it next to post count

[corneredtiger92]

Am i eligible?

Whats the actual link for the software sean?

[iZeeshan]

Meee!!!!!

Wow, why didn't you say that before! Its not fair on the first three pickers because I would have definetely picked AJ!

Ugh...

[hasbeen]

Ugh...

exactly. i picked sb who has 18 lol and i have 11

[iZeeshan]

I think we should start the entire draft all over again. Its really not fair on me and Hasbeen and Easa, though I don't think Easa will mind PP's healthy average of 50.

Also, Sean how are you going to calculate bowling average? Theres no place that says Wickets (threads per day) and then gives a number.

[iZeeshan]

Honestly though, there is no fit way to put in a bowling average. Because with threads, what you are actually doing, Sean, is putting a penalty on those who don't create threads!

The only thing I can think of batting average should be x3 the number of runs per day, and the bowling average should be the average runs per day.

:13: can some one please explain that part to me.

[hasbeen]

25 posts a day times it by 2

[PlanetPakistan]

25 posts a day times it by 2
oh...shukria.

[iZeeshan]

Anybody wanna change the captains to more active ones? :P

[iZeeshan]

Guys, I have made my descion. We are restarting the draft.

Hasbeen, please edit your post, and make your pick again.

[iZeeshan]

Oh and I have found a great way to make up averages.

Your posts per day are multiplied by 3. According to what that average becomes, you can tell if you are a bowler or a batsman.

For example, if you multipy Easa's runs per by 3, you get 90, which obviously makes him a batsman. You multiply Saj's runs per by 3, you get 15, which makes him a bowler. This is mostly fair because not many people have amazing averages of 30 posts per day.

But captains please, do not hunt out players who post like 1 per day. Please pick active members.

[hasbeen]

ok since we are picking again and posts etc.. count. i will pick AMJID JAVED

[Sean]

Nah, because the averages will then be too high. I reckon multiply it by 2. Because AJ would then have an average of 130! That's unheard of.

[iZeeshan]

Its just one player man, live with it. THen others' will be too low!

Hasbeen, please edit it in the other thread, not this thread.

[iZeeshan]

EDIT. No one saw that. :D

Big Daddy please appear in the thread somewhere again, just so I know you're still on for this thing. You have 4th pick, after Easa, who is yet to pick.

[iZeeshan]

Arrite, BD doesn't wanna be captain, so we need a replacement. Who's gonna be the 4th captain now?

Accept, then make your pick.

[Straight Bat]

Man I would nominate myself ( i mean I'm on PP long enough to visit all the threads etc) but I'll be going to paksitan on the 9th so i'd be missing PP for a while

[iZeeshan]

Yea you would be a good captain, but if your not on PP for, say, 1 month, then its no fun.

SB, do you have Hasbeen's msn or aim, I really need to talk to him.

[iZeeshan]

Oh and Sean was right.

x3 is a little to ridicoulous! We will multiply all the "runs per day" averages by 2, and w/e it comes out to defines your status as a bowler/batsman/allrounder.

[Sean]

I'll go captain if you want. But I honestly think we should have a "legends" team with mods. Or a team with people from the SN days.

[iZeeshan]

Thats too complicated.

Sean your captain. Make your pick.

[Sean]

I honestly think we just get people to sign up instead of just choosing people.

and do it like this.

Like this.

Want to be a batsman or a bowler? Bowler
Batsman hand: Right
Bowler hand: Right
Bowler type: leg spin

What do you think?

[Alex]

Can I sign up?

Name : Alex

Batter/Bowler? : Bowler Please.

Type: Right Arm Fast

[iZeeshan]

What do you think?
No man, please stop trying change what I am doing! The draft is better.

Alex, you have just joined PP, so I don't think you would be drafted. Maybe next season. Sorry.

And Sean! PICK! Its your turn to PICK!

[corneredtiger92]

am i in?

[iZeeshan]

Well, everyone on PP is "in". You just gotta be picked. But since, ctiger, you show so much interest, you will be picked ahead of others.

;-)

[Hari Sombar]

I sould be picked ahead of others too ;-)

[iZeeshan]

Hari! You have some amazing bowling average! You will be my sleeper pick!

[iZeeshan]

I have got the program. I have made random teams for me and Easa, and I will simulate it.
I have given all the batsman an average of 50, and all the bowlers an average of 21. Just a simulation.

The teams are:

My team:

Zeeshan*, AJ, Oxy, Saj, 12th Man+, Raz, Merc, Monsee, Hash, Uzzy, Amir

Easa:

Easa*, PP, MIG, infamous9383, Sean, Hafridi, CorneredTiger, Shayan, Daoud, Hari, Medic

These are totally RANDOM and just to give everyone a feel of the game.

[iZeeshan]

Oopsy daisey. Problem fixed.

hehehe... :22:

[iZeeshan]

My computer is a little dead right now, so I will try it again later.

[PlanetPakistan]

Zeeshan and Sean,
Come on guys, no need to be upset about it! There is no point in playing if you are not going to enjoy it so please take care of the misunderstanding and carry on with the game.

[iZeeshan]

Arey PP, why did you delete my post. I didn't say anything.

And btw, I am not upset, just peeved.

[Easa]

So theres no draft? All right - should I create a match thread? iZeeshan XI vs Easa XI? Or you can do that if you wish.. we need to be a bit more organized with this.

[iZeeshan]

Nahi, there is a draft. Those were just random teams.

[Easa]

Man, to be honest, I don't want to go ahead with this. Its simply not interesting enough and I don't care enough about it to participate. Sorry.

[Hassaan]

Hay guys I will be willing to play oh ya and If you guys want me to be a captain I will be

more than happy to do that job or at least VC that would be a job I would be willin

to do

[iZeeshan]

Sorry, hassaan you are too new to be a captain.

Sean, you wanna go ahead with this?

[Sean]

Nah, it's alright, iZee. Sorry.

Btw, I don't believe your sig.
