Anyone Intrested in hosting some Cricket? A Cricket Test Series, world cup or anything with those similarities. I do not wish to host, but would join if someone hosted.
Anyone???

This one is for all you cricket fans out there. Get in and Bowl a few, hit a few and catch a few. If someone hosted, we could have a big blast, with lots of cricket teams. We could make it a Regular thing on NationStates...
Anyone???

I've been looking for some cricket for ages. I'd love to get involved.

Since I doubt there'll be much interest, maybe we could start off with a series between our nations, and then see if it grows?

Ok. How will we do the scores? I have to go to lectures soon, so I can't post much more till the evening.

Hmm. Good Point. Score!
Well, we could try random, i dont know.
Does Liverpool England or any other nation have any ideas for scoring?

I asked in #sport. He said, basically, no. I'll try to catch them again later, and ask. In the meantime, I guess we could just do a trial using random number generation. I'll start the thread this evening, if that's ok.

Glad to finally find an NSer interested in cricket!

That ok. Its almost 7pm here. I live in Australia. I can tell you that the suburb(s) surrounding my place called home is crawling with people who are joined to nationstates. In the morning around 7:30am which will be evening over there i can check. Will it be there around then???
It doesn't worry me.
Thanks

I'm on GMT (well, plus BST adjustment), so I guess I'm about 12 hours out of synch with you.

Yes. I don't quite understand the time system throughout the world but that's me.
So yeah

I'll start a thread called Donald Bradman Trophy 1 - Signups and Rosters, it can be like the Cherry Cup of Cricket.

I'll work out a format, we'll be looking for 12 teams to start with, and we'll expand to 16 if interest is high.

If we can get names down in the thread please, the roster system will come along in good time.
