Captains name the side with different types of players. The different types of players they name all depend on the pitch. A good captain will recognise the type of pitch and pick a team based on that.

eg. On an Excellent pitch an extra bowler may be needed whereas on a Poor Pitch an extra batsman or all rounder can be a good idea.

If you're not the captain you can't do much except for talk shit and sledge the opposition.

The sim is a computer program with bits written into it that will effect each game accordingly.

It takes into account the type of pitch (poor, excellent, normal), the number of batsman, bowlers and all rounders, and the form of the teams and creates a match for us.

Each different type of player has an average. For instance crktluva if you were a batsman you would have a batting average of 45 (guessing) but a bowling average of 99. So if you were chucked the ball, basiclly you would be stuffed.

The sim also recognises people who are in form and they are more likly to make runs or take wickets.

It all comes down to your captain. What side he picks, who is in form and who isnt that should be dropped. What pitch to select for the game as well.

Its a bit of fun, especially in teh off-season if you guys would continue to come back to the site.

Basically you are there to give shit to the opposition, post up crap and just tell the world how great a cricketer you are (something i dont think many of you geelong boys would have trouble with) without actually bowling or hitting a ball.
