What's going on with England Innings 1 - Wicket 3? I've been the only one in the game waiting for quite some time now.

I've messaged people to get a move on on english wickets 2 and 3, just gotta get them moving and we'll have all the first innings underway and I'll start the second innings.

Current running scores are Australia, 9 for 320, only wicket 10 remains.

England are running wild though with 7/525, owing partly to the two forfeited matches... thanks to manu4eva...

Anyway. keep up the good batting folks, hopefully Australia will get the win in the last innings. New matches will be starting soon, make sure you've ready!

Sorry folks, due to a number of players going missing, and this being quite a complex tournament (more than I'd initially imagined) I'm going to have to let this one lapse. If anyone wants to take over, I'm more than happy to send you all I've got.

Sorry again, and I hope you'll join tourneys of mine in the future (which I'll make less complex, and easier to play in) - I'm learning as I go here

typical bloody aussies, always give up when losing

ARGGHHHH - well it was a good concept - more's the pity to let the poms think they could have actually won

LLLUUUKKKEEE · Post by **LLLUUUKKKEEE** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 12:55 am

Thats a shame,

Im sure we could find 11 aussies and 11 poms that want to play though.

Tieryn · Post by **Tieryn** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 7:42 am

Well, look, if I can get another 5 players willing to play for england (a stretch I know) and others willing to be reserves for australia...

and if we don't mind all playing a couple less games with more variety of players... and throw out the 10 players only concept, especially so the non-prem players only have to play one game nad the prem players can make up the difference....

this could work.....

So... Try and get more people in, I'm happy to keep running it if it's going to keep working, (and no yorkie, it's nothing to do with losing

) shall we make an effort? I'll need about 5-6 more names to keep going. Also I need to rethink the way I'm sending out games... pm'ing each player individually was half the main work, and then when half of them didn't show up... that's where my enthusiasm wanes...

I might just post game lists here, and tell everyone games are on, so you can check and join your own games... Okay.. you've talked me into it.. I'll keep going... but I need 5 more names before the next innings starts.

Post away folks.. The more the merrier (and better run!)

Actually.. if I can get 2 players from each team (one batter, one bowler) to act as vice-captains, and pass out game lists to their part of the team... and so I only have to message them.. that'll make the whole concept a bit easier, spread the load... divide and conquerclub!

Please put your hand up if you can spare some time in a vice-captaincy role.

I can spare it. I like sending PM's, strange, I know.

Does it matter if the other people aren't in England or Australia?

bump, hope this tourney comes back.

Should we have some batters temp in as bowlers and get the second innings started?
