I just cut and pasted the first post from our last tournament. Seemed like a good place to start:
OK, so here we go again. I have updated all the links on the right so don't hesitate to use them often. And don't hesitate to post comments - that's half the fun ya know?
To get us going I will put some questions out there for you to ponder and reply to:
1. What will your team name be? Does it have any special meanings?
2. What is your strategy for this tournament?
3. Other than yourself, who would you most like to see win our competition? Who would you like to see fail? (I know that's not nice but come on, there is someone you secretly want to be on the bottom) Who do you really want to make sure you are ahead of?
Discuss........
Also, keep in mind that this is a Twenty20 tournament. So they play shorter games (20 overs) as opposed to the 50 overs of a 1 day international game like they did in the World Cup. So expect batters to be going balls to the walls (hey, that would be a good team name - I may have to change) and not holding back - this could lead to high scores or a duck.
final note: matches get underway on Tuesday the 18th with the host nation Sri Lanka taking on Zimbabwe. Don't discount Zimbabwe, I think this might be their year.

1) My team name is "This is my boomstick!" See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFriRcIwqNU for details.
ReplyDelete2) Strategy - Copy Katy's research when she is not looking.
3) I want Katy to win, I also want Katy to come last.
Zimbabwe??? I doubt they can even get 1 run against SL.
1. HoG because I have one and I like it.
ReplyDelete2. Strategy- pick players that score points. Not sure wether to pick A player or F player for captin. Can see advantages to both. Thoughts?
3. Other than myself I like to see me win.
1Hog because I have one.
ReplyDelete2Pick players that score points. Question: do you pick an A player or an F player for a captan?
3. Becides myself I'd like me to win.

1. Why is James anonymous? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I looked up on Google and found a website that gives you the top ten cricket team names - some fun ones there like 'Hit & Run'. 3.I want to win!
ReplyDelete1. I live in a balehouse. So, what else?
ReplyDelete2. Whatever I did last time that got me near the top before I lost the plot and everything else. Problem: Have no idea what I did.
3. This must be a trick question, no? I secretly want everyone other than myself to lose...
1. Bazinga - because that is what you will hear as my team zooms past you in the rankings.
ReplyDelete2. Less is more.
3. Its not who wins or loses, it how much fun you have playing the game. Bazinga!
So, I'm confused. More than usual. There have been some games already, right? So why haven't any of us got points? Did all 11 of us get everything absolutely wrong - at one time?
ReplyDeleteOnly one game has been played so far and the points have not yet been allocated apparently. We have just watched the last two minutes on TV - not sure what time they are being broadcast. Apparently Zimbabwe were awful (commentators said so).
