Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

Great work.. thanks decent 6chora.. I really like the live scoring part it was not there before.

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

^ richie4u you have Afridi as your trump for the match against WI. Afridi won't be playing in the first two matches becaue of his ban.

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

^ Ehsan bhai its good that you reminded richie but change your signature to

"Jagtey rehna bhaioon....mairey pe na rehna bhaioon" :)

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

Shukeriya aap ka Decent 6Chora ! :smiley:

Aur jagtay rehna, ^ :rotfl:

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

thank you ehsan bhai completly forgot about that.

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

Can I suggest for one or more lowest scores to be dropped in the end from the total? So those who miss posting their teams for one game at least have one chance to compensate for it. There are just too many matches to keep up with, and people like myself have stuff to do usually. :p

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

^^ as a guppy I would suggest regarding above opinion that it would be unfair to guppies who make every effort to keep up with all the matches( fill in the team):snooty:

P.S; eat more badaam :stuck_out_tongue: and ppl like me also have loads of stuff to do Miss busy :cb:

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

^ On contrary, this is unfair to us poor souls as you administrators are obliged to keep up with it, and we have to make every attempt by earnestly taking time out from our obligations in order to post the teams. And Let our side of story be heard, you don’t get to be both administator and a regular participant so don’t play pretend. :stuck_out_tongue:

I want some spirit of the game. :mad: If I see resistance for us participants, I’ll consult Inzi and Co. and file an appeal against discrimination. :snooty:

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

Ok file a complain to Inzi, I will get him "Biryani and Aloo paratha in Asli ghee" right after your complain :D

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

Inzi ki bhook shall get you, I hope. :o

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

It would be good if there was some sort of indication next to the games for which I have saved a team already.

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

^ Thats a good idea. I'll work on this

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

I dont like the idea of having to change your team after every match.

There should be 11 players in the team and thats it... you pick 11 players that you think would do well in the worldcup... and whoever ends up with most points at the end, wins...

The aim is to pick the best players for the worldcup... you guys are treating it almost like a separate fantasy game for each match with a totally new team selection every time. Just seems like a lot of work and a bit hard for people to follow, as u could just get busy and miss one lousy game and ur pretty much out of the game.

There should be just 11 players and maybe some provision to change if some player gets seriously injured and gets ruled out of worldcup.. other than that, it should be the old fashioned way.... theres more skill involved in predicting whos gona play more matches for the country and who as a team is gona play more matches as a country and who are players prone to injuries, might get dropped etc.

Just my feelings :)
I know its too late and nothing will be changed because 1 person is having a whinge, but really, think about it... selecting separate teams every match seems like a total waste of time, and quite frankly, is simply too hard for some people who have busy lives.
would have been nice to just select 11 players and then just monitor everyones progress as the worldcup moves forward.

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

i actually agree with kaka...seriously speaking, how many of us know anything about the irish, bermudan and canadian teams??? :P

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

Thanks

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

The "**Entered Team?" option seems to be a little buggy. I have entered several additional teams and it still says "No" to it!

For eg I have entered the team for Ireland/Zim but it still shows No :(

Re: Fantasy Cricket: WORLD CUP 2007

^ For me it was the exact opposite. Even though I had not entered any teams until late last night it was showing 'yes' next to first 4 matches :)
