Australian Manager Announcement

[Cloete]

Well after seeing blewy and simon resign i think i have to do the same thing. i'm not able to post conditions/squads/teams every 3 days and i'm pretty much just becoming a burden.

i was thinking jamee could have Australia and nibblet could have NZ. just a suggestion though.

sorry about the inconvenience.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Or perhaps we should scrap the whole thing. There seems to be a dramatic loss of interest and although the concept and the execution (IMO) is good, the schedule may be a bit too tight for some people.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Suggest you cut the frequency..

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That could be done, but a 52-Test season would take forever to complete.

 

[marc71178]

How about cutting it to 2 games per week, Wednesday, Saturday?

That way we have set deadlines each week (rather than every 3 days, which can get a bit confusing)

I must say from the work put in, scrapping it is not a decision that should be taken lightly.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Just a bit of frustration on my part. I just don't want to continue putting in so much work if there's not interest.

Considering your 2 games per week idea, that would mean that a 52-Test season would take a year to complete. Will people hold interest that long?

 

[Blewy]

From my perspective i can understand how much work has gone in, and i agree with marc on both accounts...

I don't think you should scrap it, just alter the scheduling...
I mean every 3 days got very confusing as to when we had to post sides, if you have set deadlines each week it would be much easier to understand...

 

[marc71178]

That was my thought Blewy.

And Liam 52 games at 2 a week is half a year!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

52.... 2...... half....

This is true. :wow:

Perhaps we could consider having an ODI format instead of Tests for Season 2? That might hold attention span better.

 

[Jamee999]

Liam half of the players would not have ODI stats

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Naturally the managers would pick over their 30-man squads. That would be the case regardless of whether it was Test or ODI.

 

[Mister Wright]

I can do both Australia & New Zealand until you find someone to do either one.

 

[Yousuf_Youhana]

could I be the Aussie manager? or have you changed your mind cloete?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Ok Yousuf Youhana. You are set for Australia.

Do you understand everything that you have to do? If not, then you can post your questions on the forum, or chat with Marc or myself online sometime.

Welcome aboard.

Jamee999 will take over India.

That leaves Sri Lanka vacant. Does anyone dare?

 

[Yousuf_Youhana]

yes i understand everything, i'll just see what other people post on the conditions and i can learn from them, also I would like to keep the Squad and the home grounds.

 

[Mister Wright]

there you go, and thanks for offering me help

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

One urgent thing:

You have to name your 15-man touring squad which is in India now. Cloete forgot to do it.

Check the website. and the Australia team page for details.
