Instead of cluttering up "The Thread", and boring the rest of the posters there, I thought I would put a lot of my Cricket World session reports on Blogger.
Cricket World is a dice & card game, available from Owzat Games, which allows you to replay any season or series out there using team-based batting and bowling ratings. To start out with I will be replaying the Sheffield Shield, starting at it's birth in 1892-93. Information on this competitions real life history can be found here.
There are just three teams at this point in time: New South Wales; South Australia; Victoria. The sides play each other twice, and the winner is determined by games won. After the first year, tie-breaks come into play. There were no time limits, and the follow-on rules were for 120 runs or more, so I will be trying to keep within the rules of the time as well as I know them.
I will be adding little tidbits about the rules of Cricket World, and how things work, but mostly they will be straight-up session reports.
