The (un)Official H2G2 Fantasy Cricket World Cup 2003

0 Conversations

Hello welcome to the H2G2 Fantasy Cricket World Cup.

Rules

As per the official BBC Fantasy World Cup Cricket Competition, except that managers pick a 15 player-squad for the duration of the tournament, from which an XI man team must be selected for each phase.

One other amendment to the rules is that players can select three players per ‘real-life’ participating nation as opposed to two in the official version.
