Site Introduction

Site Introduction

This blog will be run to provide scorecards, match reports, and other information about a ficticious league I created using player cards for a couple of International Cricket extensions.
The extensions are The Mariner's Friends, The Boarding Party, and Alternative Ashes.
These sets all provide fictional players with cards but unknown stats, meaning I have no way of knowing what each player will produce.
Apart from a few obvious signs on the cards themselves which give me an idea as to the player's role in the team, I don't know what stats these players should achieve.
These players all have a short bio in each extension set giving some information on their various previous career achievements, so each has a bit of personality to me already, adding to the fun.
But the main point is the players will build up stats of their own and not be locked into any expectations like career cards for real life players..
This will be my own fictional cricket universe, in a similar vein to some baseball universes other's have created with baseball games similar to IC.
I may at some point create a draft using players from The New Faceless Ones set to add additional players as some established players age and retire or lose form, but I am sticking with carded players from the 3 previously mentioned sets for now.
To create some background for the league I will now post a short squad preview for each team before the leagues begin.
