  1. when you want to do no harmony
  2. Representing just one nation seems a bit bulgar
  3. This seems to have fallen by the wayside. Is there any interest in this? It would be good to get something going even if a microteam
  4. Let me guess, her sidekick is a guy called Gav Iscon
  5. for those of you who don't understand the table: Matches, Wins, Losses, Points, Net Run Rate NRR is the best measure of the level at which a team wins. Win big, your NRR goes up, lose, it goes down, scrape a victory nothing much changes. It's a great leveller. Keep an eye on it! Also #COYB

  7. Most of the franchise teams globally are owned by the IPL and the Indian market is certainly flexing its financial muscle. My only issues with IPL is that it's a private company so not beholden to any national board nor potentially to ICC. They restrict what commentators can say vis a vis the way the games are managed or run... but the commentators are paid enough they just shout "Sixer" or "oh what a catch" at appropriate moments. That is a problem that might come rolling down a future road but cricket in the USA is the 2nd last market to crack. Once the USA is fully on board and China starts to understand how amazing it can be... 😉 I was pleased to see GT fail to make it 4 in 4 on the weekend. I'm no fan of CSK - frankly I find it difficult to get behind franchise team when I have no skin in the game but I do follow all my local teams
  8. This thread is to celebrate the greatest game on the planet. YMMVBYBW 😉 But in the spirit of TYDKYDK - Cricket is going global with the creation of yet another T20 Franchise - this one based in the USA https://www.majorleaguecricket.com/ In the rest of the world, most eyes are focused on England cricket: We are in mid-Blast territory (Go Bears!) and the County Championship is in full swing too. As I write the first day of the first test of the summer has ended with England in the ascendency at Lords, playing Ireland in their first test at the Home of Cricket. This isn't unexpected but for Ireland it's an historic event only recently having been elevated to a full Test playing member nation. So it's a big deal for them despite the fact that many Irish players play in the English county set up and our one day side was, until recently captained to its highest success by a man born in Dublin. But in a couple of weeks we celebrate the biggest series of them all: The Ashes - England vs Australia and this series promises to be something exceptional: 5 tests over 2 months; up to 25 full days of cricket (A test match can last up to 5 whole days) and one of the oldest sporting rivalries in human history. The difference this year is "Bazball" a way England have developed with seeming care and abandon, just playing for fun but seems to be bringing dividends and in the last year since its inception has been bringing great results against almost all comers. Then domestically we'll have the conclusion of the Blast (the annual T20 competition) followed by... The Hundred - a unique form of the game that is garnering new support every year. With those out of the way we'll see the conclusion of the County Championship (which is the long form domestic competition) followed by the Royal London One Day Cup - a domestic one day series - and once the Ashes is decided we'll be following some ODIs and T20s between England and Oz. Strap in - it's gonna be a great summer and I'm excited for it. I'm genuinely looking forward to this ML series in the USA - some international stars are going to be in the mix - so let's pick our teams now and we can see where they come out. Cricket isn't the most readily accessible sport for the novice or newbie so I urge and encourage you to post your questions here: There are no bad questions - I will answer as best I can. 3... 2... 1... Blast Off! HOWZATT! (PS : Note to Devs, can we get a cricket bat as a weapon and pads as a costume item please?)
  9. TL;DR Icarus did it. In other news, NCSoft won't negotiate because EGO demands it
  10. OP is going to struggle to get out of the zone he's in until he first finds a map and dictionary
  11. it's obvious we need to retrain and raise the tenor of this conversation
  12. fun fact: All the cars in Paragon are pedal powered. There are no filling stations there. And you can't drive to Pocket D
  13. I have some time today so I'm hoping we can get this started today. If you're interested, let me know here, or in game my global is @Riff if I'm not on Climate of Fear in the starting zone! Everyone welcome whether or not you're intending to be a part of this project
  14. I have an elec/kin tank that I love - was my 2nd tank to 50 and the only one I farm with. Works very well Perhaps that's a contender for this thread
  15. If it's called an OCTOpus, why does it have TENtacles?
  16. hoisted by your own snarktard 🤔😝🤣
  17. Yeah this sounds more like a bug than design flaw. I've borked respecs in the past and not lost them. Fun fact: If you do a respec and then have a nice cup of tea you can be Aretha Franklin
  18. Ahhhhhh, Tsoo Sorry, hay fever season again
  19. I set my UI up using the following: /Optionsave /Bindsave /Wdwsave /Chatsave When I create a new character I do /Optionload /Bindload /Wdwload /Chatload That way, I always have consistency in my game play and appearance - I don't need to worry about controls, binds etc. If anything ever goes worng with my UI (which happens more frequently than I'd like to admit) a quick /wdwload fixes it right away If I decide that I want to change things up - for example I want to put a new channel in a particular chat window I do it then make the save and then load on new characters whenever I need to.
  20. I am grateful for the level of seriousness and dedication you've brought to my previous comments. Your responses have been enlightening. Thank you for your input.
  21. I almost came just reading this. Srsly
