We could always do what happens with football, and a few of us start up national leagues, with a UICA style thing, transfers and the like. I was planning on doing one anyway, but if we have a few more people that do it, it would make more sense and be a lot more fun.
The T20 tournie seems a cool idea, but ODI would also be cool as TBI said.

Would you perhaps like to make a joint Cricket League? Any one else interested in a joint league?

I will start this sometime during this week if anybody is interested.

A problem with that is that I don't think there is enough interest for a whole pyramid. I'm currently in talks with two nations about joint leagues, if you're interested perhaps, whizz me a TG.
However, I'd be very interested in your idea

If there's not enough interest for a whole pyramid then I can just do a straight world cup but I was thinking 2-3 divisions with 4-6 national teams in each division - you wouldn't need many teams.

That sounds simply wonderful. I can't wait
Would it be like the RL-ODI pyramid, with whole competitons for the lower echelon, and individual matches for the higher one?

I for one would love to see the continuity but without the reliance on a single nation -- unavoidable with the Test series, given the scorination issues, but certainly not a good model for everything else.
Does the above mean that I'm going to start Test cricket again? Not soon, and it hinges on how my wife is doing (she just finished eight more cycles of chemotherapy and is struggling a bit). But I think I have my revised flowchart almost ready for the nuts and bolts of a new spreadsheet. In the meantime, the Babbage Cricket Federation wants T20 and ODI and a club series and whatever you all come up with.

I might also be able to help with the running of this, I believe xkorinate has a cricket scorinator in it though I don't know if its any good. MAybe electing a chairman like in football to run sometihng for a season/competition would be good as that would help to ensure continuity.
