ARMCHAIR CRICKET Control the destiny of your favourite game

The fantasy version allows for consumers to have control of the game and the destiny of their own team. It allows players to create their own unique team by choosing team members from a list of global cricketers. The player starts by creating a unique team name and is assigned a certain number of points. Using these points, the player can select individual cricketers from a global list available. Once the team and its members has been finalized, the ‘fantasy’ takes over – as cricket gets played in the real world, the cricketers chosen by the player are marked on their performance (by a computer algorithm) on their performance, and the points added up. The best selection of cricketers would lead to the best overall scores and hence the best fantasy player.

Players can make and manage as many teams as they like. Also, a player can make as many substitutions or changes in his team, if certain cricketers are not performing in their real life games. It also allows users to form their own leagues and compete with friends and family, which brings into play prolonged interaction. Top players are also eligible to win cash prizes, all based on the real skills of selecting cricketers that perform. Just log into www.fantasycricket.games2win.com
