It’s June and the Cricket season is here and as big fans LG have created a special Fantasy Cricket World Cup game to celebrate. As someone who’s never really gotten into Cricket, I’m using this as an opportunity to try and gain some insight into the rules/scoring system and as it’s based on the World Twenty20 Cricket tournament itself, LG’s game should be a good learning experience!
Using the tournament for it’s structure means the points part of the game will start after the first group stage match on Friday, 5th June, and will run through to the final match on 21st June 2009. However, you can sign up now to create your team ahead of the matches – you receive a ‘Fantasy Budget’ to create your own team of players from the tournament. Your team will then receive points based on the real life performance of your selected cricket players.
You can join the fun at any stage but until tomorrow afternoon there is an ‘amnesty’ where you can create your team with unlimited transfer opportunities – and also the added benefit of being registered for all of the games; ensuring the most point-scoring potential.

The game is free to play and there are great prizes up for grabs for the highest scoring managers, including Arena KM900 handsets and the top prize of a 42” LG HD TV – the LF7700!
AND if you register today you will be also be entered into a prize draw to be in with the chance of winning a pair of tickets to a Twenty20 World Cup match!
Also, while every team is automatically entered into the ‘World League’, you can also enter your team into a private mini-league for competing with your friends, you’ll have to provide you’re own prizes for that league though!
If you’re joining in good luck! – But if Cricket confuses you as much as me, you might have better luck checking out our other competitions!
