You got it, I should get around to organising the others in-between finalising what the squad will look like, the exhibition match against the Qoalas that's coming up and all the shenanigans that comes from the qooty finals period.

Sorry, I'm still on holidays but there's always time for a Trumper.
When is our first match?

Alright, I've given you a week to settle in. Now that it's December and majority of the qooty teams are out of contention, that's means we can focus on the task at hand: Sweet's first Qricket season.
If you've been lucky enough to be chosen by the Fulmina LG to play alongside us, congrats! That either means we think you're a great poster, we think you can be a great poster or, at the very least, better than those who didn't get drafted at all (lol). You probably also have a few questions as to what this all means so here's a few answers.
Sweet is a city created by Mobbs because retirement gives you a lot of free time, y'know. Fulmina sits at the bottom of the city, kinda like how Portsea is considered part of Melbourne. Here's a map to show you what I mean:
The official name of the team is the Fulmina Qricket Club although nicknames I've seen used for the team include Rays and Stingers. This is because, while the LG did settle on a stingray for the logo, I want to see what nickname the team sticks to over the course of this inaugural season. Our main colour is Yellow while the secondary colours are Copper, Sky Blue and Navy in equal measure. Our home ground is called Fulmina Oval or Fulmina Recreation Reserve (here's a picture).
The LG consists of myself as captain, Gralin as vice-captain, and Tonga Bob, spudmaster, Dinsdale and Ocha905 as extra voices to settle arguments but mostly start them. As of the end of the draft, the team is set up as such: The Batters are spudmaster, Dinsdale, moginie, jackster83 and Van_Dyke. The Bowlers are Gralin, Ocha905, akkaps, Roonescape and HinkleysHeroes. The All-Rounders are Tonga Bob and KBLT while I'm the Wicket-Keeper. Now we get to the part I start making things up, like how my alt account is the Groundskeeper, the Qricket Coach is Slovenian race driver named Ðüмвfáçè, the Batting Coach is a female baseballer named Juniper Chubb and that the Bowling Coach is Romania's greatest seamer Pavel Florin (I guess Mobbs isn't the only one that has too much free time).
TL;DR The cricket season starts sometime in early January (you will be tagged again once the fixture is announced), we have a Warm-Up game on the General Discussion Board against the Qoalas sometime soon (you'll have to ask Wosh NICELY for more details), these are your new teammates and everyone who isn't a teammate is suddenly in trouble.
If you want to choose a playing number in the meantime, you can pick any number you want unless I tell you that you can't have it. At the moment the only numbers that are off limits are 13, 8, 17, 40 and π.

A Large Portion, Yes

Fulmina is in the singular position of being the size of a quite tiny town yet within the jurisdiction of Sweet Municipality. I actually dithered over it a bit at the time, should it be part of Sweet, or part of the Southern Meckons (a rural region surrounding Sweet which includes such illustrious towns as Tittybong).
Fulmina sports the oval, a bakery, and literally just one house. With top-tier sport coming to the Oval over the coming weeks, perhaps there will be an uptick in interest in the locality.
Definitely not last on the list, Fulmina is also host to the Cooney Valley Racecourse, Sweet's only racetrack.
Fulmina consists of two distinct sub-hamlets, that of Fulmina itself, where the oval, the racecourse and the bakery are situated, and the intersection known as Overbridge, from which Sweet can be accessed to the north, Fulmina to the south, and Tittybong to the west.
Fulmina was named after a period of time when a glitch in Minecraft was causing lightning strikes every time I loaded up the game. It's basically a root word for lightning in Italian.
Fun fact: In the past, a current Sweet FA qooty club was for a time examining acquiring Fulmina Oval for a training base.

If number 9 is available then that would be nice. Otherwise 44 then random.

I've been practicing my batting pretty hard in this qooty off season.
I've mostly been working on my high-fives
