Custom Teams

Because the game doesn't have the real teams I have taken it onto myself to provide them. Netscape users should download the 'zip' files. For help with installing either the normal team or the zipped teams, click
here.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ:
For a while now I have been re-creating these files so instead of being custom teams they overwrite the made up teams that come with the game. Check the Install Help Page for help with how to install these. You can delete your old custom files, or better yet, overwrite them with the other teams available here.
The test sides are now available as a stat.97 file! Simply download the teststat.97 file by clicking the link below and save it in your cricket directory renaming it to 'stat.97'. You should make a backup of your old stat.97 file containing the ODI teams so you can alternate between the two files as you please. A big thank you to Andrew Johnson for creating this file.
