I asked Big Ant. Human skill is the most important factor but assuming players have equal skill (not likely) then the team with the higest star rating should win. I think to ensure an even playing field in the next tournament only teams of similar ratings should be allowed regadless of whether the are international or not.

Does the star class of the teams make a difference in online play? Some players are sticking to the original County Class/IPL team rule and others are playing with International teams. Do the international teams have an advantage?

Yes, I came to the same conclusion myself. Going to try and find opponents in Australia and see if that helps.

League or tournament for me, I don't mind. I'd be Yorkshire (living in exile in Australia so not sure how time differences will work??)

Does anyone elase get this when playing online:

(1) When bowling bowler goes into slow motion when delivering the ball.
(2) When battingn there is a pause in the game after hitting the ball before I can see where the ball has gone and can start running.

Not sure if this is normal or just me. Graphics card is slightly below minimum recommended but game runs well with lower graphics settings.
