WIN STARS. COLLECT TROPHIES. BECOME A SPORTING LEGEND.
the one where … Sven just won’t quit!
OK … so we get this won’t be for everyone, but if S.I. works for you it’s because OF THE narrative drama and memorable moments. The following is the ACCOUNT of the first ever game played (with the finalised rules of S.I)… and it was a humdinger!
cc
CC was the star of the academy and despite a slow start, had a fantastic first season in ICA cricket. He became England test captain, then scored 19 off-5 balls to win the ICA Test Series. This was followed up with the County title, the 20/20 cup, and a new W.R. for the fastest ever 100 in 20/20 history! He then won the ICA World Cup, hitting 18 off 6-balls (winning on the final ball despite losing 2-wickets!). CC finished the season on 2 trophies and 17 stars.
Celebrations were short-lived though as he ended up brassic and struggling to pay bills at the end of the season.
Sven
Sven meanwhile started football well with a big transfer to the league leaders and then won the IFA Champions Cup with a decisive penalty! He also won the IFA World Player of the Year Award, but was left heartbroken as he missed the final kick in the World Cup final, ending the season with 1 trophy and just 5 stars!
The misery was compounded when he crashed his new sports car at the end of the season, and ended up in hospital!
CC
CC took some time-out to help combat VAWG, before bills ate into his winnings. However he quickly USED AN opportunity to enter Golf. A good season followed with wins at the IGT Florida Open, the Irish Open and Spanish Open. He also got two holes-in-one on the final 2 holes to win the IGT British Open, and despite disappointment in his hometown event and a narrow loss at the IGT American Open, he ended the season having met his requirements in quick-time (3 trophies and 20 stars), or so it seemed…

Poor Sven, meanwhile, had been stuck in hospital for several turns before paying to get out, then successfully won a legal dispute with his agent. His sports documentary, chronicling his return from injury was a hit – only for scar tissue to send him back to hospital! He again paid for treatment, and a quick Barbados training camp got him ready for a new season of cricket…but at this point he was trailing by 2 trophies and 15 stars…
CC
CC’s hopes of a quick-fire win were dashed at the end of his golf season when an ex sold stories about him to the tabloids – meaning he completed the year 1 star short (after a quick recovery from a hospital visit). However a trophy hunter card gave him a second shot at Golf…
sven
Sven got off to a rocky start in cricket after a golden duck on his debut, but strong Test performances won him the national captaincy, and he looked on course to win the ICA Test Series trophy from CC. but needing only 2 from the final ball, CC rolled a 1 to take the wicket and defend his trophy! Sven bounced back to win the County Championship, then smashed 20 from 4-balls to win the ICA World Cup from CC, levelling them up at 2 trophies each, and trailing by just 4 stars (15 to 19).
cc
CC, looking for the few points needed to win, started well in golf with wins in Florida and California, but then after losing his hometown event for the second time, began sulking. This gave Sven the chance to use his ‘Cry Me A River’ joker card, and this ended CC’s season with a trip instead to confidence crisis!
sven
Having unexpectedly praised CC IN THE MEDIA, prior to his joker sabotage, Sven then got his own chance to enter golf. The early season showed promise with wins in Florida and California, and he was racing towards the British Open, knowing that it would be the only way to prevent CC’s victory…
cc
CC meanwhile had paid to get out of confidence crisis and was inducted into the Hall of Fame, followed by success in Vegas. This put him back above his star (and trophy) target, and sprinting towards the finish line.
CC had a chance to win it by rolling a 6 before Sven could challenge him in the British Open, but landed on M/B, one space short. Fears of a damaging break were alleviated, when Hollywood decided to make a major biopic, and the game would be won on the next turn unless…
sven
Sven entered the IGT British Open with it all on the line, and won a cagey battle! “Paging Dr. Chipinski!” This took CC’s golf trophy and suddenly left him short on trophies, with Sven now leading 3-1 and with his star targets met…could HE win an epic comeback?!
sVEN
A poor second half of the golf season saw no victories, and the loss at the American Open knocked Sven back below his star target. He was unable to pickup more stars before the end of the year, and finished 2 agonising stars short, but leading for the first time in the game!
cc
CC ended up in confidence crisis following the shock of his victory denial, but a training camp in Portugal inspired him to go back to golf for a third time – seeking to finish the job!
Looking in top condition, CC took tour wins in California, Italy, Ireland and Spain. His conditioning boost helped him to further major trophy triumph as he won back the British Open (2-2) and then finally won the IGT American Open (3-1) to leave Sven staring down the barrel of defeat again.
sven
Sven meanwhile had to get stars and fast, so after a French Alps training camp he went back to football for a second time. A last-minute winner in the Cup final had him gearing up fOR the Champions Cup, AND with what would be his final turn, HE SCORED a lethal penalty TO LIFT THE TROPHY for a second time (and finish above target on 2 trophies and 24 stars)….BUT…
CC
Having finished his glorious golf season (on 37 stars and 3 trophies), CC picked up a private jet at the end of the season, and stopped off in Barbados on his way to the end of year…
This time he crossed the line without any last-minute drama, picking up the Champions Trophy to go along with an epic career…but Sven just NEVER GAVE UP …
