Beijing Blitzers Team Thread for 2009- "From Beijing to North Pole,We are the best at cricket"

Yes if we would have had Spinksy in place of Watson, we would have got some extra wickets and won the match. Spinksy and Burnsy are too good in their bowling!

May be we can give a gamble without Watson? Well I know it's a risk, but have to think before deciding.

Also, since we had just played a match, we can play the Indian team at around 5:15 PM, Indian time. And Match 3 Vs India will be @ around 9.00 PM. Lets relax a bit and start preparing for next match. I know it's hard but we had to do it to climb to the top :hpraise

 

[Bibu07]

Considering the way we had our lineup(2 ar etc.) We did well against them. So we probably have a chance to beat everyone up to the spot.

@aamir: What makes you think Iam excited? But, yeah Iam.

 

[ansariaamir_leo]

@ Suren : Yes I say drop Watson and get Spinsky in. He's the leading wicket taker in the 3 practice matches we played so he'll make some difference. 5:15 is good enough

@ Bibu : I agree with you. We have the potential to be on top. Lets rock out everyone!!!

 

[surendar]

So some relaxation till 4:30 guys and then some net practicing... For next match Vs India,

Team XI Vs India, Match 2
Pitch : Normal

1. ansariaamir_leo
2. funknath
3. Vintners
4. Bibu07
5. lumb-yorkshire
6. Shalin hitter
7. Shane Watson
8. bladescape
9. Surendar
10. Burnsy1
11. Spinksy

In this, I have change in sim for me as a fast medium bowler(which i had requested due to already three existing leg spinners) and bladescape is LS pure bowler. So this should help us more in determining our strength.

Good luck, guys! In another 1 hr, match will begin...

Hi BB. Is there any chance of you being able to post your 2009 squad list again WITH player types included this time, as it is too vague to be able to enter into the database at the moment.

Thanks.

Sorry guys, mistake on my part, didn't see Suren's post at the bottom of the thread! Thanks

Its great to see this thread really active,especially given the fact that you were the underdogs some weeks ago.
All credit goes to Suren,the captain and all other active guys.
Good luck for your campaign this season.

 

[ansariaamir_leo]

No problem Rhys

@ Suren : Line-up looks good. Are we testing Watson here? Good that you changed the player types for testing purpose. Lets get warmed up

 

[Burnsy1]

yeah Watson deserved to be dropped, too expensive last match. Spinksy is also leading wicket taker in warm-up games so it's good he's back in. Hopefully I can take a few in this game. keep it up lads.

 

[w3lshrugby]

Now, as Captain of VV, I thought that I'd ought to warn you that we're absolutely going to destroy the Second Division this season!

Tough luck BB

We would be really sorry to shatter your dreams but we are gonna rule Division 2

@ Naresh : I agree with you. Its Suren's hardwork that has got the team going. He deserves to be captain and he showed it by leading from the front!! :hpraise

Thanks Naresh, Good luck to your team as well We are trying our best to be the best

No problem Rhys

Well, we will test with Koustubh then instead of Watson. This will make 5 specialist bowlers + 5 specialist batsman + 1 wicket keeper. ( No all rounders )

And welcome Burnsy to this team thread

haha, when we had made other team's captain's attention to this thread that time itself, our ambition of becoming no 1 is half filled already. After your last loss in BB vs VV, may be you could have sensed that fear Rhys.

Anyways, good luck to your team as well, Rhys. We will be knowing shortly who will be the best in their business. Our lads are loaded with promising confidence that I know that they will deliver it without fail

is Funknath a left hander ? if so this could make our opening partnership alot stronger with the bowlers changing lines.

Yes he is a left hander

Yeah, Funky is a left handed batsman. Also I have noticed in recent matches( in one of the practice matches and Vs MD), he got a boundary in his very first ball.. One was a SIX and other was a FOUR.

Considering his healthy strike rates, we may get a new RH/LH opening combination for BB.. who knows, lets see how he goes in next match Vs India

 

[ansariaamir_leo]

I hope I do well and we openers can deliver starts for the likes of Bibu to finish it...
Funky would be surprised to see so many posts in our thread
