Beijing Blitzers Team Thread Season 3- From Beijing to North Pole, we are the best at cricket

[Pranav]

Swap Binnu and Funknath. (Funknath has done a great job while opening the innings)

Hang on. Something messed up in my previous post. It should be,

1. Romesh Kaluwithrana ( WK )
2. Dean Jones
3. Pranav Pathak
4. Shalin Hitter
5. Funknath
6. Giggity Giggity
7. John Bracewell
8. Manee
9. Bladescape
10. Shantanu_Rooney
11. Surendar

This is going to be the next match's line up. Binnu given rest for this match. Funknath needs to be 4 or 5 because, our lower-middle & lower order is just poor without support. So someone has to take the control.

 

[Funknath]

Yeah the middle order needs some support.

 

[Pranav]

It looks a very strong line-up to me.

 

[surendar]

Now, it's time to discuss the line up for the semis.

 

[shantanu_rooney]

Same lineup for me...

 

[Funknath]

1. Romesh Kaluwithrana ( WK )
2. Shalin Hitter
3. Pranav Pathak
4. Funknath
5. Dean Jones
6. Giggity Giggity
7. John Bracewell
8. Manee
9. Bladescape
10. Shantanu_Rooney
11. Surendar

IMO.

 

[surendar]

No Funky! If Dean Jones is in team XI, definitely he is going to open with Kalu. They should be able to score fast.

What about Binnu? Is he going to be rested again in semis? i.e. are we going to go with international keeper? Not a bad idea, but Binnu has been one among the most active here. :o

 

[Pranav]

I'd say we go with the previous line-up. We just can't alter the winning combination.

Yes. Only thing which we are lacking is one bowling quota. In the match before previous, Shalin bowled 2 overs and gave 24 runs. In last match, Manee despite being a specialist bowler gave away 26 runs in 2 overs.

We need one strong bowler to fit that gap. Who will be the better option? Shastri? NP? Manee? or someone?

We are sorry Binnu. To fit one extra bowler & to open with two NATs, you need to continue to rest for semis too.

 

[Prithvi]

No probs bro... I feels its better to watch the match from dug out because I can have interviews from Archana Vijaya:banana2
BTW, Line up looks better without me IMO
And I recommend one change.
Send Kieron to no.7
He just bats like Kieron Pollard in CS09..

I'd go with Manee.

1. Dean Jones

6. Giggity Giggity

This would be our semis line up then. We have done all our hard works till now. So lets join up together and put up a united & dominating show in semis. Lets roll on guys.

Rumors say that, Mandira Bedi is going to interview Binnu in the dressing room when we play the semis.

 

[shantanu_rooney]

Go for Np10 instead of Manee. He can bat also..

 

[surendar]

What is NP's bowling average & Manee's bowling average? NP did bowl good in past, but we have to make sure that what we decide is what is required for us.
