New poll suggestions too please.

Barney Gumble vs Ryan ten Doeschate vs Barack Obama vs Dwayne Leverock?
(Not sure who the Penguins' star player is)

 

[Varun]

(Not sure who the Penguins' star player is)

He is another one of those Chuck Norris imitators.

 

[Chewie]

They're just going to rig that poll...

 

[Aussie Team]

This is it! Probably this looks better.

 

[CG123]

That looks great.

You can't rig a poll if it's public and you can see names. I'll leave Barney off the poll as it is your thread!

Awesome kits Aussie. They look cool

----------

could someone find a site of face-models. We'll all be assigned a face and then we'll add our team's official kit to it and we'll use it as our avatars. could we do that?

Kit's will be fine imo. Don't know anyone who could be bothered making 18 faces anyway.

Kits look great btw

I've been in contact with some Auckland players, and they've offered to play a few "unofficial" friendlies with us.

I've paired up everyone with either a similar PC member or a similar Auckland player, and before the start of each friendly each person in each pair will be randomly allocated to one of the teams.

Just to reiterate that, it's not one side verses the other, you'll have a different team in each of the matches. This will allow us to work with everyone, and not just ten other people if we were split into two teams.

If Dan signs up/when we draft players our final three/four players, they can just replace an Auckland player who has a similar role to them.

The matches will be 35 overs which is what the real PCNL one-day competition will be, and I'll just sim them until the real matches start. The first match will hopefully be tomorrow (NZ time), and we'll probably play one match a day after that.

Here's what the match-ups are, obviously the only person you won't be able to be on the same team as is the person you're paired with.

1. hedger_14 vs Pranav (Opening batsmen)
2. Tim McIntosh vs Jeet Raval (Opening batsmen)
3. Chewie vs Prats (Batsmen)
4. Aussie Team vs Anaru Kitchen (Batsmen)
5. Zohaib vs Shagger (Batting all-rounders)
6. Iridium vs Gareth Hopkins (Keepers)
7. Dipak vs Colin de Grandhomme (Genuine all-rounders)
8. The Rock? vs Kyle Mills (Bowling all-rounders)
9. CG123 vs Roneel Hira (Spin bowlers)
10. tarun87 vs Daryl Tuffey (Pace bowlers)
11. riz7khan12 vs Haarithan (Pace bowlers)

Martin Guptill, Lou Vincent and Andre Adams were all unavailable due to English county commitments, and Chris Martin didn't feel like playing.

 

[Iridium]

Chris Martin didn't feel like playing.

The team with Martin on it would have an unfair advantage due to his immense batting skill.

 

[CG123]

I know, he couldn't fit in because we only needed one Auckland pace bowler (two if you count Mills), and I went with Tuffey, so I just said he didn't feel like playing.

 

[Iridium]

That is true sportsmanship.

 

[Aussie Team]

Here the jerseys And the members who haven't told their jersey numbers haven't been done.

 

[Iridium]

Cool, I'll use those for the stats box.
