Jager Bombers - "It seemed like a good idea at the time!"

[Dutchmen]

Well, I have not been active for some reasons. I make sure, I visit the site everyday.

And good way to start the tournament.

 

[barmyarmy]

I'd say 4 specialist bowlers, 1 keeper and 6 specialist bats would probably be the way to go really, on an excellent FC pitch

Doesn't the sim make batters bowl and go at 10 rpo or something stupid or is that just in OD where you have to have 6 bowlers for some reason...

 

[Iridium]

BTW when will the stats be put up Iridium?

Not in a hurry to do it since it's only been one game. Maybe later tonight.

 

[CG123]

Yeah, we'll have to play at least five recognized bowlers because of cricksim.

This is what I have atm:

1. hedger_14
2. Iridium + (Probably go down the order)
3. Chewie *
4. Pranav
5. Aussie Team
6. Zohaib/Barney Gumble (Probably swap with Iridium)
7. Dipak
8. The Rock™/tarun87
9. CG123/tarun87
10. riz7khan12
11. Haarithan

Need your thoughts on 6 and 8/9.

1. Do we want the extra batting instead of Zohaib bowling?

2. I'm happy to miss out for tarun87 because it's an excellent pitch, or shall we play tarun instead of The Rock?

Also for the bonus points from our first match, shall we go ahead with Riz and Haarithan?

 

[hedger_14]

Yeah, I think we play Barney at the top of the order and drop Iridium down to #6. Looking at the results so far, I could see a whole lot of runs so maybe play tarun rather than The Rock.

Just my suggestions. So I'd be going with.

1. hedger_14
2. Barney Gumble
3. Chewie (c)
4. Pranav
5. Aussie Team
6. Iridium (wk)
7. Dipak
8. tarun87
9. CG123
10. riz7khan12
11. Haarithan

 

[Iridium]

Yea, drop me down the order in FC games. I don't mind opening in OD but better to have to down a bit in FC.

Hedger's lineup is pretty much what I'd go for.

 

[The Rock]

Wont mind missing this game. Let everyone get a game.

----------

Wont mind to play either.

 

[Chewie]

I'd want to give some of the people who didn't play in the OD a shot

That's normally just in OD matches, but I haven't done any simming of FC matches with the sim so I'm not sure

Just like me.

Would you prefer to play in this FC game, or our second OD game?

It's really just Tarun (and Barney), the other three who missed out in our first match haven't shown much activity. Dutchmen did make an appearance just before though.

----------

I'm thinking we do bring Barney in for Zohaib, because Zohaib is going to be more important in our OD games where we need a sixth bowler, and it's probably better that we just play five bowlers here so we can get more overs out of our main bowlers, considering it's an excellent pitch.

 

[Sartaj]

Callum,you don't want to do a Ganguly by chickening out because of the pitch not assisting you.

 

[CG123]

Callum,you don't want to do a Ganguly by chickening out because of the pitch not assisting you.

It's more the fact that it seems to be me selecting our playing XI, so I want to show others that I'll be rotating myself as well as others, so no one complains when they don't play.



This is what we're going with atm:

1. hedger_14
2. Barney Gumble
3. Chewie *
4. Pranav
5. Aussie Team
6. Iridium +
7. Dipak
8. The Rock?/CG123
9. tarun87
10. riz7khan12
11. Haarithan

 

[Sartaj]

That sounds like an excuse to me.

 

[Iridium]

I reckon you should play, Callum. It's always good to have a spinner in the lineup even though the pitch may not be conducive to spin bowling.

Updated stats after the first game. Not really necessary (since it's only been on game) but I suppose it saves you having to trawl through the pages of the match thread.

 

[CG123]

Dipak's also a leggie.

 

[Iridium]

I keep thinking that he's a medium pace bowler
