Post Line-ups Legends At Battle XII | Pre-season - Ready for action?

Will Bouchers wicket-keeping credentials increase his rating with the bat?

His rating with the bat remains more or less the same but your bowlers' rating will improve with him keeping wickets.

Looks like the West Indies manager won't be able to continue. I'll pass over the baton to Samuels. We now have all our managers for Season V confirmed. Managers can appoint co-managers for their team if they want to.

Nayan Mongia wouldn't deserve a place IMO!!

I agree, but was struggling to find a wicketkeeper who could bat well (after Dhoni of course)

Farokh Engineer? He's a much better batsman than Mongia anyday.

Yes indeed.

If you'd like more suggestions:
Dilip Vengsarkar - Vinod Kambli

Didn't really know about him. I am definitely replacing Mongia with Farokh Engineer

I just came to know that Freddie got some serious injury while boxing and hence won't be able to join EnglishLAB squad. So Wilfred Rhodes will replace him.

Oh and get well soon Freddie :P

For those who have any problem with Sir Walcott as keeper, let me tell you that he kept wickets all his domestic career (before making international debut) and even played for the role for the national team for the first four years of his career. As the likes of Sangakkara are allowed as specialists, there shouldn't really be any problem with Sir Walcott keeping wickets as he did in his hey days.

Gordon Greenidge
Sir Conrad Hunte
Chris Gayle
George Headley
Sir Vivian Richards
Brian Lara
Sir Everton Weekes
Clive Lloyd


Sir Clyde Walcott
Jeff Dujon


Sir Garry Sobers
Malcolm Marshall


Curtly Ambrose
Michael Holding
Courtney Walsh
Joel Garner
Lance Gibbs
Sonny Ramadhin​

No problem with that. Walcott has been West Indies' genuine keeper ever since this league started.
