Before anything is set in stone Rhys remember to get Matt to finalize all the things that we've put so far. We don't want to have something the manager doesn't want.

Now that I have actual numbers to go on I've spent a few minutes simming a bunch of games to get the ideal teams. I played against an Australia team modified to have the PCPL averages.
So there will be three team lineups that will be based on the pitch we are playing on:
Excellent Pitch Team:
Giggity Giggity
M Hussey
Jaztheman
Storer11

I've tried to make sure everyone gets a game fairly frequently, but more importantly I've noticed a massive change in the score when using the right team for the right pitch (nearly 60 runs in some games).

Nice teams there Matt, Nice to see the top 3 in all the teams includes two of the top 3 in the donkeys team.
