Cheers mate. And I am sure I can keep up my consistent form.

It will be interesting to see who is chosen as wicketkeeper.

Despite being quite inactive, Sid may be our only choice, and it looks like Embi and an offy will be opening the bowling, unless Radaga bowls, because we only have one bowler who bowls pace.

I think it would be a good idea opening with 2 spinners. I remember once that Warne opened the bowling with McGrath not too long ago.

It'll catch them off guard, that's for sure! But will the game even allow us to do it?

im not too sure, someone should probs check but it doesnt matter, because its the averages that count not the bowling type

 

[aussie_ben91]

I'm sure my already given bowling record from person I replaced (Afridi25) could come in handy :cool:

 

[rickyp]

lol, your right it probs will give you a bit of an advantage. Its annoying that I didnt know that would happen, it pretty much just means that because we want statistical accuracy we cant change squads till before or after seasons

Actually it is the type, I just checked it, and along with embi, wfdu_ben opens (average is 99) so with about 4 spinners we need someone to bowl pace this week or change type so we aren't stuck with someone who is poor

Glad to see that my decision to scrap my legspinning and concentrate on pace is good for the team...

 

[rickyp]

yeah looks like it!, we might need someone to convert from a batsmen even....

 

[brad352]

Well I'm good at everything of course

 

[Simbazz]

if it means ill play, ill surely change from spin to seam, im not much good at pace, but ill give it a go

You will play anyway I am sure, but if you have stopped talking about how good you are, I would be concerned. However, it will help us, otherwise a batsman, other than brad, needs to volunteer to be an all-rounder for a few matches, or even a pure bowler.

Just shows you how good our pace attack is with it going all at once though...

 

[Simbazz]

Like i say, ill convert to anything aslong as i get a game no worries, you tell me what i need to do, ill do it who knows it might be the start of a new Shoib Aktar or Brett Lee

 

[Skater]

Can I join the squad? I don't mind missing games. It will give you some depth! Please!

As long as you're a pace bowler. Thats the kind of depth we need, we got about 5 spinners and 2 pace bowlers.
Glad to see you've gone for the proper team, and not some kind of awful unprofessional outfit like the Pakistani 'Legends'

I'm presuming we have a decent record on dusty pitches then?
Whoops, just remembered cricsim can't specify dusty . Oh well, we would do well on dusty pitches.
