New Zealand Premier League XIII

lol Northern will probably lose since none of us got into the finals :p
 
Possible Northern lineup:

1. Jamie How
2. Sachin Tendulkar
3. Hamish Marshall
4. Rahul Dravid
5. Kane Williamson
6. Scott Styris
7. Chris Harris
8. Harbhajan Singh
9. Tim Southee
10. Mohammad Amir
11. Muttiah Muralitharan
 
swap dravid and how around, because how always batted in the middle order for me and was pretty sucessful there.
 
I've actually got a way of working out which players have preformed the best (involving runs scored, average, and S/R for batting, and wickets taken, average, and E/R for bowling), but that line-up looks about right.
Morgan done pretty good, probably better than Dravid.
I wonder if Amir will return, after being ban from the Bay of Plenty Vikings mid-season?
 
After the playoffs there will probably be an an all-stars series.
I want to do something like Biggy does with the APL, but I don't want to copy how he does it.

Pretty much there will be three teams, Northern Region (AA, WW, BV), Central Region (HM, MM, WWz), and Southern Region (CC, OV).

I'll take the best squad from each region (100% based on performance), and each of the three teams will verse the other two once.

The playing XI's will just work the same as how they normally do, with six New Zealand players and five international players.

What are you guys thoughts on that idea???

I actually had something similar to that in mind for the APL (althought several other changes would have had to be made to set it up). Not three teams involved though, probably just two. I don't know how your teams balance out, but maybe some North Island v South Island action?
 
I didn't see Morgan because he was down the list. Yea he'd be in over Dravid.

There's only 2 South Island teams :p
 
I also wouldn't mind if you had your own All-stars series..would be fun to watch.

That was my initial thought, but there are only two South Island teams.
Not to mention they did both come first in their respective pools.
 
We only need 2 South Island teams;)

Watch out Otago, we're good front-runners this mob at home!

That Nick Beard's something special!

That Nick Beard's something special!

Out of all the bowlers who have bowled at least 50 overs, Nick Beard's got the best E/R. :laugh
 
That was great. The intention of going with 4 batsmen was to see which one would impress and who would fail. Needless to say Dilshan took this opportunity and finds himself in the starting XI instead of Amla.

Canterbury are a fantastic batting team, and they beat us in the final last time around, so the management and a few other players that were part of the team last time around are pretty pumped up. We have got a fantastic bowling lineup but we need Steyn to get this one big game now, he has been very disappointing this season.

Otago Volts:

Graeme Smith
Martin Guptill
Lou Vincent+
Tillakaretne Dilshan^
Mike Hussey
