Team Thread Nine Dragons: As active as an American truck driver

[BlitzBerg]

Haha. Thanks for the offer; I was planning to do these this Saturday.

The same is the case with me. For the most part, two of Abhishek Vasudevan, Svenke Ulberg, Rick Adams and Alexander McKenzie would make it to the final team. So those stats are what I am planning to concentrate on first.

 

[dancingmongoose]

I'm happy to compile them all for you guys, we dont have that big a squad so it shouldn't take too long. I'll just prioritise those players you've mentioned first

 

[themusketeer]

Hey Dragons, Wanna have a FC match on Your pitch ? and Please post the lineup for the T20 match.

 

[Varun]

Guys. Can't we play as many games as possible?

 

[IceAgeComing]

Hey Dragons, Wanna have a FC match on Your pitch ?

Of course, the more the merrier

Not counting the proposed Landslide game I'm proposing three more First Class games of which two are against NPC teams so are guaranteed to be played. Two of those I'll be going in with most of our strongest playing XI, I'm pretty sure that I've worked out how we should go. One of them I still want to experiment a bit, nothing drastic though. Here's what I think our strongest FC XI is, I'd be willing to take the advice of others into account.

Nick Agger
Aditya Jha
Blitzberg Steel
Misbah ul-Haq
Khurram Khan*
Varun Rustagi
Svenke Ulberg
Ern Shylock
Kai Winch
Rick Adams
Alexander McKenzie

*This is the spot that's still a little soft: everyone else is still a little set. The two non-playing all-rounders could easily slot in here depending on form and pitch conditions: although I'm not sure whether a fifth seamer or a third spinner could get a great deal of use, while Hogg could always come in for either me or VC if we have a shocking start to the year - although I dunno whether five full bowlers would be a slightly unbalanced side.

I'm also debating whether Varun should be down at six or moved up to five, that's something that I'd like to hear from others about.

 

[themusketeer]

Of course, the more the merrier

Post the lineup then.

 

[IceAgeComing]

Check me last post in the Matches thread

 

[themusketeer]

Check My last post in the matches thread too

 

[BlitzBerg]

That looks like our strongest XI. Khurram and Hogg shall be replaced with each other based on the pitch. Varun could be promoted up the order after we have a few matches and if found necessary.

 

[BlitzBerg]

Good to have some game on poor pitches. The batters could have done better but then again we neither had Khurram nor Misbah. I guess, we have a very good chance is going right till the end.

As for as the lineup is concerned, this looks like our strongest ones-

For flat tracks, I don't expect anyone after the 7th wicket to have any batting, for most matches.

Would appreciate some views as well.

[Aislabie]

For home FC matches, I think we may need to go with something like this:

Nick Agger
Jha / Latif / Vasudevan
Blitzberg Steel
Misbah ul-Haq
Varun Rustagi
Svenke Ulberg
Brad Hogg
Ern Shylock
Kai Winch
Rick Adams
Alexander McKenzie

It looks like five or six batsmen is more than enough on a flat track, but we'll need all the bowling we can get.

 

[IceAgeComing]

I'm starting to agree with you; especially since Hogg isn't exactly a terrible batsman (first class average over 30) and with Misbah in form we should be fine

 

[VC the slogger]

First-class and T20 as well.
