OD Match Thread Round 1, Match 3 - Landscape v Nine Dragons

[VC the slogger]

Match venue

Hagley Oval, Christchurch.


Pitch

The match will be played on a bouncy wicket. The ball should carry through quite nicely to the wicket-keeper, benefiting both batsmen and fast bowlers.


Lineup rules & guidelines

- No more than two star players per XI.
- A capable wicket-keeper (/) must feature in the XI.
- Try marking 6 bowlers in your XI, so a non-bowler doesn't come on and potentially cost you the match.
- The country flags on this forum look pretty. Try using them while posting your lineups if possible.

[dancingmongoose]

I led our preseason wicket taking, hopefully I can do the job again today

 

[IceAgeComing]

I had a better average and strike rate than you

If Misbah carries on his form from the pre-season then I'm sure we'll be fine!

 

[Gaurav_7]

This will be a cracking match, hopefully I can keep the momentum going with Landscape winning here.
