Hey team mates

Funknath added 6 Minutes and 3 Seconds later...

For the team I will change into a RF Bowler. I had one of my special skills as Middle Order Aggressor and as I am changing into a Pure Bowler I would like to change that skill to Wicket Taker. So my two skills now are Wicket Taker and Mysterious Variations.

It sounds like one of our players, Raj Parekh aka parekh is actually now banned from PlanetCricket. So...shall I go ahead and delist...will leave space for some proper active members and a fast bowler or two (ideally )

 

[Imager36]

With those two changes though, rhys, we have 4 seamers and 2 spinners in the squad, so 2 more seamers might be going a bit more back the other way

 

[w3lshrugby]

Say hello to two new recruits guys...

Cricketman - who becomes another quick bowler that I needed!
King Cricket - who completes our batting line up

Now our squad is looking the best of the lot. Six brilliant active pure batsmen to choose from - most of the time I'll play five of you, though maybe sometimes six in FC. (selection will be based on activity/form/rotation). One keeper - guaranteed a start every time. Two allrounders to choose from, one another spinner to complement my spin and the other a quick (this will depend on what we need from a game). Five bowlers to choose from - I may request one more spinner if I can just to provide some competition for me ...but the amount we currently have is absolutely fine! Most of the time I'll try and go in with one all rounder and four bowlers, in which case, one bowler misses out...but if the activity of the two ARs is low...then I may stretch the tail up to 7

Two questions for you, squad members:

1. Vice-captaincy...does anyone wanna nominate themselves/someone else for this crucial role ?
2. Pre season tour - to help test out the sim and also finally let some of you get some game time...where do you fancy travelling on a pre season tour?

Also...

3. Fast bowlers - does one of you who haven't changed since your sign up (so...Cricketman or SciD) fancy becoming a left armer, just to add some variety to our quick bowling lineup?

 

[Imager36]

Pre season tour to England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Holland?

 

[w3lshrugby]

Haha. I've now contacted AfridiRulez, Haris Khan and Syed Umar to try and get them involved. Hopefully at least one of them will regularly post...I get the feeling they may be our inactive three, though.

 

[SciD]

Sohum for VC.

 

[sohum]

I decline. I'm going to be too busy doing PCCL stuff to be also able to manage a team!

 

[sohum]

I'm just putting some finishing touches on the PCCL website and I have to say the Sharks logo looks a lot sexier than anyone else's!

 

[w3lshrugby]

Well, we are clearly the sexiest team out there!

 

[Insomniac]

I believe the Polar Bears in Antartica will give us stellar practice.

If all else fails, Madagascar.

 

[w3lshrugby]

Dare I whisper this...I've done a test using sohum's wonderful sim. Take a look

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

As CEO of The Lunar Sharks, I have been working my socks off this evening to plan our exciting preseason tour. I have organised fixtures in some very exotic locations - perfect for any of you who want to top up your tan whilst playing the game and preparing for a tough season ahead. I've organised a rather punishing tour with ten games (against varying levels of opposition) of a variety of different lengths, from 10 overs in a charity game to practice 50 over matches in readiness for the One Day Cup this year. As of yet, I have not organised any Multi-Day practice.

I hope you like the plan - I will endeavour to stick to it as much as possible. Get packing lads, our plane leaves in the morning!

 

[sohum]

Looking forward to the tour (and hopefully you have created a local copy of the PCCSDB outside Dropbox!)
