[Team Thread] The Stump Smashers - Season 2010

[Pranav]

IIRC, Akshay Sharma is not a wicketkeeper.

Other than that, you should open with a pure bat or a batting all-rounder. Not a bowling all-rounder.

Thanks Pranav

 

[Manly]

Haha. Opening with a bowling AR would be jokes.

 

[Simbazz]

Whats our WK called? I'm the worst manager ever!

Secondly, who'd you say should open? We've barely anyone.

It'd still be effective against your unruly lot.

Our WK is Akash00.

Secondly, who'd you say should open? We've barely anyone.

If you wan't me to pick a player from the bunch of 11 players that you've posted, I'll say Andrew Peters.

Though I'd prefer Iridium.

Pranav added 8 Minutes and 7 Seconds later...

I'd personally go with the following line-up:

1. Hedger_14 [Pure Bat]
2. Iridium [Pure Bat]
3. Pranav (VC) [Pure Bat]
4. AngryPixel [Pure Bat]
5. Akash00 [WK]
6. Akshay Sharma [Batting-AR] - B6
7. Zorax Doom [Bowling-AR] - B5
8. King Pietersen [Bowling-AR]/Covvy [Pure Bowl] - B4
9. Simbazz (C) [Pure Bowl] - B3
10. Dutchad [Pure Bowl] - B2
11. Mark [Pure Bowl] - B1

We should go with 6 bowlers as there is a bug in cricsim due to which a batsman also bowls a few overs if the team has only 5 genuine bowlers.

 

[Simbazz]

I'll see if Sohum can change my type tonight, if not, I'll likely go with that Pranav.

You are aware, we're not using cricsim right? We're using Sohum's.

 

[Pranav]

You are aware, we're not using cricsim right? We're using Sohum's.

I am. But I remember reading in one of the team threads that the bug is still there. Not sure who's team thread it was...

 

[Manly]

It was ours.

 

[Iridium]

I'll be keen to bat anywhere I'm needed. If you want me to open that's fine, I wouldn't mind one bit.

 

[Covvy]

Hopefully I get a go, but we'll win even without me!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I demand I open the batting.

 

[Simbazz]

Here's the team;

Simon Barrow (c)
Hedger
Pranav
Iridium
AngryPixel
Akash (WK)
Akshay Sharma
KP
Zorax
Dutchy
Mark

Covvy, you'll make it in Just not tomorrow.

 

[AngryPixel]

I hope that is just a line-up not a batting order. Wouldn't wanna see Simon opening the batting

 

[Iridium]

He mentioned something about changing his player type because we didn't have a proper opener. So he might be a batsmen now.

Woo! Can't wait for the games to start. I'll probably be asleep when they do start because of me being in NZ.

 

[Pranav]

The team looks good.
