I don't like the allrounders rule. What if all the ARs are very active, but the pure bowlers/bat aren't? It isn't fair then.
And a team may choose a, say, Green wicket and play a lot of Medium bowling allrounders to add batting depth and bowling options. Or many ARs on a Dusty. Takes away a tactical option. I don't like it.
But meh, if Suren is fine with it then I guess I'd better start posting....
Totally agree. Also a team with more all rounders, such as the Blue Brigades, will have to constantly change their lineup from match to match, and their each of their all rounders will have a fear of missing about 50% of the matches-which isn't particularly fair for them if, as Zorax said, if their rightfully active or the team prefers to use them as a tactical option.
And regarding the team naming, while I have no issues with alliterations being used, I do think that the name of the Green Goblins could have been changed to something more reputable for us. Let's look at how Wikipedia defines goblines as:
"A goblin is an evil, crabby, or mischievous creature of folklore, often described as a grotesquely disfigured or gnome-like phantom, that may range in height from that of a dwarf to that of a human. They are attributed with various (sometimes conflicting) abilities, temperaments and appearances depending on the story and country of origin. In some cases goblins have been classified as constant annoying little creatures somewhat related with the celtic brownie."
While we may be mischievous and clever and all that, by no means are we "grotesquely disfigured", nor are we "the heights of dwarves". Surely we would could come up with a better title such as 'Generation "G"', or "GForce"(Nvidia pun intended), or "Generation GForce" (again, Nvidia pun intended), or obvously something better for such an outstanding team such as ours?
Just my two cents.
P.S: Just to ensure, but I suppose my stats have already been updated as I have requested?
