The Downright Donkeys 06/07 Team Thread

[GrayNicolls]

Well, I don't know. But, we are too batsman-heavy! I will change to a pure bowler, then...

OK, I'm now a pure legspin bowler to help our team's cause!

So, now, in my opinion, our team is perfect. Because, don't forget, we need some inactives so we all have a chance to play. This is a perfect number of actives now.

 

[BigCrickNan]

am i definately in the squad for next season then???

Yep check page 11 where everything is updated. Is Jaz on yet, what is his playing role?

 

[GrayNicolls]

He's a batting all-rounder, I think. And Drewska, can you edit the list so that I am a RHB and Pure Right Arm leg Break bowler.

Cheers.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

That's great GN, taking one for the team!
As for bowlers, dtrain is a great prospect. But if we keep BF, Colin and Pal, that's a fine seam attack there.

 

[GrayNicolls]

Yes, our three-pronged legspin attack should really rip through some line-ups this season.

Here is a predicted team, anyway. The decision is down to Drew at the end of the day.

1. Timofy- RHB
2. tassietiger- RHB
3. hxcrocker- RHB
4. Leicester Fox- RHB/Right Arm Medium
5. Plympilgrim- RHB/Keeper
6. madmick69- RHB/Right Arm Off Spin
7. ZoraxDoom- RHB/Right Arm Leg Break
8. Drewska- RHB/Right Arm Leg break
9. GrayNicolls- Right Arm Leg Break
10. pal- Right Arm Fast
11. Burma's Finest/barmyarmy- Right Arm Fast


That look good?

 

[Leicester Fox]

Looks great as i'm playing!

 

[plympilgrim]

nice to be in a 5, i am williung to bat anywhere for the team

 

[BigCrickNan]

Ye alright we're taking just about anyone at the moment.

tassietiger Pure RHB
Drewska Bowling Pure Bowler RBH/Right Arm Pace
ZoraxDoom Bowling All-rounder RHB/Right Arm Leg Break
Burma's Finest Pure Bowler RHB/Pace
barmyarmy Pure Bowler RHB/Pace
pal Pure Bowler RHB/Pace
Timofy Pure Batsman RHB
madmick69 All-Rounder RHB/Spin
Leicester Batting All-Rounder RBH/Pace
hxcrocker Pure Batsman RHB
Plympilgrim Wicketkeeper/Batsman RHB
Jaztheman Batting All-Rounder RHB/Pace
Jimbob Pure Bowler RHB/Spin
GrayNicolls Pure Bowler RBH/Right Arm Leg-Break

Green = Fixed
Bold = Need replacing

Updated list. I'm not a leggie anymore

 

[GrayNicolls]

Also, we need some all-rounders (preferrably batting-allrounders) to just become pure batsmen.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

So, ideally, our first XI will be:

Tassie
Foxy
Plympilgrim
Timofy
Hxcrocker
Jaztheman
Me
GN
Drewsky
Barmyarmy
Pal

4 bowlers, 1 bowling allrounder, 2 batting allrounders, 4 bats. Seems good.

 

[Leicester Fox]

I'd become a batsmen. My bowling for the noobs was abysmal. and you never know i may come on and do a ricky ponting like in '05 to Vaughan!

 

[GrayNicolls]

That sounds good. 7 bowlers is a bit too much, so 6 is fine.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

So 4 bowlers, a bowling allrounder, a batting allrounder, and the rest are bats. Seems perfect to me. And 2 legspinners, 3 pacemen, and a medium-pacer. Great
Now, about that reversed batting order...

 

[BigCrickNan]

Team looks good everyone. I think we could do with a more competent number 7 though

I think we could use a better skipper, but you don't see me complaining...
Makes no difference anyhow, we all know we are gonna lose anyways
