yeah as i said i was only going to rest him for one game and put him back in straight away, but my computer stuffed up and i couldn't change the team for the next game.

would've definitely put Gilchrist in, because I'm trying to make sure nobody misses two games in a row.

 

[jimbob]

i think that you should play the best team according to the team we are playing and the pitch.

 

[indiancricketer]

yeah i agree with you their Jimbob...depending on the pitch we should put that many fast bowlers and batsmen , spinners etc

 

[Gilchrist]

And, if I remember, I scored 84, off a poor pitch, and was man of the match. That was my last innings. :

 

[tassietiger]

It's been drawn to my attention that some people don't know when our next game is. I am also one of them.

I've had a glance at the draw and have decided we can squeeze in another practice match, so I'm going to have a series against the "Invincibles", which will be a team of the greats of the game (I'll give them averages of 100 for batting and 15 for bowling). I hope that this can decide who stands up when it counts in our team. Their captain will be one of Ronnie Irani, Nathan Hauritz and any other absolutely terrible player that you could think of.

To decide who will be in this fantastic team, I am open to suggestions on who is "good" enough to play with the likes of Brendon Julian and co. (note: these players are not supposed to be good. The above writing is sarcastic)

Suggestions:

Shane Lee
Dinesh Mongia
Khaled Mahmud

Yep they're all in, I'm even tempted to clone Shane Lee lol.

 

[rickyp]

yeah your gonna need at least 10 shane lees to be competative. Any thoughts on putting nathan hauritz in a few times aswell?

Good one!

Also try Imran Nazir, and Tinu Yohannan!

 

[Cheeze]

We gonna play a practice game anytime soon? Wait any longer and it'll be next year.

 

[tassietiger]

Sorry I can't do the practice game now, if anyone else wants to do it they can, because I'm going on holiday until the 4th of Jan (I think). This is the list of how many games each player has played, and as you'll notice, four players in particular have been neglected and will have to play our next game whenever it comes up.

Everyone who has been dropped for this one, don't whinge you selfish *******s, you've played every game so far

 

[Cheeze]

I'll do it. You want me to attempt to squeeze in a few more games?

 

[Cheeze]

You are aware that those games have already been played and you got man of the match 3 times. You still plan on changing clubs?

 

[Gilchrist]

Yep, and what if I was playing in the pre-season tournament?

Anyway, I can't wait for our first 5-day game to start.
