Got a team list for Scotland?

If so, I might feel inspired enough to sim a game against them.

I'd recommend the following:

D.R.Lockhart pure RHB
F.D.Watts pure RHB
J.A.Beukes pure LHB
R.R.Watson RHB RFM BatAR
C.V.English pure RHB
C.J.O.Smith+ RHB WK
C.M.Wright* RFM RFM BowlAR
Yasir Arafat pure RFM
P.J.C.Hoffman pure RFM
G.I.Maiden pure OS
J.G.Williamson pure RFM


A couple of things I forgot to mention in my profile from earlier. I can bowl a maximum spell of 5 overs after which time I will require a cigarette, a shower and a good massage. I assume we have some specialist fielders kicking around somewhere to fill in. Give my 15/20 mins and I'll be right as rain for another spell

Are we going to follow a same basic team? Like open with the same people and have the same main bowlers and just mess around with the middle order? Or is there going to be a different line-up for every match?

Different every match I reckon.

Also, Colin has just told me that I missed Eddie off the team list. As he wasn't the last to join or anything, I was just wondering if anyone here is interested in transferring to the PC Rockers, because I'd have 16 players otherwise. You can still fix matches from there if you are a truly passionate Donkey.

Also, I'll get onto that Scotland game as soon as I can.

Don't worry about that maximum of 5 overs, we'll send you off long before that. And yes, our specialist stocks are high so you can leave the field and suck on a kool mint or two.

hey tassie i guess because i was the last one in then i should be the one to transfer. :crying

if you can arrange it with the other manager then I'll go although i see they don't want any more bowlers :crying

don't blame me though when i bowl you all out!

p.s. transfer me back as soon as possible, I'm a donkey at heart.

 

[tassietiger]

lol ok thanks for that pd, you are welcome to throw matches for them if you like

 

[pdathert]

are you sorting out the transfer? I don't want to end up on the dole.

 

[tassietiger]

Yeah Karachi was hoping you might change to a batsman or a batting all-rounder, because that is what they need.

no place for a quality leg spinner like myself??

 

[pdathert]

tassie, you need to take me out your team now!

thanks for the memories, with me in the squad you played 1 won 1

100% record.

Not in the Scotland squad anyway...

 

[jimbob]

youve lost me ehy have we gt a scotland squad

 

[Bilal91]

tassietiger, wanna play us in a practice oneday and/or a test match???

 

[barmyarmy]

youve lost me ehy have we gt a scotland squad

We're playing a practice match against them (see the practice match thread) and tassie asked me to post the Scotland squad so he could input it into the sim. Hence the squad posted didn't contain you cos you don't play for Scotland.

 

[tassietiger]

Team for a limited overs match against the Pakistani Legends (see their practice match thread once it starts). If we lose, heads will roll (along with bodies, as they will laugh themselves stupid if they manage to upset this brilliant mob)

1 WCC_Bowler
2 tassietiger
3 lazy_chesnut
4 Gilchrist
5 David Ager
6 Dhruv Deepak
7 Steve Moore
8 Drewska
9 Jimbob
10 Eddie
11 barmyarmy

Nobody has missed two games yet, and only three players (Gilchrist, Ager, and Deepak) have played all three. Brilliant man-management if I may say so myself.

lazy_chesnut, you can stay a keeper as I've found out they have the same average as pure batsmen and really there is no reason why any of our pure batsmen shouldn't be keepers.

 

[barmyarmy]

We're playing two matches simultaneously?

We're playing two matches simultaneously?

How's that possible,are you sending squads for 8 and 7 for each game ?
