The Dublin Destroyers - We have the luck of the Irish and the cash of the Mafia

[barmyarmy]

Just doing the averages now. Chris Gayle is top of both the batting and bowling averages! Who says that all rounders are rubbish in cricsim?
Seeing a very batsman-dominated tournament so far though.

 

[barmyarmy]

Here's the team I'm considering for Chennai away (pitch dependent):

MS Dhoni - WKB
Leicester Fox - Pure Batsman RHB
Chris Gayle - Batting AR
Simbazz- Pure Batsman RHB (VC)
ursonly11 - Pure Batsman RHB
Andrew Flintoff - Bowling AR
metallics2006 - Pure Batsman RHB
biggy09 - Pure Bowler LF (C)
Leverocks - Pure Bowler OS
barmyarmy - Pure Bowler RF
age of the fall - Pure Bowler RFM

Any thoughts?

Well they chose a Poor pitch..even though we just beat them comfortably on one.

That team looks good, let's see how Fox goes opening.

We only bat down to 7 now but the tournament has been so batsman-dominated I think it's worth the risk.

Yeah, good selection, also we don't want SImbazz bowling again.


Should we post the team now?

Looks like everyone else(including the super awesome metallics2006) other than our nationals have epic failed in batting.

Ursony11 averages 40 with an excellent strike rate. The nature of the pitches we are playing on means it will be hard work for our non-international batsmen. That said other teams are scoring runs so we can too.

@ biggy - post the team if you want otherwise I'll post it later.

In honour of everything DD is:

Here's what I'm thinking for round 5:

Graeme Smith (He needs a game)
ursonly11
Simbazz (vc)
MS Dhoni
Leicester Fox
Andrew Flintoff
metallics2006
biggy09 (c)
barmyarmy
Leverocks
age of the fall

but then these guys..

Highlander999?
Chris Gayle?

If we had an active keeper it would be nice, we could drop Dhoni and have both Gayle and Smith playing.

 

[metallics2006]

Why do you play a specialist batsman at no.7? Make him play in the middle order somewhere.

 

[Biggy]

I know, I would put you up there but we have so many damn batsmen!

Gayle is our best player. Let's drop Fred instead; his bowling has been a bit expensive. Don't really want to drop Dhoni either. Keepers are very good value in cricsim.

Why do you play a specialist batsman at no.7? Make him play in the middle order somewhere.

Cos our 2 ARs bowl so we only need 4 specialist bowlers. If we drop Flintoff we'd play an extra bowler and drop a batsman.

Dhoni is staying

Here is my suggestion:

Chris Gayle
ursonly11
Graeme Smith
highlander999
MS Dhoni
Simbazz (vc)
Griffo
biggy09 (c)
barmyarmy
Leverocks
age of the fall

It means dropping two active batsman and bringing in an inactive bowler but that's what we've got to do if we want to play Smith with our lack of bowling options.

Capital "H" please

OK barmy go with that, we have a home game this round? what pitch?
