The IndoPak Origin Team Thread - 2008 Season

[Insomniac]

I'll smash your head off in the nets.

There should be a sign outside of the nets:

Beware of flying heads.

 

[shan111]

Thats why there's a vice-captain

Anyway, we need to decide our grounds...

I say we play our home games in this order:

Eden Gardens, Kolkota
Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi
Feroz Shah Kotla, New Delhi
Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore <-- play off game / final

It's Kolkata, ZM. Pure "bangla bhasha" (Bengali Language)..

[Abhas]

I hope you'll do that to the oppositon and not to your own team-mates

Blood bath

 

[shan111]

You are scaring me..

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Cheers for the fixtures shan... it doesn't really matter though. We'll win anything that comes up to us.

 

[sohum]

Should be fun dominating this tournament.

 

[ansariaamir_leo]

So do u want the All Rounders to convert?

 

[Abhas]

No, not all. i think if 2 convert, we'll get a good balance to the team.

 

[Insomniac]

Of course not all.

I personally am happy with just two all-roundres.

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

We just need one batting all rounder and one bowling all rounder. That should be all I think, because all rounders have mostly been proved to be useless in the PCCL due to the averages.

 

[Abhas]

Thats perfectly fine. we have a strong Line up and we are the best

 

[Insomniac]

We just need one batting all rounder and one bowling all rounder. That should be all I think, because all rounders have mostly been proved to be useless in the PCCL due to the averages.

But this is 50 over cricket

I reckon we could play a bowling all-rounder at #3 as a pinch hitter
