The IndoPak Origin Team Thread - 2008 Season

They generally end up wasting balls.

But this is 50 over cricket

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

Exactly, I said PCCL not PCPL! I knew what I am saying, it wasn't a typo!

 

[Amiya]

I want to be batting all rounder...

 

[The Blazer]

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

Too many Indian stadiums! Gaddafi and Rawalpindi are fine (though maybe give Gaddafi precedence over Rawalpindi)- Get the National Stadium in there as well.

And possible line-up for opening game? Perhaps we should have a rotation system so that each player gets a fair chance in the opening games; maybe in the latter stages of the tournament we could then base selection on merit rather than rotation.

Just my thoughts.

2 Indian, 2 Pakistani

And I think theres an equal number of Pakistanis and Indians, so we have to make proportionate.

Besides, Gaddafi Stadium hosts the final - what can be better

Anyway, I think the opening line-up will be based on activity, and that will probably be our "base" line-up throughout the tournament. Then any changes we can make after the opening game

 

[The Blazer]

Fair dos.

 

[sohum]

Hmm. Remember to put Mumbai in for the FC's. They'll prepare a dustbowl so we can spin our competitors.

 

[navin-boss]

Sorry i wasn't around this section..

Best of luck guys!

 

[ansariaamir_leo]

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.

Now I'm thinking to change to a pure bolwer
Man! u r scary

Why were u trying to scare a dog? :confused:

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Because I was scared from it?

Nah, why do you scare away dogs? To protect your things, in the case I'm talking about, I was scaring the dog out of fun, when it just refused to budge!
