The National Bank Chappell-Hadlee Trophy - Aus at last won a match

[Chewie]

Dan's at school... He'll be on in a couple of hours probably.

I think Jono's suggestions are good. I'll have a harder look at the choices now though.

 

[Chewie]

Well we have 3 batsmen, a keeper, two all-rounders and a bowler.

In a 15 person squad you'd be looking at 5/6 batsmen, 2 keepers, 3/4 all-rounders, and 4 bowlers.


My suggestion would be to get Southee, Watling, Guptill and Williamson as U-25. That's gives 4 batsmen, 2 keepers, 3 all-rounders, and 2 bowlers. Bond or Cairns as the retired player. Then you could think about Wagner, McKay, Shanan Stewart, Boult, Elliott, Ryder, de Grandhomme, Broom, Nicol, Bates, etc. as the others.

 

[-D-S-B-]

My suggestions:
Tim Southee - U25
Martin Guptill - U25
BJ Watling - U25
Kane Williamson - U25
One More Bowler
Andy McKay ?
Jesse Ryder
Shane Bond - Retired

-D-S-B- added 0 Minutes and 51 Seconds later...

That may be too many batsmen, what do you think Chewie?

 

[Chewie]

I would pick:

Southee
Williamson
Guptill
Ryder
Elliott
Bond
Watling
Hira?

 

[-D-S-B-]

McKay for Elliot? I think we need another Pacer and Nathan McCullum can cover his All-Rounder position and come in for Hira as the spinner. Remember we all ready have 2 all rounders so Williamson will make 3.
Thoughts?

Maybe I'm taking this too seriously :laugh

 

[Chewie]

Ah yes Nathan McCullum would be a good idea for a spinner.

ATM for pace bowlers we have you, bcvs, parth, Southee, and Bond. Ryder can bowl part time, so it doesn't really matter whether you get a full time bowler or a pace all-rounder.

Didn't realise they were pace All-rounders.

What I would pick (but It's up to Rahul)
Tim Southee - 25
Kane Williamson - 25
Martin Guptill - 25
BJ Watling - U25
Jesse Ryder
Nathan McCullum
Grant Elliot
Shane Bond - Retired

 

[Chewie]

I agree with Dan's picks

We don't have time! ANd mate either post the line-up for the 1st Odi.

 

[-D-S-B-]

Ok I'm on it. Make them picks final!

 

[riz7khan12]

pretty good selections.

 

[-D-S-B-]

1.Jono Choie (wk)
2.Jesse Ryder
3.Riz Khan
4.Callum Gray
5.Sahil Khan
6.Parth Kadakia^ (c)
7.Sartaj McDaniel^
8.Brook Harris^
9.Dan Thompson^
10.Tim Southee^
11.Shane Bond^

What do you's think?

I don't think we need Watling, we need to swap him for an u 25 Pace bowler, we have so many middle order batsman I had to put people lower than they will want. But if you don't like, build a bridge.

 

[Aussie Team]

And you have Brook Harris either.

 

[-D-S-B-]

Ok Brook Harris straight swap with McCullum.
