Vatican Victors Team thread - We rock the world!

[w3lshrugby]

Do you know any good places to party in Vatican?
We could always pop over the border into Rome itself - I know lots of good people and places in Rome

 

[Maxkarter]

Meh, I don't think the Pope would condone the existance of drunk and disorderly cricketer's in his establishment, best that we cross the border and get absolutely wasted!

 

[w3lshrugby]

Spose so. Though I'm sure he must have a batch of wine somewhere in the Holy See?

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

I think his wines are stored outside Vatican too. You know, the trips....

 

[Abhas]

Don't worry about the venue.. We've booked the whole of Vatican for our parties

There's enough room for everyone

 

[w3lshrugby]

Might be a tight squeeze though, Abhas.

 

[Abhas]

Not quite... Surely Vatican can accommodate 15 more people

If there's a problem, another solution : All roads lead to Rome

 

[Abhas]

Tentative team for matches?

Batsmen : 4 - Sure to get a game.
shan111 RHB op
Kshitiz_Indian RHB op
Mohd. Yousuf RHB bt
viral1991 LHB bt

Batting All Rounders - 2 out of 3. - we can shuffle them around, Rotation policy would work best here.
shantanu_rooney RHB, RM Bt A
Maxkarter LHB, SLA Bt A - not likely to get a game if 2 spinners are playing.
WORLD CHAMPIONS RHB, RF Bt A

Wicket Keepers - 1 out of 2
Anuj Puranik LHB, WK - most likely
duded64 ?, WK - plan to change him into a batsman.

Spinner : 1 out of 3 / 2 out of 3
Murli OS, RHB bl - either him or Nel
w3lshrugby LS, ? bl - sure to play
Vaibhav Mehta SLA, ? bl - very unlikely to get a game as a spinner. - I'd rather change him into a fast bowler.

Fast Bowler : 3 out of 3 / 2 out of 3.
Andre Nel RF, RHB bl - either him or murli
Griffo RMF, ? bl - sure
Abhas Gupta LF, LHB bl - sure


Need more suggestions and comments regarding the Team structure.

 

[w3lshrugby]

I agree with turning duded into a full batsman, and changing vaibhav into a fast bowler would make more sense...3 quality spinners in a squad is just a little to much.

 

[viral1991]

The team composition looks very good. I think that 3 spinners are not a problem though.

 

[Abhas]

the problem is that we have 3 full time spinners, and maxkarter who is a spinner as well, so, in most probability, We'd play 2 spinners + maxkarter rather than 3 spinners (if we ever plan to play 3 spinners.)

Its a 25 over game, so the number of batsmen seem alright to me.

 

[shantanu_rooney]

Yeah its a well balanced side ....

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

We are a great side, now lets have some practice

 

[Abhas]

Yeah, Rhys will be simming some matches for us

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

I thought Rhys was simming the practice matches? :scratch
