[Mr Mxyzptlk]

thanks for the message Trav.
hmmm....doesn't look too good. we dont have any spinners do we, except for Cribb?

We barely played a spinner last season though. At least in the first half of it.

 

[dinu23]

true. still we dont even have 11 do we. what happens if we cant find 11. get some new guys, made up players?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Gonna have to get a fair few rookies. Other things will have to be worked out with the board. At the moment I believe we do have exactly 11 players though. So it should be fine come the season start.

 

[Travis_Teh]

Young expressed intent towards retiring soon IIRC?

He's back! Said he would assess retirement at the end of the season.

Never fear; I'm gun.

Signed up players thus far:

Camps
Fuller
Mamesh
Demeza
Collins
Cribb
Dunn
Crampton
Young
Bowen
De Silva

Hooray, yes we indeed have 11, hehe.

Would look like something along the lines of : Mamesh, Cribb, Young, Fuller, De Silva, Bowen, Camps, Crampton, Collins, Dunn, Demeza

Fuller/Camps/De Silva to rearrange in the order due to bowling commitments I guess? Definetly need a spin option.

Well, a secon spin option

Would definitely prefer for Cribb to bat in the middle order. That's where he dominated last season. Also, there's a Collins comment to be made somewhere here...

I already made a Collins comment when the "lack of spin" first came up. Can't heckle him too much, he's fragile.

And only has a couple more years on his contract.

I love him really.

He's back! Said he would assess retirement at the end of the season.

Mainly due to the shortage of Blue players, not really sure how active I'll be about the place but I'll do my best.

Nice to hear your trying, though

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Just want him to retire so I have a shot at a cap, tbh.

He could always just retire from international cricket.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Want him to stop bashing us for tons too.
