LOL longest tail in the history of FC cricket, loving it tbh.
Yeah, I'm not particularly convinced in the idea of playing four specialist seamers along with Camps, Fuller and myself. I think Bowen might have been better value that one of the bowlers, just thinking about it. Still a strong team though, and I expect it to do well.

Dire decision for Bowen fans. You obviously have forgotten the brilliant 100+ not out in the match against Tasmania where all the other batsmen failed.

Scores this pre season: 38, 56, 107*, 40, 7, 41 5.
294 runs @ 49.00
Blue must have a gun batting lineup.
Never fear, you are definetly up there. Was looking for a 'solid' player at 3 instead of your imense stroke play there. Didn't want to displace the other top 7. They're on notice though, as few players have had 'interesting' pre-season matches.

Attacking cricket, want the ability to be able to bowl teams out. Want to play 4 front line seamers at the Dome, see how it goes.

Was thinking of playing a top 8 that can all bat (Bowen in for a bowler), but really interested in the seamers at the Dome. We've got an extremely versatile squad, so have plenty of options if this backfires horribly. On that note, send me an email, I want to be able to bounce ideas off you in the future. :p

Could always give me the gloves skip and play the extra specialist batsmen. ;)

De Silva seems to have fallen out of favour. Good signs though as it means we have depth in batting this season.

Crampton's a gun.

Dinu's still there and there abouts, it's really quite tough to fit the batsmen into the top 6 or 7. There's also Tyson who isn't far from first XI cricket too. 9 Batsmen to fit into the top 6, realistically.

It's a good problem to have :)

Blue OD team

Intending to bat deep, with Pete the key at 7 as required in the chase/late overs. Giving Crampton a better crack up the order. Expecting Liam and Thamba to smash the opening bowlers off t heir line with Dinu and Sean getting large scores.

Hopefully we have enough pace with myself, Sean and Liam with G and Dunny to bowl perfect line and length.

Expecting big things f rom Taylor in his debut in the middle overs.

On a side note, Cribby, can you get Taylor and Tyson active?

I suck at one dayers, don't mind missing out on the 13 man squad at this stage. Kinda bizarre though that in the longer form of the game, i bat at more then a run a ball..

Focused on earning a Test/First Class recall. Can't wait to be 12th man, hopefully I get a couple of catches when one of our batsmen is injured. :dry:
