Awesome stuff Camps

Agree with Heath re: draft order though, seems a little strange.

 

[Nate]

Haha, have a whinge. Our players aren't replacing anyone of extreme quality, it's all about style. And we're smashing you in that.

 

[Johnners]

Not all that worried about it as we did fairly well out of the random player assignments, just thought it was a bit strange 'tis all.

 

[biased indian]

why am i off contract ???

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

why am i off contract ???

Because you only had a 1-year contract with CW Red, and are therefore now off contract.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Christ. Below Nixontown and Upper Body who've already had one overseas player selection. Tough crowd.

Awesome stuff Camps

Agree with Heath re: draft order though, seems a little strange.

Nixonstown and East Robbham are taking players with a 1 and 2 rating, respectively.

 

[dinu23]

Rabid Wolves Squad Decided. More Questions than Answers?

West Robham Squad

KJ Gough (CW Black) [c]
H Mørk (CW Red) [icon] [wk]
NG Scott (CW Green)
RG Dunn (CW Blue)
DK Rai (CW Colts)
DP Richards (CW Black)
SV Raghav (CW Red)
SA Bennett (CW Red)
BS Read (CW Green) [wk]
SC Morris (no contract)
MW DeSilva (CW Blue)

With the announcement of the CW squad players for West Robham Rabid Wolves for the inaugural CW T20 Cup, the press is asking 'who will score the runs and take the wickets?'

Looking at the careers of the players and their off seasons, there is plenty of mystery surrounding this squad.

One quick look at the local press shows certain questions have been raised

"Can similar players such as Bennett and Richards co-exist in the same team?"

"With Gough, Raghav and Dunn having very ordinary off-seasons, is there enough firepower for this team to be able to challenge?"

"Can Scott, De Silva and Read provide top order runs as quick as some other teams can?"

"Can Read transition his amazing off-season form into the domestic game?"

"Who is the real Mork? The slow batsman in CWLand, the failure in T&T T20 or the aggressive T20 beast seen in Yorkshire?"

"Can Rai make a statement that can define him as a cricketer?"

"Can unproven players like Raghav and Morris make a name for themselves on this big stage?"

"Is Dunn scarred by his mauling in IPL?"

"Is Gough ready to lead an attack?"

Whilst the media was full of speculation as to the answers, the truth will only be seen once the season develops.

Rabid Wolves Nicknames

Today the West Robham Weekly annouced the winners of its 'Suggest a nickname' competition.

Readers were asked to write in and suggest nicknames for Rabid Wolves players and the West Robham Weekly chose the best and will use them in reports.

'On Display' Rai - Everytime he goes out to bat he puts on a show.
'Golden' de Silva- It maybe obvious but it fits this valuable player
'Havoc' Dunn- As in 'destruction complete'. Fits this dangerous quick bowler
'Ease' Raghav- Because if you add 'Es' to his name you 'Have Rage'. Perfect for the Rabid Wolves.
'Full Speed' Read- Aggressive batsman and bane of bowlers
'Dangerous' Dave Richards- Self proclaimed
'Vietnam Sam' Morris- Taken from the war of the same name. Based on the youngster being unkown and unheralded but looking to reek destruction on more fancied and high profile enemies.

The Exclamation Boys
It may be obvious, played out and a little cringeworthy, but the fact that 2 players have names that signify shock or suprise means we have the Exclamation Boys. 'Great' Scott and 'Gordon' Bennett.

The 'Trip of Rip'
The trio of spin bowlers that will hope spin the Rabid Wolves to the title. Made up of 'Gordon' Bennett, 'Dangerous' Dave Richards and Nathan Hauritz.
