FC Named.

If you feel like based on Pre-Season form you should've been in, blame it on the fact i was out all day and then went out and got drunk. Before the next FC game it'll become clear who's not pulling their weight anyway. Also bear in mind, the OD lineup looks hugely different to the FC one so most will be getting game time in some form.

Looks a good opening side, apart from no Cameron imo.

Any reason why Scott and Malone swapped positions. I always thought Scott was at his best at 3 and Malone was at his best opening.

Mitchell, can I ask why you are batting me at 8? As I said, I don't mind at all (would prefer to be at 7 but you can't have everything!!!) but it's not what I was expecting based on earlier conversations...

Haha. Worked spectactularly well.

Yeah the First XI i had then had you at 4, then i had another look at it and based on career averages that's where you slot in really. Essentially you've become Ashley Giles FC stats wise.

I'm happy enough with that. I said earlier in the thread that bowling has clearly become my stronger suit, would like to hope to force my way back into the top 7 though, ideally at seven, but my batting has been hit and miss over the last twelve dev league months. Can't be too many #8s in the Dev League with a career HS like mine :cool: :ph34r:

Think in most sides you'd be the 7, but Cunningham's 30+ and the first all rounder. Trying my hardest to stop the collapses we seem to get.

Yeah, well I don't mind, hopefully batting at 8 will help me bowl a little better, and it's the team that matters, so it would be nice to see a lack of collapses this season.

Any hints as to what the OD side is going to look like?

Huge effort from the top 6 , making it hard for anyone to disrupt that order looks like the 6 form green batsmen. Fairly confident we can get the right balance in the bowling attack too, though it can require alot of toil to get through most of the dev league batting lists. Anyway here's the updated catching %'s, i'm sure the ball is starting to follow me now haha..

Dubb-Lynch 3/3 - 100%
Mamesh 3/3 - 100%
McNamara 1/1 - 100%
Raftery 1/1 - 100%
Read 1/1 - 100%
Corrin 3/4 - 75%
Gonzalez 2/3 - 67%
Rose 2/3 - 67%
Malone 3/5 - 60%
Lezama 4/8 - 50%
Cunningham 3/6 - 50%
Forner 1/2 - 50%
Reddlapalli 1/2 - 50%
Chapman 0/1 - 0%
Sarwar 0/1 - 0%
Scott 0/2 - 0%
Garven 0/4 - 0%

I'm not at Uni anymore, have to get myself pretty drunk by 10 as last orders is half 11 and Campden's a quiet Cotswold town. Bleh.

Bah.

Oh, and idea. Unlikely i'm going to feature in FC cricket for a time looking at the squad (though might get a game or two in OD based on pre-season), am thinking if Dev league dies on its arse again in arranging a few friendly reserve games against other teams, if they can be bothered putting sides together. Obv will choose those not involved in that weeks FC/OD game will be my pool to select from.

You happy with us doing that? Wont be till sept though, gonna be too drunk/hungover for the next week and a half.
