Thoughts on destructive RM/LM bowlers? A bloke on the TM atm that I thought would be a great replacement for verhoeven, then I realised he was only RM, not RFM.. was sure I'd read somewhere that people haven't found them overly effective?

Can't really speak for my own team, as I've never had any particularly good medium pacers.

However, I've definitely been taken apart by destructive medium pacemen, albeit highly skilled ones. A national player or two, I think.

Think they're a good option, as they can work alright on all pitches. However, I wouldn't want one as my stand-out strike bowler.

BARNES OUT
0.1 W Daniels to Dylan
Slightly wide and Dylan throws the kitchen sink at it. Skies a top edge out to point and it's safely pouched.

Great start 8|

End of Over 40: 161-10, runrate=4.03
Coburn 7-2-13-4
Sekhon* 1 (6 balls)

Thats last time my boys will take to the pitch, and its looking like ending in a win. A couple of days until Coburn can be listed, so will wait till then to list them all.

Both of the top two teams in my league chucked today's matches so they wouldn't possibly auto-promote. Why on earth do people like that bother playing?

That their capitulation pushed me down to fourth place has nothing to do with my ire, of course.

Won I.1 today, was tight but got there in the end. :)

Ground expansion underway over off-season, need to get some yoof in for next year to replace some old codgers in a few yrs time but in interim, will just sell and buy in younger players.
