Did one of vcs or Teja have an alternate team?

 

[vcs]

Haha, I was joking there. I would be happy to sit on the bench or play for one of my alternates (WI, Australia) if need be. Especially if participation would involve heavy involvement, you'd probably be better off without me.

 

[weldone]

The opposition bowlers will be full of confidence when they see someone named "NZTailender" coming out to bat at four for New Zealand.

Does add a touch of realism to the sim though.

ha ha ...gold...

 

[G.I.Joe]

Joe - No need. Your role isn't clashing with anyone else's. You are our specialist middle-order batsman. You are our Virat Kohli

I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with the idea of Joni jacking off to me.

Hasn't bothered you so far.

 

[Teja.]

Drop Teja TBH. 17 is too young to play a World Cup IMO.

This is the year 1989. The occasion is the selection committee meeting of The Indian cricket team. vcs is the ageing Mohinder Amarnath and I'm the young and unproven Sachin Tendulkar.

udecide, folks.

 

[Cevno]

You are more of a Parthiv Patel than a Sachin though judging by your role.

Undecided.

Well we have exactly enough players (officially anyway; there are a couple who registered their interest but haven't filled out a form yet) to fill four complete teams so far. In a dream world we'd fill all 14, but realistically I know we're not going to be able to, and that we'll need to use some fillers for the less popular nations. Probably would've wanted to be a little further ahead by this point but it's not bad so far as long as people keep joining closer to the World Cup.

Looks like we could use a few middle order bats. Assuming we can get 10 overs out of PEWS and morgieb which means we can have a genuine bat at 7.

Is it a bit of a problem that we have 2 "defensive" batsmen at the top of the order? 2x Clarke at the crease would be excruciating IRL.

I'm actually primarily a bowler despite being an opener. I might end up at seven or eight myself given I only have 40 batting points, although my activity could prop that up depending on how I do it.

 

[Nate]

We'll win the tourney wihtout a middle order tbh.

EDIT: Also Ausage, I like you. You're cool.

 

[honestbharani]

I am in too. .for Inda, plz, if spots are available.

 

[honestbharani]

And weldone, I am the Dinesh Karthik to Teja's Parthiv Patel..



Seriously though, if realism is not so important, I am willing to change my sign up too...

 

[Prince EWS]

I think it'd be dire if all the teams were perfectly balanced. Having variety in the makup of teams will make it more interesting IMO. A team with three wicket keepers FTW.

 

[Noble One]

Liking the Australian side. Australia has had a traditional strength at number three. Names like Bradman and Ponting. Not sure if this rich history will continue with the might of morgieb the next name on the list.

i think we once fielded a team with dravid,karthik and dhoni.... so we are used to it
