Can Cricketweb make a strong cricket team?

lol ****ing off the spinners is so much fun. although sometimes i do feel a lil guilty about disrespectin them....partially when you try to slug something that you completely miss and it hits the stumps and you get out. now THAT is embarasing.

This thread is beyond stupid. Anyone who thinks we'd make a score of over 50 and actually manage to take 10 wickets within a course of 5 days is ridiculously stupid.

Only time they'd get out is if they are so tired that their bat can't swing.


Please, stop embarrasing yourselves and claiming you can be a match for even a bad first class side...let alone a TEST SIDE.

Actually I agree with you, but not as forcefully! :happy:

Bangladesh would whip any side we came up with on here, unless there's a lot more players of First Class standard than I've heard of on CW. Jack would get to do a LOT of bowling I think! (I don't mean that in a bad way either mate...just that you'd probably be our only option of any great merit!) :happy:

Apologies if I've underestimated anyone's abilities on here.

Answer to thread question, yes...erm...no...maybe

Depends on what we mean by strong.

I know we have a few good players, and Id have no qualms about bowling against Bang or Zim.

We would never win the game, but saying we would get bowled out for 50 and struggle to take any wickets is a long way from the truth.

We surely have enough members to be a decent club team with a few very good players.
One things for sure is that if we were a club few others could match our membership and we would struggle to get fixtures for our 27th XI

I think Northern Districts paceman and NZ prospect Te Ahu Davis has posted twice on CW. He can open the bowling.

I was in the USA for a few months last year, and the standard of cricket there is terrible. It was all astro turf cricket, and played a bunch of blokes who said they were first graders or some crap like that. They were decent, but definately not even club level here in australia. And they werent lying either

I've got brad hogg out in the nets twice in about 50 balls. I don't even bowl anymore, one good ball is all it takes to dismiss a batsman.

Against a bangladeshi team, we'd get beaten fairly easily, but i'd say we'd make about 150 in both our innings, and they'd make about 600 in their only innings.
