Charity Matches

[Simon]

id play but i dont want to suffer burn out, us top players need to rest up in our mansions and look after our super model girlfriends at every possible opportunity....

 

[Mr. P]

Yep count me in, I need to get the old rythm back...

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Aye, I'm in. Just as long as the charity in question isn't Robert Mugabe's fund for suffering dictators.

 

[cbuts]

What about Northern Hemisphere vs Southern Hemisphere based players or something of the like...

Bob i would be interested in any game that is getting organised.

sounds good, id suggested that for a game in the next season.

maybe it could be for the anti-nikhil cause?

 

[Majin]

I'm up for it. :}

 

[Slats4ever]

hahaha yeah to fundraise for the funds required for the legal team to argue our case....

 

[Paid The Umpire]

Yes. Let us raise lots and lots of money for this walkover case, then we can keep all this "fake" money

 

[Andre]

I'll play if it's just token matches....I'll even dust off the old iron gloves

 

[bugssy]

I'd be hoping that this could get our minds off that stuff.

So we have 23 players so far...

I'm not sure if Liam wants to play? Anyway, we'll need a couple of volunteers to be 12th man in the first game as 23 players is obviously already past the two teams of 11. Now, to split those teams evenly (hopefully with an even spread of CW colours in each team)... anyone willing to help me out here?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I'll take a game. However, I'd also be happy to carry drinks.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Note that these games won't be played until the end of the season for obvious reasons.

 

[Loony BoB]

No worries then.

Mr Mxyzptlk (12th Man)

One more volunteer needed for the other 12th Man position and we can start dividing the players up (although I guess this can be done at the end of the season, organised by final rankings or something of the sort).

So, what length of game should be played, or should these teams play more than one match?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

I'll play if it's just token matches....I'll even dust off the old iron gloves

Wanna share them with me and Ash? Could be confusing?

Unless of course you want to behold the "Vimes Pie" - specially designed to break the head of third slip without bouncing...

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

Rumour has it your learnt that bowl from me. Remember when Nibblet got a broken skull.....

 

[Loony BoB]

After a little bit of looking around, it looks like we have seven players from each of Red and Black and five from each of Blue and Green. We should try for a 4-3-3-2 mix for each team if we can pull it off with the teams staying fairly even.

On a sidenote, what do people think of another charity match, this time a 'Champions Charity Match' where all the 11 top ranked bowlers and 11 top ranked batsmen are spread into two teams for a truly top class match and a showcasing of the best of the best CW Dev League has to offer?

 

[Neil Pickup]

How about the 11 batsmen play the 11 bowlers?

Trying to get up the order, Neil?

Why have 12th man at all. Play twelve aside
