Clapos XI

 

[Son Of Coco]

Best Indies look beatable. I no longer have an obvious second XI just 4 or 5 stragglers who are decidedly crappier than the rest of the team

Yeah, they do actually. Not sure about the other two though...

Mork - Wow. Incredible post buddy. Thank you so much for the effort you're puting in, it really does promise to be the greatest BT Cup ever.

Everyone else - Well done on getting ALL friendlies confirmed.

 

[Nate]

Brackenhurst's team islooking forward to tomorrow's clash against Saggers Mob, though there are some doubts over the fitness of the bowling attack. Smart, Holmes and Lake have all pulled up sore over the last few days, and will not play unless they can convince a panel of four celebrity judges that they can skate on ice to three of jazz, tap, swing, samba or classical.

But really, they're hurting.

But really, they're hurting.

Young Steyn set to captain the sixhitters from the top of the batting order again against Scaly, Cherry misses out through fitness and Duke was sold for 50k over the week (how the hell did such a second-rate allrounder attract so much bidding?) so Henk continues in the side having been dropped earlier in the season and Clunnie continues in his new role in the middle order together with Blakeman who shifts down one place to make room for Samiullah at the top of the order. Bridges m comes in at six and will also contribute with his military medium pace fast bowler, Harley takes a breather for this game

 

[Jamee999]

Tomorrow's clash between the two big guns in Group H, Jamees 999ers and Central Districts will no doubt be a cracker! Young captain and superstar opening batsman Marvin Warnock has been confirmed as playing, as has West Indian Zesh Snodin, and all-rounder Maurice Aldred, while all-rounder Dwight Kealey will not be playing in the game.

However, the main issue for the quivering Central Districts will be all about one man: Gareth Bardle. Jamee Gray and the coaches are to meet after his late fitness test tomorrow morning to decide if the collosall bowler will play. Bardle was a crucial bowler in last year's CW Cup, taking 5-10 in the destroyal of Citizens Erased, 3-29 against Jaffna Jets, 8-24 against the Boulevard Bombers and 4-10 against oz fans xi. He is one of the finest bowlers in the Cup, and is consistently selected in CW All-Star XIs. If he plays, it will be a massive boost to the 999ers.

Find out tomorrow, at 10 am, The Jamee Gray Arena.

20 minutes till the early matches in Australia kick off the tension builds

 

[pasag]

Massive game against Brackenhurst, lucky I woke up in time to get my orders in. Don't think I have a chance personally and if I win it'd be the same thing to me as winning the whole cup.

 

[Nate]

You've got some quality batsmen, but I'm hoping that won't matter. We've got Player Profiles.

EDIT: Gah, lose the toss and Saggers bats first on a flat deck. C'mon Smart!

No team wrested control before I go to bed.
