Lineups

[Howe_zat]

Dean Elgar
Fawad Alam (6)
Dinesh Chandimal+
Mahela Jayawardene*
David Hussey
Angelo Mathews
Shahid Afridi (5)
Naved-ul-Hasan (3)
Graeme Swann (4)
Vinay Kumar (2)
Mark Davies (1)

Need to sort my bowling out so a big shift around. Mathews is on thin ice. Let Swann and Afridi bowl long spells, bowling Fawad is just experimental.

It's an aggressive lineup so stay relatively defensive towards declarations. No nightwatchman.

Round 4 - CW Green V Sneaky Soldiers

Win toss, Bat

Key
Trott
Bopara
Collingwood
Flintoff
Rashid
Wright
Boucher
Tremlett
Onions
Pattinson

Bowling order:

Onions
Tremlett
Flintoff
Pattinson
Rashid
Collingwood (only if fill-in needed, or partnership breaker)
Bopara (only if fill-in needed, or partnership breaker)
Wright (as above)

Other random instructions:

Win toss and bat
Flintoff to bat super aggressively with the tail
No declarations unless 600 on the board in the first innings batting first or lead of 200, 400 lead in the 2nd
Promote Wright ahead of Rashid if we need quick runs
Win

Note - line-up edited because of injuries. FFS. Kumble denied his debut due to two batsmen being out, funnily enough.

Marcuss Is a **** V CW Green (Round 5)

Key
Trott
Hodge
Bopara
Collingwood
Flintoff
Boucher
Kumble
Tremlett
Onions
Pattinson

Bowling:

Onions
Tremlett
Flintoff
Pattinson
Kumble
(Collingwood, Bopara, Trott)

In the second innings, if the pitch is taking spin then bowl Kumble first change, and have Hodge as the first choice fill-in bowler.

When batting, in the first innings, look to score 600 if batting first, or a 200 lead if batting second. When 200 short if either target, step up the aggression. Declare when target is reached.

If batting third and time is short, set a chaseable target (but not too easy). If Flintoff is bowling well, bowl him lots.

Win.

Round 6: CW Green vs The Brudenell Social Club Pub Quiz Team


Bat first.

1. Dean Elgar
2. Fawad Alam (6)
3. Dinesh Chandimal+
4. Mahela Jayawardene
5. David Hussey*
6. Zander de Bruyn (5)
7. Adam Gilchrist+

9. Rana Naved (3)
10. Vinay Kumar (2)
11. Mark Davies (1)

de Bruyn to be used more as a part-timer than an allrounder, unless he takes wickets ofc.

No nightwatchman. Declare if we rack up 600 in the first innings. In the second innings, declare if the opposition needs 100 or more per session or with a lead of 400, whichever comes soonest.

Only mess with the aggression settings if we're batting to save the game or going for a win with losing ruled out.
