*Official* CW XI in Pakistan and Bangladesh

[roseboy64]

Yeah but he's a bowler you're not.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Vote.

 

[Andre]

I reckon some people here are taking Bangladesh too easily...we might just gift them the first Test win on overconfidence...

I'm with Sam here 100%. A win will be a fantastic achievement on this tour in the Test matches, taking our dismal Test status and record into account.

Besides, even if it does boost the averages, it moves them from very average to average.

 

[cbuts]

when does the tour start?

Unchanged squad from the Pakistan tour due to the same mentality mentioned earlier (under-rating the opposition). That said, the same XIs may not participate as those in Pakistan.

The ODI squad will be named after the first Test match.

Dates are tentative at the moment and may change.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I suggest that the first warm-up game is moved to July from June

 

[Nate]

yea otherwise things could get VERY interesting...

 

[masterblaster]

Slightly upset in not making the test squad, as my best bowling has been for CW Green in FC matches.

But anyway, that's life. Have a great tour guys, hopefully see you all during the ODI's.

Lets go all the way this time.

 

[Mr. P]

Glad to be in the squad. I WILL repay your faith Liam.

I agree with Neil, get the tour going sooner rather then later.

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

Lol, i think Neil was only correcting Liams dates. as the 3rd of June was a while ago now. Typo from liam.

 

[Simon]

happy to make the squad, but not expecting much as far as game time, with recent poor performances of the test side i know my spot, like everyone elses isnt cemented

 

[roseboy64]

Glad to be in the squad agin.Hopefully i'll get my debut and will be able to perform when called upon.Anyway, hope we have a better tour than last time.

 

[Mister Wright]

Extremely happy to make the squad after a very ordinary tour of Pakistan. Looking for a big improvement.

[DJellett]

Absolutley OVER THE MOON about my return after an injury which threatened to end my career or at least make me wear a helmet now...Hopefully a chance to prove myself in one of the tour games...Very hopefull and thanks soooo much to the CWXI selection board and associates, I hope it will be a move that you will not regret

 

[Tom Halsey]

Delighted at being in the squad, and hoping to get some practice against the Bangladeshi 'batsmen'.

at least give them some runs so we have something to aim for with the bat!
