Looks good! Hopefully I get to keep at some stage during the season...but not too fussed...

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Could be a very tough tussle for the most probably 2 spinners position. With Neil and Dave with the experiance but with Roberts having a FANTASTIC off season you never know. about the All Rounder over rated part, only 1 specialist paceman could be risky, but wilson and thommo have been great assets for the team and im pretty sure they will be in our 1st team either way. Especially with the only other paceman(not in the XI) being Benjamin (no offence) i would say the all rounders will be in before him. But as i said cant way to se how the spinners choice turns out.

Has isquido or how ever u spell it been deemed inactive or what?

 

[ash chaulk]

i hope we do get some more sign ups because i can count atleast 5 players that should play Tests this season

 

[thewizard1o1]

I don't think Tests will be as big a problem as the ODI, for us this season...

 

[Neil Pickup]

Which is the reason that another backup seamer is quite critical as of now.

Three spinners may be a realistic option on the more responsive wickets, omitting a batsman (Jones/Blackman in likelihood), but the main place competition is likely to be Roberts/Richards for the second spinner's role.

Desi needs a sensible first name and rapidly.

 

[kears_falcon_9]

lol Iron, i can imagine callin my son that (NOT) Anyway who do you boys think will be playin internationals this year.

Im thinking (and hoping)

Test:
NS Pickup
CR Butler
SG Fitzsimmons
DA Kearsley
MW Wilson
CP Thompson
NS Hoy

Hope the boys already in can hold their place and Wilson and Thommo push for a spot. Myabe even Simon push for a spot with another great Dev Season.

ODI:
NS Pickup
AP Chaulk
CR Butler
DA Kearsley
MW Wilson
CP Thompson
NS Hoy

Same reasons again lol.

 

[thewizard1o1]

doubt i'll be anywhere near the test team with my stellar FC strike rate...other then that, shows the amount of talent Black has this season.

[marc71178]

I propose either Bob or Trevor.

 

[Right arm fast]
