The Black Thread

[mikeW]

I'd say Kears for VC.

 

[Nate]

think its a very positive decision. why is this season X???

Because I said so.

It appeals to a younger market.

 

[Dydl]

It appeals to a younger market.

How sure are you about that?

 

[Neil Pickup]

How sure are you about that?

My assumption would be that he's about 14, so understands...

 

[Dydl]

He doesn't act like it... jokes...

 

[ash chaulk]

so whos getting excited?

 

[Nate]

Neil, just because my batting is better than yours doesn`t mean you can lose your head.

But I guess you`re looking at your line-up and thinking "Crap, how do we beat Blue?" It`s alright man, just let it be.

Any thoughts on how we go in the warm-ups?

Any thoughts on how we go in the warm-ups?

i suggest we destroy everyone else


but its just a suggestion

 

[superkingdave]

seriously, i looks like were without Pickup, Chaulk, Butler, Kearsley and Hoy

so maybe

1. SG Fitzsimmons
2. S Jones
3. AJ Blackman
4. MW Wilson
5. CP Thompson
6.DY Dubb-Lynch - WK
7.CB Benjamin
8.HG Warwick
9.DP Richards
10.GS Gooljar
11.GM Roberts

(i think we've only got 11 so the selection shouldn't be that diffficult)

 

[superkingdave]

perhaps with Thompson and Wilson to lead the bowling attack with Warwick and Benjamin in support with seam up. Myself, Roberts and Gooljar providing perhaps a taste of what teams might face at the Pickup reserve this year.

Chaulk will be with Black during the Test series and will be available for all the warmups.

 

[Simon]

looks good, hopefully we get something out of these warm up games and can go into the season proper with some confidence...

 

[Dydl]

Definitely!

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Dont forget for the first two warmup matches we can include the Test Players. So we should be at full strenght for those two games.

(Correct me if im wrong about that statement) lol

but its just a suggestion

I like it

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Sounds like a good plan Dave!

 

[thewizard1o1]

I knew there was a good reason Dave was made backup skipper, with a plan like that how could anything go wrong!
