The Blue Thread

[RigorMortis]

Harris back to get a run out.

Thoughts?

Yes, I'd rather not be running any of my teammates (or myself) out...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I guess i'd be too expensive bowling in such a game.....

Plus, i'm not in the one dayer selection viewing anymore, anyway.

Looks good. Too many allrounders is my personal opinion still, but you already know that

Camps has an excellent OD track record with the ball though. That makes a pretty good experienced combo of Patrick, Camps and Halsey, with the likes of Fuller as the extra seamer and Harris as a specialist spinner. Popat fills in as needed.

Why am I not playing?

erm, the potential line up Liam posted had you at number 3?!??!?

As Dave said, you're set to return for Smash.

Regarding 5D and OD, the terms "poor form" and "liability" come to mind. In case you haven't noticed, the Blues haven't been playing well this season in general and you've fallen part of that. Unfortunately you're one of the players who misses out at the moment. Keep working at your game and you'll be back though.

Yeah, not disagreeing with the side, nor dissappointed at not playing nor am I whining I just think overall in the blue team there are too many allrounders and there are too many allrounders CW wide.

hehe, just my view.

Have a good game, smash well

Too many allrounders cricketweb wide is nothing we can control though.

Its just a matter of who joins up, and if they are honest.

I think having a side full of allrounders is ok for OD games. but for FC games we need more specialist batmen.

naa, its all about management, cwxi is for playing, if u dont want to play wcc thats ok, but i suggest u give it a go anyway, theres no obligations to stay with it if u dont like it...

Ooh, I'm working. So who's the OD keeper ATM?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Crampton... rookie. Doing a fine job with the bat too.

 

[Nate]

personally I believe I should be batting up the order... like 10. I mean, just look at my strike-rate! hehe... nah its cool, strong side methinks, good bowling/batting mix and we can bat all the way down to 11!

Blues all tha way

 

[David]

Congrats on the 5-fer Nath! Good to see you hitting your stride again

SG Fitzsimmons
A Cloete
D Jellett +
A Crampton
MW de Silva
SE Fuller
TC Halsey
LA Camps
SC Popat
R Harris
NL Patrick

12th Man: DP Tucker

2 specialist bowlers, 3 allrounders, 4 batsmen, Jellett back to keep wicket and pinch hit at the top and Harris back to get a run out. Halsey promoted up the order due to his SR of 124podd this season in OD.

Fitzsimmons and Cloete opening the batting due to their experience and general aggression.

Thoughts?

Am I not allowed to play Smash or am I just not in selection thoughts?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Don't read too much into it. You're still there and thereabouts, but this is XI-man combo for the first Smash game. It may well change.

 

[PY]

Obviously not enough in the thoughts.

Need some serious uplifting of form here Blues, we're in danger of becoming the whipping boys as much as it pains me to say it. Maybe I just have high expectations after last year.

I'm off to hit the nets. Feel free to join me.

I'll bowl to you, anytime.

Lift the chins, we've just played inconsistently. We have a strong outfit, just need to gel better.
