Pete, i've put you back to 3 for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, you've been having a shocking season opening. Thought i'd let you have a crack at 3 (where you've been playing test cricket for some time now etc) to give you a break from the new ball.

Secondly, Stephen's been in bull**** good form up the top of the order and since I put you to 3 to try things out a bit Sean has kind of almost cemented his spot there.

You aren't having the best of seasons, but i'm extremely unwilling to drop a player of your calibre at all from the team, hence a shuffle instead of replacement.

Hopefully this helps.
Fair enough, not too bothered and as you say, others have performed very well there. Can't believe how bad a season I'm having in FC, just hope we can sneak into final and if I'm still in, make a difference. I know why it is though, 7 players averaging 40+ means I don't get a second chance if I fail! :D

Just thought I'd let you guys know that my internet has carked it. I thought it'd be resolved quickly but it's taking quite some time. I still have an old dial-up (or dire-lup as I call it..) connection to use but it's hard to navigate forums (especially multiple forums) without falling asleep waiting for pages to load, so I might have reduced activity for a week or so. I haven't died though; I'll be back.

NUFAN's been filling me in with how we're doing in First Class cricket and it sounds like we're really starting to find some form - even I managed to rescue my horrid start to the season with that double ton which is pleasing.

Can anyone update me our own recent OD showings so I don't have to troll though the season thread on dire-lup? :p

Really happy with my bowling form, both in FC and ODIs. Wish I could do better with the bat though.

Very happy with your bowling, too :p

You don't really need to score that many runs with our top 7/8 being so strong in both forms at the moment!

Am I out of the picture for FC as well? Don't seem to be playing much/at all.
You kinda went inactive and so my remedy was to bat deep. It started working so I haven't gotten around to tinkering with it. You'll be playing again though, too quality to leave out active. :p

So, decision needs to be made for the next FC game if we are to continue to bat deep or bring back Ad's for a batsman. Give us more bowling depth. Thoughts?

Damn you Demeza, pipping me by a wicket!

Haha has been an interesting season, to say the least. Cheers! Congrats on making the OD final, too.

Good stuff by the young Morris as well. Promising CWDL future.

Cheers for the sentiments. Good luck for the rest of your career :)
