The Blue Thread

[Adamc]

Will be a bit rough if Nath gets dropped, just needs to find some form. I guess that means Fuller will share the new ball, seeing as Camps discriminates against medium-pacers.

 

[KennyD]

I thought he discriminated against slow bowlers.

Supposed spinners who don't spin it.

Looks like your duck crown will be mine in another couple of games, David

Aye, I'll be a little sad to see it go, one less record I hold

Although on the bright side I won't hold it any more

I'm not sure if anyone will ever take it off me (when i get it!) at the rate i'm going.

Mind you, 32 of my 59 have been goldens .... that's rather impressive.

Word on the street is that if Kexing Su stays around, he might give you a run for your money.

Maybe even Rich Edmunds.

Kexing Su may call me a n00b though

Just for you I ran some tests. after 108 tests
Kexing Su averaged 0.52 (90 runs)
TJ Demeza averaged 0.15 (26 runs)
RE Edmunds averaged 0 ('ll let you work out the runs here)

Mind you these are mostly played on grade minefields. Things differ when grounds are changed.

Har har, it would appear Edmunds doesn't even use a bat. Must try and hit the ball with his ear

 

[Travis_Teh]

So, were we going to go after a keeper ? Or are we happy with Pete being emergency keeper inboth forms if Crampton becomes injured?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The problem with acquiring a 'keeper is that we'd have to trade one of Smith, Currie or Cribb. Not prepared to let go of any of the 3 tbh. Either that or we need Verghese active.

Why trade them, .... use Verghese for trade bait!
I picture both of Currie and Cribb being first team regulars.

Hence the Verghese activity comment. Green won't take an inactive Reuben. Not sure why he's inactive though, he's on CW quite often these days.

I think McKern had a real lean run of ducks at some point - during the off season (season 9-10) no less - that made me think he could give Trav & David a run for their money in that area. Since then he's cleaned up his lack of batting skills a bit though and I believe scored some good runs in the charity games.

 

[Travis_Teh]

I wish I could clean up my batting ..... well, hit the ball some times.
It works somewhat okay in the OD game, walking towards square leg and trying to hit over the bowlers head. Mind you, I can only slog over midwicket

WHy'd he sign up if he wasn't going to be active?

that's a shot Murali whould've been proud to see.

He is rather inspirational.

 

[Smudge]

When do I become eligible again for Blues following the under-19s debacle? My bowling was WELL off form.

 

[Smudge]

Never mind - I've checked the Grade Cricket sub-forum.
