I would rather like you not to select Wright or Hancock, as they're currently training with the "A" team. Give some other guys a go.

 

[Loony BoB]

Ah, no problem, I was just taking a leaf out of the other sides as I noticed they were playing their A team members. Back to the drawing board!

EDIT: However, with Thomas, Hancock AND Wright all out, it doesn't leave us with many seam options...

how about me as i have only just started and needs to debut in both forms

 

[Dizzy #4]

Wow, do we have enough players?

It could get critcial if we didn't!

 

[pinchy81]

me pick me

 

[Burpey]

My seam ups have a bit of nip.

Blue picked two A team players because they only had 7 available + two rookies.

As Ryan Dunn has kindly pointed out, he's available (and a medium pacer). So is leg-spinner (you guessed it) Rhys Williams, and Tom Bowman was assigned to you in Season X. Hopefully that leaves you with enough players.

Not as much as my MP, But you're keeping anyway!

 

[Majin]

Looking forward to it, should be a good game.

 

[Travis_Teh]

No Jaso, you can't open the bowling

 

[Dizzy #4]

I never asked

 

[Loony BoB]

Oh, we have enough players, I just like having four seamers in the team when possible, since we'll already be playing two spinners. But that's just a preference and I'm sure we'll get by with McKern, Bowman and Nayak alongside Weber and Rai. It'll mean we'll have a good strong batting lineup, too...

You`re gonna die.

If you don't get picked for Colts, there should be plenty of spots in Black, IIRC.

 

[pinchy81]

so i've heard

 

[Loony BoB]

The adjusted side has been posted into the Eng 'A' tour thread.

Bowman and Das come in for Hancock and Wright, with Nayak taking on a more active role with the ball.

Very much looking forward to seeing Rai and Weber bowl in tandem, personally, and of course looking forward to facing up to England again... I didn't do too badly when the English last toured here. Will be a big test for us without our famed seam attack of Wright, Thomas and Hancock. Both bowlers and batsmen will have to step up.
