Your side has two of the best opening bowlers going around.

At least in FC cricket anyway, List-A is another story.

We're trying to dress our bowling machine to look human enough so we can play it in List-A matches.

So in other words I have no hope?

Mefinks most teams require more than just opening bowlers.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

 

[Majin]

It would be funny if it wasn't for the fact it'd probably be our best List-A bowler

edit: also, prefer batting at #2 if possible please. I don't know why it makes a difference it just does

 

[Dark Hunter]

Good club, good members, however our members enjoy goofing around a bit. Welcome, btw.

Cheers.

Glad to see I'm getting a go in the Friendly, hopefully have a good start.

 

[Mister Wright]

First warm-up side announced.

 

[Majin]

I'm pumped for the season.

 

[Retox]

Good luck in that pre season game guys!

 

[Matteh]

Team Named...

Just to keep you on your toes.

 

[Majin]

Beast of a batting lineup. Going to be tough going for our seamers.

 

[tadeusz]

Hope to get a bit of form up this preseason

Side named for our opening match versus Blue.

A couple of obvious changes from last season.

Griffen is inactive and has been replaced by Bosco Fitzsimmons who started his career well last season at number three, but showed great promise opening in the pre-season matches.

Law has retired and replaced by Dan Rai, who is fairly dire tbf but we have no other openers in the squad. In all seriousness, Dan has been with us for a while, mainly on the sidelines, and converted to an opener to help us out and will get his shot at making this spot his own.

Dan Towns regains his number 3 position after a fairly ordinary season there last year that was ended by injury. As our most senior batsman, he will be crucial for us.

Butler is the incumbent number 4, and our star (international) batsman. Pure class.

Kerr sees himself promoted a spot after two terrific seasons at number 6. Hopefully he can continue his great start slightly higher in the order.

Fjermestad replaces Jasotharan as wicket-keeper and big talker in the side.

Wilson slots in at 7, same as last season, as our premier all-rounder. Hancock comes in at 8 where he batted excellently last season, giving us a deep batting order, and he'll provide us with a 5th option with the ball.

Weber is the lone spinner in the side, will be looking for a lot more wickets this season compared to last where he bowled well without dominating.

Wright and Thomas take the new ball yet again, as one of the best bowling combinations in CW history. Hopefully this season they'll both fire at the same time, which will be needed if we want to win the title.


To those not picked, do not fret. It's a small matter of waiting.
Players will get deemed inactive over the season, get injured or simply lose form and that's when you'll get your chance.

 

[pinchy81]

dire about not being able to play against my old team yet hope we win

CARN THE COLTS!!!

 

[chooka_nick]

Carn the Colts. I'm absolutely stocked to have made the team for the first game.

 

[Majin]

When I make 100 those fingers I point up to the Colts selection panel a-la Nasser Hussein and the Commentators will be all for you Geg.

Thanks mate. Appreciate the effort, even with the Katich avatar.

 

[Flying V]

Big talker eh? What's that supposed to mean?

 

[Simon]

Interesting to be in the side but not keeping, not all that unhappy but happy enough to have a chance to make the opening position my own.
