Tour To Australia !! - News , Views , Results

[lord_of_darkness]

Well the Cricket Web Board of Cricket Control had a long meeting and the itenary from the Australian Cricket Board hasnt come in yet so thats not confirmed..

But however the Board and the Captain had a long discussion about the new sim and the teams depth.. decided to name 20 probables for the tour to australia... which will be cut down to a 14 man strong team..

Press release from an interview with Co-Chairman of CWBCC Lord of Darkness / Reuben :

" Well im more than happy to confirm this tour to Australia.. and CWXI and the Dev teams have been changing and continue to develop hard.. most of the following players have already stamped their name on the sheet from past times.. however the new names have been performing well in Dev A and we could be in for a few suprises when the Final 14 CWXI squad is named to tour Australia ,
It will be a tough Tour.. the Australians are the best in current form in world cricket.. the boast many world class players and can easily topple teams with their aggression, team work and individual brilliance..however this is more of a learning tour for us. Australia would probably try and test out some new players but the squad is unknown as for now.
It will be an exciting tour for sure "

PY - Middle Order Batsmen

Why have I been relegated from Top Order? Is it tactical? I will arrive in my private helicopter sometime tomorrow

SPANDEX WILL BE PROVIDED

Not again

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Not again

You know you like it. It was Manuel Ramprakash's special request.

You will likely be rooming with Neil during the camp.

 

[lord_of_darkness]

Co Chairman Reuben just announced that he has receieved confirmation from Heinekken that they will sponsor us training shorts.. so grey shorts to all..

Grey is the colour of the team clothing..

So liam can do his spandex

Oh MAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN, his singing is atrocious......:rolleyes:

As long as we don't have to cook food because Neil is infamous for poisoning people :O

 

[lord_of_darkness]

we will have to arrange the food as a team and cook it together.. to incorporate team work

 

[Neil Pickup]

We probably shouldn't have (see the diary in a few minutes)

 

[Rik]

Although I've not been picked I'm travelling with the squad...seemed like too much fun to turn down!

 

[bugssy]

bugs very happy with the news he has made the training squad.

spandex is even better, cant wait o be given the chance to perform in ozz.



and Heinekken woohooo

 

[marc71178]

It was Manuel Ramprakash's special request.

Wondered where he'd gone!

 

[marc71178]

The CW bar offer their sponsorship, allowing individuals to be sponsored by their beverage of choice (since Heineken = Cat's urine)

They also offered Chef de Groot to cook for the team, but I can't cope without him if I am to be away, and the PCB are also wanting a piece of him!

after my relatively poor tour of england im happy to be in the train on squad. if i make the final 14 i will be pushing to lift my average and hopfully help the side win a few tests against the strong aussie line up.

and marc, im not sure if chef de groot is welcome around me yet, i still havent forgiven him for that "little incident".

 

[lord_of_darkness]

Glad to see everyone getting with each other long before a long tour / training
