Somerset willfully accepts position in U.K trophy

Somerset cricket manager Guy Kerridge accepted an offer to participate in a U.K trophy, reasoning that his players need game time and that this could be a great chance to see who is worthy. Kerridge spoke to the press today over his decision.

"I think it would be wise if we took in this tournament. We have struggled during the formal season, and I feel this is a perfect opportunity try out my players. I already have thoughts on who I might release, one of whom could be Jimmy Adams. The final decision is in progress and will be released at a later date."

Somerset, who are second last in their division 4, are likely to change the team majorly for the final match of the season.

Great to hear your in mate !

Good Luck!

 

[Umpire Money]

Yorkshire grudgingly accepts


(can we play our rookies or are they at the academy and cant be called back)

 

[nibbs]

Warwickshire will participate provided we get to play Surrey. We'll announce our team once we get confirmation of this...

 

[lord_of_darkness]

The format of this tourney is 1 pool where all teams are in.. so everyone plays each other in a round robin format..

If we have seperate leagues in this ... we will not be able to find out who is truly a good English side.. ( although we are missing 3 english teams with Kent being a main one )

So ofcourse you will play Surrey and everyone else.. and nope no Rookies as .. mine are crap :P

 

[nibbs]

I guess I'm in then.

Warwickshire:
1. D.Howarth
2. A.Adams
3. D.Anderson
4. Z.McDonald (WK)
5. M.Masroor
6. Z.McDonald
7. J.Hockley
8. M.Ealham
9. A.Giles
10. B.Gregson
11. D.Kaneria

Experimental 11 here.

[lord_of_darkness]

Im deciding to have a double round robin format marc...

or do you have any other suggestions that can ensure everyone plays everyone to see who is truly good..?

 

[marc71178]
