I have never scored 3 consecutive ducks...in fact I've only scored 1 duck this season and that was my 1st for about 4 years.

No I'm going to threaten Langeveldt if he doesn't sim me more realistically. Look at my stats...5 NOs in 9 innings...tell you something?
Yes, you bat for yourself rather than the team! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Since we only have 4 overs per pair and I also score 24 runs on average each time I go out I don't think it's that...try again please :)

Well Rik you have to remember that this is indoor cricket we are talking about..

I have played it and it is much easier to hit straight sixes, so maybe your batting record is inflated a bit over those who always play outdoors... And I have normally used you in an attacking role..

I'm playing outdoors later this year for the 1st time in a while. Also, it does not make hitting 6s easier, if you mis-hit one then your caught and out, simple as that. It doesn't make it easier, it is a requirement of indoor cricket to hit straight, if you don't then you can be caught off the side wall which only counts for 1 run anyway...

Oh and "attacking role" doesn't mean you turn the "agression selector" up to 6 without letting me get my eye in ;)

3-4 times this season I was responsible for 50% of the team's runs...so I do, in fact, bat for the team :P

You must have a really crappy team Rik. They must be so happy to have Bradman's reincarnate to bat for them....:frog:

3rd place in the league, hardly crap. Anyway those innings were 45* 43*and 42*(made up of 2 innings). You score more in 4 overs...

As for being Bradman, I was averaging 99 after 4 games but then I got a 1st baller when I was pushed up to open. There's a lesson there, I'm sure of it.

i'll never get dropped from this team, the amount of runs & wickets I have taken surely puts me as #1 All-rounder in the team.

Not to mention your ego...:rolleyes:

Everyone will get dropped every so often, it's called a squad rotation policy.

Alright stop the handbags all of you, its not good for team morale..
Rik, you might find yourself "rotated" soon just like other people have been

Tim, you are right, you have been doing a lot of work bowling and batting....But form is temporary, only class is permanent, and you will have to prove yourself some more..

Yup, but hopefully some others might be "rotated" too ;)
