LOL, it was probably done as a joke!

 

[Cloete]

nah it wasn't. b-coz they then had to re-do every certificate again

T_C, would you count yourself as a proper batsman, or just a hitter?

Probably a hitter in the style of someone like Shaun Pollock. In other words, I have correct technique and can hit the ball a long way but I wouldn't be good enough to bat higher than say 6 or 7. I've opened before but that was to get the scoreboard moving in chasing a huge total.

So I'd say I look relatively correct when I bat but I couldn't bat in the top 6 as a general rule.

T_C: 138 k's at 17!? You must have been down at the gym every morning.

Actually no I wasn't. I've never been to the gym regularly. I've just got very strong and supple shoulders. I still say the speed gun was broken, though. My average speed was around 130km/h at 17. In fact, right after I was clocked at training, I was supposed to get onto an intensive gym session to bulk up, get fit and gain at least 10km/h. I gave up cricket to study instead.

Eyes won't like that!

 

[Neil Pickup]

Well he is high up in CW. So its only good that i put him there! Anyway if he doesnt reply to this soon I will drop him

Some of us need to get up early in mornings, so can't be online at 1am...

I'm more than happy to take the number 11 spot, with a career batting average of 2.27, I think I'm suited to it (note to anyone batting with me: keep me off strike!!)

Most people can chuck.:P :P

Great comment!

I can only presume you didn't get it! :P

Sorry mate but you missed the boat

We seem to have a lot of Leggies here.

You can never have enough Leg Spinners, they are all great.

 

[Langeveldt]

Right the first match will be played using ICC and ICED to edit the teams! One team will have to have all Ajit Agarkars.


If I could have some approximate career averages from you guys that would be good. Or I will make them up!

 

[krkode]

Well, while I played intra school test matches, the scores ranged about 100-150 and I had a hec load of not outs cuz I didn't always open, cuz I opened the bowling. Scores like 20*, 30*, 35 were usually around my area. My highest was 57 (which was quite an achievement then)

 

[Langeveldt]

Right then the final XI for the first test against AA

1.KrKrode
2.Broncoman
3.Langeveldt (capt)
4.Greg Blewett
5.Tamara
6.Tim
7.Andre (wk)
8.Rik
9.Rich_2001
10.Top_Cat
11.Neil Pickup

Kim
WCC_Somerset will both be substitutes. If I do another test in the future I will use a rotation policy...

 

[Langeveldt]

The test match will start tonight, full scorecards and match reports will follow.

SO get your approximate career averages into me ASAP!

 

[Rik]

Fast bowler and number 8 hitter here. My creditentials: South Australia U/19's and U/17's tournaments when I was 16. I was clocked at 138km/h when I was 17 so maybe I'm quick enough?

Sorry mate, I nicked your number 8 spot! Basically on the grounds of potential and a career average of well over 30 in indoor cricket over the last 7 years. So here's my role:

I'll come in at number 8 and do a Flintoff (sorta because I score fast, hit straight and quite often time the ball a la Flintoff, oh and hit it as far if I get bored enough), because Langeveldt decided there are too many spinners in the squad I'll have to bowl Medium-Fast which isn't as effective as my Left Arm Spin so I'll do a Mark Butcher role and bowl a few overs. Then I'll show off at backward point

 

[Kiwi]

Average since 2000:

Batting: 1881 runs @ 30.84
Bowling: 70wickets @11.41

 

[Rik]

Average since 2000:

Batting: 1881 runs @ 30.84

And to think we will only pick you to bat! Oh well, we have to let master bowler Neil run through the opposition 1st! :saint:

 

[Langeveldt]

The cricketweb.net XI - 168 all out (Tim 46, Andre 24)
