CW Draft League

[Himannv]

Sensational Himannv.

BTW You have three 'spearheads' to your bowling attack. So who do you reckon is the 'alpha male' of the three?

(Note: I've already decided that splitting most of our teams is bordering on impossible.)

I've always felt that Donald plays the role of a spearhead perfectly. However, it's hard to look past Ambrose when it comes to an alpha male. He can dominate and intimidate the batsmen better than the other two I reckon. He'll share the new ball with Donald and I'll have Tyson coming in at first change with his extra pace, ferociousness and tenacity so that the batsmen have no respite.

How was the Don with the gloves? Efficient?

 

[kyear2]

Always get those two mixed up.

 

[Jager]

6/12, no clashes so far.

 

[Red]

Always get those two mixed up.

I captain at a very high level (local grade 3rds ) and I always get it wrong writing it on the whiteboard at selection!

 

[Valer]

How was the Don with the gloves? Efficient?

He did actually keep (rarely) domestically.

The Home of CricketArchive

Top scored too.

 

[Jager]

Moyle gets the stumping in the second innings though :s

 

[Red]

He did actually keep (rarely) domestically.

The Home of CricketArchive

Top scored too.

That's interesting, well in to his career, and he was captain of SA.

Wonder what the circumstances were? Regular keeper injured in warm up maybe? The game was in NSW, so I guess they couldn't just call on someone local to fill in.
