Good mix of aggression and accumulation in Team NRI's opening stand with ***** dishing out the runs (likes) and Daemon plodding along. The stability of this partnership is slightly under threat because a) Do we really need Daemon? and b) ***** is considering a move to Bangladesh, but they're not accepting random Indians who fancy them at this point in time.

BOTM winner Jono is the obvious choice for captain. duffer is there to heh when we win. Silentstriker is the token medium pacer who's next in the wheel of mediocrity. weldone the betting man who's currently being investigated for fixing. Hendrix is in because he digs brown chicks, is a vegetarian fast bowler and we are really struggling for numbers. Likewise Dan has been to India once, social had dinner with Modi and Burgey desperately wants to play a test match in Chennai.

Team India's opening partnership has accumulated thousands of runs over the years but vcs is only just making his comeback and hb only plays his shots at the end of the days play. Middle order is very solid with OS the highest run (like) getter in the whole of CW. Bowling is decent however Teja can go missing for extended periods of time, much like his idol Sreesanth. Expect Indiaholic (PEWS' ratings have him as the #1 Indian bowler, so about #52 in the world) to plug away quietly at a length while Shri ****s it up for his team from the other end.


XI's I'd like to see

Banned XI
CW Under 23
CW Over 40
Gambhiring XI
"I supported Guptill in Tests" XI

 

[Burgey]

Have we reversed our batting order?

 

[Shady Slim]

yeah up the under 23's XI

 

[anil1405]

I'd like to see if we can conjure up a team of Proteas XI (non-South African nationals).

A team that support Proteas. To whom Proteas is not just your 2nd preferred team but a team that you support just as passionately as your home team.

Good team anil, though hopefully the two of you are prepared to bowl 45 overs each a day.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

will open the bowling for U23s. I'm a fifth rate Mitchell Johnson imitator.

 

[indiaholic]

Which version of Johnson?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

the whole thing

haha...i've left the list open for others to join in as am not aware of other CW members who support Proteas.

Daemon (wk) will not be collecting your wides so it's going to be extras galore.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

just be ready to dive down leg, I suck at bowling outside off. At the stumps and body all day

 

[honestbharani]

Shri better not be bowling wide **** with me keeping.

The best thing about Team NRI Vs Team India will be the sledging. Will the Daemon "Gandhi" last one day's play?

 

[Dan]

Yeah nah I'm not batting #8 and not bowling for Team RANDI. The obvious solution is to move me to #3 and draft in Marcuss at #4, since we've got history of being a Dravid-Tendulkar partnership.

A CW World Cup could be very interesting indeed. Of regular-ish, current posters (i.e. no drafting in Sinclair, McGlashan or Flem Abusers into the NZ side), what'd a national team look like?

 

[akilana]

haha...i've left the list open for others to join in as am not aware of other CW members who support Proteas.

I will share some of your workload.
