No Douglas Jardine?

And Alf Gover. Fast Bowler with 1555 FC wickets @ 23 who would help with the overload of spinners in your side.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Just realised that Pritchard never played a Test for NZ, unfortunately you'll have to replace him Michael. Also, I've noticed you have two 'keepers in this squad (Lowry & James), there's no need for a reserve WK in this comp so you can replace one of them if you like.

I'll replace Pritchard with Fen Cresswell and I'll also replace Lowry with Giff Vivian

So we're pretty much ready to go here. I've helped MM out with his Surrey squad as he said earlier that he would accept those names I put forth a few pages back. He'd be mad not to give Jardine a run though.

Atm srbshshk seems to have dropped off the face of the earth, so if anyone out there wants to take India I'll accept it & we can get rolling.

Anyone else who wants to make any late changes please let me know.

 

[Shri]

I'll take India and post a squad later tonight.

 

[Teuton]

Yeah I will give it a miss this time around

That's 4 spinners (Fender, Eric Bedser, Laker and Lock). Plus Freddie Brown bowled both medium pace and legspin.

 

[Jarquis]

Pretty happy that mine is the only side jimmy hasn't critiqued

 

[jimmy101]

That's 4 spinners (Fender, Eric Bedser, Laker and Lock). Plus Freddie Brown bowled both medium pace and legspin.

Indeed, Freddie brown is a leg-spin bowler in-game.

 

[mr_mister]

Alright Eric B to the bench. Kinda assumed he bowled pace like his bro

Hobbs

May
Jardine
Fishlock
Brown
Fender

I like your squad. Watkins, like you said was unlucky, and perhaps van Ryneveld too, but I think you've got a quality combination.

This team only has one pace bowler as well. Did you get a chance to look at the squad I posted for you? Happy for you to participate as always bro, but I'll need you to confirm your 15 man squad.

 

[mr_mister]

Thought Freddie Brown was a pace bowler

If so, trade Johnson out for him.
