I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Inspired by Graham, although trying my best not to copy him.
I was thinking about doing a different side, but I'd just lose interest if it weren't New Zealand.
I loaded up the game and did all the usual, and got to squad selection for The Tour of Zimbabwe.
My XVIII for the tour.
Openers:
S Fleming (captain)
T McIntosh
J Marshall
M Papps
Bat:
N Astle
P Fulton
J How
H Marshall
J Ryder
Wicket Keepers:
B McCullum (WK)
L Vincent (WK)
All Rounders:
S Styris
J Oram
Quicks:
S Bond
J Franklin
C Martin
K Mills
Spin:
D Vettori
Our first match was a 3 day game against Mashonaland.
Here's how the lineups compare. (FC averages)
We didn't bowl well at all. A lot of drop catches and LBW shouts. 3 days though isn't enough time IMO. Bond got Chibhabha first ball of their second innings and the very next ball was a dropped catch. Argh!
Next match: First test v Zimbabwe.
