Trial matches

I hope there would be more than one trial game. Would like to see how a few of my reserves go.

I don't think I'm ever going to have to worry about bowling options, what with Hussey/Bopara/Sewhag providing more than passable part time options.
Your team is easily the fan favourite of the competition. No tail, and yet so many bowling options.

If the conditions are seam-friendly, get Trott on before Panesar but probably after a second spell for whichever opening bowler makes way for Freddie. if possible.

How many trial games will we be doing? I'd like to try out all 16 players.

Anyway, here's my line up for the first trial match, I know it's slightly unbalanced, but I want to try out all my bowlers.

1. Michael Carberry
2. AB de Villiers* +
3. Asad Shafiq
4. Ryan ten Doeschate (7)
5. Suresh Raina (8)
6. Ravindra Jadeja (6)
7. Ravichandran Ashwin (5)
8. Pat Cummins (2)
9. Saeed Ajmal (4)
10. Aizaz Cheama (3)
11. Mohammad Asif (1)

Bench: Suraj Randiv, Craig Kieswetter, Andrew Strauss, Gautam Gambhir

Special instructions: Only bowl ten Doeschate and Raina if the first 6 bowlers are doing absolutely nothing.

Can I change my trail line-up based on my last two picks?

1. S Robson
2. J Botha (5)
3. N Compton (8)
4. U Salahuddin
5. F du Plessis (7)
6. B Stokes (6)
7. D Vilas (+)
8. N Rimmington (2)
9. S Bond (3)
10. G Dockrell (4)
11. M de Lange (1)

Resting: Nevill (replacing Vilas in Game 2), Bravo (for Salahuddin), Cook (for Robson), Wagner (for Rimmington), Boult (for de Lange).'

Instructions: Share the ball around, even if someone is running through them. Testing out Compton's bowling, want to see how rubbish he is.

When I get the database I sim with the lineups I have. There's no special plan for these, they'll just come out as-is.

Will be when cricketarchive puts this week's county fixtures onto their site properly.
Which I believe they've done now (they better have anyway *shakes fist*).

Since as I have no intention of sleeping or leaving the house tonight, the plan is:

1. Watch Game of Thrones
2. Sim cric
3. Make database

Spark should have the thing by tomorrow morning his/our time.

Awesome.

Would quite like to play someone full strength, or close to, personally.
