CW "A" Team in India and Pakistan

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Experience shows our top batsmen can bat on subcontinental pitches (see the success of Cloete, Simon and Blewy), but our seamers struggle mightily. Add that to the utter cluelessness of some players against quality spin the Dev League this season (whether it be attacking it or keeping it out) and there's much need for this tour.

CW is clearly lacking class spinners.

dont think they are touring at the same time, could be wrong though. behind weber there arn't too many spin options, Lord maybe? or Markus's Part timers?

Dave Richards' spin isn't half bad, either.

 

[age_master]

meh dont worry about what we say (personally i just couldn't think of who is a spinner at the time) , im sure the selectors haven't forgotten you

 

[superkingdave]

The 'A' tour sounds fantastic, would love to be considered, certainly looks the trip of a lifetime for a spinner.

 

[superkingdave]

you must be odds on for at least the List A mate

seconded.

 

[Cloete]

Don't worry, I feel that way too Sean

 

[marc71178]

Surely Halsey will go with the Main Squad? Meh, all will be revealed...

I would guess he'd be given a tour first to get some rhythm.

 

[marc71178]

Indeed not - I'd put him 3rd in line personally.

 

[chaminda_00]

i certainly think Halsey will be touring, Weber would also be likley as the 2nd spinner.

There are some quality spinners under Halsey at CW Blue , if we really that short, but im sure their is spenty of quality spinners around who will ripe through the India A and Pakistan A sides if given the chance, have some faith guys

That is why Nath has more votes than you. Fine selector you'd make

Sarcastic or not, that`s really not neccessary Sean.

 

[Robertinho]

Nath, stop trying so hard to appear professional and mature... (Haha, not calling you a tryhard though, but that seems like a very out of character post from you )

Plus I don't think it was that bad a comment...It was said in jest, and Steds was obviously upset he was overlooked

 

[Nate]

...and Steds was obviously upset he was overlooked

It all makes sense now!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Looks like it should be an interesting tour with plenty of cricket.

*check who steds voted for*

Steds would be a certainty for selection if i had anything to do with it


nah seriously every spinner has a shot, assuming Halsey is selected i reakon your very likely to tour, if Halsey isn't picked id say your definate.

interestingly for th eOD stats if you take Neil out than the best spinners in terms of averages were like Rai and Cloete, which i must say is worrying.

 

[superkingdave]

*checks who our coach is - realises averages dont mean anything in OD*
