I'd imagine players will be rotated for a while during the first few FC & OD matches of the season until a solid XI can be picked for each format of the game. From there on, players will be picked based on form and availability as well as the obvious horses-for-courses ordeal. I'll be providing full stats for every player on a regular basis. If anyone knows how in-depth I go when it comes to selections, just ask Andrew (age master). I think I sent he and a few other CW Green members lengthy emails for every single game, sometimes three of them. :p

Something for everyone to keep in mind is that the sims used for FC & OD matches are different from each other, so you can be in awesome form in one game and terrible form in the other - at CW Green, we even had keepers as OD / FC specialists for large parts of the season. This is good as it will help your chances of all making the team in one form of the game if not the other.

I'm sure Wright will lay down some laws on how we're going to go about the selection process etc. For the pre-season warmup games, I'd imagine he'd be doing the most of it? Dunno. *waits for Kyle* :)

I'm liking this team more as it goes on - nice long posts analysing the team, joking around, etc... it's all good, no dramas! Loving it. Oh, and on that note, if anyone has any problems with other members at any point, feel free to take it up with Wright and myself. Same with having any problems with the CW Colts in any other way. If you have any problems with the entire Dev League in general, I'd suggest talking to Age Master as he's our Player's Rep. If you need any more info, just ask. :D
Well, we certainly are in good hands then! :D

Hasn't been a post in here for a few days ... where's the team spirit gone :p ?

Out of interest, what is our team colour ? I rather like purple.

Yeah, that's something I've been wondering about. Something like white, maybe. Boring, I know, but it stops you from feeling like a tosser *envisions playing in pink*

So are we officially CW Yellow now ?
Apparently. Personally I think we should be a proper team, and not known as The Colts as such. Sure we have a lot of new players, and we have some experienced players just like any other new franchise would in any other sport.

The team may be referred to as Yellow, but officially it is still Colts. The Colts is not a reference to inexperience or anything else per se.

Why don't we officially change it ... I would like that very much, because we would feel very much a part of CW. Colts gives the connotation that we are not as important as the other sides, if you know what I mean.

Cricket Web Colts is just as much CW as any other team.

Eventually we're going to run out of acceptable colours to name teams and there must be some branching out then. May as well start now. Judging from the participation of the Colts players so far, I really don't see what the problem is with "fitting in".

Really, what's the difference between the word Blue and the word Colts? Both are just words - just names. Granted the Blues are a superior bunch of cricketers, but we won't get into that now...
