ICC Sim League V

[honestbharani]

I will say allow 1 blacklisted player for each combined squad instead of 2.

 

[kingkallis]

Obama should make plenty of runs.

Will make sure to have Trump as the umpire when he comes to bat.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Naming tomorrow. Too many sub clauses of rules today.

 

[Teuton]

Anzacs to be named later

 

[Teuton]

I need a bit more time. Srb picking 10 batsmen and no keeper or spinner really threw my plans.
Also I am probably too late but I didn't think 2 blacklisted players was too many as combined teams still have to play 11 and by definition now 10 of my 11 will be worse the than the entire 14 of the teams that have first crack at the national teams. Not sure how it compares but I only have 4 eligible batsmen averaging over 30.

Good looking team there Teuton, but at the moment you have three players from the blacklist in there (Hadlee, Katich & Ryder).

If you're looking to strengthen your batting, why not swap Ryder & Katich for players such as Slater, Blewett or even David Hookes?

EDIT: Or Mark Richardson!

 

[Teuton]

Ugh i must have tuned out before getting to the end of the list and just assumed barely adequate players wouldn't be there.

Definitely need 2 blacklist players to be competitive

 

[jimmy101]

Not sure if we're gonna get any more people joining up than what we have now anyway, so what if we just allow the combined teams to keep 1 blacklisted player, but divided the ROW team up like this (mainly so we can just get started here)...

South Africa goes to Teuton - SANZA XI (Access to batting options such as Wessels & Jimmy Cook. Even Dave Richardson is an option behind the stumps).

West Indies goes to Samuel - Euro-Caribbean XI (Gomes, Gray, Lawson, Best, Roach, Samuels & Pollard are all unselected).

Kenya & Zimbabwe go to Shri - Africa/Asia XI (Tikolo, Odoyo, Olonga, Brain, Blignaut & Guy Whittall are still sitting on the bench. Don't forget the Afghans.).

And I'll grab Bangladesh if no-one wants them.

 

[Teuton]

Ok then, will have to change my team name but will be worth it to slot Wessels into my top order. Will post a new squad when I have had a chance to review the full list of SA players

There was mediocrity all around, so I just wanted to have a deep batting.
