In the last game we considered promoting you to open, but then figured we'd give you the gloves. We didn't want our wicketkeeper also facing the new ball.
Your loss, our gain! :P

A rare FC victory :D
well played blues
that seemed a well balanced side and really the first time the bowlers and the batsman stood up in the same match....

I have a quick question...is there any way to improve your ability during the season? Or are you the same ability all season long, only form changes?

Not during the season, but next season there may be a system instituted.

A side point, you were extremely close to being selected for the last game. Fuller and Demeza can attest to that, as they gave input in the selection.

Very good performance guys. The side looks great, the only trouble now is working out who is going to let Patrick back into the side. :D

OK, good to know the selectors still have me in mind...

So apart from heading down to the nets every day and shouting the selectors the occasional beer there's not much I can do huh *shrugs* oh well, back to the gym and the nets... :D

Potential Smash XI

SG Fitzsimmons
A Cloete
D Jellett +
A Crampton
MW de Silva
SE Fuller
TC Halsey
LA Camps
SC Popat
R Harris
NL Patrick

12th Man: DP Tucker

2 specialist bowlers, 3 allrounders, 4 batsmen, Jellett back to keep wicket and pinch hit at the top and Harris back to get a run out. Halsey promoted up the order due to his SR of 124podd this season in OD.

Fitzsimmons and Cloete opening the batting due to their experience and general aggression.

Thoughts?

interesting side, the lack of front line bowlers could be a problem, but we can certainly do well with that team, i look foward to opening the batting with andy...

I guess i'd be too expensive bowling in such a game.....

Plus, i'm not in the one dayer selection viewing anymore, anyway.

Looks good. Too many allrounders is my personal opinion still, but you already know that ;)
