The Blue Thread

[Noble One]

Big loss today, well beaten by some top class spin bowlers.

My own form needs to improve, first impressions count. Really hoping to guarantee a backup pace-bowler spot for Blue.

(along with the off-spinning all-rounder MA "The Old Jeremiah" Cannon),

Good to see you're up to date with your sig there.

Dinu a legend. Excellent warmup, that.

 

[chaminda_00]

Reckon everyone should go into the friendlies thread and laugh at Black. We may never get a chance again this season.

Shows how fragile teams can be once their god like opening partnership is broken hah.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Pretty happy with my warmup performances. Got a nice hit out in both forms.

Dinu's bowling was ridiculous.

What's are team gonna look like for the opening FC match?

First FC XI

Going with the majority of the FC team from last season. Mamesh returning to Blue replacing Pete, Loganathan, Cannon and Crowther to debut.

Playing two spinners this game as Fardin historically takes spin. Cannon also to provide additional depth at 8 to alleviate our long tail, hopefully.

Permanent spinners spot is something we've always needed to fill, after Tom left for Green. Sudeep took a lot of wickets last year, so Crowther and Cannon have a large role one would think this season.

A couple of the rookies very unlucky thus far, due to massive pre-season performances. Fear not, time will come.

Ad's will be a big loss this year.

 

[Noble One]

Good luck boys. Looks a very strong side, now up to us rookies to keep pressure on the first XI.

 

[Number 11]

Good luck boys. Looks a very strong side, now up to us rookies to keep pressure on the first XI.

I'll try.

 

[Luffers]

Looking good. 12th man is pleasing. I'll hopefully crack the starting team at some point over the season.

 

[NUFAN]

Wow. Pretty excited to be given the extra responsibility batting at number 3. Looking forward to the match.

 

[dinu23]

good luck guys!

 

[chaminda_00]

Really looking forward to my debut. Hopefully I can make the most of it.

 

[Travis_Teh]

Wow. Pretty excited to be given the extra responsibility batting at number 3. Looking forward to the match.

Yeah, i'm not too sure how it's going to go. Moved Stephen out of 3, back to opening, and dropping Sean down to 4 instead of opening as well to cover the loss of Cribb. Bit of a shuffle, hope it pans out.

 

[Travis_Teh]

Really looking forward to my debut. Hopefully I can make the most of it.
