Some of the others did very well too. In Himannv's case, for instance, he had multiple players performing; we only had one.

 

[Jarquis]

Ahhh yeah
Kingkallis getting Mussey is ghey

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

So, with Pietersen out I get Morgan do I?

 

[Howe_zat]

So, with Pietersen out I get Morgan do I?

Assuming he's accepted then yeah. I'd take that tbh.

 

[NUFAN]

Nah your team has too many batsman.

Surely the team who actually picked Mussey gets Mussey, while you get Ferguson or Nannes.

FTR, It doesn't really bother me.

If we follow the rules, I get Mussey.

I was not allowed Devon Smith when Barath was left out so this is simple. Isn't it?

 

[marc71178]

Yes, think NUFAN is just winding you up.

 

[Jarquis]

I personally think that the current rule is fine for when a player that was unavailable to be picked comes into the squad but in the cases of Mussey and Morgan both of them were originally selected by teams so I think they should go to those teams.
We all had the opportunity to pick Mussey and Morgan but only certain teams did so, so they should be theirs. Nobody could pick Bopara on Ferguson so it makes sense that they just fill in the gaps so to speak.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Disagree Markarse as you then have the added complexity as to who earns Bopara's or Ferguson's points for the tournament so far. The rule agreed was that you get an injury then you get their replacement. As I recall, I did suggest that you picked XI - you keep that XI whether they take the field or not. Would have made things much simpler.

 

[Jarquis]

Well clearly I have Bopara's points thus far and whoever has Ferguson gets his.

As I see it for my team the lineup was
5. Morgan (Bopara).
Bopara was effectively subbing for Morgan for me. Morgan wasn't unpicked or became reavailable etc. Bopara was just filling in.
Now Morgan is back Bopara moves back out and replaces whoever has a hole in their squad left by Pietersen.

 

[Blaze 18]

HeathDavisSpeed is absolutely right. We'd have been much better off without all this crap about replacements and substitutes. Anyway, as per the rules, KingKallis gets Michael Hussey and HDS-FOTW get Eoin Morgan.

 

[Jarquis]

Forgive me if I'm wrong but when the rules were made I don't think the possibility of Morgan/Hussey being reselected was considered. In light of such developments I implore that the rules be reconsidered. It's logical ffs.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

The rule was that you get the substitute. The fact that this situation wasn't considered is neither here nor there, we all knew the rules. To change them now would be counter-intuative. If we want to change the rules now, I'd be advocating that no one gets a substitute at all as their success or failure is purely arbitrary and nothing to do with your quality of selection. If you picked an injury prone crock, sobeit.

Stick with the rules and make do, windbag.

NB. Windbag is my new catch all non-insulting insult, so please do not be offended.
