Provincial Second XI games?

    Clearly Mittens come back in to replace Asia 2nd XI.

    What are the Mittens?

    Anything that gives me a go at rep cricket is a good idea :p

    Surprised you weren't advocating a 'clone Reddlapalli' campaign, there, Heef.

    Seeing as I'm a regular for GB now this just seems shit...

    Well, that's a good 2nd best. Tozzeh Cloning.

    Best of the Rest XI - Players that weren't involved in that year's PC and were therefore picked to play against New Zealand in Season 8 iirc.

    Trouble is, who would be left unpicked in any 2nd XI anyway? Myself, clearly. The dregs of the Asian team who can't make their first XI - so Captain, for example.

    :troll:

    Phlegm? Corbin (that's Jennings, ftr)? Scoble? Whicker? Howe?

    They can't though, because Mittens only playing NZ would make it impossible to determine their overall standard. These teams will all play each other once so you can determine a fair quotient for the standard of each team.

    I'm against it due to it taking away from earning a "rep" game, but like Alec said, it has been tarnished enough that it would make no difference.

    It is essentially another BS and ALC comp running in parallel, just different team make-ups.

    It would be pretty homo to do it imo. Players have to earn to play another game in the week. Not just make more teams up for shunts to play

    FTR, I don't care how many people think it's shit. I just want to know if enough people would be interested to make it worthwhile. So the difference between someone saying they'd gauge their eyes out and saying they probably wouldn't reallly follow it is 0 to me.
     
  15. Andato BJT Manera

    Exactly. Players won't care about not making South or North as it is just three games or so, while they will be playing up to 20-25 games anyways.
     
  16. Number 11 CJ Downes

    Pretty much your answer.
     
  17. Ari PM Jackson

    I would probably still follow it regardless of disagreeing with it.
     
  18. Eds E Ames

    I'd probably gauge my eyes out, ftr.
     
  19. AVA T Delonge

    I'd probably gauge my eyes out, and then follow it anyway.
     
  20. Jabba HJ Bots

    I'd probably follow players who are going to put pressure on my position.
