    You are pretty gun tbf.
     
  2. Number 11 CJ Downes

    Well I've definitely got another 14 games to spend in ALC. So I'll be getting close.
     
  3. Shri G Shriram

    Ineligible for the north academy team and never picked for the main north team despite being the 6th best allrounder. Fuck it I am retiring from the North Vs South competition!:p

    AR ranking shouldn't be taken into account :p. Torres is 12th in it :p

    If Torres is the 12th best All Rounder on cricsim, then I'll shave my eyebrows.
     
  6. Eds E Ames

  7. 99* JJ Ritchie

  8. Cevno IV Narang

  9. Eds E Ames

    If I was selector, I'd go with this side.

    1. IV Narang (5)
    2. CJ Downes
    3. S Verigotta (\_/)
    4. TJ Clough
    5. S Das+
    6. HBK Teja
    7. JA Chewie (\_/)
    8. KG Rogers (4)
    9. SJ Cambridge (1)
    10. J McDougal (2)
    11. MJ Edwards (3)

    I know Cribb seems to think that Dawson > Downes, but I really think that difference is minimal. But Downes is far more likely to actually do something in the future, and considering the point of these games, I think it would be wise to play Downes. You could even argue that Downes would be a better pick if you ignore that, but I won't.

    Das to keep due to him being the most active of the non-bowlers. If the wicket-keeper-sim was at all realistic, I'd have Downes, but it sounds like past performances don't effect it at all, so Das gets that.

    Thoughts?

    Shunt side.

    I feel like I am getting altitude sickness at 9 :p But it looks alright. I think Zohaib showed a bit this season, and I think season 12 he will be almost at BS especially if the league expands a bit more. But he probably doesn't fit the balance really well.
     
  12. Eds E Ames

    Yeah, it was either Edwards or Ikram, but I thought that Verigotta, Chewie and Narang (and possibly even Das if Downes keeps) would be able to cover the spinning duties.
     
  13. Das09 S Das

    Narang would be keeping as he has better ratings than me. He kept wickets for Asia 2nd XI as well.
     
  14. Cevno IV Narang

    Eddie/Graham would be keeping tbh.
     
  15. Das09 S Das

    Eddie will be playing for North Side. And Graham made his BS debut before S9 FFS.
     
  16. Eds E Ames

    He needs to bowl.

    Graham is ineligible, and Eddie is playing for North.
     
  17. stupersteve03 SJ Cambridge

    Cevno being the better bowling and possibly needing him for that, should not be given the gloves.
     
  18. Das09 S Das

    Well Asia needed his bowling as well but the he had to keep as he had better ratings than me. Dunno whether he has better than Downes or not.
     
  19. stupersteve03 SJ Cambridge

    yeah this is what I mean by not fitting into the balance. We will need the three pace bowlers IMO. Shame we don't have MF :p
     
  20. stupersteve03 SJ Cambridge

    I think we can better afford to have you fail at keeping then not have him bowling.
