    I had a thing in the OP of the regos thread discouraging people from signing up as specialist bowlers.

    Would have Starris in for Faldo too; better bowler and would give the team the weird honour of an allrounder at #11.

    I'll be captaining that team by the end of season 17.

    In hindsight perhaps having a message saying people should sign up as batsmen would have been better.

    From memory, when I signed up as an allrounder people were saying it was unfortunate we had another, that a barman would have been much more in demand.

    How would you say the balance of the site looks at present? Now that we've had some bats like Force come up through the ranks.

    FMD Chewie and Martyn in season 10 batting lineup? You'd have thought the highest ranked batsmen would have been around for longer.

    Had Starris as S12 by mistake.
     
  11. Weeman27bob BE Force

    Yeah it would have been much more useful to have someone on the side, dedicated to pulling pints.
     
  12. Howe JHF Howe

    I could use one of those, aye

    We thank you for attending this edition of 'Howe avoids work'

    Nice. Thought this was best XI for each season based on BS performance though.
     
  15. Raide KN Rask

    Yea, yea, yea.

    I saw the typo after I posted, but knowing this place, I didn't think I'd have time to edit it on my phone.

    A barman would be pretty handy though. :laugh:

    That would be a fantastic team... But Ritchie.

    I think I warned people off "primarily bowling roles". We actually don't have many pure allrounders on the site tbh. You signed up as one and then changed to a bowling allrounder later I think?

    It gets a bit weird. We have a shortage of BS bowlers, but more of a shortage of ALC batsmen. This seems to come about a lot, and I think it's because ALC teams often have a bloke in there who's batting top 5 and a frontline bowler, so they're more likely to want to bat deep. Specialist #8 batsmen are more useful than specialist sixth bowling options.

    Given we have a third grade now though I'm not overly worried about getting new sign-ups to balance out ALC so I've put a thing in encouraging bowlers, hoping we can develop some for BS Season 14.

    Surely one of them would be in the team ahead of me?

    Edit: Ha, thought they both had far better FC records than they actually do.

    Yeah think I was discouraged from signing as a specialist bowler then you changed me later?
     
  20. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah I was pretty lenient with people who wanted to become more bowling orientated around that time because I'd discouraged bowling signups to help people get signed up fro ALC teams and that was probably a mistake.
