The article the CricSim Mole wrote on it is pretty much spot on, apart from where he said Wilson would be captain. Doing well for NSW before + having a good OD record >>>>> Not playing for NSW before (or playing poorly for NSW before) + having a ridiculously awesome OD record
Yeah, kinda agree. Thing is though, FC performances for NSW shouldn't really count. OD's a completely different ball game. Would you seriously consider Hayes, who's playing for the Saders in the HP?
Read the second part of: Doing well for NSW before + having a good OD record First Class performances for NSW are coming into it, but only in circumstances where players have good OD records. Hayes does not have a good OD record.
Aah, fair enough. But, for example, would you pick Spiers ahead of yourself? Or ignore the best OD batsman in the comp?
That depends on if I class Speirs's OD performances as "good" or not. Lewis certainly falls into that category, for example, but Speirs and Parker are more debatable. I'll be looking into a lot more closely after the final.
For comparison >_> Burridge's 1st go at NSW: The squad might end up looking something like this: 1. DN Boland 2. RG Cribb 3. MC Burridge 4. JP Thornton 5. DW Lewis 6. JP Gonzalez 7. BS Read 8. L Tyson 9. SB Wilson 10. DA Crowley 11. TG Bullpitt However, don’t quote me on that. Burridge's 2nd go: Now it'd probably be.... 1. Cribb 2. Boland 3. Burridge 4. Thornton 5. Herd 6. Read 7. Jones 8. Gonzalez 9. Wilson 10. Crowley 11. Wilkinson The real deal: Rossleigh Trophy Team For Round 1 v GB 1. RG Cribb (5) 2. BS Read (7) 3. DW Lewis 4. BG Herd 5. AJ Parker 6. KD Jones (6) 7. JP Gonzalez (4) 8. JB Dempsey (c, wk) 9. L Tyson (1) 10. TG Bullpitt (3) 11. DA Crowley (2) Hmm.
We really need people to come up with ideas and pretty much take care of themselves. We also need people who are keen to do match reviews as well and take on some of the more menial tasks such as keeping count of player of the year votes etc. If you are keen on doing all that, not just articles, then send Fung or myself a PM.
Guessing does not equal the actual squads, you retards. It's not like I talk to you guys outside the forum and can get inside info, so, while it was a bit off (ignoring Origin players in FC cricket for players with great OD records probably has something to do with it), I think it was somewhat accurate.
