    Ofcourse it would.
     
  2. Cribbage RG Cribb

    O'Brien played in the 2010 season which is as recent as any other English domestic player. He'll be fine.
     
  3. morgieb MC Burridge

    Plus Amir has played FC cricket recently too - he should be fine as well.
     
  4. Athlai JJD Heads

    Wouldn't want the cheat in my team personally but he should still be a quality player.
     
  5. morgieb MC Burridge

    Yeah well Salman Butt's playing for someone else :ph34r:

    So when is this thing going to start.
     
  7. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    Haha. He doesn't rate my team despite having half a dozen Yarpies. Albie Morkel, Heino Kuhn, Zander de Bruyn, Stiaan van Zyl, Dale Benkenstein and Friedel de Wet.

    Sorry Hunter , Im backing HDS (Sorry about that your name is too long) to win.

    I'd say.....

    Beers: Good, hasn't got a lot of bowling though.
    Claymores: See above, change bowling for batting however.
    Hurricanes: Has some stars but the lineup is very hit & miss/past it.
    Redwood Phoenix: Great batting, bowling's a bit of an issue however.
    Porposies: OK, but it seems to have too many backup players. Do rate it a bit though.
    Rebels: Has a few stars but is otherwise pretty meh.
    Lighthouses: Like the side but it seems too injury prone (particularly the seam bowling)
    Rusty's XI: Doesn't inspire me but has a few good players. Reminds me a bit like the British Boozers tbh.
    Panthers: Looks good, but not amazing.
    Hornets: Don't rate this side at all, better than what I expected for Verigoat however.
    Mousekeeters: Really pretty poor, expected better from Mousey.
    Tunza: What I expected from Boob tbh - a bunch of good bats with past-it/over-rated bowlers. Except the batsman are past it this time too.
    Aftershocks: Great batting, ordinary bowling. Much will depend on the tosses.
    Avengers: Like it but it seems a bit meh.
    Crawlers: Much stronger this time around.
    Titans: Feel Shri's relying too much on inflated FC figures and past exploits. Don't really see it performing.
    Prycers: Might lack an X-factor (except for Jimmeh) but is still pretty gun.
    Phelgm's XI: Hard to rate - bowling's either injury-prone or unproven, batting seems a bit ordinary. Still, it wasn't complete when the thread was created....
    Sticky Wicket: Rate it - great batting and Steyn will get a ton of wickets. Looking much better than last year.
    Carvers: I like it, but reckon my bowling still looks a bit odd.
    Bruno Lawrence: Seems itstl - has a lot of good players but lacks that extra something.
    El Damo: Brought some real shockers but isn't too bad I guess.

    Morgie in hating on Verigoat shock
     
  11. Baxter MJ Deane

    No offence to Eds but do not rate his team as anything near the best.
     
  12. Ged GEC King

    Not even close.
     
  13. morgieb MC Burridge

    Yeah in fairness I probably did over-rate Eds side - thought his batting was better than it was.
     
  14. Farhat AM Farhat

    If Cameron and Butterworth avg around 30 I will do really well I feel.
     
  15. Fungus K Fung

    What does Bruno Lawrence lack? World class player? :p
     
  16. Jabba HJ Bots

    Batting to ten and 5 genuine bowling options ftw.
     
  17. Boobidy BJ Gemmell


    :laugh:

    Maddinson, Ponting, KP and Lynn are all passed it?
     
  18. Eds E Ames

    Ponting is.
     
  19. Baxter MJ Deane

    KP's not what he once was.
     
  20. Farhat AM Farhat

    Maddinson and Lynn are not passed it because they're not 'there' yet.
