Yeah, very bloody unfortunate.

Tongs, I was the dominant batsman in the first part of the season, and I'm still claiming that title even though the stats are now gone.

Well hopefully I can contribute in some way, has anyone got our usual Test and ODI lineups?

doggiesin08 · 22 Nov 2008, 02:26

Stats can lie, or at least I hope they do or I'm close to the worst bat at this club

Maybe its time to have a spell? Is there any reason why we are the only club with two wicket keepers? Do we need two?

Dirk Kuyt · 22 Nov 2008, 07:03

The reason we have two keepers is because our original keeper hasn't posted and you wanted to be a keeper.

You'll take over from him now.

In a one dayer we line up as follows

Batsman
Batsman
Batsman
Batsman
Batsman
Batting A/R
Keeper
Bolwing A/R
Bowler
Bowler
Bowler

Or something very similar to that and in the Test matches

Bat
Bat
Bat
Bat
Bat
Bat
Keeper
Bowler/Bowling AR
Bowler
Bowler
Bowler

Depending on the pitch type for Test matches determines the number 8 batting spot.

I Just thought that we could possible use the other keeping spot for another type of player to have on our list. Just a thought! You're the skipper!

You always must play at least one all rounder.

Dirk Kuyt · 22 Nov 2008, 20:47

Ah, so you must. That's a rule I don't agree with, but so be it.

The Indians don't play an all-rounder in their test line up.

Sure Sehwag is a part time bowler, but to call him an all rounder (in a Test match) is silly, he and Chris Gayle can get away with it in One Dayers but not Test Matches.

They play 6 batsmen, then a keeper at 7, then two spinners and two pace bowlers, both Harby and Zaheer are certainly no mugs with the bat, but they're not all rounder either and Ganguly (although has now retired) wasn't either.
