Guns not firing = killing us. Trott 254 runs @ 31 - 0 hundreds in 8 innings Tremlett 12 wkts @ 45. Sharma 1 wkts @ 110
Underperformers CA. I can see you costing me a lot of vCash as the season goes on as you start favourites in more than half your games and lose them all. Shape up FFS.

Ishant Sharma That middle order has always been a problem. Almost tempted to play Faulkner as a specialist batsmen, given Lyth is the only player I have to average more than he.
Leaning toward the former tbh, be a good trial for the allrounders to see who to keep there going forward. Faulkner has a better average and better strike rate than Copeland - and he's gunning it so maybe I should look his way a little more.
Relying heavily on the top 6 here to perform. Faulkner is in form with the bat too, so may scratch up some runs there. May change out SOK for Kanitkar also...
Lots of all rounders in that lower middle order. Will need one of the top batsman to gun up and play with them.

My openers aren't actually too bad, Shafiq averages a tick under 40 and Lyth over 50... That Parananananana H4X can't last much longer either, surely.
