I've decided a combined Squirts-Avengers team would be pretty gun. Marcus Trescothick Tharanga Paranavitana Brian Lara Venkata Laxman Thilan Samaraweera Sourav Ganguly / %Ross Taylor Mahendra Dhoni (+) James Franklin Shane Bond Trent Copeland Ben Hilfenhaus / Peter George There is a fair bit of shimmying we can do with the order as well if we wanted that extra bowling option in, we could bring in one of our spin bowling allrounders for Ganguly. Franklin and Dhoni can also move around the order a fair bit too.
Considering Anthony McGrath's form, he makes an excellent reserve too. Would have him ahead of Rosco in the pecking order. Mason>Hilfenhaus and fucking George.
So most of my lads have retired... Dunno if we've decided on retentions or not but realistically I can only choose from Ross, Deonarine, Rahim (who may yet be dropped for being an irritating shrieker in real life), Copeland, Rehman, Puttick and Dougeh. The rest are either retired or way too bad. Anti free trade groups such as PEWS Ltd will be pleased to hear the Squirts are seriously considering a No Shunts or Randoms policy which will see Phlegm revert to biased and left field selections with the occassional good choice where Phlegm's likes and actual quality align.
We aren't doing retentions this season. It's been too long. Particularly given one of Athlai's guys died.
Terrible troll attempt. Have considered asking for my CW username to be changed to Taylor154* (or now Taylor217*) for a while tbh, but I know it would never be allowed.
1. 2. 3. 4. - Ross Taylor (c) 5. 6. 7. 8. - Ryan McLaren (3) 9. 10. - Graeme Swann (4) 11. - Kemar Roach (1)
Slotting Swann in at 10 in a comp of this standard certainly signals your intentions to have a deep as fuck batting lineup. McLaren makes that possible I suppose.
