    Ok, Higgins makes a lot less sense to me when you've already got DdS and Loosebuschange.
     
  4. morgieb MC Burridge

    Ehhh....I think you can probably argue he'd be in the best four bowlers on a team. Main problem is that he's only done in Div 2....
     
  5. Skippos SM Morgan

    I was leaning towards a similar player who's perhaps more bowling heavy but still an allrounder with that pick but ended up just going for it. Cream rises to the top and he gives me flexibility. If he goes at 28 bat 32 bowl, I'll be happy. Already have Roach and Rashid doing the heavy lifting.
     
  6. Skippos SM Morgan

    I could also bat Higgins at 8 and have a rank turner at home with DDS and Marnus as the 5/6 bowlers. Options. Probably what I'm leaning towards anyway.

    Not sure whether to get Marnus to open, slide everyone up one and take advantage of Higgins/Saha and have them at 6-7 with 4 other bowlers, or whether to get in another top order bat and cop Higgins as the 4th bowler and Dhananjaya/Marnus the 5th/6th

    Either way you should definitely pick a bowler now. Bowling looks pretty weak and if injury strikes you'll be severely crippled.

    Hey, hey Skippos. I have your Hafeez.

    If you want to see him throw down some offies and somehow jam his way to 50 for your team ever again, you’re gonna have to cough up some of your Loosebuschange...

    The tail is too long if I pick this XI but I feel a bowler short if I drop Worrall/Asif for the next batsman I pick. Ffs

    12. Dan Worrall/Bilal Asif/Oshada Fernando

    Worrall in for Asif on seamers, Worrall in for Oshada (Higgins to open) on roads. Think it works well.

    Looking forward to Div 2 bully Ryan Higgins opening the batting and the bowling and doing an ok job of it.
     
  19. Skippos SM Morgan

    That Misbah pick just anchors my side so well I reckon. It looks *so* much better now. Gambling on 4 primary bowlers and 2 part timers being enough on rank turners given four of them are spinners.
     
  20. morgieb MC Burridge

    Yeah he really was the perfect fit for the side. This side's gonna be nasty at home.
