Interesting to see Reece Young get picked up, especially as the teams only keeper. He bats at nine/ten for Canterbury in RL T20s, with an average of only 9.

Team Previews: London Scorpions

attachment.php


So, the second London team, the team that will call the Kia Oval their home. The Scorpions will be hoping to live up to their aggressive name, and do the Emirates airline proud by flying to the final. Of course, you can't judge a book by its cover, so let's have a look at who the Scorpions have laid their millions on.

After plumping a significant amount of their budget on Sachin Tendulkar and Brendan McCullum, we will see if the rest of the team can lend enough support to them.

London Scorpions have strength, but they seem to be lacking the depth that could make them a force in the competition. Aside from Indian strokemaker Sachin Tendulkar, the batting will be very reliant on Brendon McCullum, the explosive Kiwi keeper. They may end up being skittled, but in the wings they have Umar Gul, probably the most successful Twenty20 International bowler in the world. Ably aided by domestic quick Maurice Chambers and spinner Danny Briggs, the Scorpions my just scrape into the Super Sixes.

Possible XI - McCullum +, Nicol, Tendulkar *, Shah, Duminy, Napier, Maynard, Jones, Briggs, Gul, Chambers
Potential - Super Six Stage

Waste of OS slot. :p

Anyways, Author use this symbol for keepers in your update ?. All you need to do is Alt+0134 in right side of your keyboard

London look alright, just SRT and mccullum will have to deliver if they have to win.
