It was just names his morning, you need to add Kane williamson as a batting allrounder

lol you always do this with players. Its the creator who chooses who is a all-rounder and who is not. This is Kanes first test call up so he hasn't shown anything in test cricket yet.

I pay these guys no mind, I honestly would like one of them to tell me what makes a guy yet to debut an all-rounder at international level.

 

[Chewie]

Well if he's an all-rounder at domestic level it kinda naturally follows...

Chewie added 3 Minutes and 3 Seconds later...

And all I was doing was asking him to add Kane Williamson to the squad lists because he wasn't on it yet and I was going to choose my team....

Steve Smith is a batting all rounder in domestic cricket but he barely batted in the international 20/20s and ODI. Like I said its up to him to decide who makes it as AR and who doesn't.

 

[Chewie]

I see your point.

There has been talk around that Kane will bat at 6 and be the second spinner on the radio and the news so in light of this I changed him to a batting allrounder

 

[Abhas]

Cheers for creating, I've registered.. Any news on Watson? is he fit again?

 

[Chewie]

It was mentioned that he is likely to be playing

Phillip Hughes, Australia's 'Sehwag', is unlikely to play in the second Test | Cricket News | New Zealand v Australia 2009-10 | Cricinfo.com

Article is about Hughes, but about how he won't be playing the next test

You cannot be serious!!! Mate, am not going to make this an issue, did not even realized you were FC Staff!!!

 

[Chewie]

You can change him back, i'll remember this for next time. I won't interfere in the work of the other fc staff. Hopefully I get nz series so I can make it my way

I suppose it's just bit of my OCD showing haha, stuff like this just annoys me somewhat.

 

[Chewie]

I've added James Franklin to the NZ squad as a bowling all-rounder. Not really sure what he should be classed as, because last time he batted at 5-6 but is in the team at the moment for his bowling...

Probably won't matter in the end because the chances of him playing are small.

lol you better stay away.. WI will kill himself
