I wont be as much active hereon as I've got my exams coming up next month. Will pop in now and then to check our progress but that's about it, I'm afraid.

Since Blitzberg isn't overly active I'm trying to think of a team that might work in the List A competition. The side which we last won with was this

:bat: BlitzBerg Steel :c:
:bat: Nick Agger
:ar: Khurram Khan :bwl:
:bat: Misabh Ul Haq
:wkb: Varun Rustagi :wk:
:ar: Aditya Jha
:ar: Svenke Ulberg :bwl:
:bwl: Rick Adams :bwl:
:bwl: Ern Shylock :bwl:
:bwl: Kai Winch :bwl:
:bwl: Alexander McKenzie :bwl:

Any objections to it?

I completely approve, although I really wish we had one more specialist batsman somewhere. Actually, that's my fault from when I did the draft.

OK, what's the plan in terms of the midseason break? From the perspective of the First Class team we certainly need at least one more genuine batsman in order to solidify the team a bit; plus I think that we could do with a genuine seaming all-rounder of some form although I could be wrong there.

I'll go through and check post counts in the first class threads at some point soon; just so we know how we are doing there

Okay, so I think that Vasudevan has to go; he just doesn't really serve any purpose in the team at present.

I think our ideal sides would be thus:
|First-Class|Limited Overs
1|Agger|Agger
2|Batsman 1|Batsman 1
3|Misbah|Misbah
4|Steel|Steel
5|Batsman 2|Khurram :bwl:
6|Batsman 3|Rustagi :wk:
7|Rustagi :wk:|Ulberg :bwl:
8|Latif :bwl:|Adams :bwl:
9|Hogg :bwl:|Winch :bwl:
10|Shylock :bwl:|Shylock :bwl:
11|McKenzie :c: :bwl:|McKenzie :bwl:

So if we approach that logically, that gives us the following table:

Player||FC|LO
:ned: :bwl: Rick Adams|:local:|:x:|:tick:
:aus: :bat: Nick Agger|:local:|:tick:|:tick:
:aus: :bwl: Brad Hogg|:os:|:tick:|:x:
:ind: :ar: Aditya Jha|:local:|:x:|:x:
:uae: :ar: Khurram Khan|:os:|:x:|:tick:
:pak: :ar: Waqas Latif|:local:|:tick:|:x:
:sco: :bwl: Alex McKenzie|:local:|:tick:|:tick:
:ind: :wkb: Varun Rustagi|:local:|:tick:|:tick:
:ire: :bwl: Ern Shylock|:local:|:tick:|:tick:
:ind: :bat: Blitzberg Steel|:local:|:tick:|:tick:
:nor: :ar: Svenke Ulberg|:local:|:x:|:tick:
:pak: :bat: Misbah ul-Haq|:os:|:tick:|:tick:
:ind: :ar: Abhishek Vasudevan|:local:|:x:|:x:
:eng: :bwl: Kai Winch|:local:|:x:|:tick:

So, the only players who aren't needed in either team are Jha (despite a relatively strong start to the season) and Vasudevan. So I think we can release them.

I'd also suggest releasing Hogg, because we've got lots of bowling reserves (Adams, Winch) to mean that we could replace him in the side; and we could also sign Shane Warne in his place, which would be absolutely amazing.

Any dissenters?

I would like if I get your list asap so that we can move on. You can only get a PC player even if you release a star player. Thanks.

We wish to thank Aditya Jha and Abhishek Vasudevan for their service to the club, and hope that they understand the necessity of a properly balanced squad.
