Team Thread Nine Dragons: As active as an American truck driver

[IceAgeComing]

On behalf of our amazingly lazy team, I'd like to welcome @Dakota and @AucklandAce to the team!

I hope to try and contribute to the future success of the Nine Dragons and break in to the first eleven…it won’t be easy there is a lot of competition for places.

It’s great to be on-board for the upcoming new season and I believe under the direction of Author and Ice this team is going in the right direction.

There is a really positive atmosphere in the camp.. they are an ambitious team and I’m looking forward to the challenge.

@Dakota You sure about the team going in right direction.

Yes even our mascot is pumped

Based on our recent First Class success and with our new players this is the team that we'll be going into the second half of the season with

Nick Agger
Aditya Jha
Misbah ul-Haq
Blitzberg Steel
Varun Rustagi
Paul Nugent-Hopkins
Michael Ng
Waqas Latif
Brad Hogg
Ern Shylock
Alexander McKenzie

The three proper bowlers + Latif bowling a few new ball overs strategy has worked incredibly well in keeping scores down, and our two new players help to strength our batting even further than it already was. I'm dropping Ulberg only because it makes sense to have a proper batsman rather than a bowling all-rounder in that spot considering that they won't be bowling at all.

Batting positions are fairly flexible: I'm willing to try moving people around. The only exception to that is that Misbah is not moving from three and I quite like Agger opening.

 

[Varun]

Go Dakota go! We're proud of you!

Yeah, this looks like we'll mash all the other guys

 

[IceAgeComing]

I've just posted what we're doing regarding training in the shop thread: I hope that its clear why we've done what we've done.

 

[Varun]

Aye aye sir! All clear!

 

[Aislabie]

Rather belatedly, our two newest signings now have faces!

 

[dancingmongoose]

Oh hey we have new guys

 

[Aislabie]

Oh hey we have new guys

Trust a Dragon to be right up to date with the news

 

[MrNginator]

Oh hey, been inactive for so long and I just came back to see how everything is going. Pretty delighted to be apart of the team

 

[IceAgeComing]

I'm going to post this in here before I forget.

Between the 18th and 23rd of December I'm going to England for my cousins wedding, and the place we are staying doesn't have any reliable internet access. I'll try to make posts in every match thread (got to keep my streak going!) but if I can't and the next First Class game is posted before then the lineup from the last game should be used, I don't think we need to make any changes. After that its Christmas and thus my activity will be irregular, but I'm going to assume that will be the case for a fair few of us.

@The Author, @IceAgeComing, @VC the slogger

Anyway a loan deal could be struck? @chrisjohnson93 of the Demons isn’t really in the first team picture at the moment and looks like he is itching to play.
It would be a deal that would benefit both parties involved and Chris would gain match experience while available for selection to play at the Dragons. If @Umair2000 would like to make the deal or if it is possible?
