Story PCC Warmup games and other competitions

Maybe, if the Spin is bothered enough to post his squad for the upcoming fixture West Indies vs Sri Lanka.

Btw, I've updated the tables in first post. New Zealand need a minor miracle to make it through to the final now,they obviously need a win against Sri Lanka, then it all depends on the runrate.
If West Indies win the next game, we're through to the final. If we lose, Sri Lanka are through to the final because of their decent runrate.

So Spin, just post your squad and I'll sim it. I have to go in about an hour, so see if you can post it before then.

 

[The Spin]

I have told you before, unless I say so then just use the same squad. Its not like I have anybody better

 

[embi]

Here is the team (continuing captain rotation policy):

Simbazz (+)
Sid_19840
Embi
Chris Gayle
Barmyarmy (*)
Brian Lara
Shiv. Chanderpaul
Dwayne Bravo
Ramnaresh Sarwan
Jerome Taylor
Fidel Edwards

We'll be playing on a normal pitch, expect a good contest between bat and ball.

SRI LANKA PCC        161       39.1 overs
   
West Indies PCC won by 116 runs
  
Man of the match: Chris Gayle

In the end, we absolutely pummelled them! Colin must have some decent leadership skills.
Good but shaky performance from our batters, except Chris Gayle, who continued his performance in the fake illegal ICC Champions Trophy with an absolutely magnificent 134 not out. What an innings.

Then my decision to bring Jerome Taylor back into the side after a less than convincing performance from Ian Bradshaw was vindicated as he and Fidel Edwards ripped up the batting order. Congrats to Arnold and Tharanga, who put on 83 in a brave attempt to resist, but Tharanga ran out of partners.

As for Jayasuriya (and Chris Vaas, although he is excused), quack quack

 

[GrayNicolls]

Good win for the Windies. If I'm correct, we needed you to win didn't we embi? And now we have to beat Sri Lanka.

And a superb knock from Chris Gayle!

 

[Saltires]

good win for the Windies, is that them through to the final then?

BTW Chris Vaas???????

 

[embi]

Yep you're right. If Sri Lanka had won it would be something like
Tm W L P
WI 2 2 6
SL 2 1 6
NZ 1 2 3

However, as it stands whoever wins faces Windies in the final. So you could say its a kind of 2nd place playoff

&saltires, yes we're through to the final, and chris vaas is a bit of a tailender, so you cant really shout at him getting a golden duck. a guy like jayasriya though...

 

[Saltires]

sorry i should have explained, isnt it Chaminda Vaas?

 

[smssia0112]

sorry i should have explained, isnt it Chaminda Vaas?

Yes it is

 

[embi]

What the hell am I on about...
Its one of those things that your brain is absolutely certain its 100% correct but its not...

 

[The Spin]

Jayasuriya, Jayawardene, Sangakaara and myself getting 3 or less!

And whats going on with the bowler selection?

Anyway, next game is SL at home to NZ. We will play at Colombo, on a poor pitch. Players will stay the same, but the order will change (EDIT:Pinchy added):

1. Tharanga
2. Attapattu
3. Jayawardene
4. Jayasuriya
5. Arnold
6. Sangakkara (+)
7. Samaraweera
8. Spin (*)
9. Vaas
10. Muralitharan
11. Pinchy (Averages: 20/20 (From Cricsim))

 

[pinchinator]

thats it i've had enough im boycotting the Sri Lankan part of the PCC trophy

 

[The Spin]

Try reading my post in the main thread :

You will play if you confirm your stats

EDIT: Youre in

 

[GrayNicolls]

I wonder what Matt's team will be...He said big changes...I hope I'm still opener though, I've been playing well as an opener.

 

[Simbazz]

Great knock by the Windies players, im a little disappointed with the bat, but i did well with the gloves and it have to tell you, it was a tricky wicket to keep on :

Congrats to Colin who played well as captain! BUT not as well as ME :

Nah im kidding as usual!

 

[embi]

Yep, we'll wait for Matt to post a squad, its a damned important game, could be either teams last until the tournament.
