[shantanu_rooney]

In the 10th round of the PCPL Season 3 will see, The Shalin Toronto Tanks Stadium playing to the leaders Manchester Divided. Man D made a brilliant start to the season winning the first seven games but since have lost the next two. On the other hand Toronto Tanks who are placed second from bottom in the table, haven't been able to get the desire results even after spending huge millions on the Nats.

Toronto Tanks to choose the pitch.​

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Alright boys, we absolutely must win this.

Lineup's gonna depend on what pitch we get, but the batting order will probably remain the same.


C'MON MAN D!!!!

 

[Covvy]

I better do something, currently I'm a one hit wonder. 97 one game and under 10 in all the others.

 

[Amiya]

Our top order has collapsed in the last two game which made the difference. We need to perform well.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I was considering:

Covvy
KBC
Zorax
Don Tallon (+)
Viv Richards
Amiya (*)
Harris
The Spin
Syd Barnes
Dr. Pepper
WHM/Arslaan


If the Don and I hang in there early, it gives a good base for you and Viv to launch. But incase Botham and Imran Khan do go crazy with the new ball, there will still be Viv, you, Harris and The Spin to come. Covvy and KBC required to give us a good start, or go all guns blazing with quick cameos.

Alternatively:

Don Tallon (+)
Harris
KBC
Covvy
Viv
Amiya
The Spin
Zorax
Bowlers

Seeing how Kalu has performed when opening the batting for Beijing, and Adyhorn for Chennai, it might be worth sending our keeper and allrounder to open. If they click, then yay. If they don't, we have a power-packed batting lineup to follow...

I'll do some testing.

 

[Covvy]

I'd like to be given a go at four seeing as I've failed 8 times so far this season.

 

[The Spin]

Zorax loves the testing!

MD to reverse the rot and come through, I reckon

 

[Amiya]

I think i will be successful at the opening slot.

 

[Insomniac]

Screw thinking, we're unchanged.

 

[Ollie_H]

On an uneven pitch

 

[harrisb]

i'm happy to open, i love getting the chance to when i play for real.

however, we have another beijing player simming our game again. hopefully we won't be cheated.

 

[Ollie_H]

your top of the table?!?!?! How can you talk about being screwed over? The 3 best teams are in the bottom 3!

 

[KBC]

Blah blah bloop tanks, are you any fools?

Yes sir yes sir whole of toronto too!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Man D's lineup:

Don Tallon
KBC
Viv Richards
Covvy
Amiya
Harris
The Spin
Zorax
Syd Barnes
WHM
Pak_Cricketer


Tweaked to suit an uneven pitch. Pak makes his debut, Arslaan sits out again while Dr. P is dropped as he doesn't suit the pitch very well. Don Tallon given a chance to open due to Covvy's poor form, causing him to be dropped down to 4. Maybe he'll find his touch there.

 

[Covvy]

I hope I can find my form at no.4!
