To those of you who are questioning the batting order; we didn't just dump players there with no prior research, everyone is being being played in the spot they have played the majority of ODis in.

The only player who this does not apply to is Dippenaar, Dippenaar has played at 3 but the majority of games came as a opener. The reason we are playing dippenaar at 3 is so that he can stabilise the innings if either of the openers fall, so as not to put pressure on miandad and Sarwan who can play shots instead. If you look at dippenaar stats you'll see that the vast majority of runs came from singles (thus allowing the rotation of the strike when partnering either one of the openers or number 4 and 5).

Sarwan mostly played at 3 or 4 RT. Styris played 4-5. Both are stroke makers, which is why I brought it up. Styris is not a big hitter. His talent would have been wasted at 7.

You're correct as to the reason we played styris and Franklin. Our strike bowlers are Johnson and Vaas with broad and Kumble the first change. Those bowlers will bowl 40 overs with the remaining 10 split between styris, Franklin, miandad and Sarwan.

If you were anyways going to split the 10 overs four ways across with Styris, Franklin, Miandad and Sarwan, you might as well have brought in Misbah and dropped Franklin. There wouldn't have been much of a change in your bowling (Since it would be only a difference of 2-3 overs anyways) and your batting would have gotten a hell of a lot stronger. I think that was a very poor strategy there, no offence.

Good enough to get through our openers, Dippenaar and Miandad? I don't think he was good enough for that.

One of my favourites growing up. Massively underrated...this was the case in the 2012 draft as well. Some things never change.

We could do a 12th man face off?

That's exactly how I feel about Dippenaar! (Apart from the 2012 draft).
 
Lets have a super over!

Six Balls.


Batsman- Drive or Pull or Block.
Bowler- Short or Full.

Pull on Short Ball=6 runs
Drive on full ball=6 runs
Pull on full ball=out
Drive on short ball=out
Block on either short or full ball=zero runs

Have out as -3 runs. The one with more runs at the end wins.
 
Skizzo's batting is good, and RT needs to bat second and some good score had been chased down at this ground.Still can't decide on this.

So the Cricketing version of Rock Paper Scissors basically. :lol:. I actually like this idea. I vote yes to this.

NO Yorker ??
 
Let's actually do this. Since Akshay and Skills are not responding.
@RedTiger and @Skizzo (If you are awake). Would you be ok with a superover along similar lines to what MJJ has suggested ?
