County cricket season 2009

[CHAPPERS]

Joyce was the best signing by anyone this winter.

 

[withdeanwombat]

When are they out, do you know?

If history teaches us anything,mid to late June,I expect,with bank holiday games against Southampton and Charlton.Worth a flight home,perhaps?

True dat.
Closely followed by the astute capture of Gatting

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yardy out for 50.

119/2 at lunch. Gatting and Joyce in.

Boy what a lovely day out in BN2 today, would have been great to have had a home fixture today. Lets hope its like this next Tuesday or Lanky may be blaming the weather for poor performances from the off.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

The ommission of Hoppo from this match doesn't bode well for him in terms of next week... I'd say that Rory H-B and Gatting can both make a case for starting against Lancs next week. Gatting seems to be at the front of the queue at the moment, and a decent knock in this match should see him selected at number 4 for that match.

Once we get all the Visas etc sorted out we should have a half decent team for the 1st county game:

1. MH Yardy
2. CD Nash / D Smith
3. EC Joyce
4. JS Gatting / RJ Hamilton-Brown / C Hopkinson
5. M Prior +
6. LJ Wright
7. RSC Martin-Jenkins
8. OP Rayner
9. RG Aga / C Liddle
10. C Collymore
11. D Wright

Have I forgotten anyone (who's fit)?

I think Nash is a certain starter, it just depends where. Whilst Prior is around he can bat at 5, but Hodd will need to come in at 6.

Not really sure Luke Wright is a guaranteed starter, oddly.

Also Lewry if fit is bound to play.

Wot no Beer..

Looks a good squad, could do with one of the young bowlers hitting early form.

Aaaaaaaaaah.... how could I forget Murray Goodwin!!!!

That makes it more complicated...

 

[8ace]

D Wright will bat higher than 11 I imagine

 

[Sweeney Todd]

The coming of age of Ollie Rayner will more than make up for the loss of Mushy.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Wright will bat 9.

4. M Goodwin
5. EC Joyce
6. JS Gatting
7. RJ Hamilton-Brown
8. C Hopkinson

Chuck in Pepler Sandri to the equation just for LOLs and ROFLs

 

[CHAPPERS]

It's a very tough side to pick but if everyone can get fit and ready we look strong, it's just getting them fit, especially in Lewry's case.

Hodd
RMJ
Rayner
Wright (D) / Yassir
Lewry / Aga
Collymore / Sandri

Not expecting to see Prior at Hove much this summer.

Yardy
Nash

Prior
Hoppo
Wright
RMJ
Raynor
Wright
Collymore

Boy with this line up we bat, way on down

 

[Papa Lazarou]

1 MH Yardy
2 CD Nash
3 EC Joyce
4 M Goodwin
5 JS Gatting
6 M Prior +
7 LJ Wright
8 RSC Martin-Jenkins
9 OP Rayner
10 D Wright
11 C Collymore


I'm toying with this line-up, but perhaps with Prior available for the 1st 4 games (2 championship matches) perhaps we will go with another all-rounder and trust the top 5 (Move Prior up to 5) to get all the runs, so I'll change it to:

1 MH Yardy
2 CD Nash
3 EC Joyce
4 M Goodwin
5 M Prior +
6 D Smith
7 LJ Wright
8 RSC Martin-Jenkins
9 OP Rayner
10 D Wright
11 C Collymore


With the extra batsman (Hoppo / RHB / Gatting) included at 5 when Hodd is keeping.

 

[Mendoza]

MH Yardy
D Smith
EC Joyce
M Goodwin
CD Nash
M Prior +
RSC Martin-Jenkins
OP Rayner
LJ Wright
D Wright
C Collymore

 

[Papa Lazarou]

MH Yardy
D Smith
EC Joyce
M Goodwin
CD Nash
M Prior +
RSC Martin-Jenkins
OP Rayner
LJ Wright
D Wright
C Collymore

I can't see why Prior would bat as low as 6, and also below Nash. If Nash isn't opening, I'd go for another batsman or all-rounder instead. Does Dwayne Smith open for Barbados?
