The Australian cricket non-official thread!

For what it's worth left arm bowler(slow now)#11 batsmen(couldn't bat to save my life)and love to field at mid wicket not sure if I'm done enough best bowling 6-23 simifinal on way to one and only pennant
 
I know that quoting YOURSELF is the same as "liking" your own Facebook post, but these are desperate times gentlemen!!

The pay dispute has reached breaking point, with 230 cricketers now left unemployed. It is an extremely sorry state of affairs, but in times of crisis you must separate the men from the boys....the leaders from the followers.

To this end, I call on the following OzCardTrader General Cricket Forum contributors from 1st October 2016 to current (it's taken me all f**king morning to search pages and pages of posts! :)) to make themselves available for national selection! I will update this post (or a new one a bit later!) with a list of candidates.

@The Mad Hatter @bigrob2307 @Scotty_WCE @aflcards2015 @Keatoboy @Wookiedragon @Angry @Parrapaul @Eels Guru @Brendan_B @Jayden35 @220 @Mogg06 @aussiecricketer @mounteverest @Matt26 @BLOWN8 @aussie26 @nazimcricket

Please reply below - including your batting, bowling and fielding preferences - and we will form a mighty, fighting team. You've heard of the Invincibles. Well, let us be known as...er...um....the Unmentionables!! :)

:thumbsup::thumbsup: Double thumbs up Matt for the continual wave of the baggy green. Happy to nominate you for Captain, as the team will need someone to fly our flag... someone who can lead from the front and inspire his troops.

Batting....I can open or bat 6... depends on the mood! :kick: or if its late in a day and you need someone to see stumps out, send me in.
Bowling... first change medium swing or will throw grenades on a turning pitch...
Fielding...Silly mid on.... Sledges are all mine !

Cheers n beers
Damian

I'll join you as a nightwatchman, Damian... One game last season I was sent out to open with about 9 overs until stumps - managed to get through unscathed (despite some uncompromising/amusing sledging from behind the stumps) but without scoring! Of course having done all the hard work, promptly got out in the second over the next week for what must have been about a 40-ball duck! :lol:
 
From personal experience @Matt26, Caleb and Keaton have a love/hate relationship. Caleb loves writing anti-Left articles.....and Keaton hates reading them!! :)

Thats even funnier!

Lets maybe not get into politics.......speaking of politics? Have the ACA and CA done a deal yet?
 
OK, we have a squad of 16 so far!

Openers will be @The Mad Hatter and @aussiecricketer. Experienced, wise heads in a crisis.

@Keatoboy will be wicketkeeper. As such, you might have to bat as low as 7....so don't annoy me before team selection :)

@Mogg06 is 12th man, our specialist fielder (a la Peter Cantrell at the 'Gabba in 1990 against England).

A strong, flexible middle order includes @Keatoboy, @220, @Angry, @Brendan_B, @Eels Guru, @BLOWN8 and @Wookiedragon.

@Wookiedragon will definitely take the new ball, most likely to be joined by @Angry, for the Right/Left combination. You boys will be "managed" through the pre-season to ensure full fitness!!

First change bowling will come from @Scotty_WCE, @aussie26, @aussiecricketer (our own Colin "Funky" Miller, who can revert to spin!), @aflcards2015, @Brendan_B and yours truly. The "partnership breaker" bowling will come from @The Mad Hatter and @220

We have a multitude of spin bowling options, including @BLOWN8, @Eels Guru, @bigAlcards and @mounteverest.

Let's hope there's not an outbreak of the calicivirus, as it appears we've got more rabbits than you can poke a stick at! For the record, only ONE of you bastards can bat at number 11!! :)

This is indeed an excellent squad and I am proud to captain you all.
 
Send in the registration forms to cricket Australia. We can get some warm up games in the matador bbq cup - most states will be represented. NSW, SA and QLD have strong presence from Oz card....
I'm already a registered player thru cricket Australia
