| I certainly have some doubts over the 2nd XI selectors. I'm sitting in the dressing room at the moment, and only 6 of us are here! Where are Mongoose, Lemming, Pete, Seamer and Goatman?!? I think some changes to the team sheet may be required. I definately think The Phantom Ram and Victor Frankenstein should be called up, and also drafting in John as our South African, potentially on a Kolpak deal if he relinquishes his place in the South African middle order. Trescothick and Cantplaycanttalk can make up the numbers leaving the 2nd XI as:
1. Oliver (Disappointed at his relegation since the last time these two sides met)
2. Notts Exile (Other members' failure to score runs has been his gain)
3. The Phantom Ram (hoping to put up a good show for the Derbyshire faithful on his internation debut)
4. greg (Massive mover, has relished his spot since his debut all the way back in June)
5. Victor Frankenstein(An experiment in the 2nd XI middle order, only just ranked in the top 30 in the world and will need a good performance to guarantee his place)
6. Teatime FatCat (Not in the 1st XI anymore, hoping that his Slow Left Armers pick up a few more wickets to see him regain his place)
7. Andy Mellon (1st XI 12th Man is now a vital member of the 2nd XI)
8. John (A wildcard entry if ever there was one, models himself on Shaun Pollock, actually plays like Derek Pringle)
9. Trescothick (Bowls like Mr. Trescothick, bats like Mrs. Trescothick... possibly. Potentially explosive pinch-hitter at number 9)
10. vvvrulz (Holding on to his place in the 2nd XI, hoping for another big showing from the 2nd XI stalwart)
11. Cantplaycanttalk (Will run in for you over after over, real endurance factor here and swings it both ways). |
