Official Team List - Northern Phoenix (iBeng)

Batting Pitch

1. Magruder RHB
2. Danoz RHB (wk)
3. Reardo RHB
4. Angry Ranga RHB
5. Fizzler RHB
6. HARPSichord LHB
7. gym4life RHB RMF (batting AR)
8. Millky95 RHB LF
9. Easty RHB RM (c)
10. brahj LHB LF
11. Deddy RHB LS

12th Man - Broken

Magruder will face the first nut this week and HARPSichord slips down to number 6 to try and find him some form.

brahj comes in under the rotation policy and I would not want to be the Crusaders opening batsmen because he looks and is as fired up as Johnson was in the 2013 ashes series.

iBeng, could you also confirm Deddy is in the sim as a right handed leg spinner - The sim flatters him by saying it turned a mile when the batsmen play for the spin and it goes straight on but I didn't see any of that last test.

 

[brahj]

Everything I bowl is short.

RIP Crusaders

[Papa Juggs]

This time on a flat deck even if it's an away game I'm feeling a bit more confident.

Loving those big hits by KP at the T20. I'm inspired to whack a few over the bowlers head and maybe even out of the stadium.

 

[Deddy]

Batting pitch, bowling pitch, doesn't mater I'll take wickets.

Put your money on a 5fa cause I'm feeling good about this.

 

[Noobz0r]

Batting me at 5 The_Reaper!? We all know what I'm like under pressure. Remember the celebrations after the last test when i dropped 4 pints on the way back from the bar?

Krezja style 5 for 400, with wickets taken by default because the rest of your attack is s**t?

More like Bryce McGain style tbh. I saw him last season.

Still get bitches though

 

[Jatz]

Kept my position at number 4. Thinking a nice big century is in order on a batting pitch!

You also have the important job of making sure Noobz0r doesn't have to bat

That's no way to treat a MOTM.

It was a great moment. Like the McGrath 50 or the time Easty took a catch
