From The Pavilion

Big thanks to the admin team for getting this done. Several USA players have now been listed from spetex's teams so get bidding if you are interested.

My affiliate is about to get jiggy wit it.

So as per the new rules I'm gonna do my best to talk to everyone.

I'll start with some squad changes and the upcoming friendly. (To avoid the still inevitable deposition I will try to be broad)

Could someone update what's the minimum a player should be to be considered for NAT selection ?

Could be as early as Monday. Colonel Harland David Sanders will have to fill in until we get a proper replacement.

As a rough guide, I'd say exceptional primary/tech. Spectacular power (except for spinners) and spectacular fielding. The reality is that sometimes we have to accept less secondaries than that.

Also, if a player is a wrist spinner and their nationality is USA then they've probably got a chance of getting in!

Do you have a minimum endurance to tour for:
a) Batsman
b) Keeper
c) Seam bowler
d) Spin bowler?

Outstanding is the absolute minimum and even then I'm hoping for better.

I think you're the least likely person to fall foul of the no communication rule

Other than obviously power, anything you want me to work on/is he looking like he'd be picked for nats in a couple of seasons? Batting shouldn't be far off a pop..

Batting and power (in whichever order you choose) are the concerns so it looks like you have it sorted.

I'll be in everyone's care for the next two seasons.

For formality's sake...

The NT management team discussed the squad selection and we came to an agreement. This is our squad for the following tour:

Batsmen
Roberto Ellison (Central Coast Wombats)
Francis Graves (rogue mercenaries)
Mitch Harden (Ayatollah of Rockenrollah)
Brad Kirk (Ruff Royals)
Philip Solomon (Ruff Royals)
George Stevenson (Thunder)

Keepers
Alfredo Bowers (Ruff Royals)
Jim Harvey (Philly All Blacks)
Nicholas Todd (The Wrath of the Eggletons)

Seam bowlers
Tom Copeland (Astwood Allstars)
Clinton Gallegos (Mohammedan Sports Club)
Alan Hodges (Alva CC)
Benjamin Miller (Tempest)
Miguel Pugh (Kings XI Behala)

Spin bowlers
Robert Barnes (The Horder Initiative)
Danny Dunn (Nottm Outlaws XI)
Danny Hernandez (Minor Mashervania)
Trevor Johnson (Northern Blizzards)

Pitches
Crumbling
Dry

Welp. Wish us luck.

I think it's the best squad we have available for these conditions (full disclosure, I was involved in the selection).

Question to the USA community. Who reads this forum?
