Senior NAT Discussion

[Bustergut]

Would be good for our Nat Manager to let us know their thoughts on the recent tour.

[Bustergut]

The T20 tour is going much better so far.

Some of the team selection could be debated and I think it would be better if there was an assistant or 2 to help out. Im not volunteering by the way.

[Bustergut]

Thanks to everyone that voted for me. I will do my very best to justify the trust you placed in me.

First order of business, if anyone wants an assistant role, pls post here or send me an in-game mail. Pls let me know why you want the role too.

Thanks

Welcome to ryanoakes, Hedonyx & keeper19087. Your new management team.

[Bustergut]

We have a new Association, anyone that can demonstrate that they're a Windies supporter with no affiliation to other countries should request access here.

Unfortunately, I will have to err on the side of caution about allowing access....

The pitch draw has not been kind, so we'll need all the support we can get.

And in other Senior Nat news, the Windies are playing in a 16 team strong competition every Saturday. We are away at 08:00 at the UAE this Saturday.... team selection is a closely guarded secret. Also a player curfew has been invoked to prevent any visits to night clubs.

Details on the competition are held on: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=37254

The Windies are unable to qualify for the T20 World Cup at the end of this season, so we are touring with a young squad looking for experience. Many of the more experienced players will return for the second OD tour.

I am not complaining about having my full squad available this week. But I don't understand why you think Windies are unable to qualify for T20 World Cup. One point behind 12th place, 12 points on offer.
If I calculate right, we are in 12th spot right now after having won the first two games, tied with Bermuda on 11 points, and one ahead of Zimbabwe who are without a win so far in Nat Twenty20 2. Also we're just one point behind New Zealand. We need to probably win all five games to make it, but you made it sound like it is absolutely impossible. I think I got the scoring system right, and then it is mighty close.

Good stuff, by the way, the youngsters winning both games so far while seriously out-rated.
