[Senior] Announcements

The top order batting rating for 4 players with an average age of 26 was downright hopeless...

And we have more of the same today, one change with Mantri out. Those top order ratings would be 'good' if the average age were 24 including the keeper.
LeCras is an exceptional rating 24yo with enough fielding and I was actually surprised he got selected for the tour infront of someone like Seshan who wasn't (given the history of tour selections). He is one who hasn't performed either.

And not forgetting the short careers of Lath, Tapas, Bhanjee, Vasuman as batsmen a few seasons ago and these extended careers. The Senior team is unlikely to ever reach the heights of the U19s.

Going back to Shahikanth Mahajan. He certainly is better than Topon Das who has been in the squad for quite a while without ever playing a match, they both I believe are seam all-rounders. Then there is Akib and not sure of any others pressing if at all.

Oh dear.

3x Uneven
1x Green
1x Dry

But at least I can try to keep the spinners fresh for the final game. I know which games to minimise the fatigue hits for the best XI.

I didn't add much ... I may as well delete this post later too.
Rupesh has no power to be a batsman in T20s, lucky he's a spinner, but I agree he will do better than most.

I'd almost consider keeping the squad this way for the SOD and WC ...

But I'd be saying too much even now.

Another 27yo, 28yo and 29yo to make their senior debuts

Oh but of course, it's called "Keeping an eye to the future".

If you preferred I took batsmen with average to capable power on a T20 tour ...

But I sense an unpleasable 'supporter' base...

So really, I shouldn't be posting anymore.

Where's Asterius? Those were the good days.

The rankings are fitting and not unexpected, got an older touring squad than the last WC squad, going backwards further?

Bermuda has the oldest squad this tour, "we" are second. And they have on average a $3,875 wage and 1,318 rating advantage. Should get out of the bottom league with 'more suiting' players.

I don't know why I'm posting either, almost given up.
