Hi all,

Wanted to give another quick update from the Aussie NAT Management team for those interested:

We took over the team in Season 37 and had a pretty tough initiation finishing; 5th and 6th in our first 2 SOD Tours (double demotion) with only 1 win in 10 games.. Along with 6th in our first T20 Tour..

Since then however we have managed to secure promotion to Division 2 Twice in SOD (hopefully we can stay up this time!), promotion to T20 Division 1 last season and have capped it off this week where we have managed to win our first Division 1 Title during the T20 Competition in a really tight competition!

Thanks so much for all the hard work from my assistants; Birdmandipper, Grizzle, Chezza (when available) and Crowfan for all your help and hard work. A huge thanks to all the managers who are supportive of the National team and help us work on training plans for players etc. (especially Eternal!).

We have retired some long serving older players from National Duty also over the last few seasons and really want to thank their managers for ongoing support and lending us their players when needed inlcuding:

Gary Crane 54 Games
Jackson Serval 31 Games
Onas T'oolan 30 Games
Gerrard Gurr 25 Games
Jamie Macmillan 20 Games
Wippa Brown 19 Games
Kamdyn Collard 18 Games
Zac Youssif 18 Games
January Stray 18 Games
Lauren Shea 15 Games
Kerry Bateman 15 Games
Michael Tempesta 14 Games
Lester Hodgson 12 Games
Hall Hansberry 9 Games
Willie Alford 9 Games

Thanks all for your support!

Congrats Drewy and co! You've done a great job to get the Aussies back on top!

[Birdmandipper]

Will definitely be back for the SOD tour, we were giving some new batsmen a go in the NAT team this T20 tour

[Birdmandipper]

Yep we are a bit spoilt for choice at the moment with a lot of quality batsmen with our best all being 28 or younger

[Drewyface]

Congrats Drewy and co! You've done a great job to get the Aussies back on top!

Thanks tonk!

The lads do an amazing job scouting and tracking potential players and their development which has us in a good spot at the moment for batsmen which is great.

Hi all,

Thanks for re-electing us for another term!

We have made a few changes to the team over the last month or so in preparation for this season as we continue or long term goal of qualifying for the next Senior One Day World Cup.

If you have any players you would like us to consider for selection, or simply want some feedback or training suggestions please either post here or feel free to Inbox any of us in game.

We are always looking for good quality players, particularly with in-game talents and spend a fair bit of time using the player search function but are always open to suggestions!

If you have an up and comer amongst your ranks please don’t hesitate to put them forward too, as we like to try them in the T20 competition to get them ready for the One Day arena.

Thanks again for all your support;

Grizzle, Chezza, Birdmandipper, Crowfan and myself!

[tonk6464]

Congrats Drewy on your well deserved re-election. The Aussie team is in good hands.
