Exactly. If Speirz was eligible for this side, it would be Alec or Wilkinson in for me and Speirs for Devonshire and we would retain the same balance of 3 fasties and 2 spinners.
I only made this thread because I was thinking how much better off we would be if it was residency based. I'm not suggesting for a second that this game occur. Your arguments are irrational and once again you are showing your ignorance.
There is a big ****ing difference between you and Speirz. You would most likely bowl 30+ overs and Speirz would bowl 15 max, don't even compare the 2.
Me going with cricketing logic is irrational? Me showing you out to be a bias dud selector is irrational? Well if that's irrational I don't want to be rational.
This is bias of the highest order. You just can't handle the fact that you don't deserve to be playing rep.
The GB team would be pretty shite if it was done on residency: 1. <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=344"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">JP Goodfellow</a> 2. <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=362"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">JE McGrath</a> 3. <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=326"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">JRE Luffman</a> 4. <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=327"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">JEM Logan</a> 5. <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=379"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">DG Dafter</a> 6. <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=338"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">SLO Graham</a> 7. <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=358"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">C Laing</a> 8. <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=376"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">M Deane</a> 9. <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=319"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">AP Farnsworth</a> 10. <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=337"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">JH Ridd</a> 11. <a href="http://www.cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=339"style="color: #000000" target="_blank">BOY Blunder</a> Nowhere near rep quality.
With the fifth bowler bowling medium-fast, Ged should be in the team. I agree with the lineup Ged posted.
That's because it'd leave the team with no third seam option, as Speirs is the fifth bowler. In this team, Devonshire is the fifth bowler and not Speirs, meaning picking two specialist spinners is perfectly logical.
