We're Off - The JP Premier League

NZF, can you name conditions soon as I want to name my squad because my computer pulled some stunts on me this morning and I had to even take it out in the sun, which seamed to help a bit.   

Ok spin, the conditions will be: 4 Pitch, 2 Bounce, 3 Outfield.

We caught up with Bladescape at a press conference in Melbourne:

Reporter:What was your reaction after the win?
Bladescape:I was very happy,Especially with Alam and Rashid.

Reporter:What was your reaction with how your players played Mendis?
Bladescape:We already knew he was going to be a threat,and the first innings proved that,but overall our batsman handled him well enough to win.

Reporter:So your happy with how your team is going.
Bladescape:Very.

Reporter:Thank you for joining us.
Bladescape:It's been a pleasure.

After 2nd defeat in a row Mystery the manager of PG's said that he is not worry about losing he said his team played well they bowled really well but they need to bat more responsiblely.
For the next match there will be 3 changes Pomersbach, Guptill and Malinga are out Elliot, Afridi and Cooray will replace them and the conditions will be 5 Pitch, 5 Bounce, 1 Outfield.

Ok Blade, here is my team for the next game against Melbourne Masters.

So how do you feel your last game against Canterbury went? i thought it went very well we got a low first innings score but then bowled them out for 30 odd less with Imran Tahir being the star getting 4 wickets.Ialso think Sangakarra done very well it was a great hundred well supported by others.

Team:
G.Smith
P.Hughes
Y.Singh
S.Badrinath
B.Rohrer
A.Rashid
T.Taibu
T.Southee
N.Bracken
D.Nannes
M.Muralidaran

Alam's injury puts inexperienced Blues Batsman Ben Rohrer at 5.

same here i forgot if i win the toss i will bat first

I'll bowl first if I win the toss.

And then there were two...

Only Freuchie and Melbourne remain unbeaten after the latest round of fixtures, two of whch went right down to the wire:

Some great games this week with some outstanding individual performances.

Some inspired team changes as well, with Afridi, Bollinger and Elliott coming in and doing a superb job for Hyderabad and Rohrer impressing for Melbourne.

What I didn't realise untll I sent everybody their PMs was that Melbourne and Freuchie meet in the next round so unless the two teams draw (and given that the sim takes out weather interruptions this is unlikely) then by next week only one team will remain unbeaten.

Unluckiest team of the week is West Yorkshire who have been hit by four injuries as they prepare to take on third from bottom Caribbean Blasters.

ah! this is a real heart break, this is my second defeat in 3 games and both the defeats have been by less than 10 runs... aw this is painful, we should have pulled this off...

You've been really unlucky Sam, I thought you were going to make it - that last wicket stand in the first innings really turned the game for Melbourne.

Just a reminder folks, I can't determine what the AI does with bowlers after the openers, so much as you'd like certain players to bowl third, fourth, fifth etc., I can't do anything. Just let me know who you don't want to bowl though.

And another thing, there's no option to select a captain, just in case you thought it made any difference.

I'm going for exactly the same pitch and team as for round 3 sam

can i have following team
