On PlanetCricket they've got a stickied 'Player Discussion' thread and I thought it was such a good idea that I started one here.
I've just got my third player that I want to wonder/pontificate about publicly in a short space of time (including Richard Logan as posted previously) - so here I am!
1. Nick James. At least two of my county saves picked him up in the pre-season. Looking at his real-life stats, you can see why. He averages over 50 with the bat in first-class, and under 26 iirc with the ball in List A. Yet in real life he sat out 2009 apparently, without a club after being let go by (I think it was) Warwickshire the previous season.
He's going all right for me - he's certainly getting a few games. In my Gloucestershire save, he has established himself as a first team regular for one-dayers. In my Derbyshire save that certainly hasn't happened yet, but he has played a couple of games and looks likely to play more.
Did anyone else pick him up? How is he going/did he go for you? Frankly I'm surprised I only bought him twice! And I haven't encountered him playing for anyone else either.
2. Jonathan Trott. Okay everyone knows about him, right? Well, I don't know! Have you tried him as a bowler? My Warwickshire save have tried to ignore him and pick REAL bowlers, but he always gets a bowl in one-dayers, and is an impressive performer when he does. After 6 matches in the Challenge Trophy, he's our top wicket-taker (8 at 19)!
