Don't really like calling it "kingusama92's team", this is not about me, it's about the team.

Thanks to all that voted for me and even those that didn't.

I'd love to hear from you guys. Tips and advice are always welcome.

[wick94]

a tip: pick "wick94" from the draft, a tremendous player i tell you. The bloke is only 17 and my word he can make a ball talk and he's a lefty too (that's a wasim akram there), not to mention he is pretty handy the bat too.

(hopefully u realized what i did there)

[kingusama92]

Looks like a good upcoming Youngsta beauty.

[MVP26]

Viv Richards right here. Not scared by any kind of oppositon and strike fear into the hearts of opponents.

I was going to tell you to do that, just for jokes of course because we're having fun here but good to see that you're already a step ahead, that will come in handy, if you know what I mean.

Yes pun intended.

I am a tenacious fast bowler (147 kph avg( with some batting to boot in the final overs. Think Akram in his beginning until all the biryanis ffand chicken mayos took thir toll. Im like the nerdier version of Akhtar Ohh and btw I can design a wicked logo for the team

[kingusama92]

Any examples of your logo work or anything similar?

People with good photoshop skill might persuade me into selecting them. Just saying.

That's idea-theft! You'll be hearing from my wakils. Intellectual property ftw.

Great minds think alike.

[Square Drive]

If you want an attacking dynamite, and a more-than-handy spin bowler, come to me.

Always trustworthy, and give my all for the team.

So come to papa!


P.S. I also voted you.

[iZaman]

VC Spot

I am keen.

[WiiiCKET]

Wiiicket my draft name. I am Raza Hasan of PP. 18 years old and slow left arm bowler.

I also voted for you

[saj001]

Whatta team.

[aneeq7]

I want to be in the King Team too

Im in the Bowling All-Rounder list (right-arm batsmen and leg-spinner):

[Prince of Pakistan]

I got to admit: Kingusama has fans

[Ahson Afzal]

Pick me please
I'm sure you will forget all the legends play once you see my batting

[cricketworm]

Hi,

I am from the land of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.

I am exotic and tropical batsman. My wrist are bigger than biceps, so my wristy flicks goes for 6. When I bat I bat long. I am happy to play anchor role. I am happy to take burden for team's run. My temperament is like Dravid's forward defense. My cover drive are so elegant that bowler forgets his rhythm. I am also handy part-time leg spinner. I am athletic and happy to field at cover or point.

And my main skill is tactics. I keep a track of which bowler is weak and which is stronger. I attack the weak. I give respect to opposition, but don't give and inch if it comes to fighting.

I will do anything to win. ANYTHING.

Thank You,

Cricketworm

[Prince of Pakistan]

Wohe copy/paste applications, where is the uniqueness?

[kingusama92]

To all of those that voted for me, I am grateful.

As for picking players, I will pick those guys that show a lot of interest in this league. Participate in the various threads and I will surely notice.

In the end, it's just names for the simulator. However, from past experiences I know that having most of the team present during game time makes thing fun.

[Square Drive]

Hope I'm picked!

I'm highly active on PP and visit here everyday, hope this helps.

How about you switch over to the dark side and endorse my team

Only if you're not an all-rounder though

What About Me:

Left Arm Fast

Online every day and very active..

[Square Drive]

Which I am...

[Blitz]

Heres an idea for a team name:


Kingusman's Warriors

[saj001]

Originally Posted by Blitz Heres an idea for a team name: Kingusman's Warriors

KingOsama Warriors?

[Blitz]

[kingusama92]

Kings Osama, Usman or Usama won't be in the team's name. Doesn't look "team-like".

For the team name, people can post suggestions and then we'll have a final vote among the selected team.

[Pakistaniboy]

The Honest Knights XI

[kingusama92]

^

That's a good start. We'll need some more from everyone.

[Square Drive]

The Wicked Wizards.

[Energy]

This is my other choice then, hoping for better results here.

Left armer, able with numbers, very good with strategic understanding of the game, and decent with designs (have a couple in the Pakistani kit section). The hardware section of my abilities would include being on the job for long hours, along with ensuring the team-work is of the highest standards. In short, if you're looking for suggestions and support in the Vettori mode, you've got the right man for the job.

Team name could be Sovereign Symposium if it makes good reading.

[murphyslaw79]

My suggestion was Black Hawk CC and you know my reasoning behind it.

[cricmylife]

I like this people tooting their own horns strategy!

[kingusama92]

Good suggestions so far guys.

[kingusama92]

Welcome to the first two new members of the team, Watsupdoc and Square Drive.

[Square Drive]

Thanks Usama

It's Canada power, eh? ;)

[kingusama92]

^

I was always going to pick a keeper and pure all rounder, first up.

Luckily, it worked out well in terms of two Canadians!

[Square Drive]

Hehe, I'm a Mississaugan Canadian, you?

[kingusama92]

^

Same.

It would be weird if Watsupdoc is from Sauga as well.

[Square Drive]

LOL. ^ Sauga is a weird name made from Aboriginals. It actually sounds Sri Lankan .

[kingusama92]

Yeah, some of the names are crazy here in Canada. Especially, when you go into Nunavut and those areas.

[Square Drive]

Yeah, like Saskatchewan. I divide it into 4 seperate words to remember it. Sas-kat-chew-an

Anyways, hope our team gets stronger. BTW, what position are you gonna put me in (I prefer the middle-order, but your choice)?

[Watsupdoc]

Nice to be in team! I will do my best!

[Watsupdoc]

And by the way I am not from Canada

[kingusama92]

Originally Posted by Watsupdoc And by the way I am not from Canada

Oh snap.

Doesn't matter, you were my pick regardless.

[Square Drive]

Originally Posted by Watsupdoc And by the way I am not from Canada

Oh unlucky there. ;)

[Watsupdoc]

For the team name, some suggestions:

Record Smashers
Boombusters (lol)
Inceptors
Firecrackers

[Watsupdoc]

[Square Drive]

Hehe, bonjour monsieur

[Square Drive]

Team name suggestion:

Rocking Rattlesnakes

Slithering Snakes

Brave Bears

By the way, why did you guys think I was from Canada?

[Square Drive]

Comme ci comme ca.

TBH, I don't know myself.

Have me open, 1-down, or send me in at the end of the innings to keep the bowlers' and fielders' eyes looking out of the ground every ball. Powerplay or not. III. You can relate me to Afridi if you're comparing his ability to hit the ball anywhere in the ground, but I have that Don Bradman class still with me and have control over my strokes. IV. Straight-A, goodie-tissue boy in school and at home, so there will not be any misconduct issues. But once I'm on the field, you'll see a man with the force of a mother bear who just got her cubs taken away. 110% given 100% of the time, if not more. V. Originally wanting to be a Fast-bowling Pure All-Rounder, I have a great arm and am one fast fellow, meaning putting me outside the circle is the equivalent of having no boundaries hit in my general area. But more recently, I have been adapted to playing in the slips. I can see the ball coming before it is hit. ***If you need a part-time bowler, you can find one in me. My Idea: Of course fielders need to support bowlers, but sometimes the bowlers need to support themselves. We need to keep our economy rates very low. The reason is because well: Once a batsman is under pressure, he has many ways of getting out of it. Once a bowler is under pressure, he loses his sanity for the rest of his overs. (For example ) In my opinion, I'd rather have our batsmen playing with less pressure and easily gaining runs than our batsman having to work harder because our bowlers easily gave runs. Hoping great things happen for this league and more importantly this team.......(the Perfection Pacers)

This was my application to iZeeshan's team [edited], but I need to open myself up to more teams and you look like your team will have a strong base

[Square Drive]

So what's our squad so far, guys?

[iZeeshan]

...i'm bitterly disappointed in you. i thought I was your favorite

[shahidrazzaq]

Originally Posted by iZeeshan ...i'm bitterly disappointed in you. i thought I was your favorite

I have to keep open to other teams, but you're still my favorite

And Rizzy didn't update his post, so I thought Usama still had his two votes coming up, but looks like he used em'. Back to making your team win

[iZeeshan]

nice save, just remember, I cherish loyalty

[Watsupdoc]

Originally Posted by Square Drive So what's our squad so far, guys?

Just you and me (+ Usama of course) I think.

[kingusama92]

Guys, if you have any suggestions about team composition, please shout them out.

I have a certain game plan, right now. I might send you guys a PM talking about the method to my madness.

Still, I am open to suggestions. Sometimes, I might have forgot something and you could bring it to my notice.

[Square Drive]

Sure thing Usama.

And thanks for updating the squad in the OP as well.!

[Watsupdoc]

Nice and yea sure thing about the team composition.

[Ahson Afzal]

Please pick me too KU bhai

[NJamal]

Is it not unfair that you can use PM to communicate with your players as a Mod but the other Captains can't?

[Watsupdoc]

I think we should go for pure batsman and pure bowler next. What say SD? (Of course the final say is Usama's)

[WiiiCKET]

Please select me, i am young Slow Left arm bowler and will bring variety into the team.. I see myself as Raza Hasan for now and soon will became Daniel Vettori of PP. So please select me in your team.

[Square Drive]

Yeah, I was also thinking of selecting a pure fast bowler next. Let's see what Usama has to say about this.

We might also go for a spinner. I already am one, but we might pick another one (up to Usama).

[kingusama92]

There is no rule against this.

If you wish, you can get a mod to pass along PMs for you. Maybe, a neutral mod.

[kingusama92]

Guys, I will send a PM detailing what I think is going to be our course of action.

Have slightly changed my mind after seeing the new revelation of averages. This will let you guys see what I am considering and you guys can chip in with suggestions.

Okay, no problem.
