Zimbabwe National Battrick Cricket Team

ALL ROUNDER NEEDED - URGENTLY!!!!!!

In view of the news that Jeff Pelsenburgs team has gone bot and he hasn't played enough games to be transfer listed by the Battrick powers that be, we are due to lose our highest waged player.

I now need an allrounder, or at least a bowler who knows which end of the bat to hold. If you know of anyone (preferably BTR +35,000 and wages of more than 5k) then please let me know.

Zimbabwe NT Requirements

As this is our first time on the International stage we will be starting off as novices.

In the NT squad I would like batsmen and bowlers of at least Proficient primary skills. Obviously I will need a couple of wicket keepers who at least know how to hold a bat. Hopefully all players will have at least respectable fitness, exceptions to this can be made.

There will be no pressure put on people to throw loads of nets onto a single player, thus damaging the rest of their own squad, however if anyone has the nets available then obviously they are more than welcome to use as many as they like on a player.

Do you have a player who you think could make it on the Battrick National Scene, if so let me ( Dan_Doyle) know.
