S26: FanFooty Best XI - Batsmen Nominations

[PowerBug]

Nominate your batsmen here, rules are as follows:

- Must have had the player in your side for at least 2 seasons (That is, to make things easy, bought on or before May 31st 2014)
- Must have the player(s) skills revealed.

To make sure that the polls don't get out of hand, I will be capping AR and Keeper polls to 5, Bowler polls to 10, and Batsman polls to 15. If there are extra nominations I will decide who makes the final cut, unless it seems difficult to split.

Also, you are encouraged to NOT vote for your own player(s)

I will open up threads for nominations now, they will all be run at the same time, nominations will close on Boxing Day, and on the 27th voting will open. Voting will remain open until New Years Day.

Nominees:
Tom Swift - Boundary Hitter (Opium Splendour)
Amir Salim - Boundary Hitter (DazBurg's Greatness)
Gadil Khaleel - Boundary Hitter (DazBurg's Greatness)
Fahim Zia - (The Brat Pack)
Daniel Currie - Spin Specialist (Hello)
Anderson Silva - Boundary Hitter (Hello)
Maxime Gaudet - (Hello)
Paul Aronstam - Seam Specialist (PowerBugCC)

[AFEV]

My only nomination in here will be Tom Swift.

[DazBurg]

my 2

Amir Salem.

Gadil Khaleel.

again not putting any spec/spec atm as reckon we will get enough better ones

Edit: Btw i realize Khaleel has no power but in saying that he is a BH a notion we have been looking into especially at Nat Level
hence why Salim has been stopped at accom aswell

[BratPack]

Fahim Zia

[PowerBug]

Need to reveal Zia BP :)

[CrowsFan]

Well I'll nominate these two, but I'm sure they'll get cut out...

Nathaniel Tiger
Hamilton Cheetah

Maybe in a few seasons haha ;)

[Hellopplz]

If only Khaleel had power Dazzle! And we'll have to beat them in these teams HB before they start dominating in like 3+ seasons :P.

Anderson Silva, Maxime Gaudet and Daniel Currie would be my nominations. I'd expect Currie to be cut out though once other Managers come on to post their guys.

[PowerBug]

I think we'll have a team of Boundary Hitters here. Paul Aronstam I doubt will make the top 5, but he's my best batsman so I'll nominate anyway :(

[Hellopplz]

I've got 2 Openers but they're too young and not at high enough level yet :(.

not meant too as stated

the theroy is less power means more dot balls more dot balls means more trigger talents
play on Defensive and trigger away

You know that's bullshower right......

I'm not sure if it's been proven one way or the other. Personally I don't want to rely on the trigger to score me runs. You'll need a big collection of data to see how many dot balls get turned into triggers. Are triggers independent of opposition strength? If so that makes it easier, you can use every game, otherwise you would need to only pick evenly matched games to work it out for certain.

[JBs-Hawks]

Yes less power doesnt mean more dots? Less power means less 4s and 6s more 1s and 2s?

Only way is to hold many many friendlies using the same squad, same orders and everything to test it and that would need a heap to get the data required for it. Why I still train some Power into my BHs and most players just to be sure not to rely too much on talents. I don't like trigger talents too much because can be random so unreliable.

sorry yes that is the point
less 2's and 3's making  dots and 1's trigger
