HAHA! No I don't, in the case of Pidge I was going off what I saw when we played them, feedback I got from other clubs and yes in this case the stats. I don't think they really lie - not to mention if you go back over previous representative games, his record isn't actually very flash. Although I thought he was very good last year in the carnival, fact still remains he isn't bowling regularly and not nearly well enough - for a bloke whose supposed to be the premier quick in the competition..

As for the second point, well I disagree - the only legitimate person who has flat out refused to play is Travis Uern, the others have provided perfectly valid reasons and have indicated their interest still in playing in future matches.
Also not sure what reason I have given players to not want to play in these games, I'm just a volunteer who was asked to take on this role, and have given up my own personal time and energy over the past two years to try and help out (last year with the 21's). If people aren't happy with my appointment then they should speak up - i'll happily step down and enjoy spending my spare time with my family doing other things.
