Selection criteria explained

As this is something of a hot topic in all sports teams it may as well be somthing that gets some air-time in the hotly contested cauldron that is the WPCC Nadoes 3rds- or WN3's!

As a member of the selection committee (this could change though should a new captain be elected- I've heard Ginny and Sibu's name bandied about??), I sit with a few others and decide upon the teams for the weekend. When it comes to the time to select the WN3's it is never an easy task. Sometimes we have numbers streaming in to play, whilst other times, the like of a tall, hairy all rounder, and a goldfish looking left hander have been known to have other arrangements with better halves. one also has to cater for the wlakabout tendencies of a nuggety batsman who jumps and jives all over the country, as well as the tendency for our rocket to pick up a malfunction deeming him unavailable. One also needs to bear in mind that a few players may be pissed from the night before and bring along a few rowdy mates to shout/hoot from their cars. variables there are a plenty. All in all one tries to reward loyalty as well as form, and this is how it will stay this year.

Then there are a few other things that need to be born in mind. Does this person serve the best interests of the team in the field? Does their disability hinder them from peak-performance? is there liking for culinary delights removing their focus from the game? Do they attempt to wrestle power away from the true VC, and over do their role as the Uh-uh? Does their desire for one of our 1st team players's sister cause friction within the club?

All of these questions will weigh on the minds of the selectors this year. But one thing is for sure, no stone will be left unturned to top this league!! And thanks Great for startin this site, your loyalty will be noted come selection meeting time, unlike others who have chosen only to throw stones!!

  1. Ha.. Rather a disability than lack of ability! And as for their 'desire' for a first team players's sister... Someone's being very quiet on that front! Not being a homewrecker though I'll do the same, unless he tries to use it against me...
