Team Oz

Post by Babs »

IF the tournament can be shown to be competently run (with some Oz coaches dubious because of an incomplete website, a changing of dates and an undecided ruleset) then I'll help to organise team Oz.

Here's the current 'likelies':

Bevan (Brian Horton)
D'Arquebus (Daniel Hutchison)
Sangraal (Bill Murphy)

and maybies:

Doubleskulls (Ian Williams)
OzJesting (Tommy Dean)

I'll keep working on it and keep this thread updated. Remember, the more organised the world cup appears, the more likely a team from Oz is to attend.

Unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to make the WC :(

I'm going to be in the UK next year - but almost certainly not in October.

As noted, OzJesting is a 'maybe'. Potentially interested.

:D :smoking: Maybe I'll save the Blackshit team as my plan B. Can't you get 2 ECBBL teams together?

It does indeed look like we have a team with both D'Arquebus and Shasta McNasty indicating they are keen!

However, our secret weapon Bevan is out :evil:

Hey Babs,

Kransky has shown interest as well when I've discussed it with him. Bend his ear and direct him to the details and I think you can probably count him in :D .

Please add me to the list as a "probable" (assuming a Kiwi coach is allowed to play for team Oz).

Cheers
