The opinions expressed in this post are solely that of the author who, on occasion, had an out-of-body experience and was able to watch himself play.
Before the season started Sohail, Manish, Ashok, Abishek and Arvind sat down and charted some of the strategies and goals for the season.
The team would always be selected by a consensus opinion of the five. Once the team was decided, all the players would be encouraged to give inputs at any time, but the final on-field decisions on bowling changes, batting orders, and field placement would come from one man - Sohail.
Each player would be told what his role in the team was and practices would be set up such that their roles would be reinforced. Practices would simulate match conditions and at all times all the players would be on the bubble. Of course, missing practices automatically disqualified a player from playing in matches.
By far, the biggest emphasis was on team discipline. Under no circumstances would indiscipline be tolerated. WVUCC would play less than 11 members , but would not compromise on this point.
So, dear friends, if you are still reading these posts, the stage has been set and the 2007 season is about to begin. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

didn't wvucc make u sign a confidentiality agreement before you left. Hopefully your team doesn't sue you for revealing team secrets :-)
Nope, WVUCC neglected to get my signature on the confidentiality agreement. Keep reading, as the season goes on I shall be revealing more of the team's strategy, as and when the opportunity presents itself. :-)
