[craft1948]

Is it the last one in the bath?

[redman41]

He takes the place of an injured Team mate but he cannot Bat or Bowl

[Sqad]

red....I bloody know that.....bur how is he chosen?

[redman41]

By the Selectors when choosing 12 men, 11 + 1 Sub !

[Frank97]

Isn't the sub the twelfth man? So therefor picked by the selectors before the match starts.

[craft1948]

Well if he can't bat or bowl they must choose the best fielder not in the team.

[Sqad]

Well, do you mean that the selectors chose this lad from Woolatan CC?

[Frank97]

Does this help.

D9...I think that 12th man and substitute are two different things......I think!

[Sqad]

D9....No.

[Frank97]

Oh well, I tried!

[redman41]

The 12th Man is the Sub Squad, he even brings out the drinks to the other Players

[Sqad]

D9...LOL

How did they choose Elstone from the whole of the country....well Nottinghamshire anyway.

[Sqad]

red.....fine.....but how do they choose him?

Quote :
There is also a reserve player called a "twelfth man" who is used should a player be injured during play. The twelfth man is not allowed to bowl, bat, wicket keep or captain the team. His sole duty is to act as a substiture fielder. The original player is free to return to the game as soon as they have recovered from their injury.

red....frustrated of Menorca....BLOOD KNOW THAT.....but how did they single out Scott Elstone, who plays for Woolaton CC and also the Nottinghamshire Academy to be 12th man.........he aint even a county player.

[Frank97]

Is he the son of a selector?

[redman41]

He makes the best Cup of Tea Squad even though he plays for Sheepsha$$ers CC ! LOL
