On the off chance that I don't have anybody else to compete against, Ill just vote for myself and we can do some election sabotaging. I know its not the best but we've got to take every advantage we can. Like voting Sector into South Africa or something.

Well, I hope people have been happy with my long stint in charge of the UAE. I'd like to think you have all been happy overall with this stint, we achieved back to back promotions in T20. We were always amongst the top 2 in the SOD and we by no means embarrassed ourselves at the WC. Missing the Play offs by 3 runs overall if you look at it. I have set orders for our friendly tomorrow. Just giving my views on a few of the younger players, where we should head, just to give Nathan something to think about and It will be my last game I take charge of as manager. Thank You Firstly, congratulations on a successful stint as manager EB, achieving double promotion in T20 is no easy task and just missing out on qualification in this world cup. I tweaked the orders a bit for tomorrow, as I really want to test out some of the younger guys, and see how they cope, so tomorrow is the first look you will get at our new squad guys. So have a look

Going to extend this by another week due to the fact Elections won't be over at the time that this closes

Haha, yeah. If we can pip Zimbabwe, I think we'll set up a showdown with league leaders India for promotion. They'll likely rest players too - as there's no "1 free rest day" between groups and KO's.... so that's our window.... if we can knock of Zimbabwe first. Essentially, doing the calculations we can squeeze into 3rd place on Run Rate. We need the Indians to beat the dutch and we need to win our remaining two matches other wise we are out

TBH, actually glad Australia lost. Gives the team a reality check and our batsmen and Tait, Johnson and Lee are due to click for a match. Means we get to most likely play India at Ahmedabad, and Pakistan will play West Indies. Knowing Pakistan, they will find a way to lose against the Windies.

Basically, im looking for a 3rd assistant for next season, as ill be retaining Butlee and Equisiteblue as assistants next season, so the foundation of the Nat Team.
Basically, I am looking to give someone who has not had a go as an assistant before with the UAE to learn the ropes essentially. The person selected will be given a four week trial, and if everything runs smoothly, you'll become permanent. The four week trial involves taking control of a friendly. The person will be selected from within the community.
So basically, i've only posted the assistant message on the offsite, due to the fact that this is the primary discussion point for people within the UAE community.
So, if you want to apply, basically just express your interest in the position in this thread and outline three advantages you have as a manager, and what you hope to gain from this position.
Basically, ill be selecting the person with Butlee and Equisiteblue, based on activeness, how long you've been involved in the UAE community and attitude.
Applications close Friday 8 April at Midnight. Which is 2 weeks from now. No applications will be accepted after this date, which is plenty of notice.
