I wasn"t going to ask anyone as I wanted team players who wanted to be there.

There"s plenty of us out here that would love to be there and who consider themselves team players. However, our results have to back up our application,per your initial request,, and so to some extent I think many people de-selected themselves on that basis. So you really shouldn"t be surprised at the lack of entries, please don"t assume that it is a lack of enthusiasm for the team.

Have to agree with Andy here.You possibly took too many people out of the equation with a results orientated selection criteria.Most of the other obvious reasons hols/work/cost/logistics were movable objects with an England call up.
You had to have your own criteria for selection,captain"s perogotive,and fully understand a respect that,however, limiting your selection pool massively then being suprised at such few applicants,suprised me tbh.

Sorry I missed the boat on this one but I thought selection criteria was to be "results" based and as I have only played one live event this year I didn"t think my results merited me applying to be selected for the team. I"m sorry to hear only 9 people put their names forward. Having been the acting captain in the first year I can definitely say it is an honour and fun to play for your country.
So for next year I am definitely putting my name forward either to play for the team or to act as captain, always willing to help in anyway I can. But I"m hoping that next year more people will get the chance to represent their country. Its an opportunity that few people ever get the chance to do and an honour when given the chance to do so.

Top Side, Well done Brian!!
I fully expect the title to be kept on home soil by the time I touch down in a few weeks time.
COME ON ENGLAND!!!
Pears27:
I can see how pre-qualifying applications by looking at results reduces the field captains have to choose from. Trouble is, the risk of not doing that is that you could easily see the same team being picked every year. If there"s no results element to the selection, how can captains show they"ve been objective in how they"ve picked the team?
But I would say that wouldn"t I...
