Could really do with one more new ball bowler, preferably who can bat 7/8 and then a couple of batsmen.

 

[Riggins]

**** i'm useless. been so caught up with exams this week. breaking my balls.

 

[NUFAN]

Screw exams, I think we all know what is more important.

Don't forget that there is going to be a 12th and final round and the winning teams are based on the best XI's.

 

[adub]

what, the team with the most sheep doesn't win?

 

[Riggins]

Yeah change of rules. If your team wouldn't lose to the current England side then you're disqualified.

 

[G.I.Joe]

9a Pick a Cricketer who played a Test in the 1980s (1 Jan 1980 to 31 Dec 1989)

[Red]

The Anderson Cummins (Canada's Coolest Cricketer) Invite XI

- Len Hutton
- Conrad Hunte
-
- Norm O’Neill
- Mike Hussey
- Slammin' Sammy Loxton
- Farohk Engineer +
- Anderson Cummins *
- Hugh Tayfield
-
-


Not unhappy. Two great openers, and O'Neill and Hussey make a nice middle order. Engineer a quality keeper/batsman who will pair well with Tayfield's spin. Loxton and Cummins the weaker spots but both can play a handy all round role if I get my next 3 selections right.

 

[NUFAN]

Just waiting on Spikey and Uve.

 

[Spikey]

give me a minute, ****

 

[adub]

sure you don't want you ****s too big, but minute is probably taking things too far

[fredfertang]

I'm getting the hang of this

 

[adub]

I got the one I thought was the least chance.

LOTSA love for Rhino though no real surprise.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Ohh yesss.

Marshall sneaking through while Holding and Roberts got sheeped is well played though, as is Steyn getting past (II'll be damned if he didn't get picked but its a possibility I suppose)

 

[NUFAN]
