International Calls

[Neil Pickup]

I had the unfortunate experience today of getting five batsman/allrounders called up by England for the NatWest Series and another two out injured.

Injured: David Sales, +James Foster
International: Wayne Tennyson, *Nick Knight, Matthew Wood, Chris Schofield, Gavin Hamilton

Leaving me with this first XI:
Mark Hopcutt
*Anthony McGrath
+Matthew Sinclair
Mark Wagh
Matthew Bulbeck
Robin Martin-Jenkins
Robert Croft
Kabir Ali
James Ormond
Ricaldo Anderson
Des Thompson

Tail starting at five... we still beat Sussex by an innings, however, after all the top five scored fifties

I know the feeling. Playing with my Yorkshire team in 2004, Gough, Vaughan, White, Hamilton, Bulbeck, Hoggard and Hutchinson were all called up. I managed a win anyway with an 18 yr old rookie notching 87 and 55.

i only need 1000 more and i'm a cricketing god . also when u get past 2012 u have to take up the england captaincy. otheriwse ur whole team gets depleted and u have really bad young ppl brought into ur team for however many matches the internationals r playing. i normally have a squad size of 30-35. as i know the money cheat.
